Answer:
Compiler:
Compiler translates the program written in a HLL in one go. The translated code
is then used by the up whenever the program needs to be run.
To run a program you've written, e.g. in JAVA, it must first be translated into machine
code so the computer can read it. This is what compilers and interpreters do.
However, compilers convert the code all at once, save it, and then run it; whereas
interpreters translate the code one line at a time, as it is run.
Interpreters tend to result in faster translating of code so they are used mostly for
debugging. This is because if you used a compiler, you'd have to re-compile your entire
project every time you changed one little thing.
4. Who is a computing professional? (3 marks)
Answer:
Computing professional
• Computer scientists, software engineers, computer engineers, and some of the
Telecom engineers are generally classified as computing professionals.

1. Real Assets:
Real assets are tangible assets that have physical characteristics. For instance,
land, house,
Equipment, car, wheat, fruits, cotton, computers, etc., are different kinds of real
assets.
2. Securities:
Security, also known as a financial asset, is a piece of paper representing a claim
on an asset.
Securities can be classified into two categories.
3. • Direct Securities: Direct securities include stocks and bonds. While
valuing
Direct securities we take into account the cash flows generated by the
Underlying assets.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) technique is often used to determine the value of
a stock or bond.
4. • Indirect Securities: Indirect securities include derivatives, Futures and
Options.
The securities do not generate any cash flow; however, its value depends on the
Value of the underlying asset.
While in this course, direct securities would be discussed at length, the indirect
securities would only be skimmed through in the later chapters.
5. Bonds:
Bonds represent debt. The important features of bonds are given as under.
• Internationally, bonds are the most common way for companies to raise funds.
• A bond is a long-term debt contract (on paper) issued by the borrower (Issuer
of the Bond i.e., accompany that wishes to raise funds) to the lenders
(bondholders or Investors which may include banks, financial institutions, and
private investors).
• Bonds issued by a company are usually shown on the liabilities side of the
Balance Sheet.
• A Bond requires the borrower to pay a pre-determined amount of interest
regularly to the lender (Bondholder). The interest rate or the rate of return on a
bond can be Fixed or Floating. If an Investor purchases a bond which is offering
a rate of 10 % for the life of the bond, the rate would be fixed at 10 percent.
However, if the interest rate on the bond is tied to the market interest rates, the
rate of interest would be floating. The floating rate implies that the interest rate
would fluctuate with any change in the market interest rate.
Types of Bonds:
• Debentures: Unsecured – no asset backing
• Mortgage Bond: Secured by real property i.e. Land, house
• Others: Eurobond, Zeros, Junk, etc.
The details on these different types of bonds would be discussed in later lectures.

How to earn money from Clixsense

2012-09-04T22:52:00.001-07:00

There are 2 ways to earn from clixsense:
First:
On those paid URL’s that you will visit (Clixsense will pay you from .01cent up to $5 per visit of those websites available for you to open.)
Second:
On referring/inviting your friend to join clixsense. They’ll pay you .10cents per person that you can refer and clixsense is giving up to 5 level of downline. Meaning, if your first referral invited a friend, then that friend that she invited will be your second downline…and it goes up to the fifth level.
One thing also about clixsense is that, their premium membership only cost $10 and its for 1 year premium subscription. The inclusive of this premium membership is the automatic 500 links after paying and the whole year benefits to see ads available for regular member and ads available for premium members only.
500 clicks means that clixsense will give you 500 available clicks right away, this is worth $5 so that means you only paid $5 on your 1 year membership.

How to earn from chitika ads

2012-09-04T22:42:00.001-07:00

I am going to tell you how to earn from Chitika ads more effectively that means how to earn Chitika earnings.

(1) FIRST TIP : AD PLACEMENT

Ad placement matters a lot because the number of clicks on ads is directly proportional to the visibility of ads at a particular location. The best location of the ad has already been posted earlier .Check that here for knowing more about ad placement areas and this explains the best and the worst area of ad positioning .This helps in increasing earnings to an extent. This rule applies to not only Chitika but for all the ad programs whether it is adsense or adbrite.

(2) SECOND TIP : INSERT ADS INSIDE BLOG POSTS

Yes, inserting ads inside the blog posts helps in increasing earnings as the probability or the chances of clicks on ads increases. So all the bloggers must try inserting ads inside blog posts .

3) THIRD : - Last but not the least , the Chitika referral programme that can help a great deal in earning revenue.

How Chitika Referral system works:-

Simply if you refer Chitika to a webmaster/friend and he/she signs up for the Chitika ads to display on his site/blog.

It can help you earn 10 % of what your webmaster/friend earns for the first 15 months.

Google Adsense alternatives

2012-09-04T22:36:00.000-07:00

This post will help you to choose an adsense alternative that suits your requirement and most apt. For you.

1) Bidvertiser : I used Bidvertiser as my first ever adsense alternative. Just sign up and you will be given an ad code and pasting that Html ad code will display ads instantly on your site. Minimum payout is $ 10 via Paypal and $ 50 via check. However if you are from India or any Asian country and getting traffic from these countries Bidvertiser is not a good option as an adsense alternative .However If your site or blog is getting Huge amount of traffic then you can use Bidvertiser as your adsense alternative. You can Sign up for an Bidvertiser account from here.

