Collaboration online increases students' motivation by
sparking an interest in a particular subject
introducing them to others with different viewpoints
holding students accountable to others
demanding that students contribute to a group

There is a simple pattern for determining if a binary number is odd. what is it and why does this pattern occur? how many bits would you need if you wanted to have the ability to count up to 1000? how high could you count in binary if you used all 10 of your fingers as bits? (finger up means 1, finger down means 0)

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).

Given int variables k and total that have already been declared, use a while loop to compute the sum of the squares of the first 50 counting numbers, and store this value in total. thus your code should put 11 + 22 + 33 + + 4949 + 50*50 into total. use no variables other than k and total.
