What is a Relational Database? Give the names of any three RDBMS software. (2+3)

Relational Databases
• Databases consisting of two or more related tables are called relational databases

• A typical relational database may have anywhere from 10 to over a thousand tables

• Each column of those tables can contain only a single type of data (contrast this

with spreadsheet columns!)

• Table rows are called records; row elements are called fields

• A relational database stores all its data inside tables, and nowhere else

• All operations on data are done on those tables or those that are generated by table

operations

• Tables, tables, and nothing but tables!

RDBMS

• Relational DBMS software

• Contains facilities for creating, populating, modifying, and querying relational

databases

• Examples:

–Access

–FileMaker Pro

–SQL Server

–Oracle

user clicking a button

Local Variable

Declaring variables (using the var keyword) within a function, makes them local•They are
available only

within the function and hold no meaning outside of it

Scope of Variable

Defining the space in which a variable is effective is known as

defining the scope of a variable. A variable can be either local or global in scope

Array

How a designer makes Structured Design?

Answer: Structured Design: Materials and member type, size, and configuration to carry
loads in a safe and serviceable fashion.

In general, structural design implies the engineering of stationary objects such as buildings
and bridges, or objects that may be mobile but have a rigid shape such as ship hulls and
aircraft frames tructural design involves at least five distinct phases of work, project
requirements, materials, structural scheme, analysis, and design

It is insufficient in most cases, for the designer to consider a solution, a design. He should
evaluate several alternate designs and choose the best in the sense of maximizing such
technical objectives as efficiency, reliability, and maintainability while satisfying such
design constraints as memory size and response time.
Question No: 31 ( Marks: 5 )

What is Turing machine? Who invented it and also explain how a Turing test is conducted?

Answer: A Turing machine is a theoretical device that manipulates symbols contained on a

strip of tape. Despite its simplicity, a Turing machine can be adapted to simulate the logic
of any computer algorithm, and is particularly useful in explaining the functions of a CPU
inside of a computer. The "Turing" machine was designed by Alan Turing in 1937.

The Turing test is a proposal for a test of a machine's ability to demonstrate intelligence. It
proceeds as follows a human judge engages in a natural language conversation with one
human and one machine, each of which tries to appear human. All participants are placed
in isolated locations. If the judge cannot reliably tell the machine from the human, the
machine is said to have passed the test. In order to test the machine's intelligence rather
than its ability to render words into audio, the conversation is limited to a text-only channel
such as a computer keyboard and screen.

If a computer pass the test ,we can say that a machine can think.

Question No: 32 ( Marks: 5 )

What are JavaScript literal and what are its types?

Answer: The raw data that make up the root of data types are called "literals." These are,
in effect, literally what they represent themselves to be. Numbers, strings, and Boolean
values make up the core set of literals in JavaScript. Little mystery exists with literals, but
important differences exist between them. In JavaScript, data types include strings, which
are simply quoted characters, numbers, Boolean, Objects and even a type which has no
value at all, Null. Since JavaScript is a loosely typed language, you don't neccessarily need
to know what type of data every value is (although it certainly helps).

Every piece of data in these categories is known as a value. When a value is referred to
outright in a statement, it is called a literal value. For the same reason people are identified
by names as opposed to "human" or "person", literal values can be named in order to
make repeated reference to them practical, efficent and readable. These names are called
variables.
Literals can be of several types. Some of them are:

Array Literals

Boolean Literals

Floating-Point Literals

Integers

Object Literals

String Literals

Question No: 27 ( Marks: 1 )

How a designer makes Structured Design?

Structured Design is known as a Top-down design.

The designed first conceives about the High level design and then further designs the details of
the high level design components and it goes on and on.

Making small changes in the functionality of the systems sometimes leads to major re-design
exercise. Structured design separates the functionality from programs data and that’s why
program’s deisgned by this methodology are difficult to maintain.

Question No: 31 ( Marks: 5 )

Why microprocessor uses the binary number system and not the decimal or any other number
system?

