Explanation of Solution
Function definition for “float_le()” function:
The implementation for “float_le()” and “f2u()”function is given below:
//Header file
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
//Function definition for returns the result as an unsigned
unsigned f2u(float xvl)
{
/* Returns the unsigned value by using "*(unsigned*)&x" */
return *(unsigned*)&xvl;
}
//Function definition for float_le function
int float_le(float x, float y)
{
//Compute the unsigned value for "x"
unsigned ux = f2u(x);
//Compute the unsigned value for "y"
unsigned uy = f2u(y);
//Get the sign bits for "x"
unsigned sx = ux >> 31;
//Get the sign bits for "y"
unsigned sy = uy >> 31;
/* Returns the result for float_le() function */
return (ux << 1 == 0 && uy << 1 == 0) ||
(sx && !sy) ||
(!sx && !sy && ux <= uy) ||
(sx && sy && ux >= uy);
}
//Main function
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
/* Call function "float_le" with checking value using "assert" function */
assert(float_le(-0, +0));
assert(float_le(+0, -0));

6.use c code to Develop a code that gets two integers from the user and calculates and prints their least common multiplier or LCM. LCM is the smallest number that divides both given integers.
Example.
lcm (10, 15) = 30, lcm (5,7) = 35 and lcm (12, 24) = 24Hint: we know that lcm(x,y) = xy/gcd(x,y) where gcd is the greatest common divisor (discussed in class). Develop a gcd function in your code, get the two numbers from the user, call your function to calculate their gcd and then use the formula above to calculate and display their lcm
GOOD LUCK!

- *Code in Python A bit shift is a procedure whereby the bits in a bit string are moved to the left or to the right. For example, we can shift the bits in the string 1011 two places to the left to produce the string 1110. Note that the leftmost two bits are wrapped around to the right side of the string in this operation. Define two scripts, shiftLeft.py and shiftRight.py, that expect a bit string as an input. The script shiftLeft shifts the bits in its input one place to the left, wrapping the leftmost bit to the rightmost position. The script shiftRight performs the inverse operation. Each script prints the resulting string. An example of shiftLeft.py input and output is shown below: Enter a string of bits: Hello world! ello world!H An example of shiftRight.py input and output is shown below: Enter a string of bits: Hello world! !Hello worldarrow_forwardTopic: Binary Operation True or False The operations ” + ” and • on R are not associative.arrow_forwardModify the below program that the input values representingfractions are stored with denominators that are positive integers.

- ▼ Part A - The effect of an arithmetic shift on signed numbers Let's look at see what happens to signed numbers during a shift operation. As with most problems with number representations, errors can be intermittent. Sometimes the code will work as expected, and other times it will behave in a manner that seems to be totally arbitrary. Consider the following code fragment that makes use of the fact that shifting a value left by one place multiplies the number by 2. By passing in the number to be multiplied and the power of 2 to multiply it by (for example 4 = 22) the correct answer should be passed back from the function after the results are printed for the user to examine. signed int mult_2_to_n (signed int num, int n) { signed int result; result = num << n; printf("%d multiplied by 2^%d %d\n", num, n, result); return result; } Using a signed number as the manipulated integer may cause an error in some cases.

- (Numerical) Write a program that tests the effectiveness of the rand() library function. Start by initializing 10 counters to 0, and then generate a large number of pseudorandom integers between 0 and 9. Each time a 0 occurs, increment the variable you have designated as the zero counter; when a 1 occurs, increment the counter variable that’s keeping count of the 1s that occur; and so on. Finally, display the number of 0s, 1s, 2s, and so on that occurred and the percentage of the time they occurred.arrow_forwardWrite a function int Factorial(int n) to calculate factorial of n.
