Create a Python program (hw3.py) that simulates a Mark-Sweep garbage collection algorithm. In this program, named pointers are referred to using variable names such as p, stackPtr, temp3, etc. Heap blocks are referred to using integers. The program has the following functionality: Get the name of an input file from the command line (using sys. argv). WARNING: Do not prompt the user for a file name. Process the file. The first line will contain n number of heap blocks--the heap blocks will be identified using the numbers 0 through n - 1. Each subsequent line will contain an ordered pair either in the form : named pointer, heap block (example: p,10 means p points to heap block 10) heap block, heap block (example: 7,3 means heap block 7 points to heap block 3)

1. package newton’s method for approximating square roots (case study 3.6) in a function named newton. this function expects the input number as an argument and returns the estimate of its square root. the script should also include a main function that allows the user to compute square roots of inputs until she presses the enter/return key. 2. convert newton’s method for approximating square roots in project 1 to a recursive function named newton. (hint: the estimate of the square root should be passed as a second argument to the function.) 3. elena complains that the recursive newton function in project 2 includes an extra argument for the estimate. the function’s users should not have to provide this value, which is always the same, when they call this function. modify the definition of the function so that it uses a keyword parameter with the appropriate default value for this argument, and call the function without a second argument to demonstrate that it solves this problem. 4. restructure newton’s method (case study 3.6) by decomposing it into three cooperating functions. the newton function can use either the recursive strategy of project 1 or the iterative strategy of case study 3.6. the task of testing for the limit is assigned to a function named limitreached, whereas the task of computing a new approximation is assigned to a function named improveestimate. each function expects the relevant arguments and returns an appropriate value. 5. a list is sorted in ascending order if it is empty or each item except the last one is less than or equal to its successor. define a predicate issorted that expects a list as an argument and returns true if the list is sorted, or returns false otherwise. (hint: for a list of length 2 or greater, loop through the list and compare pairs of items, from left to right, and return false if the first item in a pair is greater.)

The salespeople at hyperactive media sales all use laptop computers so they can take data with them on the road. you are a salesperson for superduper lightspeed computers talking to hyperactive media sales about upgrading the laptops to windows 10. explain how network location awareness in windows 10 would make the laptops more secure.
