Explanation:
The difference between a class and an object is very simple a class is a template for objects.A class contains objects,methods,constructors,destructors. While an object is a member of the class or an instance of the class. for ex:-
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class car
{
public:
string color;
int numgears;
int engine capacity_cc;
bool ispetrol;
car(string color,int numgears,int engine capacity_cc,bool ispetrol)
{
this->color=color;
this->numgears=numgears;
this->capacity_cc=capacity_cc;
this->ispetrol=ispetrol;
}
};
int main()
{
car volvo = new car("red",6,2500,false);
return 0;
}
In the example we have class car and it's object is volvo.
Final answer:
In object-oriented programming, a class is a blueprint for creating objects that share similar properties and behaviors. An object, on the other hand, is an instance or a specific occurrence of that class. It represents a real-world entity and holds the values for the attributes defined in the class.
Explanation:
In object-oriented programming, a class is a blueprint for creating objects (instances) that share similar properties and behaviors. It defines the attributes (data) and methods (functions) that objects of that class will have. A class is like a template or a cookie cutter, while an object is an instance or a specific occurrence of that class. It represents a real-world entity and holds the values for the attributes defined in the class.
Let's take a car as an example. The class for a car would define its properties, such as color, brand, and year, as well as its behaviors, such as accelerating, braking, and turning. An object of this car class would be a specific car, like a red Toyota Camry from 2020, which has its unique values for the properties defined in the class.
Using Karnaugh maps, simplify the following Boolean function:
F(a,b,c,d) = a' b' c' + b' c d' + a' b c d' + a b' c'
Answer:
F(a,b,c,d)=b'c' + a'cd' + ab'd'.
Explanation:
The image of the corresponding k-map is attached to this answer please refer it.By the sop given in the question the k-map is formed.There are 3 groups formed 1 group of four 1's and 2 groups of 2 1's.Hence there are three sop and the sop is reduced from the previous SOP.
If (41)r = (21)10, determine the value of the radix r.
Answer:
r=5.
Explanation:
Since we know we can convert a a number with any base to base ten(10) by multiplying the corresponding powers of the base.Stating form the LSB(Least Significant Bit) and with the power 0 and the power will increase by 1 as we move to MSB(Most Significant Bit).
[tex]4*r^1+1*r^0 = 21[/tex]
[tex]4r = 21 -1[/tex]
[tex]4r=20[/tex]
[tex]r=5[/tex]
For a class Foo, one difference between a variable declared Foo * and a variable declared Foo & is that only the variable declared Foo & can potentially have the value NULL.
Select one:
a. FALSE
b. TRUE
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
When we declare a variable as reference type we have to initialize that variable otherwise the compiler will give error that the reference variable is not initialized.You also cannot initialize the variable Foo& with NULL value because it is a reference variable and we have to initialize it.
On the other there is no need to initialize the variable Foo * since it is a pointer it can also store NULL value.
So the answer is only Foo* can store NULL value not Foo &.
The World Wide Web (not the Internet) went live in this decade:
Select one:
a. 1960s
b. 1970s
c. 1980s
d. 1990s
Answer:
d. 1990s
Explanation:
The World Wide Web is a kind of friendly information system that uses hypertext, and since its creation has made Internet available for most people.
The Internet already existed quite before the World Wide Web: the first computer network was ARPANET (created in 1969), a project of the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the United States Department of Defense.
Further developments in computers' protocols (ways in which computers communicate with each other) resulted in a network of networks, or the Internet, in 1983.
Although the World Wide Web was a proposal first published on March 12, 1989, by Tim Berners-Lee of the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) --this is why it is considered that the World Wide Web was created in 1989-- the idea came into life at the end of the year 1990, for the following reasons:
After that proposal of 1989, Berners-Lee wrote another on May 1990, and in September 1990 he received support to develop those ideas.Some of the essential technologies needed to create the World Wide Web were already available by October 1990, that is, the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), the HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and the URI (Universal Resource Identifier), all considered been developed by Berners-Lee.On November 12, 1990, with the Belgian engineer Robert Cailliau, who was working in similar ideas, wrote a more formal proposal of such a system to share information across the CERN where they mentioned: "build a Hypertext project called WorldWideWeb" [Wikipedia, 2019].Well, by the end of December 1990, in a NeXT computer, and after the creation of the first web server and the first web page browser, the first web site, running at CERN, appeared on December 20, 1990.
