A.

Program Plan Intro

Given code:

//Include the necessary header files

#include <stdio.h>

#include "csapp.h"

//Define a main()

int main()

{

//Initialize the variable x as 1

int x=1;

//Check the condition

if(fork()==0)

//Print the statement

printf("p1: x=%d\n", ++x);

//Print the statement

printf("p2: x=%d\n", --x);

//Exit

exit(0);

}

Explanation:

The given code is used to print the output of the child and parent processes.

In the given code, the main program initializes the variable “x” as “1”.

  • The “if” condition check, function “fork()” is equal to zero.
    • Condition is true, print the value of “x” by incrementing “1”. So, the value of “x” becomes “2”.
  • Otherwise, print the value of “x” by decrementing “1”. So, the value of “x” becomes “1”.
  • Exit from the program.

B.

Explanation of Solution

Output of the parent process:

P2: x = 0

Explanation:

In the given code, the main program initializes the variable “x” as “1”.

  • The parent process check the condition, if the function “fork()” is equal to zero...

(a) Assume that five generation units with third order cost function (F: (P) = A: P²³ + B; P; ² + C; P; +D;) are in the circuit. Write a computer program using any arbitrary programming language (MATLAB, C++, C#, Python,...) to calculate economic. load dispatch (ELD) using first order gradient method. Note that all parameters and variables should be defined inside the program (at first lines) such that units' characteristics and demand can be changed easily. Neglect grid losses.
