1. Declaration statement. Variables are identifiers of memory locations add are used in programs to refer to data. They should be declared prior to their use in the program and data types are required for this. The syntax of variable declaration is:

data type <variable1>
[, <variable2>, <variable3 >,...];
eg., int rollno, age;

2. Assignment statement. A specific data is stored in memory locations (variables) using an assignment operator (=). The statement that contains = is known as assign.. ment statement. It is also a binary operator and the operand to the left of = should be a variable. The operand after = may be a numeric constant, a variable or an expression of numeric type.

Answer 12.
In implicit type conversion, compiler is responsible for the conversion. It always converts a lower type into, higher one and hence it is also known as type promotion,
eg., For example, the expression 5 / 2 * 3 + 2.5 which gives the result 8.5. The evaluation steps are as follows:
Step 1: 5/2 gives 2 (Integer division) Step 2: 2 * 3 gives 6 (Integer multiplication)
Step 3: 6 + 2.5 gives 8.5 (Boating point addition, 6 is converted into 6.0)

1. Syntax errors result when the rules or syntax of the programming language are not followed. Such program errors typically involve incorrect punctuation, incorrect word sequence, undefined term, or illegal use of terms or constructs. In the case of interpreters, the syntax errors will be detected and displayed during execution,

2. The logical error is due to the improper planning of the program’s logic. The language processor successfully translates the source code into machine code if there are no syntax errors. The computer actually follows the program instructions and gives the output as per the instructions. But the output may not be correct. This is known as logical errors. In order to determine whether or not there is a logical error, the program must be tested.

Answer 21.
Base address (Lvalue) 3000

Answer 22.
a. Preprocessor directives. A C++ program starts with preprocessor directives. Preprocessors are the compiler directive
‘ statements which give instruction to the compiler to process the information provided before actual compilation starts. The # include is used to link the header files available in the C++ library. There are some other preprocessor directives such as # define, # undef, etc.

b. Header files. It contains the information about functions, objects and predefined derived data types and they are available along with compiler. The header file ios team contains the information about the objects cin and cout.

c. The main() function. The execution starts at main() and ends within main(). If we use any other function in the program, it is called (or invoked) from main(). The function header main() is followed by its body, which is a set of one or more statements within a pair of braces {}. This structure is known as the definition of the main() function. Each statement is delimited by a semicolon (;).

Answer 23.
C++ provides data type modifiers which help us to alter the size, range or precision. It alters the range of values permitted to a data type by altering the memory size and/or sign of values. Important modifiers are signed, unsigned, long and short.

Answer 24.

# include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
int main()
{
int a;
cout<<“Enter an integer:”; 
cin >> a;
if (a > 0) .
cout<<“The number is positive”;
else if (a < 0) *
cout<<“The number is negative”;
else
cout<<“The number is zero”; return 0;
}

Answer 29.
a. A looping statement has four components: initialization expression, test expression, update expression, loop body. The loop body is the set of statements for repeated execution. The execution is continued as long as the test expression (condition) is true. The variable used in the test expression, called a loop control variable, gets its initial value through the initialization expression (or statement). Update expression changes the value of the loop control variable. Usually, it takes place after each execution of the loop body.

b. while loop. The condition is checked first and if it is found, True the body of the loop will be executed. That is the body will be executed as long as the condition is True. The syntax of a while loop is, initialization of loop control variable;

while (test expression)
{
body of the loop;
updation of Ipop control variable;
}
eg., int k= 1; while(k<=3)
{
cout << k << `\t’;
++k;
}

do while loop. The condition is checked only after executing the loop body. So it is certain that the loop body will be executed at least once in the case of do while loop.

Syntax is:
initialization of loop control variable; 
do
body of the loop;
updation of loop control variable;
}
while (test expression); 
eg., int k = 1; do {
cout << k << At’;
++k;
}
while (k<=3);

Answer 30.
a. The physical or logical arrangement of computers on a network is called structure or topology. It is the geometrical arrangement of computers in a network,
b.
1. Ring topology. All the computers are connected in the shape of a ring and it is a closed-loop. Here also there is no central computer. Here a computer transmits a message, which is tagged along with its destination computer’s Address. The message travels in one direction and each node checks whether the message is for them. If not, it passes to the next node. It requires only short cable length. Its advantages are no signal amplification required because each node do this and requires less cable, so cost-effective. The main disadvantage is if a node fails, the entire network will fail.

