conditional expressions based on a single variable of numeric type.

2 What is the difference between goto and longjmp() and setjmp()?

A) goto statement implements a local jump of program execution, and the
longjmp() and setjmp() functions implement a nonlocal, or far, jump of
program
execution. General...

3 What is an lvalue?

A) An lvalue is an expression to which a value can be assigned. The lvalue
expression is located on the left side of an assignment statement,
whereas an
rvalue is located on the ...

4 Array is an lvalue or not?
A) An lvalue was defined as an expression to which a value can be
assigned. Is
an array an expression to which we can assign a value? The answer to this
question is no, because an array...

5 What is page thrashing?
A) Some operating systems (such as UNIX or Windows in enhanced mode)
use virtual
memory. Virtual memory is a technique for making a machine behave as

6 What is a const pointer?

A)The access modifier keyword const is a promise the programmer makes
to the
compiler that the value of a variable will not be changed after it is

7 When should the register modifier be used? Does it really help?

A) The register modifier hints to the compiler that the variable will be
heavily used and should be kept in the CPU's registers, if possible,
so that it
can be accessed faster. There ar...

8 when should the volatile modifier be used?
A) The volatile modifier is a directive to the compiler's optimizer that
operations involving this variable should not be optimized in certain
ways.
There are two special cases in which...

9 Can a variable be both const and volatile?
A) Yes. The const modifier means that this code cannot change the
value of the
variable, but that does not mean that the value cannot be changed by means
outside this code. For instance...

10 How reliable are floating-point comparisons?
A) Floating-point numbers are the "black art" of computer programming. One
reason why this is so is that there is no optimal way to represent an
arbitrary
number. The Institute of Elect...

11 How can you determine the maximum value that a numeric variable can
hold?
A) For integral types, on a machine that uses two's complement arithmetic
(which is just about any machine you're likely to use), a signed type
can hold
numbers from –2(number of bits –...

12 When should a type cast be used?
A) There are two situations in which to use a type cast. The first use
is to
change the type of an operand to an arithmetic operation so that the
operation

15 What is the difference between declaring a variable and defining a
variable?
A) Declaring a variable means describing its type to the compiler but not
allocating any space for it. Defining a variable means declaring it
and also
allocating space to hold the variable

A) You can't declare a static variable without defining it as well
(this is
because the storage class modifiers
static and extern are mutually exclusive). A static variable...

17 What is the benefit of using const for declaring constants?
The benefit of using the const keyword is that the compiler might be
able to
make optimizations based on the knowledge that the value of the
variable will
not change. In addition, th...

Worthy reading

TAKE TIME TO READ. It's worth reading it. Trust me :)




Professor: Student , Do  you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you'll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won't you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

Transistors and Digital Logic Gates

Flow and Pressure

To begin this we will take a brief excursion into electrical engineering by way of plumbing! 

Figure 1. Click to open or close the valve. See what happens to the pressure.

Consider the apparatus in Figure 1. We have a water reservoir and two large pipes joined by a smaller, constricted pipe. The upper pipe is connected to the reservoir and the lower pipe is open. A valve can control flow through the lower pipe. Two pressure gauges measure the pressure in the pipes.

The reservoir is drawn to fit the page; imagine that its capacity is very large -- on the order of that of a municipal water system. In other words, the reservoir will provide water at constant pressure and a high flow rate for a very long time.

When the valve is closed, the pressure is equal on both sides of the constriction. Click on the valve wheel to open or close the valve and observe what happens to the pressure.

When the valve is open, water escapes from the system through the open lower pipe, and the pressure in the lower pipe drops because the rate of supply is limited by the constriction. The pressure above the constriction remains high because of the reservoir supply. In other words, there is a pressure drop across the constricted pipe. The pressure drop occurs only when there is flow through the constriction; when there is no flow, the pressure is constant throughout.

 

Electrical Pressure

Electricity has "pressure" just as water does. Electrical pressure, or electromotive force, is measured in Volts and is often called voltage.  The volume of electrical flow is measured in Amperes and is called current.

A switch is an all-or-nothing device like the valve in Figure 1. There are devices that can impede the flow of electricity, similar to the constricted pipe in Figure 1. These are called resistors and they appear as a sawtooth line in a schematic diagram. The relationship among resistance, current and voltage is described by Ohm's Law,which we will not study here.

