The above statement is used to display the first character of the string “str”.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Character by character text processing:

  • Strings can be accessed or manipulated by using an individual text that is present.
  • Different programming language access the string individually in a different way, some prefer the string gets accessed through subscript notation.
  • String is considered as list of characters.

Accessing string using subscript notation:

  • The string that are accessed using the subscript notation uses subscript “0” to hold the first character and similarly till the last character.
  • The first value the index value will be “0” and to find the last character use “length(variable)-1”.

Example:

//declare and define a string

Declare String txt = "Hai"

Explanation:

In the above declaration, the given string  gets processed in the following way:

txt[0] will hold “H”.

txt[1] will hold “a”.

txt[2] will hold “i”.

Explanation for the incorrect answer:

Display str[1]:

The above statement is used to display the second character of the “str” string.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Display str[first]:

The above statement is used to display the character present at the value of “first” , ”,(that is the value that variable last holds ) of the “str” string.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Display str:

The above statement is used to display the entire content of the string “str”.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

You are working with a database table that contains customer data. The table includes columns about customer location such as city, state, and country. You want to retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name. You decide to use the SUBSTR function to retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name, and use the AS command to store the result in a new column called new_country.  You write the SQL query below. Add a statement to your SQL query that will retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name and store the result in a new column as new_country.
We are considering the RSA encryption scheme. The involved numbers are small, so the communication is insecure.  Alice's public key (n,public_key) is (247,7). A code breaker manages to factories  247 = 13 x 19  Determine Alice's secret key. To solve the problem, you need not use the extended Euclid algorithm, but you may assume that her private key is one of the following numbers 31,35,55,59,77,89.
Consider the following Turing Machine (TM). Does the TM halt if it begins on the empty tape? If it halts, after how many steps? Does the TM halt if it begins on a tape that contains a single letter A followed by blanks? Justify your answer.