2. Bus topology. All the computers are attached to a single cable, called the bus. If anyone node has to send data to another node, it will send the data to the bus. In the bus, the data travels in both directions. The node that needs the data copies it. A small device called terminator connected at both end of the bus removes the data and frees the bus for next transmission. Advantages are added or remove computer is very easy. It requires less cable length and the installation cost is less. A disadvantage is fault detection is very difficult because of no central computer,

c. Hub. It is a small, simple and inexpensive device used to connect computers (devices) to a network. If a computer wants to transmit data to another computer, first it sends to the hub, the hub retransmits this data to all other computers. Each and every computer gets the data and check whether it is for them or not. It increases the network traffic and hence the transmission speed is low.

Switch. It is an expensive device used to connect computers (device) to a network. Unlike a hub, switch transmit data, not to all computers, it retransmits data only to the intended computer. So the traffic is less and the speed is high.

b. M is upper case in main(), no semicolon used in any statements. Operators of sin and cout are wrong. Missing in conditional operator?

Answer 11.
A simple arithmetic statement can be expressed in a more condensed form using arithmetic assignment operators.
eg., a=a+10 can be represented as a+=10. Here += is arithmetic assign* meant operator. The arithmetic assignment operators in C++ are +=, =,*=,/=, %=. These are also known as C++ shorthands. These are all binary operators and the first operand should be a variable. The use of these operators makes the two operations (arithmetic and assignment) faster than the usual method.

A computer can solve problems only when we give instructions to it. If it understands the tasks contained in the instructions, it will work accordingly. An instruction is an action-oriented statement. It tells the computer what operation it should perform. A computer can execute (carry out the task contained in) an instruction only if the task is specified precisely and accurately.

Answer 19.
A sequence of instructions written in a language that is understood by a computer is called a computer program.
The algorithm is a step by step procedure to solve a problem. Each step represents a specific task. These steps help the programmer to write instructions in a programming language.

Answer 20.
Identifiers are the user-defined words that are used to name different program elements such as memory locations, statements, functions, objects, classes etc.

The words (tokens) that convey a specific meaning to the language compiler are called keywords. These are also known as reserved words as they are reserved by the language for special purposes and cannot be redefined for any other purposes.

The advantages of networks are:

1. Resource sharing: All the computers in a network can share software.
2. Reliability: If one computer fails, the other computer can perform the work without any delay.
3. Price Vs Performance: Instead of a main frame 10 personal computers are used with less cost and same performance.
4. Communication medium: It has a powerful communication medium. We can exchange information between computers in a network.
5. Scalable: System performance can be increased by adding computers to a network.

Answer 14.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) uses a set of rules to exchange\messages with other internet points at time information packet level. When data is to be sent from one computer to another over the internet, it is first broken into smaller packets by TCP and then sends. When these packets are received by the receiving computer, TCP submits a request for retransmission else packets are assembled into the original message according to the rules specified in the TCP protocol. Delivery of each packet to the right destination is done by Internet Protocol (IP).

Answer 18.

Answer 19.
It is the stage where programming errors are discovered and corrected, programming errors are known as ‘bugs’and the process of detecting and correcting these errors is called debugging.

The error messages may be displayed by the error-handling function of the language. These errors are known as a runtime error. These errors can be rectified by providing instruction for checking the validity of the data before it gets processed by the subsequent instructions in the program.

The logical error is due to the improper planning of the program’s logic. The language processor successfully translates the source code into machine code if there are no syntax errors. The computer actually follows the program instructions and gives the output as per the instructions. But the output may not be correct. This is known as logical errors.

The error messages may be displayed by the error-handling function of the language. These errors are known as a runtime error. These errors can be rectified by providing instruction for checking the validity of the data before it gets processed by the subsequent instructions in the program.

Answer 20.
a. Tokens or lexical units are the fundamental building blocks of the program. C++ has five types of tokens. They are keywords, identifiers, literals, punctuators, and operators.
b. Identifiers are the user-defined words that are used to name different program elements such as memory locations, statements, functions, objects, classes etc.
The words (tokens) that convey a specific meaning to the language compiler are called keywords. These are also known as reserved words as they are reserved by the language for special purposes and cannot be redefined for any other purposes.

