This week, we learn the basics of Inductive reasoning, and how they differ from deductive reasoning. The point of this HWA is to be able to apply that distinction in real-life situations. Distinguishing Deduction and Induction.docx Step 1: Identify any inductive argument you have recently encountered in real-life. This could be from in-person experience, an online article you read, etc. Shorter and simpler are highly recommended at this point. If you search for an article, more scientific or future-oriented articles/arguments are typically good choices, as they tend to argue INDUCTIVELY. Avoid “news reports” that merely provide information, but do not themselves make an argument. Especially “click bait” style lists. If necessary, make sure to CITE (link to) your source. Step 2: In paragraph form, briefly summarize the overall inductive argument. Step 3: Explain why: A) it is indeed an a) argument (not a non-argument), and B) why it is inductive argument, rather than a deductive). Step 4: Explicate the “core” argument in Standard Form (P1, P2, P3…C, as a list). –Make sure to make any inductive indicator words and reasoning explicit. –It should not look like/sound like a deductive argument. *As always, any and all usage of generative A.I. is prohibited!

Shared Instructions Indicate the result of the snippet of code, assuming that it is in a main method of a class. More specifically, you must indicate one of the following: the output of the code, if the code compiles and runs without errors which statement(s) don’t compile (line #s, first line is #1) and why, if the code doesn’t compile when put in a main method the type of runtime error (a class name ending with Exception) and the statement that caused it (line #, first line is #1) if the code compiles but doesn’t run properly Shared Code public class Vehicle { // In Vehicle.java public String toString() { return “vehicle”; } public String fuel() { return “gas”; }}public class Truck extends Vehicle { // In Truck.java public String toString() { return “truck”; }}public class Car extends Vehicle { // In Car.java public String toString() { return “car”; } public String honk() { return “beep”; }}public class Sedan extends Car { // In Sedan.java public String toString() { return “sedan”; }} Unique Snippet Vehicle v = new Car();Truck t = (Truck) v;System.out.print(t.toString());

Analyze the following code snippet and determine its Big-O time complexity. Show your reasoning by identifying how many times each loop executes. public static void analyze(int n) { for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < n*n; j++) { System.out.println(i + "," + j); } }} Outer loop executes: __a__ times Inner loop executes: __b__ times (per outer loop iteration) Big-O Notation: __c__ Growth Rate: __d__ Use this template for your answer (please type fully - you cannot copy): a: [answer in blank a] b: [answer in blank b] ... d: [answer in blank d]
