What Is An Inline Function? The inline functions are a C++enhancement feature to increase the execution time of a program. In an inline function, a function call is directly replaced by an actual program code. It does not jump to any block because all the operations are performed inside the inline function. Compiler replaces the … Read more

Static RAM and Dynamic RAM are both types of Random Access Memory (RAM).  A random access memory is a random-access memory device that allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory. RAM is typically used to store working … Read more

What Is Modulation? Modulation is the process of encoding information from a massage source in a way that is suitable for transmission. This is achieved by altering the characteristics of a wave. By superimposing a message on to a high frequency signal referred to as carrier wave (or sinusoidal signal), video, voice and other data … Read more

Linker A linker is a computer program that takes one or more objects generated by a compiler or an assembler and combines them into a single executable program. Computer programs are usually made up of multiple modules that can separate object files, each being a compiled computer program.  The program as a whole refers to … Read more

LED (Light Emitting Diode) A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. Early LEDs produced only red light, but modern LEDs can produce several different colors including red, green and blue … Read more

What Are Combinational Circuit (CC)? Combinational circuits are circuits made up of inputs, outputs and two or more logic gates. A logic gate is a basic building block of any electronic circuit. The circuits have no memory, timing or feedback loops, there operation is instantaneous.  A combination logic circuit performs an operation assigned logically by … Read more

What Is Fork ( )? Fork is a function in UNIX operating system that is used to generate a duplicate of particular process by creating two simultaneous executing processes of a program. These two processes are typically called the ‘’parent’’ and ‘’child’’ processes. They use multitasking protocols to share system resources. When fork creates a … Read more

Memory allocation can be described as a process of assigning the physical or the virtual memory address space to a program (its instructions and data). The two basic methods of memory allocation are: Static Memory Allocation Dynamic Memory Allocation What Is Static Memory Allocation? Static memory allocation is the allocation of memory at compile time, … Read more

What Is Single Precision? Single precision is a format proposed by IEEE for representation of floating-point number. It occupies 32 bits in a computer memory; it represents a wide dynamic range of numeric values by using a floating radix point. A floating-point variable can represent a wider range of numbers than a fixed-point variable of … Read more

What Is An Adder? An adder is a digital circuit that performs addition of numbers. In many computers and other kinds of processors adders are used in the arithmetic logic units or ALU. They are also used in other parts of the processor, where they are used to calculate addresses, table indices, increment and decrement … Read more
