A multithreaded web server wishes to keep track of the number of requests it services (known as hits). Consider the two following
strategies to prevent a race condition on the variable hits. The first
strategy is to use a basic mutex lock when updating hits:

int hits;
mutex lock hit lock;

hit lock. acquire();
hits++;
hit lock. release();

A second strategy is to use an atomic integer:

atomic t hits;
atomic inc(&hits);

Explain which of these two strategies is more efficient.

Write a grading program for a class with the following grading policies: a. there are two quizzes, each graded on the basis of 10 points. b. there is one midterm exam and one final exam, each graded on the basis of 100 points. c. the final exam counts for 50% of the grade, the midterm counts for 25%, and the two quizzes together count for a total of 25%. (do not forget to normalize the quiz scores. they should be converted to a percentage before they are averaged in.) any grade of 90 or more is an a, any grade of 80 or more (but less than 90) is a b, any grade of 70 or more (but less than 80) is a c, any grade of 60 or more (but less than 70) is a d, and any grade below 60 is an f. the program will read in the student’s scores and output the student’s record, which consists of two quiz and two exam scores as well as the student’s average numeric score for the entire course and final letter grade. define and use a structure for the student reco

Write a program that asks the user to enter the name of an input file. if the file does not exist, the program should prompt the user to enter the file name again. if the user types quit in any uppercase/lowercase combinations, then the program should exit without any further output.
