Notes, summaries, assignments, exams, and problems for Computers

This section addresses key concepts regarding digital media processing, file formats, and data requirements.

1. Stereo vs. Mono Audio Data Requirements

   Question: What is the difference between stereo and mono audio?

   Answer: Stereo audio usually requires twice as much data as mono audio.

2. Quickest Audio Format for Web Download

   Question: Which audio format would be quickest to download from a website?

   Answer: AAC (Advanced Audio Coding).

3. Audio File Format Compatibility

   Statement: All audio file formats will work on all media players.

   Answer: FALSE. Compatibility depends on the specific media player and the codecs supported.

4. Defining Bit Depth

   Question: What is bit depth?

   Answer: Bit depth is the number of bits it is possible to have in each sample or frame of

Jabber JID to Email Conversion

def jid2email(jid):
    email = jid[:jid.find('/')]
    return email

if __name__ == '__main__':
    jabber = '[email protected]/quertyy'
    print(jid2email(jabber))

Lists vs. Tuples

Lists are mutable and can be changed by internal operations, whereas tuples are immutable.

Remove Duplicates from String

def remove_dup(string):
    result = []
    for char in string:
        if char not in result:
            result.append(char)
    return ''.join(result)

Identical Character Count

def count_max(in_string):
    d = dict()
    for c in in_string:
        d[c] = d.get(c, 0) + 1
    return max(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1])

# Using collections
from collections import Counter
def counter_max(in_string):
    return Counter(in_

Authentication vs. Authorization: Key Differences

Authentication is the process of verifying that an entity is who they claim to be. Authorization refers to the rules that determine what an authenticated user is permitted to do. For example, Adam may be authorized to create and delete databases, while Usama is only authorized to read them.

These two concepts are orthogonal and independent, yet both are central to security design. Failure to implement either correctly creates vulnerabilities.

Alternative Perspectives on Identity

• Authentication binds a principal to an internal identity representation.
• Authentication verifies an external entity using factors such as what the entity knows, has, or is.
• Authorization verifies the role of an entity to determine

M1: Fundamental Graph Definitions

Walks, Paths, and Circuits

Walk

A Walk is a finite alternating sequence of vertices and edges, beginning and ending with vertices, such that each edge is incident with the vertices preceding and following it. No edge appears more than once in a walk, though a vertex may appear multiple times.

• Closed Walk: A walk that begins and ends at the same vertex.
• Open Walk: A walk that begins and ends at different vertices.

Path

A Path is an open walk in which no vertex appears more than once. The number of edges in a path is called the length of the path. A self-loop can be included in a walk but not in a path. The terminal vertices of a path are of degree 1, and the remaining intermediate vertices are of degree 2.

Circuit
