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. in this example, there are three such consecutive duplicates: the 2nd and 3rd 5s and the second 6. note that the last 3 is not a consecutive duplicate because it was preceded by a 7. 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. in this case, 3 would be printed. assume the availability of a variable, stdin, that references a scanner object associated with standard input. that is, stdin = new scanner(system.in); is given.

Consider a byte-addressable computer with 16mb of main memory, a cache capable of storing a total of 64kb of data and block size of 32 bytes. (a) how many bits in the memory address? (b) how many blocks are in the cache? (c) specify the format of the memory address, including names and sizes, when the cache is: 1. direct-mapped 2. 4-way set associative 3. fully associative