The processor is the logic of a computer and functions comparably to a human central nervous
system, directing signals from one component to another and enabling everything to happen. A
microprocessor is made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single

semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) . These are made up oof semiconductor and silicon.

Microprocessor are composed of components which has only two states either 0 or 1. Binary
number system is also composed of these two states.

Microprocessor till today only understand the machine language and machine language is only
based on binary number system. Even today’s 64 bit microprocessors are also based on this
technology.

Elaborate Rester Graphics with examples.

A raster graphics image, digital image, or bitmap, is a data file or structure representing a
generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, on a computer monitor, paper, or other
display device.

To illustrate the matter further - here's the letter "J":

Look closely at it... Take a magnifying glass to it if you like. You see a "J", the computer sees
something more like this, where '.' represents a zero and 'X' represents a one:
....X

....X

....X

....X

....X

....X

....X

X...X

X...X

.XXX.

Where you see a zero, the computer instructs its video hardware to paint the current background
color. A one calls for the current foreground color. Yes, it is actually a bit more complicated, but
it all basically boils down to one bit or the other making a distinction

between the colors of adjacent pixels, which together form an image.

Explain briefly the different techniques that are used to embed JavaScript code in a web
page?

Answer., Client-side JavaScript code is embedded within HTML documents in a number of

ways:

 Between a pair of <script> and </script> tags

 From an external file specified by the src attribute of a <script> tag
 In an event handler, specified as the value of an HTML attribute such as onclick or
onmouseover
 As the body of a URL that uses the special javascript: protocol

The following sections document each of these JavaScript embedding techniques in more detail.
Together, they explain all the ways to include JavaScript in web pages -- that is, they explain the
allowed structure of JavaScript programs on the client side

What is an interpreter? Write its one benifit over compiler.

Answere

Interpreter is a program that executes instructions written in a high-level language

An interpreter translates high-level instructions into an intermediate form, which it then

executes. In contrast, a compiler translates high-level instructions directly into machine

language

Compiled programs generally run faster than interpreted programs.

compilation stage during which the whole of the high-level code is translated into

machine instructions in one go. This process can be time-consuming if the program is

long.
The interpreter can immediately execute high-level programs, without waiting for the

completion of the translation process

The choice of which language to use can also depend on the:

-Type of computer the program is to run on,

- Expertise of the programmer

Interpreters: immediate response, but execute code slowly.

Compilers: Takes longer to compile, but super-fast execution.

Question No: 19 ( Marks: 2 )

Whether response time of a microprocessor is greater or less than that of RAM?

A microprocessor incorporates most or all of the functions of a computer's central processing

unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC, or microchipThe first microprocessors emerged in
the early 1970s and were used for electronic calculators, using binary-coded decimal (BCD)
arithmetic in 4-bit words. Other embedded uses of 4-bit and 8-bit microprocessors, such as
terminals, printers, various kinds of automation etc, followed soon after. Affordable 8-bit
microprocessors with 16-bit addressing also led to the first general-purpose microcomputers
from the mid-1970s on.

During the 1960's, computer processors were often constructed out of small and medium-scale
ICs containing from tens to a few hundred transistors. The integration of a whole CPU onto a
single chip greatly reduced the cost of processing power. From these humble beginnings,
continued increases in microprocessor capacity have rendered other forms of computers almost
completely obsolete (see history of computing hardware), with one or more microprocessors
used in everything from the smallest embedded systems and handheld devices to the largest
mainframes and supercomputers.

Since the early 1970s, the increase in capacity of microprocessors has been a consequence of
Moore's Law, which suggests that the complexity of an integrated circuit, with respect to
minimum component cost, doubles every two years

In the late 1990s, and in the high-performance microprocessor segment, heat generation (TDP),
due to switching losses, static current leakage, and other factors, emerged as a leading
developmental constraint

What is software life cycle?

SW Life-Cycle

The sequence of phases a SW goes through from the concept to decommissioning

It is important to think about all those phases before the design work starts

Thinking about the future phases generally results in:

Shorter delivery times

Reduced costs of development

A system of higher quality

A Case in Point

I didn’t discuss with the customer the specs of the HW & OS before developing a

particular e-commerce SW.

