The following function returns a string of length n whose characters are all 'x'. give the order of growth (as a function of n) of the running time. recall that concatenating two strings in java takes time proportional to the sum of their lengths. public static string f(int n) { if (n == 0) return ""; if (n == 1) return "x"; return f(n/2) + f(n - n/2); } options: a) constant b) logarithmic c) linear d) linearithmic e)quadratic f)cubic g) exponential

Consider a byte-addressable computer with 16mb of main memory, a cache capable of storing a total of 64kb of data and block size of 32 bytes. (a) how many bits in the memory address? (b) how many blocks are in the cache? (c) specify the format of the memory address, including names and sizes, when the cache is: 1. direct-mapped 2. 4-way set associative 3. fully associative

4. what is the reason for including the following code snippet in the header file animal.h? #ifndef animal_h #define animal_h class animal { public: animal(); animal(double new_area_hunt); void birth(); void hunt(double new_area_hunt); void death(); double get_area_hunt() const; private: double area_hunt; }; #endif
