Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 4, Problem 13RQ
Explanation of Solution
The reason named constants are used:
The lexical analyzers collect the characters of the input string and group them into logical groups according to the pattern matching rules. These logical groupings are called as lexemes.
Lexical analyzer assigns some internal (numeric) codes to the lexemes (logical groupings) according to their structure. Instead of assigning numeric codes, named constants are used for token codes due to the following reasons:
- Gives better readability to the code...

- Return the Remainder from Two Numbers Language: Java Script There is a single operator in JavaScript, capable of providing the remainder of a division operation. Two numbers are passed as parameters. The first parameter divided by the second parameter will have a remainder, possibly zero. Return that value.

- Building Arena models: A few years ago, I was in a group involved with building industrial facilities. A team of consultants visited us to make a presentation about improving the building process. They had a demonstration in the form of a game. We were divided into two teams of four and sat four in a row at a table. Person 1 was given 100 poker chips. The game process was Person 1 would roll a single die. Whatever the number was, he or she would pass that number of chips to Person 2. Person 2 would roll the die, and • If the number of the roll is less than or equal to the chips in front of Person 2, the number of the die roll is passed to the next person. Any remaining chips stay in place, to be passed on another turn when possible.• If the roll on the die is greater than the number of the chips in front of Person 2, all the chips are passed, but the difference in what could be passed is lost on that turn. For example, if Person 2 has 3 chips and rolls a “1,” then one chip is passed.…arrow_forwardDemonstrate Recursion Assignment Instructions Overview The programs we’ve discussed so far are generally structured as methods that call one another in a hierarchical manner. For some problems, it’s useful to have a method call itself—this is known as a recursive method. Such a method can call itself either directly or indirectly through another method. Recursion is an important topic discussed at length in upper-level computer-science courses. Instructions Write a recursive method printArray() that displays all the elements in an array of integers, separated by spaces. The array must be 100 elements in size and filled using a for loop and a random number generator. The pseudo-code for this is as follows: //Instantiate an integer array of size 100 //fill the array For (int i=0; i<array.length; i++) Array[i] = random number between 1 and 100 inclusive printArray(integer array); For this assignment make sure that your screen shots show your program running and that your runtime…arrow_forwardjava A time series is represented a list of time/value pairs Write a function that takes two time series and outputs a new series of the summation of themarrow_forward