I wrote it for the HW/OS that was easily available to me.

Unfortunately that HW/OS combination differed from what was easily available to the

client Result: Huge amount of rework. Higher cost. Delayed delivery. Lower quality.

Therefore, now before designing a SW system, I first write down the installation manual,

and get it OK’d by the customer. I do the same with the Operation & Maintenance

manual as well.

Elaborate greedy algorithm definition with solid example in favour and one counter example?

An algorithm that always takes the best immediate, or local solution while finding an

answer

Greedy algorithms may find the overall or globally optimal solution for some

optimization problems, but may find less-than-optimal solutions for some instances of

other problems

KEY ADVANTAGE: Greedy algorithms are usually faster, since they don't consider the

details of possible alternatives

Greedy Algorithm: Counter Example

During one of the international cricket tournaments, one of the teams intentionally lost a

match, so that they could qualify for the next round

If they had won that particular match, some other team would have qualified

This is an example of a non-greedy algorithm

Greedy Algorithm: Example

A skier skiing downhill on a mountain wants to get to the bottom as quickly as possible

What sort of an algorithm should the skier be using?

The greedy-algorithm approach will be to always have the skies pointed towards the

largest downhill slope (dy/dx), at all times

What is the problem with that approach?

In what situations that will be the best algorithm?

In which situations would it perform poorly?

Insert text: Allows you to insert text anywhere in the document.

delete text: Allows you to erase characters, words, lines, or pages as easily as you can cross them
out on paper.

cut and paste : Allows you to remove (cut) a section of text from one place in a document and
insert (paste) it somewhere else.

copy : Allows you to duplicate a section of text.

page size and margins : Allows you to define various page sizes and margins, and the word
processor will automatically readjust the text so that it fits.

search and replace : Allows you to direct the word processor to search for a particular word or
phrase. You can also direct the word processor to replace one group of characters with another
everywhere that the first group appears.

word wrap : The word processor automatically moves to the next line when you have filled one
line with text, and it will readjust text if you change the margins.

print: Allows you to send a document to a printer to get hardcopy.

file management : Many word processors contain file management capabilities that allow you to
create, delete, move, and search for files.

font specifications: Allows you to change fonts within a document. For example, you can specify
bold, italics, and underlining. Most word processors also let you change the font size and even
the typeface.

footnotes and cross-references: Automates the numbering and placement of footnotes and
enables you to easily cross-reference other sections of the document.

graphics graphics: Allows you to embed illustrations and graphs into a document. Some word
processors let you create the illustrations within the word processor; others let you insert an
illustration produced by a different program.

headers , footers , and page numbering: Allows you to specify customized headers and footers
that the word processor will put at the top and bottom of every page. The word processor
automatically keeps track of page numbers so that the correct number appears on each page.

layout : Allows you to specify different margins within a single document and to specify various
methods for indenting paragraphs.

macros : A macro is a character or word that represents a series of keystrokes. The keystrokes
can represent text or commands. The ability to define macros allows you to save yourself a lot of
time by replacing common combinations of keystrokes.
merges: Allows you to merge text from one file into another file. This is particularly useful for
generating many files that have the same format but different data. Generating mailing labels is
the classic example of using merges.

spell checker : A utility that allows you to check the spelling of words. It will highlight any
words that it does not recognize.

tables of contents and indexes: Allows you to automatically create a table of contents and index
based on special codes that you insert in the document.

thesaurus: A built-in thesaurus that allows you to search for synonyms without leaving the word
processor.

Question No: 18 ( Marks: 2 )

What is an interpreter? Write its one benifit over compiler.

Answere

Interpreter is a program that executes instructions written in a high-level language

An interpreter translates high-level instructions into an intermediate form, which it

then

executes. In contrast, a compiler translates high-level instructions directly into

machine
language

Compiled programs generally run faster than interpreted programs.

compilation stage during which the whole of the high-level code is translated into

machine instructions in one go. This process can be time-consuming if the program is

long.

