Determine the values displayed by each cout statement in the following program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int firstnum = 10;  // declare and initialize a global variable
void display();     // function prototype
int main() {
    int firstnum = 20;  // declare and initialize a local variable
    cout << "\nThe value of firstnum is " << firstnum << endl;
    display();
    return 0;
}
void display(void) {
    cout << "The value of firstnum is now " << firstnum << endl;
    return;
}

The Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) utilizes a group of 24 satellites orbiting the Earth. Using "triangulation" and signals transmitted by these satellites, the position of a receiver on the Earth can be determined to within an accuracy of a few centimeters. The satellite orbits are distributed evenly around the Earth, with four satellites in each of six orbits, allowing continuous navigational "fixes." The satellites orbit at an altitude of approximately 11,000 nautical miles [1 nautical mile = 1.852 km = 6076 ft]. Determine the period of each satellite.
