The XML DOM (document object model) is used the access and management of xml. It is a platform that is language neutral and allows a program or a script to dynamically access a document. It also allows the updation of content as well as the structure and style of the document. It is responsible for the defining of the object and properties of all xml elements as well as to define the methods for their access. There are various methods that can be used in xml dom such as:

- getElementsByTagName: used to call a specific user defined tag.

- setAttribute: used to change the value of an existing attribute.

- appendChild: used to add a child node to another node.

In Visual Basic, the basic syntax of a LINQ query starts with the From clause and ends with the Select or Group By clause. In addition, you can use the Where, Order By, and Order By Descending clauses to perform additional functions, such as filtering data and generating the data in a specific order.

In C#, the basic syntax of a LINQ query starts with the From clause and ends with the Select or group by clause. In addition, you can use the where, orderby, and Orderby descending clauses to perform additional functions, such as filtering data and generating the data in a specific order.

A prompt box allows the user to enter input by providing a text box.

setcookie('variable','value','time');
variable - name of the cookie variable
value     - value of the cookie variable
time       - expiry time

Example:
<?php
setcookie('Test',$i,time()+3600);
?>
Test - cookie variable name
$i - value of the variable 'Test'
time()+3600 - denotes that the cookie will expire after an one hour

There are many algorithms that can be used to analyze the database to check the maintenance of all the data sets that are already present. The different types of cluster models include as follows:

- Connectivity models: these are the models that connect one cluster to another cluster. This includes the example of hierarchical clustering that is based on the distance connectivity of one model to another model. 

- Centroid models: these are the models that are used to find the clusters using the single mean vector. It includes the example of k-means algorithm.

- Distribution models: it includes the specification of the models that are statistically distributed for example multivariate normal distribution model.

- Density models: deals with the clusters that are densely connected with one another in the regions having the data space. 

- Group models: specifies the model that doesn’t provide the refined model for the output and just gives the grouping information

Advantages of 3G:

- Overcrowding is relieved in existing systems with radio spectrum
- Bandwidth, security and reliability are more
- Provides interoperability among service providers
- Availability of fixed and variable rates
- Support to devices with backward compatibility with existing networks
- Always online devices – 3G uses IP connectivity which is packet based
- Rich multi media services are available

Disadvantages of 3G:

- The cost of cellular infrastructure , upgrading base stations is very high
- Needs different handsets.
- Roaming and data/voice work together has not yet been implemented
- Power consumption is high
- Requires closer base stations and are expensive
- Spectrum-license costs, network deployment costs and handset subsidies subscribers are tremendous.

Notices, Warnings and Fatal errors are the types of errors in PHP

Notices: 

Notices represents non-critical errors, i.e. accessing a variable that has not yet been defined. By default, such errors are not displayed to the user at all but whenever required, you can change this default behavior.

Warnings: 

Warnings are more serious errors but they do not result in script termination. i.e calling include() a file which does not exist. By default, these errors are displayed to the user.

Fatal errors: 

Fatal errors are critical errors i.e. calling a non-existent function or class. These errors cause the immediate termination of the script.
