The Last Leaf is a touching tale of love and sacrifice. Prepare a review of the story. (Hints : Theme of commitment—sacrifice—Sue brings Johnsy back to life—Behrman plays a pivotal role.) |
|
Answer» ‘The Last Leaf ’ is a touching tale of love and sacrifice. It revolves around the theme of commitment and sacrifice. The commitment was shown by Sue, Johnsy’s friend who was determined to let Johnsy come out of her illness. She is hope personified as she all the time tries to make Johnsy come out of her pessimism. She never ever showed her sadness and hopelessness in front of Johnsy. On the other hand, Mr. Behrman showed selflessness and decided to save Johnsy by painting a leaf on the wall. He sacrificed his life just to save Johnsy life. He plays a pivotal role in the story because it was only his art that rekindled the dying hope in Johnsy. He sacrificed his life to save Johnsy and painted the last leaf in the middle of the night when it was raining heavily. 'The Last Leaf' is an all time story which touches the heart of its readers and motivates to be optimistic in life. |

Answer» Sue was an artist who had come to New York to earn her living. She met Johnsy at a restaurant and both became good friends. They shared the same apartment. Sue was a loyal friend. She was devoted to Johnsy. She wanted her to recover. It pained her heart to see Johnsy in such a bad condition. The doctor had said that she had only one in ten chance to survive and that chance was Johnsy's wish to live. After the doctor left, Sue cried a lot. She was very sad but she didn't show it to her friend. She always said words of hope and reassurance in front of her. Never once did she say a negative word to her. She was very kind and considerate. She wanted Johnsy to come out of her ill-health. She nursed her like her own sister. When she noticed the frustration in Johnsy, she went to Mr. Behrman and asked for his help. She was very happy when he painted a leaf hanging on the vine. It worked wonders and was a ray of hope for Johnsy who recovered after few days. The whole credit goes to Sue who was firmly determined to help Johnsy come out of the jaws of death. |

Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:Gregor Johann Mendel was born in 1822. He was an Austrian monk. In the year 1856, he became famous for his work in a series of breeding experiments to study plant heredity. He conducted these experiments on the garden pea plant. The biological name of this plant is Pisum Sativum. This study formed the basis of scientific investigations on inheritance. Not much was known about genetics till then. Mendel was the first to work on the basic laws that govern the inheritance of genes. Earlier, it was believed that if a tall person married a short person, the children produced would have intermediate height. But Mendel proved it wrong. He showed that individual characteristics are passed on to the next generation and would never blend.For years, he bred and studied the edible pea plant. He chose the pea plant for his experiments for many reasons; they were small and many could be grown in a limited area; the results of these crosses had been studied earlier; as they were easy to cultivate because of their rapid life cycles and as the flowers could selfpollinate themselves or even be cross-pollinated under controlled conditions.Out of the many features that a pea plant possessed Mendel’s breeding experiments centered on the inheritance of a few contrasting features. He conducted his experiments using good scientific method. He controlled his experimental conditions carefully. He ensured that plants were pollinated only by the pollen he transferred. He performed his experiments in three sequential stages; first, selection of pure line parents, secondly, hybridization and thirdly, self-pollination of hybrids.1. What made Mendel famous?2. When did Mendel become famous?3. ………………….. is the biological name of the pea plant. (Fill in the blanks)4. Who was the first one to work on inheritance of genes? 5.

Mention one of the reasons why the pea plants were easy to cultivate.7. What were Mendel’s breeding experiments centered on?8. ‘He performed his experiments in sequential stages’. The second stage was(a) Hybridization(b) Self-pollination of hybrids(c) Selection of pure plants.9. Fill in the blank with the right suffix to the word ‘experiment’ to form its adjective,(al, ion, ed)10. Add a prefix to get the antonym of ‘cultivated’ ………………… (an, unj in). |

The types of errors detected by a compiler are: • Syntax errors -- The compiler cannot understand a program because it does not follow the syntax that is the rules and grammar of a particular language. Common syntax errors include • missing or misplaced ; or }, • missing return type for a procedure, • Missing or duplicate variable declaration. • Type errors that include • type mismatch on assignment, • type mismatch between actual and formal parameters.

What is a subroutine? How do subroutines help in program writing? |
|
Answer» A subroutine is a named, independent section of C code that performs a specific task and optionally returns a value to the calling program. Some of the important characteristics of subroutine that help in program writing are: • A subroutine is named, each have a unique name. By using that name in another part of the program, one can execute the statements contained in the subroutine. • A subroutine is independent that can perform its task without interference from or interfering with other parts of the program. • A subroutine performs a specific task. A task is a discrete job that a program must perform as part of its overall operation, such as sending a line of text to a printer, sorting an array into numerical order, or calculating a cube root. • A subroutine can return a value to the calling program. When a program calls a subroutine, then statements it contains are executed. These statements can pass information back to the calling program. |

Define the term ‘complexity of an algorithm; and explain worst-case and average case analysis of an algorithm. |
|
Answer» Complexity of an algorithm is the measure of analysis of algorithm. Analyzing an algorithm means predicting the resources that the algorithm requires such as memory, communication bandwidth, logic gates and time. Most often it is computational time that is measured for finding a more suitable algorithm. This is known as time complexity of the algorithm. The running time of a program is described as a function of the size of its input. On a particular input, it is traditionally measured as the number of primitive operations or steps executed. Worst case analysis of an algorithm is an upper bound on the running time for any input. Knowing that in advance gives us a guarantee that the algorithm will never take any longer. Average case analysis of an algorithm means expected running time of an algorithm on average input data set. The average case is often as bad as the worst case. One problem with performing an average case analysis is that it is difficult to decide what constitutes an “average” input for a particular problem. Often we assume that all inputs of a given size are equally likely. |
