What is the actual hardware that interprets and executes the program (software) instructions and coordinates how all the other hardware devices work together?

The following function returns a string of length n whose characters are all 'x'. give the order of growth (as a function of n) of the running time. recall that concatenating two strings in java takes time proportional to the sum of their lengths. public static string f(int n) { if (n == 0) return ""; if (n == 1) return "x"; return f(n/2) + f(n - n/2); } options: a) constant b) logarithmic c) linear d) linearithmic e)quadratic f)cubic g) exponential

Assume that minutes is an int variable whose value is 0 or positive. write an expression whose value is "undercooked" or "soft-boiled" or "medium-boiled" or "hard-boiled" or "overcooked" based on the value of minutes. in particular: if the value of minutes is less than 2 the expression's value is "undercooked"; 2-4 would be a "soft-boiled", 5-7 would be "medium-boiled", 8-11 would be "hard-boiled" and 12 or more would be a "overcooked".

Consider the following function main: int main() { int alpha[20]; int beta[20]; int matrix[10][4]; . . } a. write the definition of the function inputarray that prompts the user to input 20 numbers and stores the numbers into alpha. b. write the definition of the function doublearray that initializes the elements of beta to two times the corresponding elements in alpha. make sure that you prevent the function from modifying the elements of alpha. c. write the definition of the function copyalphabeta that stores alpha into the first five rows of matrix and beta into the last five rows of matrix. make sure that you prevent the function from modifying the elements of alpha and beta. d. write the definition of the function printarray that prints any onedimensional array of type int. print 15 elements per line. e. write a c11 program that tests the function main and the functions discussed in parts a through d. (add additional functions, such as printing a two-dimensional array, as needed.)
