You need to design a data storage scheme for Hayseed Heaven library data system. There are several hundred thousand large data r

ecords. You expect frequent insertions/deletions as well as frequent queries, involving multiple attributes. There is no requirement for printing the file in order. You may assume the initial file is available sorted. The queries are in real time and primarily occur on the ISBN number, title, and author fields. There are occasional queries on the publisher and subject fields of the record. You may make reasonable assumptions about hardware availability. The entire system is archived monthly. What do you propose and why

Answer:

Make use of hash tables

Explanation:

The appropriate thing to use for this should be a hash table.

A Hash Table can be described as a data structure which stores data in an associative manner. In a hash table, data is stored in an array format, where each data value has its own unique index value. Access of data becomes very fast if we know the index of the desired data. So we can perform Hashing on ISBN Number since its unique and based on the Hash Function w ecan store the Information record.

There is no requirement for printing the file in order - HashTables dont store the data in order of insertions, so no problems with that

It becomes a data structure in which insertion and search operations are very fast irrespective of the size of the data. So Querying books details can be fast and searching will take less time.

It can also be pointed out that it wont be too expensive for Hardware implemtation as HashTables stores data based on Hash Functions and memory consumption is also optimal which reduces memory wastages.

What best describes the purpose of the Recycle Bin (Microsoft Windows) and Trash (Apple Mac) features
alexandr1967 [171]
Its to delete the files from the computer that you no longer want. Once its put in the recycling bin it stays there, then when you empty it, its off your computer and there is no way you can get those files back. This can also free-up some space from your computer since mega and giga bites are being removed from your computer.

A computer’s memory is composed of 8K words of 32 bits each. How many bits are required for memory addressing if the smallest ad
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The minimum number of bits necessary to address 8K words is 13.

Explanation:

You have the number of words to address that is 8000 words, a word is the smallest addressable memory unit.  

8000 words can be addressed with 2^{n}  units. Now you have to find the value of n that approximates to the number of words.  

2^2=4\\2^4=16\\2^7=128\\2^{10}=1024\\2^{12}=4096\\2^{13}=8192

So you can see that 13 bits are needed to address 8K words.

Assign max_sum with the greater of num_a and num_b, PLUS the greater of num_y and num_z. Use just one statement. Hint: Call find
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

def find_max(num_1, num_2):

   max_val = 0.0

   if (num_1 > num_2): # if num1 is greater than num2,

       max_val = num_1 # then num1 is the maxVal.

   else: # Otherwise,

       max_val = num_2 # num2 is the maxVal

   return max_val

max_sum = 0.0

num_a = float(input())

num_b = float(input())

num_y = float(input())

num_z = float(input())

max_sum = find_max(num_a, num_b) + find_max(num_y, num_z)

print('max_sum is:', max_sum)

Explanation:

I added the missing part. Also, you forgot the put parentheses. I highlighted all.

To find the max_sum, you need to call the find_max twice and sum the result of these. In the first call, use the parameters num_a and num_b (This will give you greater among them). In the second call, use the parameters num_y and num_z (This will again give you greater among them)

Which of the following attributes of a website indicates a more reliable source for information?
scoundrel [369]
An attribute of a website that will indicate a more reliable source of information is when the site ends in ".edu". It is a top-level domain for education. It would mean that this particular site is linked to universities, colleges or other educational sites thus it gives more information that is real and factual.
