Programming Languages (a) Software design is an important process in the software development lifecycle. However, a lot of software developer/house tends to ignore the process. Therefore, provide and explain 2 motivations for software design
b)Two major activities of the software design process include Software Architecture and Detailed Design. Demonstrate how these two activities are being executed.
(1) Do you design software when you “write” a program? What makes software design different from coding?
(2) What is the goal of software design? What would be different if developers went straight to coding without adhering to software design  Suppose that the target virtual machine is stack-oriented and that the stack elements are integer values, and addresses can be stored as integers. Explain which other features are required in such a virtual machine. Invent a simple language of instructions for such a machine and show how it would be used to implement each of the expressions. [10 marks] (c) Suppose that the following rules are proposed as possible optimizations to be implemented in your compiler. expression simplifies to expression (fst e, snd e) → e fst (e1, e2) → e1 snd (e1, e2) → e2

Not all states may have the same interests, and their interests may change. Which theory of International Relations would primarily focus on this approach? Explain what this means. According to this theory, how are a state’s interests created and how can they change?

The incarceration rate and cost savings associated with changing criminal justice policies

/in /by

This tool allows you to estimate the incarceration rate and cost savings associated with changing criminal justice policies. Use the left-hand menu to select a state, and then choose policy changes that involve changes to drug offenses and/or public order and other offenses (which could include sex work).  Explore several options and see how the forecast changes. Try other states as well. To receive credit for this activity, write one cohesive paragraph on this topic and upload it here: Do you think that drug possession/use is a “victimless” crime? If yes, should it be decriminalized to save incarceration costs and avoid criminal records for people who use these substances? If not, what public policy changes might be needed to ensure that people with addiction will receive help rather than prison?
