Chapter 5.2, Problem 12STE
Program Plan Intro

void Functions:

  • A function must either return a single or no value.
  • A function where no value is returned is termed as “void” function.
  • The “void” function is been defined in same way as function that would return a value.
  • It implements only subtask for complete problem.
  • If a “void” function is called, formal parameters are substituted with arguments.
  • The statements in function body are executed.
  • The “return” statement specifies value that is been returned.

Call-by-Reference:

  • It is a method for substituting arguments.
  • The argument is substituted for formal parameter.
  • The function call arguments may be a variable.
  • This argument variable is substituted for formal parameter.
  • It is similar to copying of argument variables into function definition body in place of formal parameter.
  • The function body code is been executed once argument is substituted.
  • This code can change argument variable value.
  • The ampersand sign (&) is attached to end of type name in formal parameter list in both function declaration as well as function header definition.

Call-by-value:

  • It copies actual value of an argument into function’s formal parameter.
  • The changes made to parameter inside function have no effect on argument.
  • This technique is used in default in programs.
  • The code within a function could not alter arguments that are used for calling function.

what are some available cloud components, types, delivery models, and configurations in web services and cloud computing? thanks
I would like to get information to know features about the following concepts: 1. Anything as a Server (XaaS) 2. Block Storage 3. WebSocket
Please answer JAVA OOP problem below: You are working at a university that tracks students. Each student is identified by their name and faculty advisor. Each faculty advisor is identified by their name, department, and maximum number of students they can advise. Using solid OO design principles, create a modular program that implements all the classes for the problem and also creates an implementation class that gathers user input for one student and then prints out the information gathered by creating the appropriate data definition and implementation classes. All data must be validated.    I have given the code so far: Implementation: import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class Implementation {     public static void main(String[] args) {         FacultyAdvisor facultyAdvisor = new FacultyAdvisor("Sharmin Sultana", "IT", 30);         Student student = new Student("John", facultyAdvisor);         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, student.toString());     } }   Student: public…
