Explanation of Solution
Four Definitions of information:
- Data are facts or figures which are recorded and information is the knowledge derived from certain information.
- Information can be also defined as a data that is presented in a meaningful context.
- When the data is summarized, ordered, grouped, averaged or compared, it is referred as Information as knowledge can be extracted from it.
- Information can also be defined as a difference that makes a difference.
Favorite Definition:
- The most favorite definition of information is – “Information can be defined as a data that is presented in a meaningful context.
The above definition depicts the difference between data and information as both terms are mostly confused to be the same. Data on its own is irrelevant, when the data is grouped together it has a meaning, and this is called Information.
Difference between Data and Information:
| Data | Information |
| Data is the raw data that is not processed and analyzed... |

In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 8_ball_responses.txt. The file contains 12 responses, such as “I don’t think so”, “Yes, of course!”, “I’m not sure”, and so forth. The program should read the responses from the file into a list. It should prompt the user to ask a question, then display one of the responses, randomly selected from the list. The program should repeat until the user is ready to quit. Contents of 8_ball_responses.txt: Yes, of course! Without a doubt, yes. You can count on it. For sure! Ask me later. I'm not sure. I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you after my nap. No way! I don't think so. Without a doubt, no. The answer is clearly NO. (You can access the Computer Science Portal at www.pearsonhighered.com/gaddis.)arrow_forward
