Essential Concepts in Computer Networking
Network Fundamentals & Data Communication
1. Understanding Computer Networks
- A computer network is a collection of computers, servers, mainframes, network devices, and other resources that are connected together to share data and resources. Networks enable communication between devices, either locally (LAN) or over large distances (WAN).
- Usage of Computer Networks:
- Communication: Networks facilitate communication between computers, allowing users to send emails, chat, or transfer files over the
Understanding Set Similarity, Spatial Search, and Graph Algorithms

# 1. Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH)
## 💡 Key Use Cases
– Search: Content relevance via query-document similarity.
– Recommendation: Personalization from feedback.
– Graph algorithms: Relevance from network structure.
Java Singly Linked List Code Example
This document provides a Java code example for implementing a basic singly linked list data structure. The class is named TrainList
and supports common list operations.
Java Linked List Code
The TrainList Class Structure
public class TrainList<X>
{
Node<X> first;
Node<X> last;
Adding Elements
The add Method
Adds an element to the end of the list.
public void add(X value)
{
addLast(value);
}
The addFirst Method
Adds an element to the beginning of the list.

Método para Invertir una Cadena en Java
Este método toma una cadena de texto y devuelve una nueva cadena con los caracteres en orden inverso.
public String invertirCadena(String s) {
String resultado = "";
if (s == null) {
return null; // O manejar como se prefiera
}
for (int i = s.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
resultado = resultado + s.charAt(i);
}
return resultado;
}

Data Communication Fundamentals
Core Concepts in Data Communication
Data Communication: The process of communicating information in binary form between two or more points. It requires four basic elements:
- Transmitter: A device that transmits data.
- Message: The data to be transmitted.
- Medium: The path data takes from source to destination.
- Receiver: The device receiving the data.
Bit: The smallest unit of information and the base unit for communications.
Byte: The minimum continuous set of bits that enables

Networking Fundamentals
LAN vs. WAN
LAN (Local Area Network): Local networking, typically found in homes, businesses, or schools, and geographically limited. It is owned by an independent organization.
WAN (Wide Area Network): Covers a large geographical area and is typically used by service providers.
Network Infrastructure
Hardware: Routers, switches, NICs (Network Interface Cards)
Software: Network operating/management systems, operating systems, firewalls, network security applications
Services: T-
