Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 8.1, Problem 5CP
Explanation of Solution
Computing length of string:
- • In Python, the “len()” function would return the length of sequence.
- • It returns the length of string.
Syntax:
The syntax for “len()” function is shown below:
string_variable = ‘string_value’
variable = len(string_variable)
Explanation:
In the above syntax,
- • The “string_variable” denotes variable that references a string.
- • The “variable” denotes the length of city.
- • The “len()” function computes the length of string and assigns in variable “variable”...

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).

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.

- 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)arrow_forward6.

The input begins with an integer indicating the length of the list that follows. Assume the list will contain a maximum of 20 integers. Output "yes" if the list is a palindrome and "no" otherwise. The output ends with a newline. Hints: - use a for loop to populate the array based on the specified size (the first number entered) - use a for loop to check first value with last value, second value with second from end, etc. - if the values do not match, set a Boolean variable to flag which statement to output (yes or no) Ex: If the input is (remember to include spaces between the numbers): 6 1 5 9 9 5 1 the output is: yes Ex: If the input is: 5 1 2 3 4 5 the output is: C++ codingarrow_forward