Answer 21.
a. The data type specifies the nature of
data we have to store, the set of operations that can be performed on the data. Predefined data types in C++ are char, int, float, double and void, b. int data types; Integers are whole numbers without a fractional part: They can be positive, zero or negative. The keyword int represents integer numbers. It allows 4 bytes of memory.

char data types. All letters, digits, special symbols, punctuations, etc. come under this category. When these characters are used as data they are considered as char type data in C+ +. The keyword char represents character type data, void data type. The data type void is a keyword and it indicates an empty set of data. It does not require any memory space, float data types.

Numbers with a fractional part are called floating point numbers. The keyword float is used to denote such numbers. It allows 4 bytes of memory, double data type. It is used to store large real numbers. It uses 8 bytes of memory. It can be represented as double.

Answer 22.
Arithmetic operators: These are defined to perform basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The symbols used for this are +,* and / respectively. It provides a special operator, % (modulus operator) for getting remainder during division.
Logical operators: Used to combine relational operations and it gives either true or false.

Answer 23.
a. i. x = x % 20;
ii. a = a + 2;
iii. p = p/5;
b. A specific data is stored in memory lo-cations (variables) using assignment op-erator (=). Here the value 20 is stored in the variable
a. == (equal to) is a relational operator used for comparing numeric data. Here the value 20 is compared with the value stored in the variable a.

Answer 28.
a. Software is a general term used to denote a set of programs that help us to use a computer system and other electronic devices efficiently and effectively. The two types of softwares are:
1. System software: It is a set of one or more programs designed to control the operations of a computer.

• Operating system: It is a set of programs that acts as an interface between the user and computer hard ware.
• Language processors: The instructions to the computer are written in different languages. Various language processors are:

a. Assembler: It converts languages written in assembly language into machine language.
b. Interpreter: It converts a high-level language into machine language by-line by line.
c. Compiler: It translate a high level language into machine language by converting all the lines at a time.

• Utility software: A set of programs which help users in system maintenance tasks and in performing tasks of routine nature. Utility programs are compression tools (WinZip, Win RAR), disk defragmenter (rearranges files on a computer hard disk), backup software.

2. Application software: It is tHe software developed for a specific application. It ineludes general purpose software\(Word Processing software, spreadsheet sbftware, presentation software, database, multimedia), specific purpose software (designed to handle particular tasks).
b. Compiler: It translate a high level lan-guage into machine language by converting all the lines at a time. The errors are provided at the end of the compilation. The programming language that have a compiler are C, C++, Pascal, etc.

Interpreter: It converts a high level language into machine language by line by line. If there is an error in one line, it reports and the execution is terminated. It will continue the translation only after the correction of the error, eg., BASIC is an inter-preted language.
c. It gives the user the freedom to use, copy, distribute, examine, change and improve the software.

Answer 29.
a. Type conversion is the process of con-verting the current data type of a value into another type. It may be implicitly and explicitly converted.
It can be done in two ways:
1. Implicit type conversion: It is performed by C++ compiler internally. In expressions where different types of data are involved, C++ converts the lower sized operands to the data type of the highest sized operand. Since the conversion is always from lower type to higher, it is also known as type promotion.

2. Explicit type conversion: Sometimes the programmer may decide the data type of the result of an evaluation. This is done by the programmer by specifying the data type within parentheses to the left of the operand. Since the programmer explicitly casts a data to the desired type, it is also known as type casting. Usually, type casting is applied on the variables in the expressions.
b. Sometimes the programmer may decide the data type of the result of an evaluation.

This is done by the programmer by sSpecitying the data type within parentheses to the left of the operand. Since the programmer explicitly casts a data to the desired type, it is also known as type casting.
c. a = 3.0 or 3
b = 2.5

Answer 30.
a. Physical or logical arrangement of computers on a network is called structure or topology.
b. Bus topology. All the computers are at-tached to a single cable called the bus. Here one computer transmits all other computers listen. Therefore it is called the broadcast bus. The transmission from any station will travel in both the direction. The connected computers can hear the message and check whether it is for them or not. Advantages are add or remows computer is very easy. It requires less cable length and the installation cost is less,
c. Local Are Network (LAN): This is used to connect computers in a single room or buildings of one location by using twisted pair wire or coaxial cable. Data transfer rate is high and an error rate is less.

Wide Area Network (WAN): This is used to connect computers over a large geographical area. It is a network of networks. Here the computers are connected using telephone lines or Microwave station or satellites. The error rate in rate in data transmission is high, eg., internet.

