Malloc () The malloc () function stands for memory allocation. It is a function which is used to allocate a block of memory dynamically from the heap. The heap is an area of memory where something is stored. Calloc reserves memory space of specified size and returns the null pointer pointing to the memory location. … Read more
What Is Kernel? The Kernel is the central module of an operating system (OS). It is the part of the operating system that loads first and it remains in the main memory. Typically, every operating system has a kernel. The kernel is responsible for memory management, process and task management and disk management. It also … Read more
What Is BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor)? A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a three terminal electronic device that amplifies the flow of current. The bipolar junction transistors are formed by sandwiching either n-type or p-type semiconductor layer between pairs of opposite polarity semiconductor layers. In bipolar junction transistor (BJT), electric current is conducted by both … Read more
In computer science and engineering, finite state machines (FSMs) serve as essential tools for modeling and analyzing systems with discrete behaviors. Among the diverse range of FSMs, the Mealy machine and Moore machine stand as two major variants, each exhibiting various characteristics and applications. While both machines share the common foundation of a finite set … Read more
Array and Linked Lists are types of data structures. A data structure is a method for organizing a set of data. The structure is defined by how the data is stored and how operations, such as data access, insertion and deletion are performed on the stored data. Data structures are essential tools for programmers, as … Read more
What Is Holography? Holography is the science and practice of making holograms. A hologram on the other hand, is a physical structure that uses light diffraction to make an image. A holographic image can be seen by looking into an illuminated holographic print or by shinning a laser through a hologram and projecting the image … Read more
An interrupt is said to be masked when it has been disabled or when the CPU has been instructed to ignore it. In this regard we have two classes of interrupts maskable and non-maskable interrupts. Maskable Interrupt A maskable interruptis a hardware interrupt that may be ignored by setting a bit in an interrupt mask … Read more
Cell Splitting Cell splitting is the process of subdividing a congested cell into smaller cells, such that each smaller cell has its own base station and a correspondingly reduced antenna height and reduced transmitter power. What You Need To Know About Cell Splitting A congested cell is subdivided into smaller cells. Cell splitting increase the … Read more
Printers are classified into two types according to whether or not the image printed is formed by striking an ink ribbon against the paper. In this regard, printers are either classified as either: What Is An Impact Printer? An Impact printer is a type of printer that operates by striking a metal or plastic head … Read more
What Is .NET Core? .NET Core is a free and open source, managed computer software framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Linux and MacOS operating systems. It is a cross-platform successor to .NET Framework. The project is primarily developed by Microsoft and released under MIT License. .NET Core is usually a better … Read more
