The default behavior for Connector/Python is to use __________ results.

a

buffered

b

unbuffered

c

uninitialized

d

Answers

Answer: (C) Uninitialized

Explanation:

 The default behavior is basically used as the uninitialized result for the connector and python. As a matter of course, MySQL Connector/Python doesn't cradle or pre-fetch results. This implies after a question is executed, your program is in charge of bringing the information.

This stays away from unnecessary memory use when inquiries return huge outcome sets. On the off chance that you realize that the outcome set is little enough to deal with at the same time, you can get the outcomes promptly by setting supported as "TRUE".

How many bytes are there in 256 Kbytes?

Answers

Answer:

256000 bytes.

Explanation:

One Kilo byte(KB) consists of 1000 bytes.So the number of bytes in 256 kilo bytes is :-

1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes.    

256 kilo bytes = 256 x 1000 bytes.  

256 kilo bytes = 256000 bytes.  

Also 1 bytes consists of 8 bits.

1 kb = 1000 bytes.

1GB Giga byte = 1024 kilo bytes.

1 TB Tera Byte = 1024 Giga Bytes (GB).  

Hence the answer to this question is  256,000 bytes.

What is the Java source filename extension? What is the Java bytecode filename extension?

Answers

Answer:

The extension of java source filename is .java and the extension of bytecode filename is .class

Explanation:

The java program is saved with the classname along with .java extension. The .java extension indicated that the particular file in java file.

Suppose we have a program  

public class Main1

{

public static void main(String[] args) {

 System.out.println("Hello:");

}

}

This program is saved as :Main1.java

To compile this program in command prompt we use javac Main1.java.

On compiling the java program it will be converted into byte code which has extension .class filename extension. So on compile, this program will be converted into Main1.class

True
False

Answers

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Business competition is no longer limited to a particular country or even a region of the world:___, would be: True.

Explanation:

Globalization has changed the way that all aspects of human life, and human activities develop. Globalization has meant the erasing of limitations that were placed primarily on trade and economic activities, but it also extended to other aspects of life. Because of technology advancements, especially in communications, connectivity, and travelling, the world is now easily connected and limitations are only placed up to a certain level. Thus, and especially economically, business competition has become a global issue too, with now more and more presence of multinational businesses, companies that extend not necessarily to one country, or even one region of the world, but extend to any region that will allow them to enter for business exchanges.

__________ use a challenge response mechanism in which a server challenges a user with a number, which a user must then enter into a device to calculate the response number.

Answers

Answer: Authentication

Explanation:

 Authentication is the mechanism of the challenge response in which it basically allow the server to challenge the user with the number without revealing any password.

Then the user must enter that particular password to enter into the device for calculating the particular response number. Then it basically compute the given response by apply hash function in the server challenge that combine the users password.  

Final answer:

Two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens or one-time password (OTP) tokens use a challenge response mechanism to enhance security in multi-factor authentication systems. A server sends a challenge number to the user, who then inputs it into a device that calculates a response using a secret key and algorithm. This system provides added security beyond traditional login credentials.

Explanation:

Devices that use a challenge response mechanism where the server challenges a user with a number, and the user must then enter this number into a device to calculate a response number, are known as two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens or one-time password (OTP) tokens.

These tokens are often used in multi-factor authentication systems, providing an extra layer of security beyond just a username and password. When a user attempts to log in, the server sends a unique challenge, such as a nonce or a time-based number. The user enters this challenge into their 2FA or OTP device, which then uses a pre-shared secret key and an algorithm to generate a response. The user enters this response back into the system to authenticate.

Examples of such devices include hardware tokens, like RSA SecurID, which display a number that changes periodically and must be entered during login, and software tokens, which run on smartphones or other devices using apps like Authy.

Write a C++ program that will convert distance measurements from miles to kilometers. Specifically, the program needs to convert 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 , 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 miles to kilograms displaying both the number of miles and the number of kilograms on the same line.

Answers

Answer:

// here is code in C++.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

// main function

int main()

{

// loop that will convert 0,10,20.....90 miles to kilometer

   for(int a=0;a<=90;a=a+10)

   {

   // convert miles to kilometer

       double kilo_m=a*1.609;

       // print the result

       cout<<a<<" miles is equal to "<<kilo_m<<" kilometer."<<endl;

   }

}

Explanation:

Run a for loop from 0 to 90.First change 0 miles to kilograms by multiply 1.609. Then Increment "a" by 10 until it "a" is less or equal to 90.And change them into kilometer.

Output:

0 miles is equal to 0 kilometer.

10 miles is equal to 16.09 kilometer.

20 miles is equal to 32.18 kilometer.

30 miles is equal to 48.27 kilometer.

In a typical configuration the total RAM capacity is less than total ROM capacity.

True

False

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The difference between RAM and RAM is as follows

(1) RAM (random access memory) is meant for temporary storage whereas ROM (read-only memory) is meant for permanent storage.

(2) RAM chip is volatile, means once the power is turned off, it loses the previously holding information, where as ROM is non-volatile it doesn't losses any information even though power is turned off.

(3) RAM chip is used in the normal operations of the computer, whereas the ROM chip is used mainly for the startup process of computer.

(4) Generally, A RAM can store several gigabytes (GB) of data that is up to 16 GB whereas a ROM chip can typically store that much data. It only stores several megabytes (MB) of data that is up to 4 MB.

hence, the given statement about RAM is false.
