Explanation of Solution

Features of simple network:

  • The client computers, server computer, network operating system software, network interfaces, hub, and a connection medium are the entities of a simple network.
  • The basic responsible for network operating system software is controlling the network and its functions.
  • One client computer is connected to another client computer within the same network.
  • Hubs and switches function is sending packets of data to all other linked devices.
  • The network helping up web pages to storing data and network operating system.
  • The switch has the capability to select a particular destination while the hub sends a packet to all other linked devices.
  • The network components links with the connection mediums such as coaxial cables, radio signals or telephone wires.
  • The Microsoft Window Server, Linux and Novell Open Enterprise Server are the most commonly used network operating system software...

Explanation of Solution

Principal technologies and trends:

  • Client/ Server computing
  • Packet switching
  • TCP/ IP and Connectivity

    Client/ Server computing:

  • Client/ Server computing is defined as a distributed computing model where a part of the processing power is placed within cheap client computers and exist in laptops, handled devices or desktops.
  • It also allows for computing to departments, factory floors, workgroups and other parts of a business that couldn’t be worked by a centralized architecture.
  • The clients are linked to other clients through networks that is controlled by a network server computer.
  • It has replaced by centralized mainframe computer.
  • The process of the client/ server computing has no longer take place on a central large mainframe computer.

Packet Switching:

  • Messages transferring in the internet are divide into fixed size unit of data called packet.
    • Messages are divided into packets to increase the performance and reliability of the internet.
    • Ιt also improves the effectiveness of the communication line in the internet.
  • Packets travel through several routers before it reaches the destination.
    • Router is a device that provides a path for the packet to reach the destination...

Many companies use telephone numbers like 555-GET-FOOD so the number is easier for their customers to remember. On a standard telephone, the alphabetic letters are mapped to numbers in the following fashion: A, B, and C = 2 D, E, and F = 3 G, H, and I = 4 J, K, and L = 5 M, N, and O = 6 P, Q, R, and S = 7 T, U, and V = 8 W, X, Y, and Z = 9 Write a program that asks the user to enter a 10-character telephone number in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX. The application should display the telephone number with any alphabetic characters that appeared in the original translated to their numeric equivalent. For example, if the user enters 555-GET-FOOD, the application should display 555-438-3663.

Homework You have the row vector (A) that has values from (-100 to 100), write MATLAB codes to: (1) Interchange the first 10 elements with last ten elements. (2) Replace the elements at indices (93,9,17,50) of A with 99. (3) Return the second element and the element before the last of A as a column vector (C1). (4) Extract the first five elements and the last five elements of A and append them as a row vector (R). (5) Set the elements of A with odd indices to zeros(0).
