Consider this data sequence: "3 11 5 5 5 2 4 6 6 7 3 -8". Any value that is the same as the immediately preceding value is considered a CONSECUTIVE DUPLICATE. Write some code that uses a loop to read such a sequence of non-negative integers , terminated by a negative number. When the code finishes executing, the number of consecutive duplicates encountered is printed.

int firstNumber, secondNumber, duplicates;

secondNumber = duplicates = 0;

firstNumber = stdin.nextInt();

while (stdin.hasNextInt() && firstNumber > -1 && secondNumber > -1)

{

   secondNumber = stdin.nextInt();

   if (firstNumber == secondNumber)

   {

       duplicates++;

   }

   firstNumber = secondNumber;

}

System.out.println(duplicates);

Explanation:

The code is in JAVA.

plot immersion i am not fully sure with it though

solution:

this situation is called an ip conflict.

data from a server is sent in small bits called packets. in an ip conflict, some packets will end up in one computer while some other packets will end up in another computer.

so…overall none of the computers get the data as the original message or picture being sent by the server cannot be retrieved with only half the packets. so it will show up as an error.

thus the final answer is d.
