Program Plan Intro

Database:

The collection of multidimensional information about data which is in organized manner and the information about data access easily according to their user’s needs is called database. Its internal links between its entries make the information about data accessible from a variety of perspective to the users.

Flat file:

The collection of one-dimensional information about data and it is accessible from a single point of view to the user is called flat files. It is in contrast to a traditional file storage system.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Difference between database and flat files is shown below:

DatabaseFlat files
The database is multidimensional storage system.The flat-files are one-dimensional storage system.
There is a variety of perspective so the information is accessible from all these perspective in an organized manner.In flat-files, the information of data is accessible from a single point of view because it is one-dimensional database storage system.
There are specified multiple tables and the relationship between those tables is allowed by database.A single table at a time to specify data attributes is allowed by flat files to users.
The examples of database are db2 and oracle software.The examples of flat files are db3 and paradox.

Answer the Java OOP question below: Explain the relationship between a superclass and a subclass. How do the principles of encapsulation and abstraction play a role in this relationship? In your experience, how do you decide what should be included in a superclass versus a subclass? Share an example where a well-defined superclass-subclass hierarchy improved your code.
1.) Consider the problem of determining whether a DFA and a regular expression are equivalent. Express this problem as a language and show that it is decidable. ii) Let ALLDFA = {(A)| A is a DFA and L(A) = "}. Show that ALLDFA is decidable. iii) Let AECFG = {(G)| G is a CFG that generates &}. Show that AECFG is decidable. iv) Let ETM {(M)| M is a TM and L(M) = 0}. Show that ETM, the complement of Erm, is Turing-recognizable.
