Explanation of Solution

Database:

Database is the organized collection of associated data elements which is used to have the record of things or items of interest.

  • It is often defined as the structure to hold the data...

Explanation of Solution

Entity:

The basic block for building the data collected about person, place, event, or thing is called as entity.

  • Entities denote attributes that can have many instances.
  • Entity is about the gathering of the information about the place, person, or thing. For example: a patient, a musician, and so on.
  • To locate the information in the entity, they have a name, short description about what they are and identifier.
  • Identifiers are used to find each and every specific instance of an entity.
  • So, it is the purpose of having identifiers with unique values.

Example:

The example of an entity is given below:

  • STUDENT – the student is the person name that collects the details of student information. So the STUDENT acts as the entity.
  • EMPLOYEE - the employee is the person name that collects the details of employee information. So the EMPLOYEE acts as the entity...

Explanation of Solution

Relational database:

  • Relational database is a set of multiple data organized by tables, records, and columns and it creates the relationship between the database tables.
  • The individual value in table provides the link from one table to another.

Storage of data in relational database:

  • Relational database is a database which organizes data according to the relational model as table and table consists of rows and columns.
    • A data in a row or a column of a table is called fields.
    • Fields in a database table are also referred as attributes of a database object...

Explanation of Solution

Role of Entity-relationship diagram in database:

An entity-relationship diagram represents the important elements of database in a graphical form.

  • Entity-relationship (ER) diagram is the technique used to design the relational database.
  • ER diagram is useful to create the data model, which serves business process. Additionally, the diagram ensures whether data is accurate, well-formed and easy for retrieval.
  • An Entity-relationship diagram is represented in the graphical form that shows only important elements such as:
    • Record types
    • Attributes
    • Relationship between entities
  • For example, consider the following diagram:
    • The rectangular box represents the entities such as Customer and Account.
    • The oval symbol represents the attributes such as Firstname, Customer _id, Address, Username and Password.
    • The diamond symbol represents the relationship between two entities.
      • Here, it shows the one-to-one relationship between the Customer and Account.
        • The relationship shows that one customer is allowed to access the one account.

Role of normalization in database:

Normalization is a process of dividing the tables by more than one idea into set of tables such that each and every table contains only one idea...

(a) Algebraically determine the output state |q3q2q1q0> (which is a 4-qubitvector in 16-dimensional Hilbert space). Show all steps of your calculations. (b) Run a Qiskit code which implements the circuit and append threemeasurement gates to measure the (partial) output state |q2q1q0> (which is a 3-qubit vector in 8-dimensional Hilbert space). this is for quantum soft dev class, you can use stuff like Deutsch Jozsa if u want
Write a C++ program that will count from 1 to 10 by 1. The default output should be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10 There should be only a newline after the last number. Each number except the last should be followed by a comma and a space. To make your program more functional, you should parse command line arguments and change behavior based on their values. Argument Parameter Action -f, --first yes, an integer Change place you start counting -l, --last yes, an integer Change place you end counting -s, --skip optional, an integer, 1 if not specified Change the amount you add to the counter each iteration -h, --help none Print a help message including these instructions. -j, --joke none Tell a number based joke.   So, if your program is called counter counter -f 10 --last 4 --skip 2 should produce 10, 8, 6, 4 Please use the last supplied argument. If your code is called counter, counter -f 4 -f 5 -f 6 should count from 6. You should count from first to last inclusively.…
