Transferring the control from one process to other process requires saving the state of the old process and loading the saved state for new process. This task is known as context switching.

A relational database is a digital database based on the relational model of data, a database structured to recognize relations between stored items of information. A software system used to maintain relational databases is a relational database management system.

Computer database in which all data is stored in Relations which (to the user) are tables with rows and columns. Each table is composed of records (called Tuples) and each record is identified by a field (attribute) containing a unique value. Every table shares at least one field with another table in 'one to one,' 'one to many,' or 'many to many' relationships. These relationships allow the database user to access the data in almost an unlimited number of ways, and to combine the tables as building blocks to create complex and very large databases.

When a function accepts a variable number of arguments , its prototype cannot provide any information about the number of arguments and type of those variable arguments. Hence the compiler cannot warn about the mismatches. The programmer must make sure that arguments match or must manually insert explicit typecast.

1. Increased speed and memory capacity of microprocessors together with the support for virtual memory and

2. Growth of client server computing

A is incorrect. It is acceptable to use assertions to test the arguments of private methods.

B is incorrect. While assertion errors can be caught, Sun discourages you from doing so.

struct emp

{

     char n[20];

      int age;

};

main()

{

    struct emp e1 = {"Dravid", 23};

   struct emp e2;

   scanf ("%s %d",e2.n, & e2.age);

   if( structcmp (e1,e2) ==0)

        printf ("The structures are equal");

   else

         printf ("The structures are unequal");

}

structcmp ( struct emp x, struct emp y)

{

     if (strcmp (x.n,y.n) ==0)

           if (x.age == y.age)

            return (0);

            return (1);

}

In short, if you nee to compare two structures, you'll have to write your own function to do so which carries out the comparison field by field.
