Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Determine whether the pair of processes run concurrently or not:
Diagram for processes AB:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “A” starts with “5” and end with “7”.
- Process “B” starts with “2” and end with “4”.
- Process “A” and “B” are not concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions do not overlap, that is, process “A” completes before process “B” starts.
Therefore, the processes “AB” are do not run concurrently.
Diagram for processes AC:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “A” starts with “5” and end with “7”.
- Process “C” starts with “3” and end with “6”.
- Process “A” and “C” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “C” starts before the process “A” completes.
Therefore, the processes “AC” are run concurrently.
Diagram for processes AD:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “A” starts with “5” and end with “7”.
- Process “D” starts with “1” and end with “8”.
- Process “A” and “D” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “D” starts before the process “A” completes.
Therefore, the processes “AD” are run concurrently.
Diagram for processes BC:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “B” starts with “2” and end with “4”.
- Process “C” starts with “3” and end with “6”.
- Process “B” and “C” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “C” starts before the process “B” completes.
Therefore, the processes “BC” are run concurrently.
Diagram for processes BD:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “B” starts with “2” and end with “4”.
- Process “D” starts with “1” and end with “8”.
- Process “B” and “D” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “D” starts before the process “B” completes.
Therefore, the processes “BD” are run concurrently.
Diagram for processes CD:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “C” starts with “3” and end with “6”.
- Process “D” starts with “1” and end with “8”.
- Process “C” and “D” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “D” starts before the process “C” completes.
Therefore, the processes “CD” are run concurrently.
Completed table:
| Process pair | Concurrent? |
| AB | No |
| AC | Yes |
| AD | Yes |
| BC | Yes |
| BD | Yes |
| CD | Yes |

Question 1 (15 Points) Inheritance:
In this question, we are going to create a new subclass of the SimpleGeometricObject class,
named Triangle. Create a SimpleGeometricObject.java and Copy the source code of the
SimpleGeometricObject class from the following link:
https://liveexample.pearsoncmg.com/html/SimpleGeometricObject.html
TASK 1: Create a Triangle class that extends the SimpleGeometricObject class in Eclipse, following
the below UML diagram.
+ base:double = 5
+ height:double = 10
Triangle
+ Triangle()
+ Triangle(newBase: double, newHeight: double)
+ getArea(): double
+ setBase(): void
+ setHeight(): void
+ getBase(): double
+ getHeight(): double
Question 2 (10 Points): String vs. StringBuilder
Create a Question2.java file and finish the following tasks:
Task 1.
a) Create a 1D array of integers to store 50 integers.
b) Store values from 0 to 49 in the array you just created.
c) Create a new String Object using no-arg constructor.
d) Using for loop to add the array elements one by one to the String (one per loop iteration)
Hint: to append an element to a String, use the + operator.
e) Output the String on the console. Record and display a run-time it took to append all
integers to the String (record run-time of 1.d.)). Please submit a screenshot. The
screenshot should match the following example:
012345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940414243444546474849
it took 196708 nanoseconds to append 50 integers to the String.|
Hint: You can use the following statements to record run-time.
long begin, end, time; // we will measure time it took
begin = System.nanoTime(); //we measure in nanoseconds.
// put…
