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
A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected. There are different types of circuit breakers made in varying sizes, from small devices that … Read more
Volt and ampere are two measures of electrical current or flow of electrons. They define characteristics of an electricity supply. Voltage is a measure of the pressure that allows electrons to flow while ampere is a measure of the volume of electrons. These measurements of supply allow us to calculate the power a supply can … Read more
What Are P And NP Problem? Computer algorithms take a certain amount of time to solve the problem they are tasked with. Generally, you can roughly estimate how much time an algorithm will take using the number of elements they need to handle. Computer scientists call the number of elements N. Because some algorithms are more … Read more
Continue Statement The continue statement is used for the termination of the current iteration and not the whole loop. The continue statement can include an option optional label that allows the program to jump to the next iteration of a labeled loop statement instead of the current loop. In case, the continue statement needs to … Read more
What Is Anaconda Programming? Anaconda is a free and open source distribution of the Python and R programming languages and it is used in data science, machine learning, predictive analytics, large-scale data processing and deep learning-related applications aiming to simplify package management and deployment. Anaconda is developed and maintained by Anaconda Inc (Continuum Analytics), which … Read more
What Is X64? X64 is a generic name for the 64-bit extensions to Intel’s and AMD’s 32-bit x86 instruction set architecture (ISA). AMD introduced the first version of x64, initially called x86-64 and later renamed AMD64. Intel named their implementation IA-32e and then EMT64. There are some slight incompatibilities between the two versions, but most … Read more
What Is Subnetting? Subnetting is the technique of dividing a network into two or more smaller networks. In Subnetting we create multiple small manageable networks from a single large IP network. This increases routing, enhances the security of the network and reduces the size of the broadcast domain. Subnetting also ensures that traffic destined for … Read more
