The Questions Are of a Organization of Programming course.
A variable can be characterized by a collection of attributes. What is one such attribute? The response is Implicit heap-dynamic allocation. Why is the response that?
Does static type binding require the programmer to specify the type of the variable in the program? Please Explain the answer and why it is the answer.
A certain variable is assigned a value. At that time, new storage is allocated for that variable to fit the new value. What kind of allocation was most likely used? Please provide an answer and please explain why the answer is the answer.

For a classroom demonstration, a professor built an RL circuit similar to the one shown in the figure, with e m f = 6.00 V, L = 5.80 mH, and R = 3.80 Ω.
A rectangular circuit contains a battery of emf ℰ on its left side, with the positive terminal above the negative terminal. An open switch S is on the top side, an inductor L is on the right side, and a resistor R is on the bottom side.
(a) What is the inductive time constant of the circuit (in ms)? _________________ms
(b) Calculate the current in the circuit (in A) 250 µs after the switch is closed. _________________A
(c) What is the value of the final steady-state current (in A)? A (d) After what time interval (in ms) does the current reach 80.0% of its maximum value? _____________ms

Case 6: Project Resource Management
Several people working on the Healthy You Intranet Project are
confused about their responsibilities for the testing portion of
the project. Recall that the team members include you, a
programmer/analyst and junior/assistant project manager; Ivan, a
network specialist; Helen, a business analyst; and Bonnie, another
programmer/analyst. Paul Sparks is the project manager, and he has
been working closely with managers in other departments to make
sure everyone knows what’s going on with the project.
The main tasks for testing include writing a test plan, unit
testing and integration testing for each of the main system modules
(registration, tracking, and incentives), system testing, and user
acceptance testing.
In addition to the project team members, a team of user
representatives is available to help with testing, and Paul has
also hired an outside consulting firm ABC Digital to help as
needed.
One of the issues Paul identified is the ability to work
effectively with the user group during testing. According to MBTI
classifications, Paul knows that several of his project team
members are very introverted and strong thinking types, while
several members of the user group are very extroverted and strong
feeling types.
Prepare a responsibility assignment matrix (RAM) based on the
information from this case.
3. Prepare a RACI chart (use the template) to help clarify roles
and responsibilities for these testing tasks. Document key
assumptions you make in preparing the chart.