This idea was rapidly adopted outside the CERN in 1991 and, by the end of the 1990s, more than 130 million people could access the Internet using the World Wide Web technology.
In conclusion, the World Wide Web went live in the decade of 1990s: was a project, a proposal by the end of 1989 and started to work as a fast-adopted technology at the beginning, and throughout, the 1990s.

What is a URI (include example)
Answer:
URI is the uniform resource identifier and it is basically a sequence of the character which identify the physical and logical resources. The uniform resource identifier basically contain the predefined set of rules and syntax and also maintain the extensibility hierarchical schema.
There are basically two types of URI that are:
1) Uniform Resource Name (URN)
2) Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
For example: HTTP protocol , file transfer protocol (FTP).
. Write the C++ code that reads an integer from the user, and then computes that integer's absolute value.
Answer:
Following are the program in C++
#include <iostream>// header file
using namespace std;
int main() // main function
{
int num; // variable declarartion
cout<<" Enter the number:";
cin>>num; // user input
num=abs(num); // finding the absolute
cout<<num; // display number
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter the number:-90
90
Explanation:
In this program we have declared a variable "num" of type int. After that we find the absolute value by using abs function and finally display the variable "num".
Write a program that reads a string from the keyboard and tests whether it contains a valid date. Display the date and a message that indicates whether it is valid. If it is not valid, also display a message explaining why it is not valid. The input date will have the format mm/dd/yyyy. A valid month value mm must be from 1 to 12 (January is 1). The day value dd must be from 1 to a value that is appropriate for the given month. September, April, June, and November each have 30 days. February has 28 days except for leap years when it has 29. The remaining months all have 31 days each. A leap year is any year that is divisible by 4 but not divisible by 100 unless it is also divisible by 400.
Answer:
// here is code in java.
import java.util.*;
// class definition
public class Main {
// main method of the class
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Scanner object to read date
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a date in format mm/dd/yyyy to check:");
// read the date from user
String inp_date = in .next();
// split the date with "/" delimeter
String[] ip = inp_date.split("/");
// find month from date
int inp_month = Integer.parseInt(ip[0]);
// find day from date
int inp_day = Integer.parseInt(ip[1]);
// find year from date
int inp_year = Integer.parseInt(ip[2]);
// boolean variable
boolean flag = true;
// print the input date
System.out.println("Your Entered date was: " + inp_date);
// check month is valid or not
if (inp_month < 1 || inp_month > 12)
{
System.out.println("Entered Date is invalid:");
System.out.println("The input month is not from 1 - 12.");
flag = false;
}
//check day is valid or not
else if (inp_day < 1) {
System.out.println("Entered Date is invalid:");
System.out.println("The value of day is less than 1.");
flag = false;
}
// check days in those month which has 30 days
else if ((inp_month == 4 || inp_month == 6 || inp_month == 9 || inp_month == 11) && inp_day > 30) {
System.out.println("Entered Date is invalid::");
System.out.println("This month have only 30 days, but Entered day is greater than 30.");
flag = false;
}
// if month is February then check leap year and days
else if (inp_month == 2 && ((inp_year % 4 == 0) && (inp_year % 100 != 0))) {
if (inp_day > 29) {
System.out.println("Entered Date is invalid::");
System.out.println("In a leap year, only 29 days in February.");
flag = false;
}
}
// if month is February and year is non-leap
else if (inp_month == 2 && inp_day > 28) {
System.out.println("Entered Date is invalid:");
System.out.println("In a non-leap year, only 28 days in February.");
flag = false;
}
// if all are valid
if (flag)
System.out.println("Entered Date is valid:");
}
}
Explanation:
Read the date from user in mm/dd/yyyy format with the help of Scanner object. Extract day, month and year from the date. Then check whether month is between 1-12 or not and print appropriate message. After that check day is less than 1 or not, if not then print reason. Check the days in those month which has 30 days in it.If month is February then check for leap year and day is greater than 29 then print reason. Else if month is February and year is non-leap then check days whether it is greater than 28 or not. In last If value of flag is true then print date is valid.
Output:
Enter a date in format mm/dd/yyyy to check:2/30/2012
Your Entered date was: 2/30/2012
Entered Date is invalid::
In a leap year, only 29 days in February.

Broadly speaking, how is testing in an object-oriented approach different to testing in traditional software development?
