 The above XPath selects the quantity of the first item.

 Result of evaluating the following XPath expressions:

 a. /purse/coin[1]/value

 The above XPath is used to evaluate and determine the value of first coin given in the XML file.

 As per the tree view of the XML file, the value of the first coin is “0.5”.

 b. /purse/coin[2]/name

 The above XPath is used to evaluate and determine the name of the second coin given in the XML file.

 As per the tree view of the XML file, the name of the second coin is “quarter”...

Using the notation

you can select multipy options
For each of the following, decide whether the claim is True or False and select the True ones: Suppose we discover that the 3SAT can be solved in worst-case cubic time. Then it would mean that all problems in NP can also be solved in cubic time. If a problem can be solved using Dynamic Programming, then it is not NP-complete. Suppose X and Y are two NP-complete problems. Then, there must be a polynomial-time reduction from X to Y and also one from Y to X.
