Write a program whose input is a character and a string, and whose output indicates the number of times the character appears in the string. The output should include the input character and use the plural form, n's, if the number of times the characters appears is not exactly 1.

Write a function that draws a pool ball. this function should take as parameters, the color, the number that should go on the pool ball, and the location of the center of the pool ball. the radius of the pool balls should be pool_ball_radius, and the font of the number should be pool_ball_font. the text of the pool ball font should be white. drawpoolball(color.orange, 5, 100, 100); drawpoolball(color.green, 6, 50, 200); drawpoolball(color.red, 3, 150, 350); drawpoolball(color.blue, 2, 250, 140); to center the numbers on the pool ball, you should use the getwidth() and getheight() methods. you are allowed to call these methods on your text object, such as txt.

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?
