C Operators: Arithmetic, Logical, and Bitwise Examples

C Operators: Arithmetic, Logical, and Bitwise

Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to perform logical operations. Here are some examples:

  1. AND (&&): Returns 1 (true) if both operands are non-zero; otherwise, 0 (false).
    Example:
    int a = 5, b = 3, c = 2;
    int result = (a > b) && (b > c); // result is 1 (true)
  2. OR (||): Returns 1 (true) if at least one of the operands is non-zero; otherwise, 0 (false).
    Example:
    int a = 5, b = 0, c = 2;
    int result = (a > b) || (b >

Static vs. Dynamic in C++: Key Features

Static and Dynamic in C++

Static

The term “static” in C++ refers to features that involve compile-time behavior, fixed memory allocation, or a class/function being bound to a particular point in time. Static behavior is established at compile-time, meaning decisions about allocation and binding are made before the program runs.

1. Static Variables

Definition:

A static variable retains its value between function calls and is initialized only once. Its lifetime is the entire runtime of the program, but

Understanding Spreadsheets: Concepts, Formulas, and Functions

Understanding Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets originated with the idea of creating programs to perform simple calculations (1974). The first program to load a worksheet was VisiCalc, which allowed for grid calculations.

Initial Concepts

  • Worksheet: A grid that allows calculations with rows and columns.
  • Row: A horizontal series of cells.
  • Cell: An individual box in the worksheet used to enter numeric, alphabetic, or formula-based data.
  • Reference: The name of a cell, used to refer to its contents in formulas.
  • Workbook:

Computer Architecture and Organization Glossary

MAR (Memory Address Register): A CPU register used to hold the address of the memory location being accessed.

1’s Complement Representation: Used in representing binary numbers by complementing each 1 to 0 and each 0 to 1.

2’s Complement Representation: Used in representing binary numbers. Positive values are in sign-magnitude. Negative values are represented by adding 1 to the 1’s complement of the number.

Absolute Address: An address that identifies a memory location without using intermediate references.

Converting Base-R to Decimal

Example: 1101.102 = 1 * 23 + 1 * 22 + 0 * 21 + 1 * 20 + 1 * 2-1 + 0 * 2-2

Converting Decimal to Base-R

For Whole numbers: Repeated division by R until the quotient is 0. The remainders form the answer, with the first remainder being the least significant bit (LSB).

For Fractions: Repeated multiplication by R until the fractional part is 0. The

Software Design Concepts: Analysis, Models, and Architecture

1). Concept Analysis

The analysis concept is basically to understand the business rules and software requirements in order to provide an optimal solution to the problem, with clear aims and objectives. It also defines the scope of the project and the functional and non-functional requirements. It consists of several stages:

  • Recognize the problem: which recognizes the basic elements of the problem as perceived by end users.
  • Evaluation and synthesis, which assesses the information content, defines and
