Another pitfall cited is expecting to improve the overall performance of a computer by improving only one aspect of the computer. Consider a computer running a program that requires 250 s, with 70 s spent executing FP instructions, 85 s executed L/S instructions, and 40 s spent executing branch instructions.

1. By how much is the total time reduced if the time for FP operations is reduced by 20%?

2. By how much is the time for INT operations reduced if the total time is reduced by 20%?

3. Can the total time can be reduced by 20% by reducing only the time for branch instructions?

Write a program that uses a random number generator to generate a two digit positive integer and allows the user to perform one or more of the following operations: a. double the number. b. reverse the digits of the number. c. raise the number to the power of 2, 3, or 4. d. sum the digits of the number. e. if the number is a two-digit number, then raise the first digit to the power of the second digit. f. if the number is a three-digit number and the last digit is less than or equal to 4, then raise the first two digits to the power of the last digit. after performing an operation if the number is less than 10, add 10 to the number. also, after each operation determine if the number is prime. each successive operation should be performed on the number generated by the last operation. your program should not contain any global variables and each of these operations must be implemented by a separate function. also, your program should be menu driven. 7.
