Program Description Answer

In this case, “garbage in, garbage out” is abbreviated as GIGO.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Explanation of Solution

Garbage in, garbage out:

The word “garbage” means invalid data in the computer program. If the user enter invalid data as an input, the program returns unrecognizable output. The process of invalid input and output is called as “garbage in” and “garbage out”. The sentence “garbage in, garbage out” is abbreviated as “GIGO”.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Great input, great output:

It is an invalid abbreviation of “GIGO”. Great input and great out shows the user opinion of values. So, it is considered as invalid option.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

GIGahertz Output:

It is an invalid abbreviation of “GIGO”. The word “GIGahertz” is abbreviated as “GHz” and it refers the operating speed of CPU. So, it is considered as invalid option.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

GIGabyte Operation:

It is an invalid abbreviation of “GIGO”. The word “GIGabyte” is abbreviated as “GHz” and it refers the operating speed of CPU. So, it is considered as invalid option.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

We are considering the RSA encryption scheme. The involved numbers are small, so the communication is insecure.  Alice's public key (n,public_key) is (247,7). A code breaker manages to factories  247 = 13 x 19  Determine Alice's secret key. To solve the problem, you need not use the extended Euclid algorithm, but you may assume that her private key is one of the following numbers 31,35,55,59,77,89.
Consider the following Turing Machine (TM). Does the TM halt if it begins on the empty tape? If it halts, after how many steps? Does the TM halt if it begins on a tape that contains a single letter A followed by blanks? Justify your answer.
