Explanation of Solution
Criteria used to judge all
There are various criteria to evaluate programming languages. Some of the main criteria include:
- Readability
- Writability, and
- Reliability
There can be some more criteria to evaluate programming languages. Now, discuss some more criterions.
- One such criterion is the programming community for any language. As we know that, the programming community can provide support for any problem one may counter during the use of that language.
- So if any language has large programming community, so naturally there will be better response to grievances of the prospective and practicing programmers.
- Also, the language with wider programming community, tend to get updates and fixes at regular intervals which makes sure the language gets developed as per the latest standards and needs...

- Simulate on a vertical time axis (with events labeled with the senders names A-D) the contention period of FOUR equally distanced Ethernet stations that all attempt to transmit at T=0 a minimally sized frame, in the style of the binary Exponential Backoff Algorithm. Assume that time is measured in slot times, and that exactly one slot time is needed to detect a collision (so that if two stations transmit at T=1 and collide, and one of them chooses a backoff time k=0, then that station will transmit again at T=2). Use as coin flip (source of randomness) an ID written in binary. use the bits in order from the least significant to the most significant. If for a given coin throw you need k bits, use the least significant ID bit extracted in the corresponding group of bits, as the least significant bit of the coin thrown.
