Into what form does the barcode reader convert individual bar patterns?

1)consider the following code snippet: #ifndef book_h#define book_hconst double max_cost = 1000.0; class book{public: book(); book(double new_cost); void set_cost(double new_cost); double get_cost() const; private: double cost; }; double calculate_terms(book bk); #endifwhich of the following is correct? a)the header file is correct as given.b)the definition of max_cost should be removed since header files should not contain constants.c)the definition of book should be removed since header files should not contain class definitions.d)the body of the calculate_terms function should be added to the header file.

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?
