Answer:

For storing the data into a CD, we need to burn it. And the surface of the CD is comprised of the polycarbonate layer that is molded as the spiral tracks over the surface of the CD. And the Data is being stored as a sequence of minute grooves that are called the pits which are encoded on the spiral tracks. And the region in between the pits is known as lands.

The DVD or the digital video dos is based on the optical data storage which is almost the same as the CD. The analog data is transformed into the digital data, and this is encoded on the disc starting from the inside edge, and towards out. This digital information is being encoded into the surface as pits, and the surface acts as the recording layer. A DVD can hold data up to 4.77 to 8 GB.

Since DVD size is bigger than CD, A DVD drive can read CD, but the CD drive cannot read the DVD,

And unlike the above two, which make use of the red laser for reading and writing, the blu ray makes use of the blue laser. Also, it has the smaller pits, tiny beam as well as small track that together make it possible to store around 25 GB of data in one single blue ray disc. And this is five times more than the size of a DVD.  

The Blu ray Discs are good for playing the CD as well as DVD. However, the opposite is not possible due to the size.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

The correct answer to this question is an online decision support system. Because the decision support systems process the data, evaluate and predict the decision, and helps the decision-makers,  and offer real-time information immediately in making the decision in an organization. So the correct answer to this question is the decision supports system.

Why other options are not correct

Because the transaction processing system can only process the transaction and have not the capability to make the decision for the future. Office support processing system support office work, while the batch processing system process the task into the batch without user involvement.   however, online executive processing does not make decisions and offer timely information to decision-makers in an organization.

Assume the availability of class named IMath that provides a static method, toThePowerOf which accepts two int arguments and ret
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

cubeVolume = IMath.toThePowerOf(cubeSide, 3);

Explanation:

Following is the explanation for above statement:

Left side:

cubeVolume is a variable with data-type int, it will store the integer value that is the output from right side.

Right side:

  • IMath is the class name.
  • toThePowerOf is the built-in function that takes two arguments of data type int. First is the base and second is the power(exponent) separated by comma. In place of first argument that is the base variable we will pass the variable cubeSide that has been declared and initialize.
  • Now the output will be stored in the variable cubeVolume.

i hope it will help you!

. Create a text file that contains your expenses for last month in the following categories: • Rent • Gas • Food • Clothing • Ca
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

  1. from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
  2. with open("text.txt") as file:
  3.    data = file.readlines()
  4.    category = []
  5.    amount = []
  6.    for row in data:
  7.        values = row.split(" ")
  8.        category.append(values[0])
  9.        amount.append(float(values[1]))
  10.    
  11. figure = plt.figure()
  12. ax = figure.add_axes([0,0,1,1])
  13. ax.axis('equal')
  14. ax.pie(amount, labels = category, autopct='%1.2f%%')
  15. plt.show()

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to import matplotlib library (Line 1).

Next, open a file stream and use readlines method to read the data from the text file (Line 4). Presume the data read from the text files are as follows:

Rent 450

Gas 150

Food 500

Clothing 120

Car 600

Create two lists, category and amount (Line 5-6). Use a for loop to traverse through the read data and use split method to break each row of data into two individual items. The first item is added to category list whereas the second item is added to amount list (Line 7 - 10).

Next, create a plot figure and then add the axes (Line 12 - 13). We can use the pie method to generate a pie chart (Line 15) by setting the amount list as first argument and category list as value of labels attributes. The output pie chart can be found in the attachment.
