Write an address book program that stores your contacts' names and their email addresses. The names and email addresses are originally stored in a file called phonebook.in, in the format: Harry Potter t..d@hogwarts.edu Hermione Granger b..h@hogwarts.edu Ron Weasley r..b@hogwarts.edu Draco Malfoy m..s@hogwarts.edu Severus Snape h..e@hogwarts.edu Albus Dumbledore a..x@hogwarts.edu Your program should read from the file, storing the names and corresponding email addresses in a dictionary as key-value pairs. Then, the program should display a menu that lets the user enter the numbers 1 through 5, each corresponding to a different menu item: 1) look up an email address 2) add a new name and email address 3) change an email address 4) delete a name and email address 5) save address book and exit When the user enters 1, the program should prompt them for a name, and then print the corresponding email address. If there is no dictionary entry under that name, the program should print, "Sorry,…
Unix-based operating systems usually include a tool named tail. It displays the last 10 lines of a file whose name is provided as a command line argument. Write a Java program that provides the same behavior i.e. the user can specify how many lines to print from the terminal. Display an appropriate error message if the file requested by the user does not exist, or if the command line argument is omitted.
Note: Make sure to display the last n lines of a file whose name is provided as a command line argument. You might need to pass a file as an argument, therefore make sure to have access to a sample file, the contents of which you want to print out.
The Committee for Fairness to File Descriptors is organizing a protest against the UNIX system
because whenever the latter returns a file descriptor, it always returns the lowest number not
currently in use. Consequently, higher-numbered file descriptors are hardly ever used. Their plan
is to return the lowest number not yet used by the program rather than the lowest number
currently not in use. They claim that it is trivial to implement, will not affect existing programs,
and is fairer. What do you think?

- Task 3: Measure the Entropy of Kernel In the virtual world, it is difficult to create randomness, i.e., software alone is hard to create random numbers. Most systems resort to the physical world to gain the randomness. Linux gains the randomness from the following physical resources: void add_keyboard_randomness(unsigned char scancode); void add_mouse_randomness(__u32 mouse_data); void add_interrupt_randomness(int irq); void add_blkdev_randomness(int major); The first two are quite straightforward to understand: the first one uses the timing between key presses; the second one uses mouse movement and interrupt timing; the third one gathers random numbers using the interrupt timing. Of course, not all interrupts are good sources of randomness. For example, the timer interrupt is not a good choice, because it is predictable. However, disk interrupts are a better measure. The last one measures the finishing time of block device requests. The randomness is measured using entropy, which is…arrow_forwardWrite a bash program that takes in a word and a filename from the command line and print out the number of occurrences of the word in the file.
