Technical Questions

Output may vary from compiler to compiler.

The order of evaluation of the arguments to a function call is unspecified.

We encounter cycle stealing in the context of Direct Memory Access (DMA). Either the DMA controller can use the data bus when the CPU does not need it, or it may force the CPU to temporarily suspend operation. The latter technique is called cycle stealing. Note that cycle stealing can be done only at specific break points in an instruction cycle.

Java is one of the small number of languages that support at the language level for the creation and management of threads. However, because threads are managed by the java virtual machine (JVM), not by a user-level library or kernel, it is difficult to classify Java threads as either user- or kernel-level.

The special thread a dispatcher will execute when no ready thread is found.

Virtual memory is hardware technique where the system appears to have more memory that it actually does. This is done by time-sharing, the physical memory and storage parts of the memory one disk when they are not actively being used.

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
  int num,i,f,r,sum=0,temp;

  printf("Enter a number: ");
  scanf("%d",&num);
 
  temp=num;
  while(num){
      i=1,f=1;
      r=num%10;

      while(i<=r){
         f=f*i;
        i++;
      }
      sum=sum+f;
      num=num/10;
  }
  if(sum==temp)
      printf("%d is a strong number",temp);
  else
      printf("%d is not a strong number",temp);

  return 0;
}

Sample output:
Enter a number: 145
145 is a strong number

SCSI - Small computer systems interface is a type of interface used for computer components such as hard drives, optical drives, scanners and tape drives. It is a competing technology to standard IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics).

To achieve maximum efficiency and reliability a mode of operation known as symmetric multiprocessing is used. In essence, with SMP any process or threads can be assigned to any processor.
