A year with 366 days is called a leap year. Leap years are necessary to keep the calendar in sync with the sun, because the earth revolves around the sun once very 365.25 days. As a result, years that are divisible by 4, like 1996, are leap years. However, years that are divisible by 100, like 1900, are not leap years. But years that are divisible by 400, like 2000, are leap years. Write a program named leap_year. py that asks the user for a year and computes whether that year is a leap year.

Suppose we have a byte addressable computer that has a 32-byte cache with 8 bytes per block. the memory address is 8 bits long. the system accesses memory addresses (in hex) in this exact order: 6e, b9, 17, e0, 4e, 4f, 50, 91, a8, ab, ad, 93, and 94. (a) assuming the cache is direct mapped, what memory addresses will be in cache block 2 after the last address has been accessed? (b) assuming the cache is direct mapped, what is the hit ratio for the entire memory reference sequence given, assuming the cache is initially empty? (c) assuming the cache is 2-way set associative with a lru replacement policy, what is the hit ratio?

In which phase does software coding and testing happen in the spiral model? the spiral model does not have a separate testing phase. both, software coding and testing occurs during the phase.