Answer 24.
An array is a collection of elements of the same type placed in contiguous memory locations.
Algorithm for Linear search
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Accept a value in N as the num­ber of elements of the array
Step 3: Accept N elements into the ar­ray AR
Step 4: Accept the value to be searched in the variable ITEM
Step 5: Set LOC = -1
Step 6: Starting from the first position, repeat Step 7 until the last element
Step 7: Check whether the value in ITEM is found in the current position. If found then store the position in LOC and Go to Step 8, else move to the next posi­tion.
Step 8: If the value of LOC is less than o then display “Not Found”, else display the value of LOC + 1 as the position of the search value.
Step 9: Stop

Answer 29.
Memory is a place where we can store data, instructions, and results in temporarily or permanently. Memory can be  classified into two:
1. Primary memory: Also refers to the main memory. It holds data, intermediate results and results of ongoing jobs; temporarily. This includes mainly; three types of memory.

i.RAM (Random Access Memory): The microprocessor can read from and write to. The contents of RAM are lost when power is switched off. Therefore, RAM is a volatile memory.

ii. ROM (Read Only Memory): It can perform only read operations and its contents cannot be easily altered. ROM is non-volatile; the contents are retained even after the power is switched off. It is used to hold boot up program is known as Basic Input Output System (BIOS). This software runs when the computer is switched on or ‘boots up’. Different types of ROM are PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM)

iii. Cache memory: It is a small and fast memory between the processor and RAM. Frequently accessed data, instructions, intermediate results, etc. are stored in cache memory for quick access. Cache is more expensive than RAM.

iv. Secondary memory: Also known as auxiliary memory. It holds data and information permanently. Various devices in this type are a magnetic storage device (magnetic tape, hard disk), an optical storage device (Compact Disc (CD), Digital Versatile Disk (DVD), Bluray DVD), semiconductor memory (USB flash drive, flash memory cards).2 9. The statements that facilitate the transfer of program control from one place to another are called jump statements.
They are:

• return statement: It is used to transfer control back to the calling program or to come out of a function.
• goto statement: It can transfer the program control to anywhere in the function. The target destination of a goto statement is marked by a label, which is an identifier.
• break statement: When a break statement is encountered in a program, it takes the program control outside the immediately enclosing loop (for, while, do…while) or switch statement. Execution continues from the statement immediately after the control structure.
• continue statement: It is used for skipping over a part of the code within the loop-body and forcing the next iteration. The break statement forces termination of the loop, but continue statement forces next iteration of the loop.
• exit() function: It terminates the pro­gram itself. And can be used in a pro­- gram only if we include the header file process.h.

Answer 30.
1. Personal Area Network (PAN): It is used to connect devices situated in a small radius by using guided media or unguided media.

2. Local Area Network (LAN); This is used to connect computers in a single room or buildings of one location by using twisted pair wire or coaxial ca­ble. Data transfer rate is high and the er­ror rate is less.

3. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): It is a network spread over a city. MAN have lesser speed than LAN and the er­ror rate is less. Here optical fiber cable is used, eg., Cable TV network.

4. Wide Area Network (WAN): This is used to connect computers over a large geographical area. It is a network of net­works. Here the computers are con­nected using telephone lines or Micro­wave station or satellites. The error rate in rate in data transmission is high, eg., internet.

Answer 11.
The letter ‘C’ in cout should be in the small letter. Every C++ statement end with a semicolon!;). After cout the << operator should be used. The correct statement is,
cout<<“Computer Science”;

Answer 12.
Comments are lines in the code that are added to describe the program. They are ignored by the compiler.

1. Single line comment: The characters // (two slashes) is used. The text ap­pearing after // in a line is treated as a comment by the C++ compiler.
2. Multiline comments: Anything writ­ten within /* and */ is treated as comm­ent so that the comment can take any number of lines.

Answer 13.
It is an integer array with name ‘a’. It is initialised at the time declaration | with values 2, 3, 5, 6, 9.

Answer 14.
The memory required depends upon the number of characters stored. A null character ‘\o’ is stored at the end of the string. This character is used as the string terminator and added at the end automatically. So the memory re­quired to store a string will be equal to the number of characters in the string plus one byte for the null character.
eg., char str[ ] = “Hello”;
Here the size of the array is not speci­fied and hence only 6 bytes will be allo­cated
(5 bytes for the string and 1 for ‘\o’).

