Explanation of Solution
Whether it is ethical to copy the software packages for own use:
- Computers have changed our life in many ways, making our lives easy and convenient. Every organization that produce a product, have policies and patents of the project.
- A software package is a set of software created to fulfill a particular function. When it is released for the use, some precautions are taken to access the software. The owner maintains the data of software package very confidentially with certain terms and conditions.
- If an individual or an organization accepts all the terms and conditions, then only they get the assistance to access the software package.
- To use, copy, alter and transfer the software, it is necessary to have a software license...

In my Introduction to Electronics course (300), we often run across division by zero. I know that it is technically undefined (or, at the very least, ambiguous), but sometimes we consider the value to be zero and other times to be infinity, which are, obviously, diametrically different (apart from negative numbers). I'm not so much interested in the nature of division by zero but more in how we determine whether we regard the value as zero or infinity? Again, this is in the context of electronics and circuit analysis, to be more specific.
Thank you for your assistance.
Formal approaches are based on the use of logical reasoning. In terms of general popularity, propositional logic and predicate logic are your best bets.
An undergraduate student in discrete mathematics wonders whether propositional and predicate logics may be useful in software testing. This student really needs your help in finding what they're looking for.
The benefits and drawbacks of logic as a tool for software testing might be outlined as one such approach. How should formal programme verification be performed, and which logic is optimal for doing so?
The absence of error warnings throughout the translation of a computer code is necessary but not sufficient for acceptable (programmatic) correctness, as previously stated by computer scientists Richard Conway and David Gries.Substitute another word or words for "necessary" and "sufficient" that together have the same meaning. (If it makes more sense to break it up into two sentences, by all means do so.)

Classification of the amplifier can be done in 3 different ways. • Voltage amplifiers. • Current amplifiers. • Power amplifiers.

- 1. In the lectures, we discussed the four cornerstones of computational thinking (for example, decomposition). For each of these cornerstones, provide one or two sentences about how you could apply that technique to help solve a problem. The problem should be from something you're interested in and doesn't necessarily need to be about programming. You may use the same example problem for all of the cornerstones, such as walking through the problem with each step, but you cannot use examples that were already discussed in the lectures.arrow_forward3. There are several algorithmic solutions available for solving deadlocks. If you are asked to implement one of those with Java language (compulsory), how would you do it?

Think outside of the box - this doesn't have to be your computer - in fact, I would prefer it NOT be - it can be your phone, your television, or some other electronic interface. Describe concisely (no fluff, please!) how at least TWO of the "Laws of Grouping" were applied to the design of the interface that you chose.arrow_forwardRead the following paragraph. Then rewrite it so that it is consistent with the principles of person-first language. There was a time when disabled kids were not allowed to go to school. They were institutionalized or kept at home. The parents of these disabled students, and of others who were wheelchair bound, mute, and others, began to fight for the rights of their children to receive a free public education. Because of these advocacy efforts, in 1973, the Rehabilitation Act was signed into law. It prohibited any agency receiving federal funding, including most public schools, from discriminating against a disabled child. This paved the way for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which ensures educational services for all handicapped children throughout the nation. These laws have provided disabled students the right to receive an education at their neighborhood school with their peers.arrow_forward
