Answer:
C is the answer!

Explanation:

A hard drive contains your operating system which can include your settings and preferences that you included in your device. But it mostly is a storage device so we know it WOULD NOT BE (B.

WOULD NOT BE D beacause powering it back on wouldnt do anything but bring you back to the start.

WOULD NOT BE A beacuse when taking out the battery then putting it back in would just be like turning it off then back on beacuse that just hold the power to a device.

IT WOULD BE C, C IS THE ANSWER beacuse a CMOS batttery contains the main system settings and  also contains information so i think C would be the best answer for this choice.


Hope this helps!

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Output: 2004 2008 2058  

Explanation:

In the first printf command it will print the address of the variables num, msg1, msg2. And in the second printf command it will print the values of the variables num, msg1, msg2. As the address of the structure is 2004 And the size of the integer is 4 byte so size will increase with 4 bytes and the size of character is 1 byte so it will increase by 1*50= 50 bytes.

Hence, the output is 2004 2008 2058

Nana76 [90]

       Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

       System.out.println("Enter the numbers to add up. enter 999 to stop");

       int num = in.nextInt();

       int sum = 0;

       while (num!=999){

           sum = sum+num;

           System.out.println("Enter the next number");

           num = in.nextInt();

       }

       System.out.println("The sum is: "+sum);

   }

}

Explanation:

The application is implemented in Java

A while loop is used to continously prompt user for inputs. The condition of the while loop is  while (num!=999)
