A small company has developed a specialized software product that it configures specially for each customer. New customers usual

ly have specific requirements to be incorporated into their system, and they pay for these to be developed and integrated with the product. The software company has an opportunity to bid for a new contract, which would more than double its customer base. The new customer wishes to have some involvement in the configuration of the system. Explain why, in these circumstances, it might be a good idea for the company owning the software to make it open source.

Answer:

It would be good for the company to make the item open source since it lessens the progression costs and attempts.

If turned into open source then the code would be available to the customers and are they could to take off upgrades and modify it to their own specific needs. It reduces the company's efforts, satisfies the customers whilts including them.

Write a class Student() such that it has an attribute 'score' (that is initialized with 10) and three methods: add_score(): adds
Feliz [49]

Answer:

I am writing the Python program. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language. Here is the Python code:

class Student(object):

   def __init__(a,score=10):

       a.score=score

   def add_score(a,score):

       a.score += 10

       return (score)

   def decrease_score(a,score):

       a.score -=10

       return (score)

   def __str__(a):

       current_score="{}".format(a.score)

       return current_score

Explanation:

The program has a Student() class with attribute score.

It has the following methods:

__init__(): This method works as a constructor and enables to initialize score attribute of Student class. The value of score is initialized to 10. I have used a as the instance of Student class. However self keyword can also be used as an instance of the object to access the attributes and methods of Student class.

add_score() This method is used to add 10 to the score.

decrease_score() This method is used to decrease the score by 10.

__str__() This method is used to return the current score. format() is used here to return a string. current_score holds the value of the current score.

If you want the check the working of the program, then you can use the following statements to see the results on the output screen:

p = Student()

print(p)

p.add_score(p)

print(p)

This will create an object p of Student class and calls the above methods to display the values of the score according to the methods.

The program along with its output is attached.

In this exercise you will debug the code which has been provided in the starter file. The code is intended to take two strings,
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Here is the corrected program:

import java.util.Scanner; //to accept input from user

public class 02_14_Activity_one { //class name

    public static void main(String[] args) { //start of main method

    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); //creates Scanner class object

  System.out.println("Enter first string"); //prompts user to enter first string

          String s1 = scan.nextLine(); //reads input string from user

  System.out.println("Enter second string"); //prompts user to enter second string

          String s2 = scan.nextLine(); //reads second input string from user

    System.out.println("Enter number of letters from each word"); //enter n

          int n = scan.nextInt(); //reads value of integer n from user

          System.out.println(s1.substring(0,n) + s2.substring(s2.length() - n ));

         } } //uses substring method to print a string made up of the first n letters of s1 and the last n letters of s2.

Explanation:

The errors were:

1.

Scanner scan = Scanner(System.in);

Here new keyword is missing to create object scan of Scanner class.

Corrected statement:

 Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

2.

String s1 = nextLine();  

Here object scan is missing to call nextLine() method of class Scanner

Corrected statement:

String s1 = scan.nextLine();

3.

String s2 = Scanner.nextLine();

Here class is used instead of its object scan to access the method nextLine

Corrected statement:

String s2 = scan.nextLine();

4.

String n = scan.nextLine();

Here n is of type String but n is a whole number so it should be of type int. Also the method nextInt will be used to scan and accept an integer value

Corrected statement:

int n = scan.nextInt();

5.

System.out.println(s1.substring(1,n-1) + s2.substring(s1.length()-n));

This statement is also not correct

Corrected statement:

System.out.println(s1.substring(0,n) + s2.substring(s2.length() - n ));

This works as follows:

s1.substring(0,n) uses substring method to return a new string that is a substring of this s1. The substring begins at the 0th index of s1 and extends to the character at index n.

s2.substring(s2.length() - n ) uses substring method to return a new string that is a substring of this s2. The substring then uses length() method to get the length of s2 and subtracts integer n from it and thus returns the last n characters of s2.

The screenshot of program along with its output is attached.

Show how to define a view tot_credits (year, num_credits), giving the total number of credits taken by students in each year
andreev551 [17]

Hi! I'm a Digital Marketer Intern at hotels.ng and I have a moderate knowledge on programming.

First, your  question is not very explanatory. The term "view" is often used in back-end web development. A view is simply a Python function that takes a Web request and returns a Web response.

But I'm not sure this is what you want, so I'll just go ahead and write a python function involving class to return the total number of credits taken by a student.

I'll answer this question using Python.

class student(object):  

    credits = None

    year = None

    def num_credits(self):


       #get credit value

       self.credits = input("Enter the total number of credits: "  )


       pass

    def getYear(self):

        self.year = input("Enter current year: ")

        pass

    def tot_credits(self):

          TotalCredits = tempTotalCredits + self.num_credits

           print "Your  total credits are :"+" "+str(TotalCredits)
