Identify and correct the errors in each of the following statements. (Note: There may be more than one error per statement.)
(a)

To identify and correct the error in the following statement.
scanf(“%d”, value);
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
scanf(“d”, value);
Explanation:
Format specifier missing %d is used to take integer type value from the user. Missing percentage symbol % to be placed before the format specifier d.
Correct statement:
scanf(“%d”, value);
(b)

To identify and correct the error in the following statement.
printf(“The product of %d and %d is %d\n”,x,y);
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
printf(“The product of %d and %d is %d”\n,x,y);
Explanation:
The \n is escape sequence used to assign a new line. All the escape sequences used inside the double quotes (“”) of printf statement. Here, the escape sequence is out of the double quotes area. To correct this statement, make \n inside the double quotes area.
Correct statement:
printf(“The product of %d and %d is %d\n”,x,y);
(c)

To identify and correct the error in the following statement.
sumOfNumbers=firstNumber + secondNumber;
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
firstNumber + secondNumber = sumOfNumbers
Explanation:
The associativity of equals to (=) operator is right to left so that it will first calculate firstNumber + secondNumber, then assign this value in sumOfNumbers. Also, semicolon (;) missing at the end of the statement.
Correct statement:
sumOfNumbers = firstNumber + secondNumber;
(d)

To identify and correct the error in the following statement.
if(number >= largest)
largest=number;
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
if(number => largest)
largest==number;
Explanation:
The operator Greater then or equals to having a wrong syntax (=>), correct syntax should be (>=). Comparison operator is used instead of the assignment operator (=).
Correct statement:
if(number >= largest)
largest=number;
(e)

To identify and correct the error in the following statement.
/* Program to determine the largest of the integer */
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
*/ Program to determine the largest of the integer /*
Explanation:
Wrong syntax of multiline comment, the correct syntax should be: -
/* some-comment */
Correct statement:
/* Program to determine the largest of the integer */
(f)

To identify and correct the error in the following statement.
scanf(“%d”, &anInteger);
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Scanf(“%d”, anInteger);
Explanation:
The initial of Scanf keyword should be lowercase. The ampers and (&) required before anInteger.
Correct statement:
scanf(“%d”, &anInteger);
(g)

To identify and correct the error in the following statement.
printf(“Remainder of %d division by %d is %d\n”, x, y, x%y);
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
printf(“Remainder of %d division by %d is\n”, x, y, x%y);
Explanation:
Format %dspecifier needed to print the value of x%y.
Correct statement:
printf(“Remainder of %d division by %d is %d\n”, x, y, x%y);

- Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1). Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values.