What is important to students of digital logic is this: If no current is flowing through a resistor, the voltage at the two ends will be the same; if current is made to flow through the resistor, there will be a voltage drop across the resistor. This is analogous to the pressure drop across the constricted pipe of Figure 1. The pressure drops only when water is flowing.

Consider an electric circuit that is conceptually similar to Figure 1.

Figure 2. Click on the switch to change the state of the circuit.

The circuit of Figure 2. has a switch, a resistor, and two LEDs. The resistor is shown as a sawtooth line. The symbol V_cc indicates the supply voltage. Later we will learn that this supply voltage is common to the collectors of our transistors, hence the name. The striped triangle at the bottom of the diagram is the "ground" symbol and indicates the return to the power source.

In digital logic, it is common to let a "high" voltage, that is a voltage nearly equal to V_cc indicate a logical one, and a "low" voltage -- a voltage near zero -- indicate a logical zero. In the initial state, with the switch open, both LEDs in Figure 2. are on indicating a logical value of one.

Now click on the switch to close it. Closing the switch allows current to flow from V_cc to ground. Because current is flowing, there is a voltage drop across the resistor. The voltage at the lower end, labeled "Output," becomes approximately zero as shown by the extinguished LED. The upper LED remains on because it is connected to V_cc. In future circuits, we will not bother to show the upper LED because it is on all the time.

An important thing to notice about Figure 2. is that the output is true, or one, when the switch is open. This circuit is an inverter; it computes the Boolean NOT function.

 

Transistors as Switches

At last we are ready to start using transistors! A transistor is an electronic device with three elements called the base, the collector, and the emitter. Transistors can function as analog devices and are used in that way in radios, amplifiers, and similar gear. By choosing suitable transistors and providing suitable inputs, they can also function as digital devices -- switches that are either on or off.

Transistors have the property that if a suitable voltage is applied to the base, current can flow between the collector and the emitter. This is exactly like the mechanical switches we've been using except that we control the switching action with voltage instead of mecahnical motion. Switches made in this way can operate at electronic speeds instead of mechanical speeds. The switching speed of a typical transistor is a few nanoseconds -- a few billionths of a second. That's how computers can operate as fast as they do.

Replacing the mechanical switch with a transistor gives the circuit of Figure 3.

Figure 3. An inverter. Click on the pushbutton to change the voltage at the base of the transistor.

The circular element in the schematic diagram represents a bipolar transistor. (Other kinds of transistors can be used in digital logic; they have different symbols.) The transistor has three connections: the collector, the emitter, and the base. When the voltage at the base of the transistor is high enough, current can flow from the collector to the emitter. When the voltage at the base is near zero, no current can flow. The transistor acts like a switch.

The pushbutton in the diagram can be used to apply or remove voltage at the base of the transistor. Click on the pushbutton and observe what happens. When voltage is present at the base of the transistor, current flows from collector to emitter, then to ground, and there is a voltage drop across the resistor. The voltage at the output drops to near zero. Removing the voltage at the base stops the current flow and the output voltage rises to be equal to V_cc.

A transistor used in this way is an amplifier as well as a switch. A voltage lower than V_cc is enough to make the transistor switch on; very little current flows from the base to ground through the emitter. A much larger current flows from collector to emitter and then to ground. The transistor is a current amplifier, but the important part of the circuit is the voltage change at the output, from near V_cc when the transistor is switched off to near zero when the transistor is switched on.

Like the circuit in Figure 2, this circuit is an inverter. The output is high when the input is low and vice-versa. This circuit computes the Boolean NOT function. 

NAND and NOR Gates

Figure 4. A NAND gate. The value of the output is controlled by the two inputs A and B.

The circuit of Figure 3 illustrates some important concepts, but it isn't very interesting. We can do more if we build circuits with two or more inputs. Figure 4. shows a NAND gate. The name NAND is a contraction of not-and. Current can flow, and produce a voltage drop across the resistor, only if both transistors are conducting. Having either transistor switched off is enough to block current flow and hold the output high.

