Chapter 4 :- Memory, Storage Devices and Data Representation

Summary

Memory is a part of computer where data and instructions are stored. A computer deals with different type of memories. Two major types of computer memories are (i) primary (main) memory and (ii) secondary (auxiliary) memory.

Information in a memory of a digital computer is stored in form of binary digits (0 and 1).A group of 8 bits is known as byte.

Primary Memory :- Primary memory, also known as main memory It is made of larger number of cells. Each cell is identified by a number called an address of the cell. This is known as Random Access Memory (RAM)

FIFO Stand for :- First in First Out

LIFO Stand for :- Last in First Out

RAM is volatile memory. There are two basic types of the RAM. The first one is static and second is dynamic. Dynamic RAM (DRAM) needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second. Static RAM (SRAM) docs not need to the refreshed.

Computers also contain Read Only Memory (ROM) which are used to permanently record data and instructions.

A variation of a ROM is a Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM)

There is a special type of PROM called Erasable PROM (EPROM). Erasable PROM (EEPROM). EEPROMS are very useful in manufacturing

Secondary Memory Primary memory is generally costly and has capacity limitation. The popular secondary storage devices are hard disk, compact disks (CDs), digital versatile disks (DVDs), and pen drives. Secondary memory is not directly accessible to processor of a computer but requires use of computer's input/output channels.

Binary Number System The binary number system has two symbols 0 and 1. Single binary digit is called a bit

Class 10th Chapter 7 Functions in Calc

Functions in Calc Calc provide built-in standard functions for mathematical, logical, statistical, date and time, financial and other calculations on numbers and text. The process of inserting a function is similar for all functions.That is, to use a function we need to enter a correct spelling of the function along with necessary arguments. This is known as syntax of the functions. t is possible to loose the grip on it and easy to introduce errors. To avoid this, you may take help of function wizard. The Calc support some more functions that support logical decision making. These functions are AND, OR, and NOT. (1) In which of the following ways we can enter a function in Calc ? (a) Directly typing function name in a cell nan (b) Function wizard or selecting from tool bar (c) A and B both (d) Depends on functions (2) A function can start with which of the following options ? (a) '='sign (b) Alphabets (c) Numbers (d) Any of these (3) Which of the following is not a logical...

11. Write a Java program to input basic salary of an employee and calculate its Gross salary according to following: Basic Salary <= 10000 : HRA = 20%, DA = 80% Basic Salary <= 20000 : HRA = 25%, DA = 90% Basic Salary > 20000 : HRA = 30%, DA = 95% Static Solution :- class salary { public static void main(String args[]) { double basic=20000.50,gross,da,hra; if(basic <=10000) { da = basic * 0.8; hra = basic *0.2; } else if(basic <=20000) { da = basic * 0.9; hra = basic *0.25; } else { da = basic * 0.95; ...