The interpreter can immediately execute high-level programs, without waiting for the

completion of the translation process

The choice of which language to use can also depend on the:

-Type of computer the program is to run on,

- Expertise of the programmer

Interpreters: immediate response, but execute code slowly.

Compilers: Takes longer to compile, but super-fast execution.

Question No: 19 ( Marks: 2 )

Whether response time of a microprocessor is greater or less than that of RAM?

A microprocessor incorporates most or all of the functions of a computer's central

processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC, or microchipThe first

microprocessors emerged in the early 1970s and were used for electronic calculators,

using binary-coded decimal (BCD) arithmetic in 4-bit words. Other embedded uses of

4-bit and 8-bit microprocessors, such as terminals, printers, various kinds of

automation etc, followed soon after. Affordable 8-bit microprocessors with 16-bit

addressing also led to the first general-purpose microcomputers from the mid-1970s

on.

During the 1960's, computer processors were often constructed out of small and
medium-scale ICs containing from tens to a few hundred transistors. The integration

of a whole CPU onto a single chip greatly reduced the cost of processing power. From

these humble beginnings, continued increases in microprocessor capacity have

rendered other forms of computers almost completely obsolete (see history of

computing hardware), with one or more microprocessors used in everything from the

smallest embedded systems and handheld devices to the largest mainframes and

supercomputers.

Since the early 1970s, the increase in capacity of microprocessors has been a

consequence of Moore's Law, which suggests that the complexity of an integrated

circuit, with respect to minimum component cost, doubles every two years

In the late 1990s, and in the high-performance microprocessor segment, heat

generation (TDP), due to switching losses, static current leakage, and other factors,

emerged as a leading developmental constraint

Question No: 20 ( Marks: 3 )

Write formula for the following expression.

1) If we want to add the value from cell C3 to C10 we can write

2) If we want to add the value of C2 to the value of C4 and than multiply by

C6 , the formula is written for

1.answer formula

=sum(c3:c10) then enter

=(c2+c10Xc6) then enter

Question No: 21 ( Marks: 3 )

How can we enter data in more than one line in an html form?
Question No: 22 ( Marks: 5 )

What is software life cycle?

SW Life-Cycle

The sequence of phases a SW goes through from the concept to decommissioning

It is important to think about all those phases before the design work starts

Thinking about the future phases generally results in:

Shorter delivery times

Reduced costs of development

A system of higher quality

A Case in Point

I didn’t discuss with the customer the specs of the HW & OS before developing a

particular e-commerce SW.

I wrote it for the HW/OS that was easily available to me.

Unfortunately that HW/OS combination differed from what was easily available to

the

client Result: Huge amount of rework. Higher cost. Delayed delivery. Lower quality.

Therefore, now before designing a SW system, I first write down the installation

manual,

and get it OK’d by the customer. I do the same with the Operation & Maintenance

manual as well.

Question No: 23 ( Marks: 5 )

Elaborate greedy algorithm definition with solid example in favour and one counter

example?
An algorithm that always takes the best immediate, or local solution while finding an

answer

Greedy algorithms may find the overall or globally optimal solution for some

optimization problems, but may find less-than-optimal solutions for some instances of

other problems

KEY ADVANTAGE: Greedy algorithms are usually faster, since they don't consider

the

details of possible alternatives

Greedy Algorithm: Counter Example

During one of the international cricket tournaments, one of the teams intentionally

lost a

match, so that they could qualify for the next round

If they had won that particular match, some other team would have qualified

This is an example of a non-greedy algorithm

Greedy Algorithm: Example

A skier skiing downhill on a mountain wants to get to the bottom as quickly as

possible

What sort of an algorithm should the skier be using?

The greedy-algorithm approach will be to always have the skies pointed towards the

largest downhill slope (dy/dx), at all times

What is the problem with that approach?

In what situations that will be the best algorithm?

In which situations would it perform poorly?
