For the second stage, you will need to develop an animal printer. Your program should display the animal identified in the code field. Please, don't remove the r character at the start of the code template. It's a part of the string and it's important. So, the string should start with r""" sequence. This "r" at the beginning stands for "raw" and allows various characters to be used in a string without escaping. For instance, "\" in a non-raw string should be escaped as follows: "\\".

Write a grading program for a class with the following grading policies: a. there are two quizzes, each graded on the basis of 10 points. b. there is one midterm exam and one final exam, each graded on the basis of 100 points. c. the final exam counts for 50% of the grade, the midterm counts for 25%, and the two quizzes together count for a total of 25%. (do not forget to normalize the quiz scores. they should be converted to a percentage before they are averaged in.) any grade of 90 or more is an a, any grade of 80 or more (but less than 90) is a b, any grade of 70 or more (but less than 80) is a c, any grade of 60 or more (but less than 70) is a d, and any grade below 60 is an f. the program will read in the student’s scores and output the student’s record, which consists of two quiz and two exam scores as well as the student’s average numeric score for the entire course and final letter grade. define and use a structure for the student reco

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?

Why should you evaluate trends when thinking about a career path?
