Pakpao has been asked to provide research regarding a new company initiative to add android smartphones to a list of approved devices. one of the considerations is how frequently the smartphones receive firmware ota updates. which of the following reasons would pakpao not list in his report as a factor in the frequency of android firmware ota updates?
a. both oems and wireless carriers are hesitant to distribute google updates because it limits their ability to differentiate themselves from competitors if all versions of android start to look the same through updates. b. because many of the oems had modified android, they are reluctant to distribute updates that could potentially conflict with their changes. c. wireless carriers are reluctant to provide firmware ota updates because of the bandwidth it consumes on their wireless networks. d. because oems and wireless carriers want to sell as many devices as possible, they have no financial incentive to update mobile devices that users would then continue to use indefinitely.

Write a modular program (no classes yet, just from what you learned last year), that allows two players to play a game of tic-tac-toe. use a two-dimensional char array with 3 rows and 3 columns as the game board. each element of the array should be initialized with an asterisk (*). the program should display the initial board configuration and then start a loop that does the following: allow player 1 to select a location on the board for an x by entering a row and column number. then redisplay the board with an x replacing the * in the chosen location. if there is no winner yet and the board is not yet full, allow player 2 to select a location on the board for an o by entering a row and column number. then redisplay the board with an o replacing the * in the chosen location. the loop should continue until a player has won or a tie has occurred, then display a message indicating who won, or reporting that a tie occurred. player 1 wins when there are three xs in a row, a column, or a diagonal on the game board. player 2 wins when there are three ox in a row, a column, or a diagonal on the game board. a tie occurs when all of the locations on the board are full, but there is no winner. input validation: only allow legal moves to be entered. the row must be 1, 2, or 3. the column must be 1, 2 3. the (row, column) position entered must currently be empty (i.e., still have an asterisk in it).

Awide variety of “ apps “ are available to customize devices. which category of app does the word processing software fall into?

File account.java (see previous exercise) contains a definition for a simple bank account class with methods to withdraw, deposit, get the balance and account number, and return a string representation. note that the constructor for this class creates a random account number. save this class to your directory and study it to see how it works. then write the following additional code: 1. suppose the bank wants to keep track of how many accounts exist. a. declare a private static integer variable numaccounts to hold this value. like all instance and static variables, it will be initialized (to 0, since it’s an int) automatically. b. add code to the constructor to increment this variable every time an account is created. c. add a static method getnumaccounts that returns the total number of accounts. think about why this method should be static - its information is not related to any particular account. d. file testaccounts1.java contains a simple program that creates the specified number of bank accounts then uses the getnumaccounts method to find how many accounts were created. save it to your directory, then use it to test your modified account class.
