Write the definition of a function divide that takes four arguments and returns no value . The first two arguments are of type i

nt . The last two arguments arguments are pointers to int and are set by the function to the quotient and remainder of dividing the first argument by the second argument . The function does not return a value .The function can be used as follows:int numerator=42, denominator=5, quotient, remainder; divide(numerator,denominator,&quotient,&remainder); / quotient is now 8 / / remainder is now 2 /

Answer:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void divide(int numerator, int denominator, int *quotient, int *remainder)

{

*quotient = (int)(numerator / denominator);

*remainder = numerator % denominator;

}

int main()

{

int num = 42, den = 5, quotient=0, remainder=0;

divide(num, den, &quotient, &remainder);

 

return 0;

}

Explanation:

The exercise is for "Call by pointers". This technique is particularly useful when a variable needs to be changed by a function. In our case, the quotient and the remainder. The '&' is passing by address. Since the function is calling a pointer. We need to pass an address. This way, the function will alter the value at the address.

To sum up, in case we hadn't used pointers here, the quotient and remainder that we set to '0' would have remained zero because the function would've made copies of them, altered the copies and then DELETED the copies. When we pass by pointer, the computer goes inside the memory and changes it at the address. No new copies are made. And the value of the variable is updated.

Thanks! :)

What is one difference between a web page and a web application? Web pages provide information, while web applications allow the
Assoli18 [71]

Webpage is a page of a site, such as https://example.com/test, where the bolded text is the page.

On the other hand, web applications, or simply web apps, are found in many websites, such as here and also in Connexus. They end in either aspx or jsp, which stand for asp.net appx and javascript page, respectively.


So, your answer would be A: Web pages provide information, while web applications allow the user to do something.

Hope this was answer you were looking for. Have a nice day!

(Count positive and negative numbers and compute the average of numbers) Write a program that reads an unspecified number of int
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sorry it  is in Java, though you can covert it using converter

public class Exercise {

public static void main(String[] args) {

 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

 int positives = 0;  // Count the number of positive numbers

 int negatives = 0;  // Count the number of negative numbers

 int count = 0;   // Count all numbers

 double total = 0;  // Accumulate a totol

 // Promopt the user to enter an integer or 0 to exit

 System.out.print("Enter an integer, the input ends if it is 0: ");

 int number = input.nextInt();

 if (number == 0) { // Test for sentinel value

  System.out.println("No numbers are entered except 0");

  System.exit(1);

 }

 while (number != 0) {// Test for sentinel value

  if (number > 0)

   positives++; // Increase positives

  else

   negatives++; // Increase negatives

  total += number; // Accumulate total

  count++;    // Increase the count

  number = input.nextInt();

 }

 // Calculate the average

 double average = total / count;

 // Display results

 System.out.println(

  "The number of positive is " + positives +

  "\nThe number of negatives is " + negatives +

  "\nThe total is total " + total +

  "\nThe average is " + average);

}

}
