When is it not a good idea to remove a program from your computer by simply deleting its directory?

1) if the program’s directory includes other programs
2) if the program’s directory includes executable files
3) if the program adds information to the operating system
4) if the program does not add information to the operating system

)a grad student comes up with the following algorithm to sort an array a[1..n] that works by first sorting the first 2/3rds of the array, then sorting the last 2/3rds of the (resulting) array, and finally sorting the first 2/3rds of the new array. 1: function g-sort(a, n) . takes as input an array of n numbers, a[1..n] 2: g-sort-recurse(a, 1, n) 3: end function 4: function g-sort-recurse(a, `, u) 5: if u ⒠` ≤ 0 then 6: return . 1 or fewer elements already sorted 7: else if u ⒠` = 1 then . 2 elements 8: if a[u] < a[`] then . swap values 9: temp ↠a[u] 10: a[u] ↠a[`] 11: a[`] ↠temp 12: end if 13: else . 3 or more elements 14: size ↠u ⒠` + 1 15: twothirds ↠d(2 ◠size)/3e 16: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 17: g-sort-recurse(a, u ⒠twothirds + 1, u) 18: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 19: end if 20: end function first (5 pts), prove that the algorithm correctly sorts the numbers in the array (in increasing order). after showing that it correctly sorts 1 and 2 element intervals, you may make the (incorrect) assumption that the number of elements being passed to g-sort-recurse is always a multiple of 3 to simplify the notation (and drop the floors/ceilings).

What statement best describes operating systems? it’s possible for modern computers to function without operating systems. most operating systems are free or very inexpensive. operating systems are managed by the computer’s microprocessor (cpu). operating systems manage the computer’s random access memory (ram).

The open systems interconnection (osi) reference model: defines standards for many aspects of computing and communications within a network. is a generic description for how computers use multiple layers of protocol rules to communicate across a network. defines standards for wireless local area network (wlan) communication protocols. details the advantages and disadvantages of various basic network cabling options.