Answer 15.
Scope of local variables:

1. Declared within a function or a block of statements.
2. Available only within that function or block.
3. Memory is allocated when the func­tion or block is active and freed when the execution of the function or block is completed.

The scope of global variables:

1. Declared outside all the functions.
2. Available to all the functions of the program.
3. Memory is allocated just before the execution of the program and freed when the program stops the execution.

Answer 16.
The hardware and software require­ment for internet:

1. A computer with a modem (inter­nal/external).
2. A telephone connection.
3. An account with an ISP.
4. A browser software.

Answer 17.

Answer 18.
Let i be the variable.
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Let i = 2
Step 3: Print i
Step 4: i = i + 2
Step 5: If i>=1oo, then go to Step 3
Step 6: Stop
b. Better communication: Since a flow­chart is a pictorial representation of a program, it is easier for a programmer to explain the logic of the program to some other programmer through a flow­chart rather than the program itself.

Answer 19.
The CPU consists of three components; Control unit (CU), Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and registers. All the major calculations and comparisons are made inside ALU. CU is responsible for acti­vating and controlling the operations of the units of the computer. Registers are storage locations inside CPU, whose content can be accessed more quickly by the CPU than other memory. They are temporary storage areas for in­structions or data.

Answer 20.
The NAND and NOR gates are called universal gates. A universal gate is a gate which can implement any Boolean function with­out using any other gate type.
NAND gate: This is an AND gate with its output inverted by a NOT gate.

NOR gate: This is an OR gate with its output inverted by a NOT gate.

Answer 21.
1. Problem identification: During this phase, you will be able to identify the data involved in processing, its type and quality, the formula to be used, activities involved and the output to be obtained. This is the challenging phase as it ex­ploits the efficiency of the programmer.

2. Preparing algorithms and flowcha­rts: Once the problem is identified, it is necessary to develop a precise step-by­step procedure to solve the problem. This procedure is not new or confined to computers.

3. Coding the program: The process of writing program instructions to solve a problem is called coding. The program written in any HLL is known as source code.

4. Translation: It is the process of con­verting a program written in a high-level language into its equivalent version in machine language. The compiler or in­terpreter is used for this purpose.

5. Debugging: It is the stage where the project known as ‘bugs’ and the process of de­tecting and correcting these errors is called debugging.

Answer 22.
a = 5
b = 9
c = 4

Answer 23.
Switch:

1. Permits multiple branching.
2. Evaluates conditions with equality operator only.
3. Case constant must be an integer or I a character type value.
4. When no match is found, the default statement is executed.
5. the break statement is required to exit from the switch statement.
6. More efficient when the same vari­able or expression is compared against a set of values for equality.

else if ladder:

1. Permits multiple branching.
2. Evaluates any relational or logical expression.
3. The condition may include a range of values and floating point constants.
4. When no expression evaluates to  True, else block is executed.
5. Program control automatically goes out after the completion of a block.
6. More flexible and versatile compared to switch.

Answer 24.
1. Traversal:  Accessing each element of the array at least once is called tra­versal. We can use this operation to check the correctness of operations dur­ing operations like insertion, deletion etc. Displaying all the elements of an array is an example of traversal,

eg., for (i=o; i,<1o; i++) 
cout<< a[i]<< “\t”;

2. Sorting: It is the process of arrang­ing the elements of the array in some logical order. This logical order may be ascending or descending in case of nu­meric values or dictionary order in case of strings.

3. Searching: It is the process of finding the location of the given element in the array. The search is said to be success­. full if the given element is found, that is the element exists in the array; other­wise unsuccessful. There are basically two approaches to a search operation. They are linear search and binary search.

#include <iostream> 
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
int mat[3][2], i, j; 
cout<<“Enter the elements\n”; 
for(i=o; i<3; i++) 
for(j=o; j<2; j++) 
cin>>mat[i][j]; return o;
}

Answer 26.
1. strlen (): This function is used to find the length of a string, i.e., the number of characters in the string. Its syntax is:
int strlen (string);
eg., n = strlen (“Hello”);
Here returns the number of characters in the string, i.e. 5 to the variable n.

