Object-Oriented Programming

Purpose: To manage complex data structures and programs within an organized framework. A data object is not simple; it contains several well-structured components.

Class

Classes are object declarations, also definable as object abstractions. A class is a static construct describing common behavior and attributes. It’s formalized through a data structure, including data and functions called methods. Methods define behavior. Every class has two key methods:

  • Constructor: Called

Kadane’s Max Sum Subarray

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

int maxSubarraySum(vector<int>& arr) {
    int maxSoFar = arr[0], currentMax = arr[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < arr.size(); i++) {
        currentMax = max(arr[i], currentMax + arr[i]);
        maxSoFar = max(maxSoFar, currentMax);
    }
    return maxSoFar;
}

int main() {
    vector<int> arr = {-2, 1, -3, 4, -1, 2, 1, -5, 4};
    cout << maxSubarraySum(

Disk Organization

A disk comprises several disks or plates that store information on their surfaces. This information is organized in concentric tracks, further divided into sectors. Tracks are arranged in cylinders, where a cylinder consists of all tracks occupying the same position across various plates. Reading all tracks within a cylinder avoids head movement, which is time-consuming.

The drive reads/writes data to a disk sector by sector, storing the data in a buffer. Interleaving, a technique

Understanding the Transport Layer and Its Protocols

Posted by on Nov 27, 2024 in Computers | 0 comments

The Transport Layer is the layer at end hosts. It lies between the application and network layer and allows communication between processes on hosts using a transport protocol. A process is an instance of an application, e.g., browser, Netflix client, etc. The network layer allows communication between hosts. Transport Protocols provide logical communication between processes. Common transport protocols are TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol). TCP provides connection-
