Explanation of Solution
“No”, it is neither ethical nor legal to broadcast the phone’s location to other parties or strangers without the consent of the consumer.
Introduction to GPS (Global Positional System):
The Global Positioning System termed as GPS, uses satellites to determine the current physical location.
It was originally created by the U.S. Department of Defense to improve military navigation. It is now available for consumer and used in cars, smartcards, handheld computers, and cell phones.
GPS helps to search a desired location for specific landmarks, such as restaurants and gas stations within a specific radius to current location. It also provides convenient turn-by-turn driving instructions to the destination.
Privacy invasion by smartphones due to location sharing:
This technology brings value to its users. However, it has caused a significant decrease in privacy. A combination of GPS data and cell tower triangulation can reveal the current location of smartphone.
According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, “Location information collected by cellphone companies can provide an extraordinarily invasive glimpse into the private lives of cellphone users.”
Mobile phone companies have the ability to exploit the information and get an extraordinary insight into the private lives of their mobile customers. Some companies sell this information to other companies with an interest to get personal data, choices and buying patterns.
Unwanted tracing and sharing personal location can lead to fraud, hindrance in social life and several other security concerns for famous personalities and others.
Hackers can break into servers and steal usernames, email addresses, phone numbers and hashed passwords of authorized lawmakers, investigation agents or secure information of national advisors and users.
Mobiles numbers, credit card details, and email addresses can be compromised along with shared location because the companies gather all the data along with location.
Criminal and miscreants can get vital information of users and can abuse the person, mentally and financially. The life of users can also be at stake if data gets leaked to terrorist organizations.

Change the following code so that there is always at least one way to get from the left corner to the top right, but the labyrinth is still randomized.
The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. Take care that the player and the dragon cannot start off on walls. Also the dragon starts off from a randomly chosen position
public class Labyrinth { private final int size; private final Cell[][] grid;

Change the following code so that it checks the following 3 conditions:
1. there is no space between each cells (imgs)
2. even if it is resized, the components wouldn't disappear
3. The GameGUI JPanel takes all the JFrame space, so that there shouldn't be extra space appearing in the frame other than the game.
Main():
Labyrinth labyrinth = new Labyrinth(10);
Player player = new Player(9, 0); Dragon dragon = new Dragon(9, 9);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Labyrinth Game"); GameGUI gui = new GameGUI(labyrinth, player, dragon);

- Make the following game user friendly with GUI, with some simple graphics. The GUI should be in another seperate class, with some ImageIcon, and Game class should be added into the pane. The following code works as this: The objective of the player is to escape from this labyrinth. The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. The player can move only in four directions: left, right, up or down. There are several escape paths in all labyrinths. The player’s character should be able to moved with the well known WASD keyboard buttons. If the dragon gets to a neighboring field of the player, then the player dies. Because it is dark in the labyrinth, the player can see only the neighboring fields at a distance of 3 units.

- In this assignment, you will implement a multi-threaded program (using C/C++) that will check for Prime Numbers and Palindrome Numbers in a range of numbers. Palindrome numbers are numbers that their decimal representation can be read from left to right and from right to left (e.g. 12321, 5995, 1234321). The program will create T worker threads to check for prime and palindrome numbers in the given range (T will be passed to the program with the Linux command line). Each of the threads works on a part of the numbers within the range. Your program should have some global shared variables: • numOfPrimes: which will track the total number of prime numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindroms: which will track the total number of palindrome numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindromic Primes: which will count the numbers that are BOTH prime and palindrome found by all threads. TotalNums: which will count all the processed numbers in the range. In addition, you need to have arrays…arrow_forwardHow do you distinguish between hardware and a software problem?
