Which term describes accessing files from a computer other than the one where the files are stored.
Maelezo ya Majibu
The term that describes accessing files from a computer other than the one where the files are stored is "remote access". Remote access means that you can access files, data or resources from a different computer or server that is located elsewhere, using a network connection like the internet. This allows you to work with files and data as if they were stored on your local computer, even though they are actually stored on a different computer or server. For example, if you are working from home and need to access files that are stored on your work computer, you can use remote access to connect to your work computer over the internet and access those files. Similarly, if you use cloud storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive, you can access your files from any computer with an internet connection, which is also a form of remote access.

What type of errors occurs when the program is asked to implement an impossible task such as dividing a number by zero?
Maelezo ya Majibu
Dividing a number by zero is an impossible mathematical operation, which leads to a type of error called an "Arithmetic error". When a program encounters such an operation, it is unable to perform the calculation, and it generates an error message to indicate the issue. Arithmetic errors are a type of runtime error because they occur during the execution of the program, rather than during the compilation or writing of the code (syntax errors). Logical errors are different from arithmetic errors because they occur when the program's logic is flawed, leading to incorrect results. So, in summary, dividing by zero results in an arithmetic error because it is a mathematical impossibility that cannot be computed.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The domain name of a website is also its IP address. Every device that connects to the internet, including websites, is assigned a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is a numerical label. However, remembering a long string of numbers is difficult, so domain names were created to serve as more memorable and recognizable names for websites. When you type a domain name into your web browser's address bar, your browser sends a request to a Domain Name System (DNS) server, which translates the domain name into its corresponding IP address. The IP address is then used to locate the website's server on the internet and retrieve the website's content, which is then displayed in your browser. So, while the domain name is what we typically use to identify a website, it ultimately maps to its underlying IP address, which is used to connect to the website's server and retrieve its content.
