Functional Programming Techniques in Haskell: A Practical Guide
1. Merging Two Sorted Lists
Task
Merge two sorted lists into one sorted list.
Solution
Base cases handle empty lists; recursive case merges elements based on comparison.
merge :: [Integer] -> [Integer] -> [Integer]
merge [] ys = ys
merge xs [] = xs
merge (x:xs) (y:ys)
| x <= y = x : merge xs (y:ys)
| otherwise = y : merge (x:xs) ys
2. Splitting a List
Task
Split a list into two approximately equal parts.
Solution
Use pattern matching and recursion to alternate elements into two lists.

Understanding Database Schemas: A Comprehensive Guide
What is a Database?
A database is a collection of related data, which refers to known facts that can be recorded and have implicit meaning.
The Three-Schema Architecture
The three-schema architecture aims to separate user applications from the physical database.
Internal Level (Internal Schema)
- Describes the physical storage structure of the database.
- Uses a physical data model, detailing data storage and access paths.
Conceptual Level (Conceptual Schema)
- Describes the entire database structure for all

Game2048
This code implements the game 2048, including functions for moving cells, checking for blocked states, and managing the game board.

Understanding Number Systems: Types, Concepts, and Applications
Number Systems
A number system is a way of representing numbers using digits or symbols. It consists of three components:
- Base (or Radix): The number of unique digits used in the system.
- Digits: The symbols used to represent numbers. For example, 0-9 in the decimal system.
- Place Value: The value assigned to each digit based on its position.
Types of Number Systems
- Binary (Base 2): Uses 2 digits, 0 and 1.
- Decimal (Base 10): Uses 10 digits, 0-9.
- Octal (Base 8): Uses 8 digits, 0-7.
- Hexadecimal (Base 16): Uses

Attempt all questions. (Maximum word limit: 50)
a. Why does a computer understand only binary language?
Computers understand only binary language because they operate using electrical signals, which have two states: on (1) and off (0). These two states correspond to binary digits, making binary the most efficient and reliable way to represent data and instructions electronically.
b. What are system software and application software? Give examples.
- System software: This includes programs that