2. strcpy( ): This function is used to copy one string into another. The syntax is: strcpy
(string 1, string 2);
The function will copy string 2 to string 1.
eg., strcpy(s1,s2);

3. strcat( ): This function is used to ap­pend one string to another string. The length of the resultant string is the to­tal length of the two strings. The syn­tax is strcat (string 1, string 2);
The size of the first argument should be able to accommodate both the strings together.
eg., strcat(s1,s2);

Answer 27.
Call by value method:

1. Ordinary variables are used as for­mal parameters.
2. Actual parameters may be con­stants, variables or expressions.
3. The changes made in the formal ar­guments are not reflected in actual ar­guments.
4. Exclusive memory allocation is re­quired for the formal arguments.

Call by reference method:

1. Reference variables are used as for­mal parameters.
2. Actual parameters will be variables only.
3. The changes made in the formal ar­guments are reflected in actual argu­ments.
4. The memory of actual arguments is shared by formal arguments.

Answer 28.
1. a. The physical or logical arrangement of computers on a network is called struc­ture or topology. It is the geometrical arrangement of computers in a net­work.
b. Star, ring, mesh, bus, tree, and hy­brid are the different network topolo­gies.
c. Star topology: It has a server all other computers are connected to it. Advan­tages add or remove workstations to a star network is easy and the failure of a workstation will not effect the other. The disadvantages are that if the server fails the entire network will fail.

2. Bus topology: All the computers are attached to a single cable called the bus. Here one computer transmits all other computers listen. Therefore it is called the broadcast bus. The transmission from any station will travel in both the di­rection. The connected computers can hear the message and check whether it is for them or not. Advantages are added or remove computer is very easy. It requires less cable length and the in­stallation cost is less. The disadvantage is fault detection is very difficult because of no central computer.

Answer 29.
Input devices are:
1. A light pen is a pointing device shaped like a pen. The tip of the light pen con­tains a light-sensitive element which when placed against the screen en­abling the computer to identify the lo­cation of the pen on the screen. The ad­vantage is drawing directly on to the screen.

2. The touch screen allows the user to oper­ate by simply touching on the display screen. It can also be operated using a stylus which gives more precision,

3. The joystick is used for playing video games, controlling training simulators and robots. The joystick has a vertical stick which can move in any direction. It has a button on the top that is used to select the option pointed by the cursor.

4. Keyboard: It is the most common in­put device. It allows the user to input alphabets, numbers and other charac­ters, Keyboard detects the key pressed and generates the corresponding ASCII code which can be recognised by the computer. It has a keyboard layout called the QWERTY design.

5. Mouse: It is a small hand-held device used to indicate the position of a cursor or its movement on a computer display screen by rolling it over a mouse pad/ flat surface. A mouse has one or more buttons and possibly a scroll wheel. The scroll wheel is used for scrolling the screen vertically or horizontally.

Output devices are:

1. Visual Display Unit (VDU): It visu­ally conveys text, graphics, and video information. The information shown on a display device is called soft copy because and is displayed for a temporary period of time.

2. Printers: These are used to produce hardcopy output. Based on the technol­ogy used, they can be classified as im­pact printers and non-impact printers.

3. Plotter: It is an output device used to produce hard copies of graphs and designs on the paper.

4. 3D printer: It is a new generation output device used to print 3D objects. The 3D printing process turns the ob­ject to be printed into thousands of horizontal tiny little layer. These tiny layers stick together to form a solid object.

5. Speaker: It produces sound. The speaker produces sound by the move­ment of the diaphragm in the speaker forward and backward according to the electrical signals coming out of the au­dio port.

Answer 16.
First-generation computers (1940-56):
The first generation computers were built using vacuum tubes. This genera­tion implemented the stored program concept, eg., Electronic Numerical Integra­tor and Calculator (ENIAC), Electronic Dis­crete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC), Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC).

Second-generation computers (1956-63):
In this generation computers, vacuum tubes were replaced by transistors. This allowed computers to become smaller and more powerful and faster. The manufac­turing cost was also less. The concept of programming language was developed. Programming languages FORTRAN and COBOL were introduced, eg., IBM 1401, IBM 1620.

Third generation computers (1964­71):
These are smaller in size due to the use of integrated circuits (IC’s). IC dras­tically reduced the size and increased the speed and efficiency of computing. Keyboards and monitors were intro­duced. The high-level language BASIC was developed during this period, eg., IBM 360, IBM 370.

Fourth-generation computers (1971 onwards):
The computers that we use today belong to this generation. These computers use microprocessors and are called microcomputers use Large Scale of Integration (LSI). These computers are smaller in size and have faster ac­cessing and processing speeds, eg., IBM PC, Apple II.

