#include ... void sig_handler(){ static int i = 1; printf("Beep\n"); alarm(i); ++i; } int main(){ struct sigaction sa; sa.sa_fla

Suppose the above program is run for 7.5 seconds after it prints "Going into an infinite loop". The program is run multiple times where the "system load" from other processes sharing the cpu will vary from none to many other processes. Which best characterizes how many times "Beep" is printed?

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

After the compiling the program it prints "Going to infinite loop" after that i started the timer till 4.5 sec. The program prints more than 4 beeps nearly 6-7 beep messages were printed.

The number "Beep" would always be strictly greater than 4.

Hence, if the above program is run for 7.5 seconds after it prints "Going in an infinite loop", it will print Beep for about 9-10 times. Hence, the number will always be greater than 7

You are consulting for a trucking company that does a large amount ofbusiness shipping packages between New York and Boston. The
likoan [24]

Answer:

Answer explained with detail below

Explanation:

Consider the solution given by the greedy algorithm as a sequence of packages, here represented by indexes: 1, 2, 3, ... n. Each package i has a weight, w_i, and an assigned truck t_i. { t_i } is a non-decreasing sequence (as the k'th truck is sent out before anything is placed on the k+1'th truck). If t_n = m, that means our solution takes m trucks to send out the n packages.

If the greedy solution is non-optimal, then there exists another solution { t'_i }, with the same constraints, s.t. t'_n = m' < t_n = m.

Consider the optimal solution that matches the greedy solution as long as possible, so \for all i < k, t_i = t'_i, and t_k != t'_k.

t_k != t'_k => Either

1) t_k = 1 + t'_k

    i.e. the greedy solution switched trucks before the optimal solution.

    But the greedy solution only switches trucks when the current truck is full. Since t_i = t'_i i < k, the contents of the current truck after adding the k - 1'th package are identical for the greedy and the optimal solutions.

    So, if the greedy solution switched trucks, that means that the truck couldn't fit the k'th package, so the optimal solution must switch trucks as well.

    So this situation cannot arise.

  2) t'_k = 1 + t_k

     i.e. the optimal solution switches trucks before the greedy solution.

     Construct the sequence { t"_i } s.t.

       t"_i = t_i, i <= k

       t"_k = t'_i, i > k

     This is the same as the optimal solution, except package k has been moved from truck t'_k to truck (t'_k - 1). Truck t'_k cannot be overpacked, since it has one less packages than it did in the optimal solution, and truck (t'_k - 1)

     cannot be overpacked, since it has no more packages than it did in the greedy solution.

     So { t"_i } must be a valid solution. If k = n, then we may have decreased the number of trucks required, which is a contradiction of the optimality of { t'_i }. Otherwise, we did not increase the number of trucks, so we created an optimal solution that matches { t_i } longer than { t'_i } does, which is a contradiction of the definition of { t'_i }.

   So the greedy solution must be optimal.

#Write a function called string_finder. string_finder should #take two parameters: a target string and a search string. #The fun
adoni [48]

Answer:

I am writing a Python program:

def string_finder(target,search): #function that takes two parameters i.e. target string and a search string

   position=(target.find(search))# returns lowest index of search if it is found in target string

   if position==0: # if value of position is 0 means lowers index

       return "Beginning" #the search string in the beginning of target string

   elif position== len(target) - len(search): #if position is equal to the difference between lengths of the target and search strings

       return "End" # returns end

   elif position > 0 and position < len(target) -1: #if value of position is greater than 0 and it is less than length of target -1

       return "Middle" #returns middle        

   else: #if none of above conditions is true return not found

       return "not found"

#you can add an elif condition instead of else for not found condition as:

#elif position==-1    

#returns "not found"

#tests the data for the following cases      

print(string_finder("Georgia Tech", "Georgia"))

print(string_finder("Georgia Tech", "gia"))

print(string_finder("Georgia Tech", "Tech"))

print(string_finder("Georgia Tech", "Idaho"))

Explanation:

The program can also be written in by using string methods.

def string_finder(target,search):  #method definition that takes target string and string to be searched

       if target.startswith(search):  #startswith() method scans the target string and checks if the (substring) search is present at the start of target string

           return "Beginning"  #if above condition it true return Beginning

       elif target.endswith(search):  #endswith() method scans the target string and checks if the (substring) search is present at the end of target string

           return "End" #if above elif condition it true return End

       elif target.find(search) != -1:  #find method returns -1 if the search string is not in target string so if find method does not return -1 then it means that the search string is within the target string and two above conditions evaluated to false so search string must be in the middle of target string

           return "Middle"  #if above elif condition it true return End

       else:  #if none of the above conditions is true then returns Not Found

           return "Not Found"
