Some file systems allow disk storage to be allocated at different levels of granularity. for instance, a file system could allocate 8 kb of disk space as a single 8-kb block or as sixteen 512-byte blocks. how could we take advantage of this flexibility to improve performance? what modifications would have to be made to the free-space management scheme in order to support this feature?

Read the code below. what will the computer print if the input for year_variable is 1700? if year_variable == 1776: print("your answer is correct. the declaration of independence was signed in “year_variable”.") elif year_variable < 1776: compute_variable = 1776 - year_variable. print("add “compute_variable“ years to your answer for the correct answer.") elif year_variable > 1776: compute_variable = year_variable - 1776 print("subtract “compute_variable” years from your answer for the correct answer.")

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).
