<span>I agree with one small part, but disagree with the rest. A computer as hardware is a machine that can do what software tells it to. If the software is stored directly on the hardware and relatively immutable, they cal it firmware. If it is easily changed and updated they just call it software. If you remove that completely, yes, the hardware is difficult to use for more than door stops and paper weights. However, you do not need hardware to use software. Software is a concept. Software development can be abstracted from the hardware. Algorithmic thinking can be used for theory or applied to other topics that do not use computers. </span>

Suppose that you need to maintain a collection of data whose contents are fixed- i.e., you need to search for and retrieve exist
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Option a: a sorted array

Explanation:

Since the expectation on the data structure never need to add or delete items, a sorted array is the most desirable option. An array is known for its difficulty to modify the size (either by adding item or removing item). However, this disadvantage would no longer be a concern for this task. This is also the reason, linked list, binary search tree and queue is not a better option here although they offer much greater efficiency to add and remove item from collection.

On another hand,  any existing items from the sorted array can be easily retrieved using address indexing and therefore the data query process can be very fast and efficient.

Pick the correct statements regarding cell references.
shusha [124]

Statement two and three is correct.

Statement 1 is incorrect. A relative reference changes when a formula is copied to another cell while Absolute references remain constant. However, it is safe to say that an absolute address can be preceded by a $ sign before both the row and the column values. It is designated by the addition of a dollar sign either before the column reference, the row reference, or both. Statement C is also correct. A mixed reference is a combination of relative and absolute reference and the formula (= A1 + $B$2) is an example of a mixed cell reference.

insens350 [35]

The answers are;

highlights job roles and skills rather than positions

contains data relevant to the position for which you are applying

based on data obtained from a career portfolio

Skills and achievements in a functional resume are the focal points. This is the reason why a functional resume is also known as the skills-based resume. This resume is not commonly used. However, job seekers who are changing careers or have gaps in their employment history typically use a functional resume to emphasize their capabilities. On the contrast, a traditional chronological resume shows a timeline of reverse work experience with brief explanations of each job.

Which statement below correctly differentiates between frames and bits? Frames have more information in them than bits. Frames a
9966 [12]
<span>Frames have more information in them than bits.
</span>
<span>Frames are made up of bits but not vice versa.


A bit (BInary digiT) is the basic unit of digital. It can be 0 (logical false, off) or 1 (not logical false - true, on). Four bits are in a nybble, which can have a value of 0 - 15, eight bits are in a byte which can have a value of 0 - 255. Words vary in size, they consist of multiple bytes and are generally correlated with the system's data bus/processor data width (a 64 bit system has an 8 byte word).
