Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Computer programs are written in high level languages. Every language has its own set of syntax and semantics.

Computer only understands instructions in machine language which is written using strings of 0 and 1.

Thus, for execution of a high level language program, it is mandatory to convert high level instructions into machine instructions.

This translation into machine language is done in two ways – compilation or interpretation.

Some languages are compiled while others are interpreted.

Both compilers and interpreters are programs and process the high level language program as needed.

Compiler

Any program written in high level language is compiled.

The program is first analyzed before compilation. This process takes time. The analysis phase is called pre processing.

The program compilation stops only when the program is completely analyzed. Hence, it is difficult to locate the error in the program. This makes debugging easy.

Debugging is defined as removal of errors in the programs.

A compiler is responsible for converting high level language code into machine level code.

The complete program undergoes compilation at the same time.

A compiled program executes faster than an interpreted program.

A compiled program produce machine code which is a collection of 0 and 1, hence, it takes less time to execute.

Examples of compiled languages are C and C++.

Interpreter

Some high level languages are interpreted.

The high level language code is translated into an intermediate level code. This intermediate code is then executed.

The analysis of the program takes less time and takes place before interpretation begins. The analysis phase is called pre processing.

An interpreted program is translated one line at a time.

The program interpretation stops when an error is encountered. This makes debugging easy.

Debugging is defined as removal of errors in the programs.

Examples of interpreted languages include Python and Ruby.

A large software development company employs 100 computer programmers. Of them, 45 areproficient in Java, 30 in C, 20 in Python,
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

18, 13, 19

Explanation:

Number of computer programmers proficient only in Java = 45 - ( 1+1+6) = 37

Number of computer programmers proficient only in C++ = 30 - (6+1+5) = 18

Number of computer programmers proficient only in python = 20 - ( 1+1+5) = 13

Number of computer programmers are not proficient in any of these three languages = 100 - ( 37 + 18 + 13 + 1+ 1+ 5+ 6 ) = 100 - 81 = 19

(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.

Complete function PrintPopcornTime(), with int parameter bagOunces, and void return type. If bagOunces is less than 3, print "To
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

<h2>Function 1:</h2>

#include <stdio.h> //for using input output functions

// start of the function PrintPopcornTime body having integer variable //bagOunces as parameter

void PrintPopcornTime(int bagOunces){

if (bagOunces < 3){ //if value of bagOunces is less than 3

 printf("Too small"); //displays Too small message in output

 printf("\n"); } //prints a new line

//the following else if part will execute when the above IF condition evaluates to //false and the value of bagOunces is greater than 10

else if (bagOunces > 10){

    printf("Too large"); //displays the message:  Too large in output

    printf("\n"); //prints a new line }

/*the following else  part will execute when the above If and else if conditions evaluate to false and the value of bagOunces is neither less than 3 nor greater than 10 */

else {

/* The following three commented statements can be used to store the value of bagOunces * 6 into result variable and then print statement to print the value of result. The other option is to use one print statement printf("%d",bagOunces * 6) instead */

    //int result;

    //result = bagOunces * 6;

    //printf("%d",result);

 printf("%d",bagOunces * 6);  /multiplies value of bagOunces  to 6

 printf(" seconds");

// seconds is followed with the value of bagOunces * 6

 printf("\n"); }} //prints a new line

int main(){ //start of main() function body

int userOunces; //declares integer variable userOunces

scanf("%d", &userOunces); //reads input value of userOunces

PrintPopcornTime(userOunces);

//calls PrintPopcornTime function passing the value in userOunces

return 0; }

Explanation:

<h2>Function 2:  </h2>

#include <stdio.h> //header file to use input output functions

// start of the function PrintShampooInstructions body having integer variable numCycles as parameter

void PrintShampooInstructions(int numCycles){

if(numCycles < 1){

//if conditions checks value of numCycles is less than 1 or not

printf("Too few."); //prints Too few in output if the above condition is true

printf("\n"); } //prints a new line

//else if part is executed when the if condition is false and else if  checks //value of numCycles is greater than 4 or not

else if(numCycles > 4){

//prints Too many in output if the above condition is true

printf("Too many.");

printf("\n"); } //prints a new line

//else part is executed when the if and else if conditions are false

else{

//prints "N: Lather and rinse." numCycles times, where N is the cycle //number, followed by Done

for(int N = 1; N <= numCycles; N++){

printf("%d",N);

printf(": Lather and rinse. \n");}

printf("Done.");

printf("\n");} }

int main() //start of the main() function body

{    int userCycles; //declares integer variable userCycles

   scanf("%d", &userCycles); //reads the input value into userCycles

   PrintShampooInstructions(userCycles);

//calls PrintShampooInstructions function passing the value in userCycles

   return 0;}

I will explain the for loop used in PrintShampooInstructions() function. The loop has a variableN  which is initialized to 1. The loop checks if the value of N is less than or equal to the value of numCycles. Lets say the value of numCycles = 2. So the condition evaluates to true as N<numCycles  which means 1<2. So the program control enters the body of loop. The loop body has following statements. printf("%d",N); prints the value of N followed by

printf(": Lather and rinse. \n"); which is followed by printf("Done.");

So at first iteration:

printf("%d",N); prints 1 as the value of N is 1

printf(": Lather and rinse. \n");  prints : Lather and rinse and prints a new line \n.

As a whole this line is printed on the screen:

1: Lather and rinse.

Then the value of N is incremented by 1. So N becomes 2 i.e. N = 2.

Now at second iteration:

The loop checks if the value of N is less than or equal to the value of numCycles. We know that the value of numCycles = 2. So the condition evaluates to true as N<numCycles  which means 2=2. So the program control enters the body of loop.

printf("Done."); prints Done after the above two lines.

printf("%d",N); prints 2 as the value of N is 2

printf(": Lather and rinse. \n");  prints : Lather and rinse and prints a new line \n.

As a whole this line is printed on the screen:

2: Lather and rinse.

Then the value of N is incremented by 1. So N becomes 2 i.e. N = 3.

The loop again checks if the value of N is less than or equal to the value of numCycles. We know that the value of numCycles = 2. So the condition evaluates to false as N<numCycles  which means 3>2. So the loop breaks.

Now the next statement is:

printf("Done."); which prints Done on the screen.

So as a whole the following output is displayed on the screen:

1: Lather and rinse.

2: Lather and rinse.

Done.

The programs along with their outputs are attached.
