The 1s program gets the width of the screen from the COLUMNS environment variable. If COLUMNS is Unset, then 1s assumes that the screen is 80 columns wide. Thus, you can check your handling of the environment variables by setting the COLUMNS environment to something less than 80:
linux> setenv COLUMNS
linux> ./my1s
.
. //Output is 40 columns wide
.
linux> unsetenv COLUMNS
linux> ./my1s
.
//Output is now 80 columns wide

you will simulate a simple multithreading application with a “producer and consumer” problem.
IN JAVA Modify "Producer and Consumer Problem" from the lecture note so that it can use all buffer
space, not "buffersize - 1" as in the lecture note. This program should work as follows:
The user will run the program and will enter two numbers on the command line.
Those numbers will be used for buffersize and counter limit.
The main program will then create separate producer and consumer threads.
The Producer thread generates a random number through a random number
generator function, inserts it into the buffer, prints the number, and increment
counter.
The Consumer thread goes to the buffer, takes a number in the proper order, prints it
out, and increment counter.
After the counter reaches its limit, both threads should be terminated and returned to
the main.
Main program terminates.

We want to develop a game where the user should guess a secret number. The game asks the user to input a number and tells how close it is to the secret random number that the game
generates.
Complete the main() function that implements this game by calling the get_user_input(), generate_secret(), and display_result(user_input, secret) functions that you will develop as
follows:
• Complete the get_user_input() function so that it prompts the user to enter a whole number between 1 and 20 (inclusive) and returns the number that the user enters.
• Complete the generate_secret() function so that it generates and returns a random number between 1 and 20 (inclusive).
• Complete the display_result(user_input, secret) function that takes the two parameters that correspond to the user input and the secret. It should then print the absolute difference
between these two numbers.
For example:
Test
Input Result
random.seed (10) S
Enter a number from 1 to 2015
You entered 5. The secret was 19. The…

The process begins when a person gives the envelope to apost office, at which point a barcode (containing all necessary information) is generated,and the envelope is labelled. Then, it is possible to keep track of the envelope betweendifferent cities/offices. The software has the following functions:i. generateBarcode()ii. createDatabaseRecord()iii. updateDatabaseRecord()iv. decodeBarcodeAndUpdateEnvelopPosition()v. getEnvelopPosition() (a) State and describe TWO types of beneficial module couplings that may be present inthis piece of software. (b) For each function, pick an example of possible module cohesion and explain the typeof that module cohesion. (c) We know that function updateDatabaseRecord() alters the actions of functioncreateDatabaseRecord(). State and describe the type of module coupling that exists inthe code containing these two functions.arrow_forwardCreate a new file in c++. In this lab, you will add some functionality to the table ofmenu. Your boss (me) has decided that letters should be used for menu items instead of digits (because there are more alpha characters than numeric ones, so more additional menu items could be added in the future). We all know that programmers are lazy, but so are most users! So, the user should be able to enter either uppercase (A) or lowercase (a) for their menu selection. Also, it is important to let the user know if they entered an invalid choice. Write a program that displays the following menu and prompts the user for a selection. Once the selection has been made, display the selection back to the user. Then, ask the user for two numbers and perform the selected operation (+, -, *, /). Display the results back to the user (e.g. 2 + 3 = 5). When dividing, display an error message if the second number is 0.

There are two files named group1.txt and group2.txt that contain course information and grades of each student for each class. I will calculate each course average for each group and show in simple bar graph. Use "*" and "#"characters for group1 and group2, respectively. I will see the number -999 at the end of each line in the input files. This value is used for line termination and you can use it to verify that you have arrived at the end of the line. The averages of each group should also be calculated and printed at the end of the file.

You will ask the user to input each test score individually. When calculating the average, the lowest score in the group is dropped. Your program should use the following functions: void getScore() should ask the user for a test score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five scores to be entered. void calcAverage() should calculate and display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores. int findLowest) should find and return the lowest of the five scores passed to it. It should be called by calcAverage(), which uses the function to determine which of the five scores to drop. Void displayAverage() should display the average of the four highest scores. This function should be called by calcAverage(). Input Validation: Do not accept test scores lower…arrow_forward
- In this question, you are going to make a user login application by using Python Library Tkinter, based on what you learn in lists Your function name must be “def Login ()”. You need to choose your type(student , Admin , teacher) then log-In with your password and username. If username is true, program should display the “login successful” message and your “login time “. If not, program should display “error message”. Your log-In time function name must be “def show_Time()”. As a default, type must be student and when you login whether success or not, the textbox/entry must be clean by “def clean ()” function. Basically in this question, you are going to write 3 functions by named Login, show_Time, clean.

For example, “//” will return true and 1 “one// two three// four” will return true and 2 “one” will return false and 0 “one two” will return false and 0 Please note that for question #5, you cannot refer or use string class, string methods such length() or size() or any string function such as strlen(), strcmp or strstr().

It returns true if all of the arguments have a '-' on both the beginning and ending of the arguments and false otherwise. If it has no argument, it will return true. In addition, this function also returns another boolean value of true when one of the arguments is just a dash ('-') and false otherwise. Please note that you cannot use string class, string methods such length() or size() or any string function such as strlen(). Please use only array notation, pointer to character, and/or pointer arithmetic and make use of the fact that this is a C-string. Please show how you would call and test this function.
