![**Programming Exercise: Slicing Strings**
**Question:**
What is the output of the following code?
```python
S = "spam and eggs"
print(S[:6])
```
**Options:**
a) a
b) spam a
c) spam and
d) spam
**Explanation:**
This exercise demonstrates the concept of string slicing in Python. The code snippet uses the slice `S[:6]` to extract a portion of the string stored in `S`. In Python, `S[:6]` means "take the substring of `S` from the beginning up to (but not including) the 6th index."
Given the string `S = "spam and eggs"`, the characters at each index are as follows:
- Index 0: 's'
- Index 1: 'p'
- Index 2: 'a'
- Index 3: 'm'
- Index 4: ' ' (space)
- Index 5: 'a'
Thus, `S[:6]` results in the substring `"spam a"`, which means the correct answer is **b) spam a**.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/7949c58c-a906-41a4-97ee-5d0bfe78cf99/bf53f5e7-9c16-4b27-83c3-3d6213209dba/o9as7fd_thumbnail.jpeg)

- (Numerical) Given a one-dimensional array of integer numbers, write and test a function that displays the array elements in reverse order.arrow_forward(Statistics) a. Write a C++ program that reads a list of double-precision grades from the keyboard into an array named grade. The grades are to be counted as they’re read, and entry is to be terminated when a negative value has been entered. After all grades have been input, your program should find and display the sum and average of the grades. The grades should then be listed with an asterisk (*) placed in front of each grade that’s below the average. b. Extend the program written for Exercise 1a to display each grade and its letter equivalent, using the following scale: Between90and100=AGreaterthanorequalto80andlessthan90=BGreaterthanorequalto70andlessthan80=CGreaterthanorequalto60andlessthan70=DLessthan60=Farrow_forwardMark the following statements as true or false. A double type is an example of a simple data type. (1) A one-dimensional array is an example of a structured data type. (1) The size of an array is determined at compile time. (1,6) Given the declaration: int list[10]; the statement: list[5] - list[3] * list[2]; updates the content of the fifth component of the array list. (2) If an array index goes out of bounds, the program always terminates in an error. (3) The only aggregate operations allowable on int arrays are the increment and decrement operations. (5) Arrays can be passed as parameters to a function either by value or by reference. (6) A function can return a value of type array. (6) In C++, some aggregate operations are allowed for strings. (11,12,13) The declaration: char name [16] = "John K. Miller"; declares name to be an array of 15 characters because the string "John K. Miller" has only 14 characters. (11) The declaration: char str = "Sunny Day"; declares str to be a string of an unspecified length. (11) As parameters, two-dimensional arrays are passed either by value or by reference.

- 12. What is the output of the following program? (2, 3, 6, 8) #include #include #include #include using namespace std; int main() { double x, y; string str; x = 9.0; y = 3.2; cout (sqrt(pow (y, 4))) = " (sqrt(pow (y, 4))) << endl; str = "Predefined functions simplify programming code!"; cout << "Length of str = " << str.length() << endl; return 0; }arrow_forward(Numerical) a. The following is an extremely useful programming algorithm for rounding a real number to n decimal places: Step 1: Multiply the number by 10n Step 2: Add 0.5 Step 3: Delete the fractional part of the result Step 4: Divide by 10n For example, using this algorithm to round the number 78.374625 to three decimal places yields: Step1:78.374625103=78374.625 Step2:78374.625+0.5=78375.125 Step3:Retainingtheintegerpart=78375Step4:78375dividedby103=78.375 Using this algorithm, write a C++ function that accepts a user-entered value and returns the result rounded to two decimal places. b. Enter, compile, and run the program written for Exercise 11a.arrow_forward(Numerical) Using the srand() and rand() C++ library functions, fill an array of 1000 floating-point numbers with random numbers that have been scaled to the range 1 to 100. Then determine and display the number of random numbers having values between 1 and 50 and the number having values greater than 50. What do you expect the output counts to be?arrow_forward