Answer:
In object oriented programming methodology, the attention is that capture the main structure and conduct of data frameworks into little modules that joins the two information and procedure.
The main principle of Object Oriented Design (OOD) is that it helps in improve the quality and efficiency of framework analysis and configuration by make the system more progressively usable.
The software Programming testing is a significant period of the product advancement cycle of the life. Testing is the way toward executing the main structure of the program with the help of main objective and also discovering mistakes.
In today world the situation of the object oriented ideas are utilized all through programming designing. Testing of item arranged programming is unique in relation to testing with the traditional programming.
What is the Matlab command to create a column vector with 11 equally spaced elements, whose first element is 2 and whose last is 32.
Answer:
transpose(linspace(2,32,11))
Explanation:
To get the equally spaced elements you can use:
linspace is the command for generating a linearly spaced vector.
For instance, the command:
linspace(element1,element2,n)
generates n points, between element1 and element2
The spacing between the points is calculated by
[tex]\frac{element2-element1}{n-1}[/tex]
In your case, the linspace command will create a vector with 1 row and 11 columns (1x11).
To get the column vector:
In order to convert this vector into one with 11 rows and 1 column (11x1), you can use:
tanspose(vector)
where vector is linspace(element1,element2,n)
Enumerations can contain ___________ values.
a.only unique
b.an indefinite number of
c.up to 10
d.up to 100
Answer: (A) Only unique
Explanation:
Enumeration basically contain only unique value as enumeration is define as the set of the numeric values that is finite and it is represent specifically by the identifiers which is known as the enumeration constant.
It only work with the finite values and also hide all the un-relevant and unnecessary information from the programmers. Enumeration is the type of the data type variable which contain only previous declared values.

Create a program that will calculate the weekly average tax withholding for a customer, given the following weekly income guidelines: Income less than $500: tax rate 10% Incomes greater than/equal to $500 and less than $1500: tax rate 15% Incomes greater than/equal to $1500 and less than $2500: tax rate 20% Incomes greater than/equal to $2500: tax rate 30% Store the income brackets and rates in a dictionary. Write a statement that prompts the user for an income and then looks up the tax rate from the dictionary and prints the income, tax rate, and tax.
Answer:
#here is code in python
# create a dictionary of tax rate based on the income
tax = {499 : '10%', 1499 : '15%', 2499 : '20%', 2500 : '30%'}
#read the weekly income from user
week_income = int(input("Enter income: "))
#if weekly income is less than 500
if(week_income<500):
print("Income is : ",week_income)
print("Tax rate is : ",tax[499])
print("Tax on income is : ",week_income*0.1)
# if income is greater or equal 500 and less than 1500
elif(week_income<1500):
print("Income is : ",week_income)
print("Tax rate is : ",tax[1499])
print("Tax on income is : ",week_income*0.15)
# if income is greater or equal 1500 and less than 1500
elif(week_income<2500):
print("Income is : ",week_income)
print("Tax rate is : ",tax[2499])
print("Tax on income is : ",week_income*0.20)
# if income is greater 2500
else:
print("Income is : ",week_income)
print("Tax rate is : ",tax[2500])
print("Tax on income is : ",week_income*0.30)
Explanation:
Create a dictionary, in which tax are stored as per the weekly income.For income less than 500 tax will be 10%,for greater or equal 500 and less than 1500 tax will be 15%, for greater or equal 1500 and less than 2500 tax will be 20% and greater than 2500 tax will be 30% . Read the weekly income from user and then display the income, tax rate and tax on income according to the weekly Income.
Output:
Enter income :1200
Income is : 1200
Tax rate is : 15%
Tax on income is : 180.0

how can i take out a random (double) number in between 5.0 to 15.0 in c++?
Answer:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
srand(time(0));
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
double f = (double)rand() / RAND_MAX;//generating random numbers.
double a= 5.0 + f * (15.0 - 5.0);//random numbers in range provided.
cout<<a<<" ";
}
return 0;
}
Explanation:
The above program generate five random numbers in the range 5.0 to 15.0.The function rand() is used to generate random numbers.First we have to call srand(time(0)) otherwise the rand() function will generate same random numbers over and over every time.
. Write an if/else statement that assign "Excellent" to variable comments (a string data type) when score is 90 or higher, "Good" when score is between 80 and 89, and "Try Harder" when score is less than 80.
