Can you answer my question it's a bit confusing to me! i'm adding brainlist too!
: )
(just so you know i have 5 paragraphs)
i have to do a reaseach essay in a computer, my instructions say:
all paragraphs must have a least 5 sentence each. double spaced, 1 inch margin
can someone explain what that means
you!

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

What is the first step in creating a maintenance ?

Ihave a music player on my phone. i can buy songs, add them to playlists and play them. obviously it would be redundant to store each song in each playlist; each playlist is just a list of pointers to the songs. for this lab you will simulate this behavior. your program will need to have options to: add songs to the system library (you will store the text of the first line of the song, rather than the audio) add playlists add songs to a playlist list playlists play a playlist list all of the songs in the library with a count of how many times each song has been played remove a song from a playlist remove a playlist remove a song from the library (and thus from all playlists that contain it) note that we will not be checking many error cases. in real programming this would be bad, you should usually try to recognize and respond to as many types of errors as you can. in the context of class we are trying to acquaint you with as many concepts as possible, so for the sake of educational efficiency we will not be checking most errors in this lab, you may assume that your user provides correct input. you may add all appropriate error testing if you wish, but we will not be testing for it.
