Concept explainers

Statistical function is of many categories. One of them is a MAX function. The MAX function returns the largest value from the list of arguments passed to it. MAX function always ignores the empty cells when performing the calculation.

Power Function

A power function is a type of single-term function. Its definition states that it is a variable containing a base value raised to a constant value acting as an exponent. This variable may also have a coefficient. For instance, the area of a circle can be…

Chapter 6, Problem 12PE

Rock, Paper, Scissors Game

Design a program that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows:

(1) When the program begins, a random number in the range of 1 through 3 is generated. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Don’t display the computer's choice yet.)
(2) The user enters his or her choice of “rock,” “paper,” or “scissors” at the keyboard.
(3) The computer's choice is displayed.
(4) The program should display a message indicating whether the user or the computer was the winner. A winner is selected according to the following rules:
• If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins. (The rock smashes the scissors.)
• If one player chooses scissors and the other player chooses paper, then scissors wins. (Scissor s cut paper.)
• If one player chooses paper and the other player chooses rock, then paper wins. (Paper wraps rock.)
• If both players make the same choice, the game must be played again to determine the winner.

When the FCC added Color Television to the Industry Standards, they went with the system developed in the 1940s by Peter Goldman for CBS. Question 15 options: True False Part of the reason that many critics disliked 1950s gameshows was the fact that gameshows offered one of the few opportunities to see unscripted interactions with "real" (average/non-famous) people on television. Question 16 options: True False The Andy Griffith Show is an example of the "rural revival" shows that become enormously popular on 1960s American television. Question 19 options: True False During the Network Era, the hours before primetime each day were exclusively devoted to locally-produced programming, not programming dictated by an affiliate station's parent network. Question 20 options: True False

Although color television was not added to the industry standard until 1956, CBS had been broadcasting selected special events in color as early as 1950. Question 1 options: True False Two key factors in creating the Network Era of American television were the FCC licensing freeze and ______________. Question 4 options: The Quiz Show Scandals Habitual Viewing Operation Frontal Lobes Drop-In Viewing Least Objectionable Programming was designed to embrace the public service-oriented vision of using television to elevate mass culture and enrich viewers. Question 6 options: True False By the end of the 1950s, all three remaining networks (NBC, CBS, & ABC) were broadcasting their entire nightly programming schedule in full color. Question 9 options: True False

7. See the code below and solve the following. public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { int result = 0; } result = fn(2,3); System.out.println("The result is: + result); // fn(x, 1) = x // fn(x, y) = fn(x, y-1) + 2, when y>1 public static int fn(int x, int y) { if (x <= 1) return x; else return fn(x, y-1) + 2; } } 7-1. This program has a bug that leads to infinite recursion. Modify fn(int x, int y) method to fix the problem. (2 point) 7-2. Manually trace the recursive call, fn(2,3) and show the output (step by step). (2 point) 7-3. Can you identify the Base Case in recursive method fn(int x, int y)? (1 point)