Answer:
Following are the program in c++
if(score>= 90)
// check if score 90 or higher
{
comments = "Excellent"; // initialize comments to excellent
}
else if(score<90 && score >= 80)
// check if when score is between 80 and 89
{
comments = "Good"; //initialize comments to good
}
else
//when score is less than 80.
{
comments = "Try Harder"; //initialize comments to try harder
}
Explanation:
Following are the program in c++ language
#include<iostream> // header file
using namespace std; // namespace
int main() // main function
{
string comments; // variable
int score; // variable declaration
cout<<" enter score ";
cin>>score;
if(score>= 90)
{
comments = "Excellent"; // initialize comments to execellent
}
else if(score<90 && score >= 80)
{
comments = "Good"; //initialize comments to good
}
else
{
comments = "Try Harder"; //initialize comments to try harder
}
cout<<comments;
return(0);
}
Output:
enter score
45
Try Harder
In this we check the condition
if score>= 90 then it store the Excellent in variable comments of type string
if(score<90 && score >= 80)
it store the Good in variable comments of type string.
otherwise it store harder in variable comments of type string.

.Statements using the ___________ class are explicit conversions.
a.Explicit
b.Convert
c.ExplicitConvert
d.ConvertType
Answer: Explicit
Explanation:
The statement which used the explicit class are the explicit conversion, as it is type of the conversion which uses the conversion keyword. These type of the keywords act as a function in the explicit conversion and compiler generating the code in the given inline function.
Explicit conversion basically require the cast operator in its function when, the information is lost during explicit conversion.
Conversion of base class into the derives class is one of the typical example of the explicit conversion.
While there are a lot of programming languages out there, one of the most widely used when it comes to web applications and web oriented products is Javascript. It differs from other 'standard' program languages in many ways. Using the Internet and/or your book as a resource, describe some of the differences between JavaScript and other programming languages like C++, C#, and Java?
Explanation:
The main differences between Javascript and other programming languages are as following :-
Javascript is a scripting language so it doesn't need to be compiled to get executed while other programming languages like C++,Java etc need to be compiled.Javascript is typed dynamically while other languages are static typed.Browsers can execute Javascript code on the other hand they can't execute Java,C++ etc.What is the efficiency (Big O Notation) of quicksort algorithm?
Answer:
O(NlogN)
Explanation:
The time complexity of quick sort in worst case is O(N²) but the average case time complexity of quick sort is O(NLogN).The efficiency of quick sort totally depends upon the pivot.If the pivot is the smallest or the largest element in the array every time then the time complexity of quick sort algorithm will come out to be O(N²).
In what respects does a UML state diagram differ from a state transition diagram?
Answer: The difference between the UML state diagram and state transition diagram are as follow:-
State-transition diagrams display the states of the object where the change takes place whereas the UML(Unified modeling language) state diagrams are representation of parts of system at certain time instance. State-transition diagram requires the condition to be accomplished before the transition happens whereas the dynamic behavior of the states are expressed by transitions in UML state diagrams.Wi-Fi is all around us. Is there any downside to its pervasiveness?
Answer:
Wi-Fi(Wireless fidelity) is the networking technology that helps in providing the internet connectivity to the users. The Wi-Fi is all around the surrounding due to several Wi-Fi connections the users demand and use. It creates the networking environment where internet access becomes easy.
There are drawback to Wi-Fi service range that covers a large area is the high number of users.The addition of many users slow down the data rate and accessing .The radiation from this service is also a negative side of the Wi-Fi pervasiveness.
Final answer:
The downsides to the pervasiveness of Wi-Fi include the digital divide, security risks, and the psychological impact of being constantly connected. To mitigate these issues, digital literacy, cybersecurity, and healthy digital habits are crucial.
Explanation:
Wi-Fi's pervasiveness indeed comes with downsides alongside the immense benefits it provides in terms of connectivity and access to information. One major concern is the digital divide, a gap that is widening between those who have access to technology and those who do not, both locally and globally. This phenomenon can lead to disparities in access to information and inequalities in educational and economic opportunities.
Another significant concern is security risks. With Wi-Fi networks, there is the potential for eavesdropping and unauthorized access to communications, raising issues of privacy and data protection. As we further integrate Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies into critical infrastructure and personal devices, the risk for systemic failures and technological vulnerabilities increases, which could have severe consequences in the event of natural disasters or targeted attacks.
