Storage Devices: Types, Uses, and Comparisons
Optical Drives
Optical drives store data as a series of bumps. The way these bumps reflect a laser beam’s light is used to read the data off the disk.
- CDs are used to hold large files and are ideal for storing music and animation files.
- DVDs have a much larger capacity and are used for storing videos and films.
CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read-Only Memory)
Used for the distribution of software and music. With CD-ROM, data is read-only.
DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disk Read-Only Memory)
Used for the distribution

Computer Systems: Hardware, Software, and Data
A computer system is an information processing system based on computers. It is the set of physical elements (hardware) and logical elements (software) that allow the user to process information by equally efficient control of all possible resources.
The Physical Subsystem: Hardware
Hardware is the set of equipment or devices necessary for the effective treatment of information. It consists of electrical and electromechanical devices, circuits, and wires.

Array Insertion
This program demonstrates how to insert a new number into an array at a specified position.
#include <stdio.h>
void insert(int a[], int len, int pos, int num);
int main() {
int a[10];
int len, pos, num;
printf("Enter the number of elements you want in an array\n");
scanf("%d", &len);
printf("Enter %d integers\n", len);
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
scanf("%d", &a[i]);
printf("Enter the number you want to insert in an array\n"Mastering Excel 2007: Interface and Features
Books and Worksheets in Excel
The archives of a spreadsheet are called books. A book is composed of one or more worksheets. In its simplest form, a spreadsheet is a grid of rows and columns where data can be saved and formulas applied. The utility and power of spreadsheets lie in their ability to perform calculations using the information contained in the worksheet. Spreadsheets have the enormous advantage that if some of the data changes, it is not necessary to redo the calculations, since the results

JSP Directives
Directives are labels used in a JSP page, identified by the @ symbol in their syntax:
<%@ Directive_Name [attribute_i = "value"]%>
Their scope is typically page, meaning their action is limited to the page where they are used. They do not return values to the client like expressions or scriptlets, except as generated by their implementation. The JSP 1.1 specification defines three standard directives: page, include, and taglib.
Page Directive
The page directive defines global attributes
