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.

(Displaying a Sentence with Its Words Reversed) Write an application that inputs a line of text, tokenizes the line with String
Serjik [45]

Answer:

I am writing a JAVA and Python program. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language.

import java.util.Scanner; // class for taking input from user

public class Reverse{ //class to reverse a sentence

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

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); //create a Scanner class object

   System.out.print("Enter a sentence: "); //prompts user to enter a sentence

   String sentence = input.nextLine(); // scans and reads input sentence

   String[] tokens = sentence.split(" "); // split the sentence into tokens using split() method and a space as delimiter

   for (int i = tokens.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { //loop that iterates through the tokens of the sentence in reverse order

       System.out.println(tokens[i]); } } } // print the sentence tokens in reverse order

Explanation:

In JAVA program the user is asked to input a sentence. The sentence is then broken into tokens using split() method. split method returns an array of strings after splitting or breaking the sentence based on the delimiter. Here the delimiter used is space characters. So split() method splits the sentence into tokens based on the space as delimiter to separate the words in the sentence. Next the for loop is used to iterate through the tokens as following:

Suppose the input sentence is "How are you"

After split() method it becomes:

How

are

you

Next the loop has a variable i which initialized to the tokens.length-1. This loop will continue to execute till the value of i remains greater than or equals to 0.

for (int i = tokens.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)

The length of first token i.e you is 3 so the loop executes and prints the word you.

Then at next iteration the value of i is decremented by 1 and now it points at the token are and prints the word are

Next iteration the value of i is again decremented by i and it prints the word How.

This can be achieved in Python as:

def reverse(sentence):

   rev_tokens = ' '.join(reversed(sentence.split(' ')))

   return rev_tokens

   

line = input("enter a sentence: ")

print((reverse(line)))

The method reverse takes a sentence as parameter. Then rev_tokens = ' '.join(reversed(sentence.split(' ')))  statement first splits the sentence into array of words/tokens using space as a delimiter. Next reversed() method returns the reversed sentence.  Next the join() method join the reversed words of the sentence using a space separator ' '.join(). If you want to represent the reversed tokens each in a separate line then change the above statement as follows:

rev_tokens = '\n'.join(reversed(sentence.split(' ')))  

Here the join method joins the reversed words separating them with a new line.

Simply input a line of text and call this reverse() method by passing the input line to it.
