Let P(n) be "a postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps if n is greater than 63".Basis step: P(64) is true since 64 cents postage can be formed with one 5-cent and one 17-cent stamp.Inductive step: Assume that P(n) is true, that is, postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps. We will show how to form postage of n + 1 cents. By the inductive hypothesis postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps. If this included a 17-cent stamp, replace this 17-cent stamp with two 5-cent stamps to obtain n + 1 cents postage. Otherwise, only 5-cent stamps were used and n  65. Hence there are at least three 5-cent stamps forming n cents. Remove three of these 5-cent stamps and replace them with two 17-cent stamps to obtain n + 1 cents postage.Hence P(n + 1) is true.

Mobile computing has two major characteristics that differentiate it from other forms of computing. What are these two character
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

mobility and broad reach  

Explanation:

The two major characteristics of mobile computing are:

Mobility: It basically refers to the portability. Mobility means that users can carry their mobile device wherever they go. This facilitates real-time communication with other devices. Users can take a mobile device anywhere and can contact with other devices and systems via a wireless network for example a user, wherever he happens to be, can log in to his email account to check his emails using his mobile phone.

Broad Reach: It basically means that the mobile device users can be reached at any time. This means that the users of an open mobile device can be instantaneously contacted. Having an open mobile device means that it can be reached by or connected to other mobile networks. However mobile users also have options to restrict specific messages or calls.

Write a program that defines a type for a structure that stores information on a student in ENG EK 125. Declare two variables to
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Following are the program in the C Programming Language.

#include<stdio.h> //header file

#include<string.h> //header file

struct student//creating structure

{

 //set integer variables

int marks;

int roll;

};

//define function

void initial(struct student *stu)

{

 //set integer type variables

int marks=420;

int roll_no=45,i;

stu->marks=marks;//assigning the values

stu->roll=roll_no;//assigning the values

}

//define main method to call the function

int main()

{

struct student stu;

initial(&stu);//calling the function

printf("Total marks : %d\n",stu.marks); //print output

printf("Roll No. : %d\n",stu.roll); //print output

return 0;

}

<u>Output:</u>

Total marks : 420

Roll No. : 45

Explanation:

Here, we define the structure "student" with a struct keyword for creating a structure.

  • inside the structure, we set two integer type variable "marks", "roll".

Then, we define a function "initial()" and pass an argument in the parameter of the function.

  • inside the function, we set two integer type variable "marks", "roll_no" and assign the value in the variable "marks" to 420 and variable "roll_no" to 45.
  • Assign the value in the structure's integer variables from the function's variable.

Finally, we set the main method inside it we call the function "initial()" and pass the value and then, we print the output with message.

What is retrieved from a search containing two terms separated<br> by the AND operator?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

A AND B= 1 or 0

1 1  1

0 1  0

1 0  0

0 0 0

So, as explained above if both are 1 we then only get 1, or else we get 0 always in case of AND which is a logical operator, whose output can be 0 or 1 only. This is being depicted above.

Explanation:

If both are 1 we get 1 or always else, we get the output =0.
