Write an application that allows a user to enter the names and birthdates of up to 10 friends. continue to prompt the user for names and birthdates until the user enters the sentinel value “zzz” for a name or has entered 10 names, whichever comes first. when the user is finished entering names, produce a count of how many names were entered, and then display the names. in a loop, continuously ask the user to type one of the names and display the corresponding birthdate or an error message if the name has not been previously entered. the loop continues until the user enters “zzz” for a name. save the application as birthdayreminder.java.

Consider a direct-mapped cache with 216 words in main memory. the cache has 16 blocks of 8 words each. it is a word-addressable computer (rather than a byte-addressable computer which we normally discuss). (a) how many blocks of main memory are there? (b) what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, that is, what are the sizes of the tag, cache block, and block offset fields (if they apply)? (c) to which cache block will the memory reference db6316 map?

Assume that there is a 4% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. if all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. if copies of all your computer data are stored on three independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive?
