Explain the rationale of using hexadecimal notation by computer programmers. (4 marks). b. What generalizations can you draw about converting a number from one base to a power of that base, e. g., from base 3 to base 9 (32 ) or from base 2 to base 4 (22 ) or base 8 (23 )? (3 marks) c. Present an overview of the IEEE 754 standard for floating-point representation. In your presentation, describe the rationale behind IEEE 754 standard and a demonstration with an example of converting a real number to IEEE 754 standard and vice versa. (7 marks)

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e.g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.

Auser is given read permission to a file stored on an ntfs-formatted volume. the file is then copied to a folder on the same ntfs-formatted volume where the user has been given full control permission for that folder. when the user logs on to the computer holding the file and accesses its new location via a drive letter, what is the user's effective permission to the file? a. read b. full control c. no access d. modify e. none of the above