For purposes of this lecture we are going to define a "high" voltage -- a voltage near V_cc -- to indicate a logical 1, or true. A low voltage, near zero will indicate a logical 0, or false. (It is possible to reverse those definitions so long as one is consistent. We will not studynegative logic circuits here.)

 

  Table 1. NAND

	A	B		X
	0	0		1
	0	1		1
	1	0		1
	1	1		0

 Using 1 to represent a high voltage and 0 for low, we can write a truth table that describes the behavior of the NAND gate. Columns A and B of the table represent the two inputs, A and B, of theNAND gate. The X column shows what the output will be for each combination of A and B. The truth table for the Boolean NAND function appears at the left. Experiment with the circuit in Figure 4 and verify that it actually computes the NAND function.

It is clear from the schematic diagram that we could build a NAND gate with more than two inputs. Adding a third transistor in series gives a three-input NAND. As an exercise, write the truth table for a three-input NAND gate. You will have inputs A, B, and C and output X.

Figure 5. A NOR gate. The transistors are connected in parallel.

The NAND gate has its transistors connected in series. Recall from the Electric Circuits Web Lecture that switches can be connected in series or parallel. If we connect transistors in parallel as shown in Figure 5, applying a signal to the base ofeither transistor is sufficient to allow current to flow through the resistor and pull the output voltage to near zero. This is the NOR gate. The name NOR is a contraction of not-or.

  Table 2. NOR

	A	B		X
	0	0		1
	0	1		0
	1	0		0
	1	1		0

Let's look at the truth table for the NOR gate. Again we have inputs A and B and output X. This time, X is true, or 1, only when A and B are both 0. Another way of saying that is that X is 1 when neither A nor B is true. Experiment with the circuit to verify that it computes the function given in Table 2.

As with the NAND gate, the NOR gate can be extended to more than two inputs by adding more transistors, this time in parallel.

Figure 5 makes it obvious why the power supply voltage is called V_cc. It is connected in parallel, or in common, through the resistor to the collectors of both transistors. In a complex digital logic circuit, the same power supply voltage will be connected in common to all the gates.

About now you may be wondering why we started with NAND and NOR gates instead of the more familiar AND andOR functions. There are two reasons, one founded in electrical engineering and one founded in logic.

Although the gates shown here are simplified by comparison to the actual construction of integrated circuits, you could go to an electrical engineering lab and build the circuits of Figures 3, 4, and 5. If you did, they would function just as the animations demonstrate. These three gates, NOT, NAND, and NOR are the simplest possible digital logic gates. Each has only one transistor per input. Any other gate, and in particular the non-inverting gates AND and OR require more transistors.

Even more important is the fact that NAND and NOR are complete. This means that any other digital logic gate can be constructed using only NAND gates or only NOR gates. A manufacturer of integrated circuits can lay down a pattern of one type of gate, and then implement any digital logic function by modifying how the gates are connected.

Digital Logic Symbols

We generally don't draw individual transistors in diagramming digital logic circuits. Instead we use abstraction to suppress unnecessary detail and represent only the required information. We need to show three things about each digital logic gate: the function of the gate, the inputs, and the output. The internal construction of the gate and certain connections are suppressed.

 

Figure 6. Digital Logic Symbols. A. NOT, B.NAND and C. NOR gates.

Figure 6 shows the symbols for the three digital logic gates we have studied in this Web Lecture. The function of each gate is represented by the shape of the symbol. These symbols are variations of the basic digital logic shapes. The triangle represents an amplifier. Adding a circle at the output makes it a NOT gate.

The bullet shape is an AND gate; adding the circle makes it a NAND gate.

The shield shape is an OR gate; with a circle it becomes a NOR gate.

The inputs are shown as wires at the left of each gate, and the output is a wire on the right. Real gates require connections to V_cc and ground in addition to their inputs and outputs. These connections are not shown on digital logic symbols, but are assumed to be present. This is another example of abstraction.

The circle at the output end of each gate is called an inversion bubble. It indicates that the output is inverted. Table 1 is the truth table for a NAND gate; each bit of the output is the complement, or inverse of the corresponding bit for the AND function. Similarly, the truth table for NOR shown in Table 2 is the inverse of theOR function.

We have examined the way three types of digital logic gates are constructed.
