What is computer and its characteristics


 Computer  : 

Computer is an electronic data processing device, which accept and store data input, process the data and generates the output in a required format. computer is made up of integrated  parts (input, control, ALU, storage and output unit) All the part work together to process data so, we can say that a computer is a programmable electronic device accept row data as input and process it with  set of instruction to produce the result as output.

Meaning of computer

The word "computer" comes from the word "compute" which means to "calculate". The word computer is derived from the Latin word compute which means to calculate.

Characteristics of computer

Automatic: It is a automatic machine work by itself without human instruction.

Speed: A computer is a very fast devices. It can perform in a few second, the amount of work that a human being can do in an entire year.

Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system-computer world

  Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system Single partition allocation In this scheme operating system is residing in law memory and user process are executing in higher memory. Advantages It is simple  It is easy to understand and use Disadvantages User job is limited to the size of available memory. It leads to poor Utilization of processor and memory. Multiple-partition allocation  It is the simplest method for allocating  memory is divided memory into several fixed size partitions. Fixed Equal-size partitions It divides the main memory Into equal number of fixed sized partitions, operating system occupies some fixed portion and remaining portion of main memory is available for user processes. Advantages It supports multi programming. A process whose size is less then or equal to the partitions size can be loaded into any available partition. Disadvantages If a program is big to fit in...

Aggregation and Functional dependency in DBMS-computer world

  Aggregation and  Functional dependency in  DBMS Aggregation  In aggregation the relation between two entities is treated as a single entity. In aggregation relationship with its corresponding entity is aggregated into higher level entity . It is the process of compiling information on object, there by obstructing a higher level. On limitation of the ER model is that it can not Express relationship among relationships. The aggregation represent a relationship between a whole object and its component in other word we can say that using aggregation we can express relationship main relationships.  For example center entity offer the course entity act as a single entity in the relationship which is in a relationship with another entity visitor. In the real world if a visitor visits a coaching center they will never inquiry about the course or just about the center instead he will ask the inquiry about both.

HTML sites will be show upon client side Technologies, while  DHTML site will be fast enough upon client side Technologies as most of entries are checked on browser itself and not waste time rendering to server for mistake.  HTML creates a plain web page without any style and scripts called as HTML. Whereas,  DHTML creates a page with HTML, CSS,DOM And scripts called as DHTML.  HTML cannot any server side code but XHTML may contain server side code.  ...