Fifth-generation computers (future):
These are based on artificial intelli­gence. The fifth-generation computing also aims at developing computing machines that respond to natural lan­guage input and are capable of learn­ing and self-organization.

Answer 17.

Answer 18.
Documentation is an on-going process that starts in the problem study phase of the system and continues till its implementation and operation. We can write comments in the source code as part of the documentation. It provides suffi­cient information in a program to un­derstand its working. If the program is documented, it helps to understand the logic we applied. It helps the debugging process as well as program modification at a later stage.

Answer 19.
1. Preprocessor directives:
A C++ pro­gram starts with preprocessor direc­tives. Preprocessors are the compiler directive statements which give instruction to the compiler to process the information provided before ac­tual compilation starts. The #include is used to link the header files available in the C++ library. There are some other pre-processor direc­tives such as #define, #undef, etc.

2. Header files:
It contains the informa­tion about functions, objects, and pre­defined derived data types and they are available along with compiler. The header file stream contains the information about the objects cin and court.

3. The main( ) function:
The execution starts at main ( ) and ends within main ( ). If we use any other function in the program, it is called (or in­voked) from the main Q. The function header main ( ) is followed by its body, which is a set of one or more statements within a pair of braces { }. This structure is known as the definition of the main f) function. Each statement is delimited by a semicolon (;).

Answer 20.
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Accept a value in N as the num­ber of elements of the array.
Step 3: Accept N elements into the array AR.
Step 4: Repeat Steps 5 to 7, (N -1) times.
Step 5: Repeat Step 6 until the second last element of the list.
Step 6: Starting from the first position, compare two adjacent eleme­nts in the list. If they are not in proper order, swap the elements.
Step 7: Revise the list by excluding the last element in the current list.
Step 8: Print the sorted array AR.
Step 9: Stop

Answer 21.
Call by value method:
1. Ordinary variables are used as formal parameters.
2. Actual parameters may be constants, variables or expressions.
3. The changes made in the formal ar­guments are not reflected in actual arguments.
4. Exclusive memory allocation is required for formal arguments.

eg., void change find n)   
{  
n = n + 1;
cout << “n =” << n << ‘\n’;
}
int main( )
{
int x = 20; 
change( ); 
cout << “x = ” << x;
}

Here only the value of the variable x is passed to the function. Thus the formal parameter n in the function will get the value 20. When we increase the value of n, it will not affect the value of the variable x. The output of the above code is n = 21, x = 20 Call by reference method:

1. Reference variables are used as formal parameters.
2. Actual parameters will be variables only.
3. The changes made in the formal ar­guments are reflected in actual ar­guments.
4. The memory of actual arguments is shared by formal arguments.

eg., void changefint & n)
{
n = n + 1;
cout << “n = ” << n << ‘\n’;
}
int mainf)
{
int x=20;
change(x);
cout << “x = ” << x;
}

Here the output will be n = 21, x = 21

Answer 22.
The network is classified based upon the amount of geographical area that covers.
1. Personal Area Network (PAN): It is used to connect devices situated .in a small radius by using guided media or unguided media.

2. Local Area Network (LAN): This is used to connect computers in a single room or buildings of one location by using twisted pair wire or coaxial cable,  Data transfer rate is high and the error rate is less.

3. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): It is a network spread over a city,  MAN have lesser speed than LAN and the error rate is less. Here optical fi- J ber cable is used, eg., Cable TV net­work.

4. Wide Area Network (WAN): This is used to connect computers over a large geographical area. It is a net­work of networks. Here the comput­ers are connected using telephone lines or Microwave station or satel­lites. The error rate in data transmis­sion is high, eg., internet.

Answer 23.
When an e-mail is sent from your com­puter, it first reaches the e-mail server of our e-mail service provider. From there the e-mail is routed to the recipi­ents e-mail server through the internet. The recipient’s e-mail server delivers the e-mail to recipients inbox which stores the message. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used e-mail com­munication.

Answer 24.
Functional units of a computer are based on a model proposed by John Von Neu­mann. It consists of some functional units namely Input Unit, Central Pro­cessing Unit (CPU), Storage Unit and Output Unit.

1. Input unit. The collected data and the instructions for their processing are entered into the computer through the input unit. They are stored in the memory (storage unit). The data may be in different forms. Keyboard, mouse, scanner, mic, digital cam­era, etc. are some commonly used in­put devices.

