16.50. Suppose we have a sequential (ordered) file of 100,000 records where each record is 240 bytes. Assume that B = 2,400 byte

s, s = 16 ms, rd = 8.3 ms, and btt = 0.8 ms. Suppose we want to make X independent random record reads from the file. We could make X random block reads or we could perform one exhaustive read of the entire file looking for those X records. The question is to decide when it would be more efficient to perform one exhaustive read of the entire file than to perform X individual random reads. That is, what is the value for X when an exhaustive read of the file is more efficient than random X reads? Develop this as a function of X.

Answer and Explanation:

Given that total number of records in a file = 100000

Each record consists of= 240 bytes

Given that B= 2400 bytes.

Then total blocks in file = 100000 records * 240 / 2400

= 10000 blocks.

Time that will take for exhaustive read

= s + r + b.btt

= 16 + 8.3 + (10000) * 0.8

= 8024.3 msec

Now as per given X be the number of records that are searched randomly and it takes more than exhaustive read time.

Hence, X (s + r + btt) > 8024.3

X (16+8.3+0.8) > 8024.3

X > 8024.3/25.1

So that, X > 319.69

Hence, atleast 320 random reads should be made to search the file

Write a Python 3 script in PyCharm that will simulate the game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors": Display a header and the simple rules
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

'''

Rock, Paper, Scissors:

The Rules:

If player1's move equivalent to player2's move, "It's a tie".

"rock" beats "scissors", "scissors" beats "paper", and "paper" beats "rock"

'''

player_1 = input("Player 1's move: ")

print('*** NO CHEATING ***' * 20)

player_2 = input("Player 2's move: ")

if player_1 or player_2 not in ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]:

 print("Invalid input!")

if player_1 == player_2:

   print("It's a tie")

else:

   if player_1 == "rock":

       if player_2 == "scissors":

           print("Player 1 won")

       elif player_2 == "paper":

           print("Player 2 won")

   elif player_1 == "scissors":

       if player_2 == "paper":

           print("Player 1 won")

       elif player_2 == "rock":

           print("Player 2 won")

   elif player_1 == "paper":

       if player_2 == "rock":

           print("Player 1 won")

       elif player_2 == "scissors":

           print("Player 2 won")

Explanation:

In the comment part, put the header and the rules of the game

Ask the user to enter the player1's move

Print the asterisks

Ask the user to enter the player2's move

If any of the input is not "rock", "paper", "scissors", state that the input is invalid

Check the inputs. If they are equal, print that it is a tie. Otherwise:

If player1's move is rock. Check player2's move. If it is "scissors", player1 wins. If it is "paper", player2 wins

If player1's move is scissors. Check player2's move. If it is "paper", player1 wins. If it is "rock", player2 wins

If player1's move is paper. Check player2's move. If it is "rock", player1 wins. If it is "scissors", player2 wins
