Textbook Question
Chapter 2.3, Problem 9E
(Practice) Although the total number of bytes varies from computer to computer, memory sizes of millions and billions of bytes are common. In computer language, the letter M representsthe number 1,048,576, which is 2 raised to the 20th power, and G represents 1,073,741,824, which is 2 raised to the 30th power. Therefore, a memory size of 4 MB is really 4 times 1,048,576 (4,194,304 bytes), and a memory size of 2 GB is really 2 times 1,073,741,824 (2,147,483,648 bytes). Using this information, calculate the actual number of bytes in the following:
a. A memory containing 512 MB
b. A memory consisting of 512 MB words, where each word consists of 2 bytes
c. A memory consisting of 512 MB words, where each word consists of 4 bytes
d. A thumb drive that specifies 2 GB
e. A disk that specifies 4 GB
f. A disk that specifies 8 GB

Question:22
Assume Program X and Program Y run in different processes. At some time point, the two programs need to exchange data with each other.
A. Can the data exchange be made as efficient as if the two programs were run by different threads in the same process? If so, explain how this can be done. If not, please describe the technical issues.
B. If Y needs to wait for X, explain how this can be achieved with a semaphore.
[Peter Sorger’s] bioengineering lab produces a terabyte of data in a typical month.
(a) At what rate in bytes per minute is the lab producing data? Write your answer with the appropriate metric prefix and the appropriate level of precision.
(b) If the lab has been producing data from the time the article appeared to the present, how much has accumulated now? (c) When will a petabyte of data have accumulated? Do you believe your prediction?
(d) When will an exabyte of data have accumulated?
Will make sure to rate!
Thank you!

This will be the hardest mission of your life. Our intelligence department has caught the enemy sending codes from one base to another. These enemy codes can either be a simple communication message or a mastermind plan. Our intelligence department has determined that a mastermind plan is a code that has at least 1 consonant character. Since you know programming, your task is to check a code if it is a mastermind plan or not. Instructions: In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for a code. Furthermore, there is a call to the function, hasConsonant().Your task is to declare and define this hasConsonant() function which has the following details:Return type - intName - hasConsonantParameter:char* - to hold the character arrayReturn value - 1 if there is at least 1 consonant and 0 if there is none.