2. Central Processing Unit (CPU). The CPU is the brain of the computer. In a computer system, all major computations and comparisons are made inside the CPU. It is also responsible for activating and controlling the operations of other units of the com­puter. The functions of CPU are per­formed by three components; Arith­metic Logic Unit (ALU), Control Unit (CU), Registers.

3. Storage unit. The data and instruc­tions entered in the computer through input unit are stored inside the computer before actual process­ing starts. The information or results produced after processing are also stored inside the computer, before transferring to the output unit. The intermediate results, if any, must also be stored for further processing.

4. Output unit. The information ob­tained after data processing is sup­plied to the outside world through the output unit in a human-readable form. Monitor and printer are the commonly used output devices.

Answer 26.
Call by value method:
1. Ordinary variables are used as for­mal parameters.
2. Actual parameters may be con­stants, variables or expressions.
3. The changes made in the formal ar­guments are not reflected in actual ar­guments.
4. Exclusive memory allocation is re­quired for the formal arguments

Call by reference method:

1. Reference variables are used as for­mal parameters.
2. Actual parameters will be variables only.
3. The changes made in the formal ar­guments are reflected in actual argu­ments.
4. Memory of actual arguments is shared by formal arguments. Call-by-value:

eg., eg., void change(int n)
{
n = n + 1;
cout << “n =” << n << ‘\n’;
}
int main()
{
int x = 20; change(x); cout << “x = ” << x;
}

Here only the value of the variable x is passed to the function. Thus the formal parameter n in the function will get the value 20. When we increase the value of n, it will not affect the value of the variable x. The output of the above code
is n = 21, x = 20

Call-by-reference: void change(int & n)
{
n = n + 1;
cout << “n = ” << n << ‘\n’;
}
int main()
{
int x=20;
change(x);
cout << “x = ” << x;
}
Here the output will be n = 21, x = 21

Answer 27.
The scope of local variables:
1. Declared within a function or a block of statements.
2. Available only within that function or block.
3. Memory is allocated when the func­tion or block is active and freed when the execution of the function or block is completed.
The scope of global variables:
1. Declared outside all the functions.
2. Available to all the functions of the program.
3. Memory is allocated just before the execution of the program and freed when the program stops execution.

eg., #include <iostream>
using namespace std; int cubefint n)
{
int cb;
cout<< “The value of x passed to n is” << x; 
/*This is an error because the vari­able x is declared within the main() func­tion. 
So it cannot be used in other func­tions. */
cb = n * n * n;
return cb;
}
int main()
{
int x, result;
cout << “Enter a number : ”;
cin >> x;
result = cube(x);
cout << “Cube = ” << result;
cout << “\nCube = ”<<cb;
}

In the above program, the scope of the var­iable CB is in the cube( ) function because it is declared within that function. Hence this variable cannot be used out­side the function. This scope is known as local scope.

Answer 28.
System software is a set of one or more programs designed to control the opera­tions of a computer.
The following are components of system software:
1. Operating system: It is a set of pro­grams that acts as an interface between the user and computer hardware. The primary objective of an operating sys­tem is to make computer system con­venient to use. The operating system is the most important system software.

2. Language processors: Language pro­cessors are software used to convert programs written in assembly language or high-level language into ma- 1 chine language.

Various language processors are:
a. Assembler: It converts languages written in assembly language into the ma­chine language.

b. Interpreter: It converts a high-level language into machine language by-line by line. If there is an error in one line, it reports and the execution is ter­minated. It will continue the transla­tion only after the correction of the er­ror. eg., BASIC is an interpreted lan­guage.

c. Compiler: It translates a high-level language into machine language by converting all the lines at a time. The errors are provided at the end of the compilation. The programming lan­guage that have a compiler are C, C++, Pascal, etc.

d. Utility software: A set of programs which help users in system mainte­nance tasks and in performing tasks of routine nature.

Utility programs are:
a. Compression tools: Large files can be compressed so that they take less storage area. Compression of files is known as zipping and decompression is called unzipping, eg., WinZip, WinRAR.

b. Disk defragmenter: It is a program that rearranges files on a computer hard disk. This enables the computer to work faster and more efficiently.

c. Backup software: It duplicating the disk information so that in an event of disk failure or in an event of accidental deletion, this backup may be used. Backup utility programs facilitate the backing up of the disk.
