Draw a behavioral state machine that describes the states of a media player.
For this scenario, media player are initially off. Once the power button is pressed, the media player is turned on. From this point forward, if the power is pressed again at any time, the player will be turned off.
While the player is on, if a song is selected, the media player begins playing the song. Pressing the play/pause button will cause the song to be paused if it is playing and to resume playing if it is already pressed.
If the stop button is pressed, the song is not playing or paused, but the player is still on.
Draw a state diagram that describes the behavior of any video game. (Examples of video game behavior include what actions the player can do, what actions non-player characters can do, or what actions the game itself can do.)
Define "computer environment" in your own words and then investigate the three distinct categories of such an environment.

- Assignment: [NEW YORK] Inoculation with live attenuated vaccines (LAV) such as those used against TB, polio or measles can stimulate the immune system to provide protection against other infectious diseases, including COVID-19, says a new study. People who have been inoculated with one or more LAVs but have no access to the new, specific vaccines against COVID-19 — typically because they are expensive or in short supply — may have some protection during the current pandemic, according to the study. LAVs use a weakened (or attenuated) form of the pathogen or germ that causes a disease. These vaccines are similar to the natural infection they help prevent, and create a strong and long-lasting immune response, often over a lifetime, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). According to the authors of the study published in PNAS, older live attenuated vaccines could also afford protection from other emerging viruses. Attenuated viruses or other pathogens will grow in a vaccinated…arrow_forwardComputer Science Scenario: Suppose you were to let your friend use your computer for a couple of hours in order for them to complete their homework assignments. What kind of precautions would you take before letting them use your computer? In those precautions, what is the logic behind your reasoning? How would your precautions change if this computer was being used by the general public instead?arrow_forwardNumerous ordinary devices (such as amusement park rides, automobiles, elevators, and ovens) that you would not ordinarily identify with a computer or information system are in reality computers or information systems nowadays.

Do the advantages of expanding the computerization of common things outweigh the risks? What are your reasons for or against?arrow_forward

- In at least one paragraph reply to the following: "Artificial Intelligence (AI) is when a computer or robot is designed or programmed to perform tasks by itself as a human would because the actions that are being performed require human intelligence. A computer can indeed be programmed to think for itself. In fact, think of an auto-pilot plane or a self-driving car. These vehicles must be programmed to think about stopping, turning, accelerating, etc. without anyone pushing a button telling it to do so. These types of vehicles are becoming more and more popular and every now and then, you might see someone on the highway sleeping in the drivers seat because their car (probably a Tesla) is doing the driving for them because it is programmed to think for itself, or drive by itself. Another example in the industry where AI comes into play is gaming. In most games, there are actually computer players called "AI's" that act exactly as another player.
