Write a function _______ getMaxGradientNeighbor(int nrows, int ncols, int a[][ncols], int row, int col, _______, _______) in C that receives a 2d array of ints and a row and column index as arguments and returns the row and column of the neighbor with the largest absolute difference in value compared to a[row][col]. Given that the output of the function are two values, i.e. a row and a column index, you need to determine the return type and the last two parameters of the function as well (marked with blanks in the function prototype above) Examples: int a[4][4] = {    { 5,  8, 10, 12 },    { 6, 15,  9,  7 },    { 3, 14,  2,  1 },    { 4, 11,  6,  0 }}; 1. getMaxGradientNeighbor(4, 4, a, 0, 1, ___, ___) Input: a[0][1] = 8 Valid neighbors: (0,0) = 5 → |8−5| = 3 (0,2) = 10 → |8−10| = 2 (1,0) = 6 → |8−6| = 2 (1,1) = 15 → |8−15| = 7(1,2) = 9 → |8−9| = 1 Output (1,1) = 15 → |8−15| = 7 2. getMaxGradientNeighbor(4, 4, a, 3, 3, ___, ___) Input: a[3][3] = 0 Valid neighbors: (2,2) = 2 → |0−2| = 2 (2,3) = 1 → |0−1| = 1 (3,2) = 6 → |0−6| = 6 Output (3,2) = 6 → |0−6| = 6

In the video on Brain Images and Research, what was Dr. Dehaene’s (the neuroscientist) analogy about the face and reading?     

The Smith family have three children. At least one of them is boy, and there is no order considered here). Considering all the situations of children’s genders, what is the probability that two are boys and one is a girl ? (Again, note there is no event that all of children are girls)        

True or False:  Results of the meta-analysis conducted by Peijnenborgh et al. (2016), indicated that when using computer-based programs to improve working memory, they worked best with children over 10 years of age and primarily with children who had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
