At-most-once semantic ensures that a given rpc request will not be executed more than once. there is an alternative rpc semantic called at-least-once semantic, which ensures that each request is executed to completion. how do you implement these two semantics? for idempotent operations, which semantic is generally more suitable? can you name an application scenario where these two semantics can be used interchangeably?

Write a method that accepts a string object as an argument and returns the number of words it contains. for instance, if the argument is "four score and seven years ago", the method should return the number 6. demonstrate the method in a program that asks the user to input a string and then passes that string into the method, printing out whatever the method returns.

Given a link with a maximum transmission rate of 32.8 mbps. only two computers, x and y, wish to transmit starting at time t = 0 seconds. computer x sends filex (4 mib) and computer y sends filey (244 kib), both starting at time t = 0. statistical multiplexing is used, with details as follows packet payload size = 1000 bytes packet header size = 24 bytes (overhead) ignore processing and queueing delays assume partial packets (packets consisting of less than 1000 bytes of data) are padded so that they are the same size as full packets. assume continuous alternating-packet transmission. computer x gets the transmission medium first. at what time (t = ? ) would filey finish transmitting? give answer in milliseconds, without units, and round to one decimal places (e.g. for an answer of 0.013777 seconds you would enter "13.8" without the quotes)
