Q1: Comparison of Von Neumann Architecture and Quantum Computers
Von Neumann Architecture:
Structure: Consists of a CPU, memory, and input/output devices. The CPU includes an
arithmetic logic unit (ALU), control unit, and registers.
Memory: Uses a single memory space for both instructions and data.
Programming: Programs are written in classical programming languages like C, Python,
etc. Instructions are executed sequentially.
Applications: Suitable for general-purpose computing tasks.
Quantum Computers:
Structure: Utilizes qubits instead of classical bits. Key components include quantum
processors and quantum memory.
Memory: Quantum memory can store superpositions of states, enabling parallelism.
Programming: Programs are written using quantum programming languages like Qiskit,
Cirq, or Quipper. Quantum algorithms leverage principles like superposition and
entanglement.
Applications: Ideal for solving complex problems in cryptography, optimization, and
simulation that are infeasible for classical computers.
Q2: Algorithm and Program for Computing Averages
Algorithm:
1. Initialize an array to store the scores of 50 students for 3 tests.
2. Input the scores for each student.
3. Compute the average score for each student.
4. Display the average scores.
5. Extend the algorithm to handle 6 different units.
C Program:
#include <stdio.h>
#define STUDENTS 50
#define TESTS 3
#define UNITS 6
void inputScores(float scores[STUDENTS][TESTS]) {
for (int i = 0; i < STUDENTS; i++) {
printf("Enter scores for student %d:\n", i + 1);
for (int j = 0; j < TESTS; j++) {
printf("Test %d: ", j + 1);
scanf("%f", &scores[i][j]);
}
}
}
void computeAndDisplayAverages(float scores[STUDENTS][TESTS]) {
for (int i = 0; i < STUDENTS; i++) {
float sum = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < TESTS; j++) {
sum += scores[i][j];
}
float average = sum / TESTS;
printf("Average score for student %d: %.2f\n", i + 1, average);
}
}
void inputUnitScores(float unitScores[UNITS][STUDENTS][TESTS]) {
for (int unit = 0; unit < UNITS; unit++) {
printf("Entering scores for Unit %d\n", unit + 1);
for (int i = 0; i < STUDENTS; i++) {
printf("Enter scores for student %d:\n", i + 1);
for (int j = 0; j < TESTS; j++) {
printf("Test %d: ", j + 1);
scanf("%f", &unitScores[unit][i][j]);
}
}
}
}
void computeAndDisplayUnitAverages(float unitScores[UNITS][STUDENTS][TESTS]) {
for (int unit = 0; unit < UNITS; unit++) {
printf("Averages for Unit %d\n", unit + 1);
for (int i = 0; i < STUDENTS; i++) {
float sum = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < TESTS; j++) {
sum += unitScores[unit][i][j];
}
float average = sum / TESTS;
printf("Average score for student %d in Unit %d: %.2f\n", i + 1, unit + 1, average);
}
}
}
int main() {
float scores[STUDENTS][TESTS];
float unitScores[UNITS][STUDENTS][TESTS];
// Input and compute averages for 3 tests
inputScores(scores);
computeAndDisplayAverages(scores);
// Input and compute averages for 6 units
inputUnitScores(unitScores);
computeAndDisplayUnitAverages(unitScores);
return 0;
}
This C program first handles the scores for three tests and then extends to six different units,
computing and displaying the average scores for each student.
