How do i answer a question that was asked on

Some of your friends have gotten into the burgeoning field of time-series data mining, in which one looks for patterns in sequences of events that occur over time. purchases at stock exchanges--what’s being bought-- are one source of data with a natural ordering in time. given a long sequence s of such events, your friends want an efficient way to detect certain "patterns" in them--for example, they may want to know if the four events buy yahoo, buy ebay, buy yahoo, buy oracle occur in this sequence s, in order but not necessarily consecutively. they begin with a collection of possible events (e.g., the possible’ transactions) and a sequence s of n of these events. a given event may occur multiple times in s (e.g., yahoo stock may be bought many times in a single sequence s). we will say that a sequence s’ is a subsequence of s if there is a way to delete certain of the events from s so that the remaining events, in order, are equal to the sequence s’. so, for example, the sequence of four events above is a subsequence of the sequence buy amazon, buy yahoo, buy ebay, buy yahoo, buy yahoo, buy oracle their goal is to be able to dream up short sequences and quickly detect whether they are subsequences of s. so this is the problem they pose to you: give an algorithm that takes two sequences of even~s--s’ of length m and s of length n, each possibly containing an event more than once--and decides in time o(m n) whether s’ is a subsequence of s

Which are steps taken to diagnose a computer problem? a) reproducing the problem and using error codes b) reproducing the problem and troubleshooting c) using error codes and troubleshooting d) using error codes and stepping functions

Dean wants a quick way to look up staff members by their staff id. in cell q3, nest the existing vlookup function in an iferror function. if the vlookup function returns an error result, the text “invalid staff id” should be displayed by the formula. (hint: you can test that this formula is working by changing the value in cell q2 to 0, but remember to set the value of cell q2 back to 1036 when the testing is complete.)
