Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2.9, Problem 2.6ARQ
Explanation of Solution
Alternatives for processing office documents:
- Teams can access the office documents such as word, excel and PowerPoint using the gold standard of desktop applications which is Microsoft office.
- As it is expensive, many teams use other alternatives like LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice.
- Both of the applications are license-free and open source products.
- These applications have few features similar to Microsoft Office but these applications are robust for what they do and are adequate for several business and student groups.
Shared content with no control:
The two ways in which the contents are shared with no control is,
- Email, and
- File Server.
Email:
Email is the first and the oldest way to share the content.
- It may be accessed easily but has many problems like there is always a risk that the user does not notice whether the email has been received and it is present in the inbox, or does not save the attachments.
- It may also happen that three users receive the same document, change the contents without discussing it with each other, and upload the modified file then different incompatible versions of the document will be present.
File Server:
The other way is the file server, which is nothing but a system that stores documents or files.
- Other team members can download files if any of the team members has the access to the file server and uploads any file on the server.
- However, even this can have the issue because of no control.
- For example, if two of the team members downloaded the same file and modified the contents without the consent each other then while uploading the file, which was uploaded first, will be overwritten by the second version.
Difference between version management and version control:
| Version management | Version control |
| It is the process to keep a track of changes made to the documents and to provide functions and features to facilitate concurrent work. | Process takes place when there are limited collaboration tools and it sometimes directs the user activities... |

Scenario
You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement.
You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds.
The conversions are as follows:
1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces
1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds
1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms
1 pound = 16 ounces
1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms
1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds
For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…

The bad news is that the system must be installed by January 1st in order to meet new federal reporting rules, all expenses from now on must be approved in advance, the system should have a modular design if possible, and the vice president of finance would like to announce the new system in a year-end report if it is ready by mid-December."

Signed Integers Unsigned binary numbers work for natural numbers, but many calculations use negative numbers as well. To deal with this, a number of different methods have been used to represent signed numbers, but we will focus on two's complement, as it is the standard solution for representing signed integers. 2.1 Two's complement • Most significant bit has a negative value, all others are positive. So, the value of an n-digit -2 two's complement number can be written as: Σ2 2¹ di 2n-1 dn • Otherwise exactly the same as unsigned integers. i=0 - • A neat trick for flipping the sign of a two's complement number: flip all the bits (0 becomes 1, or 1 becomes 0) and then add 1 to the least significant bit. • Addition is exactly the same as with an unsigned number. 2.2 Exercises For questions 1-3, answer each one for the case of a two's complement number and an unsigned number, indicating if it cannot be answered with a specific representation. 1.
