Basics of computer

Basics of computer and memory


What is machine level language?
➡    It is a low-level language comprised of binary digits(ones and  Zeros).

what is High level language?
➡    Language designed to simplify computer programming. eg, C, C++.

Basic computer architecture


Founder of computer?

Charles Babbage (1791-1871).



First computer in the world

ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first electronic programmable computer built in U.S.



➡    Size of data variables depends on the type of compiler.

Types of memory

what is primary memory?
➡     volatile memory. vanishes up when the system is closed or when it is shut down. stores data temporarily.

Secondary memory?
➡    Non volatile. eg, hard disk, SSD. stores data permanently.

Cache memory?
    It is extremely fast memory type.
    It acts as a buffer between RAM and CPU.
    It holds frequently requested data and instructions so that they are immediately available when               needed.
    It is used to reduce the average time to access data from main memory.



As we go from bottom to top cost of memory increases also,
when we move down the above triangle the speed of memory decreases.

Registers ?
It is a temporary storage area built into a CPU.

Example of complexity of water supply in our daily life.

Relation of above example with the computer memory.

hard disk is like the main supply or source of memory. which is accessed through different levels in computer systems.

GTU OS Program - 11 Filters

Image
11. Shell programming using filters (including grep, egrep, fgrep). The programs that take plain text as standard input and transforms it into a meaningful format, and then returns it as a standard output is known as Filters. Some of the most commonly used filters are explained below: cat head tail sort uniq wc grep tac sed nl 1. cat: Displays the text of the file line by line. Syntax cat [path] Output 2. head: Displays the first n lines of the specified text files. If the number of lines is not specified then by default prints first 10 lines. Syntax head [-number_of_lines_to_print] [path] Output 3. tail: It works the same way as head, but in reverse order. It returns the lines from bottom to up Syntax tail [-number_of_lines_to_print] [path] Output 4. sort: sorts the lines alphabetically by default but we can customize the ...

GTU OOP Program - 17 tic-tac-toe

Image
17). Write a program that displays a tic-tac-toe board. A cell may be X, O, or empty. What to display at each cell is randomly decided. The X and O are images in the files X.gif and O.gif. Note:Due to some reason .gif files were not supporting in my program so instead of .gif images I have used .jpg format images of O and X. import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.image.Image; import javafx.scene.image.ImageView; import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane; import javafx.scene.layout.VBox; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class Program_17 extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception { primaryStage.setTitle("Tic-Tac-Toe by kt"); GridPane gridPane = new GridPane(); for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) { int n = (int) (Math.random() * 3); if (n == 0) gridP...