2) Adbrite : Another popular adsense alternative. Offers various formats of ads. Minimum payout same as that of Bidvertiser. However when I used this on my blog, despite getting impressions was not able to earn out of Adbrite , thats why removed Adbrite.
3) Chitika : - Best till now., Currently using it as ad programme on my blog. I must say it works fine as compared to other adsense alternatives. Read more about Chitika here and you can sign up for Chitika account from here.

4) Infolinks : It is In-Text ads that means a particular word gets highlighted and serves as a banner for ads whenever the mouse is dragged over it. Also infolinks offers tag clouds to earn more out of it. You can earn decently out of infolinks. I would suggest Infolinks to be used as an adsense alternative and also it can be used along with Google Adsense.

5) Clicksor : Also serves banner ads. Used this on my blog as an alternative but found Clicksor to be useless for me. Displays poor, low quality ads that why removed it. Also a lot of pop-ups opens while opening a particular page serving Clicksor ads.
Thees are the some easiest way's to make money online with your blog or website.

Cs301 solved subjective midterm past papers

Question: What is Abstraction?
Answer: The importance of abstraction is derived from its ability to hide irrelevant details and
from the use of names to reference objects. Abstraction is essential in the construction of
programs. It places the emphasis on what an object is or does rather than how it is
represented or how it works. Thus, it is the primary means of managing complexity in
large programs.
Question: What is a Class Diagram?
Answer: A class diagrams are widely used to describe the types of objects in a system and their
relationships. Class diagrams model class structure and contents using design elements
such as classes, packages and objects.
Question: What is Method Overriding?
Answer: Method overriding is a language feature that allows a subclass to override a specific
implementation of a method that is already provided by one of its super-classes. A
subclass can give its own definition of methods but need to have the same signature as
the method in its super-class. This means that when overriding a method the subclass's
method has to have the same name and parameter list as the super-class's overridden
method.
Question: What is Operator Overloading?
Answer: The operator overloading is a specific case of polymorphisms in which some or all of
operators like +, - or == are treated as polymorphic (multi) functions and as such have
different behaviors depending on the types of its arguments.
Question: What is Method Overloading?
Answer: The method overloading is the ability to define several methods (in same class) all with
the same name but different on the basis of i) number of parameters ii) types of
parameters.
Question: What is Polymorphisms?
Answer: Polymorphism is a generic term that means 'many shapes'. More precisely Polymorphism
means the ability to request that the same operations be performed by a wide range of
different types of things.
Question: What is Inheritance?
Answer: Ability of a new class to be created, from an existing class by extending it, is called
inheritance.
Question: What is a base class?
Answer: When inheritance is used to create a new class from another, the new class is called the
subclass or derived class, and the class from which it was derived is called the base class.
Question: What is a concrete class?
Answer: A concrete class is one that can be used to directly create, or instantiate objects, unlike an
abstract base class which can only be used as a base class for other classes which
eventually lead to concrete classes
Question: What are data members?
Answer: Objects are miniature programs, consisting of both code and data. The code consists of a
series of member functions. The data items are called data members.
Question: What is a constructor?
Answer: Objects are complete, miniature programs and, like any good programs, have well
defined initialization and termination phases. They have special routines (i.e. member
functions ) to look after this. The initialization routine is called the constructor, and C++
ensures that every object is properly initialized by calling its constructor. The designer of
the object can have more than one constructor, a situation called overloading and then the
compiler will select between them depending on exactly what arguments are passed to the
constructor function. However there must always be a default constructor, to be used
when no information is supplied.
Question: What is a destructor?
Answer: The termination routine is called the destructor, and C++ will provide a default if none is
supplied. If, during the lifetime of the object, it uses heap memory then the designer of
the object must provide a destructor function to release such memory to avoid a memory
leak.
Question: What is global variable?
Answer: Global variables can be accessed throughout a program. Another way to put this is to say
they have global scope.
Question: What is local variable?
Answer: Local variables can only be accessed within the function, or more specifically the
compound statement in which they are declared. Another way to put this is to say they
have local scope.
Question: What is a null pointer?
Answer: A null pointer is a pointer that is currently pointing to nothing. Often pointers are set to
zero to make them null pointers or tested against zero to see if they are null or not.
Question: What is a pointer?
Answer: A pointer is a variable that holds the address of another variable or object.
Question: What is meant by protected?
Answer: The protected keyword in the class statement means that the following members of the
class are not available to users of the objects of the class, but can be used by any subclass
that inherits from it, and consequently forms part of its implementation.
Question: What is OOP?
Answer: The object oriented programming is commonly known as OOP. Most of the languages
are developed using OOP concept. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a
programming concept that uses "objects" to develop a system. An object hides the
implementation details and exposes only the functionalities and parameters it requires to
its client. Here also an object shares the same concept as that of a bike. While driving a
motor bike, we are unaware of its implementation details such as how it is developed,
internal working of gears etc.? We know only the functions or actions it can perform.
Question: What are the various elements of OOP?
Answer: Various elements of OOP are: Object Class Method Encapsulation Information Hiding
Inheritance Polymorphism
Question: What are the characteristics of Object Oriented programming language?
Answer: Some key features of the Object Oriented programming are: Emphasis on data rather than
procedure Programs are divided into entities known as objects Data Structures are
designed such that they characterize objects Functions that operate on data of an object
are tied together in data structures Data is hidden and cannot be accessed by external
functions Objects communicate with each other through functions New data and
functions can be easily added whenever necessary Follows bottom up design in program
design
Question: What are the basic Concepts used in the Object-Oriented Programming language?
Answer: Object Class Data Abstraction and Encapsulation Polymorphism Inheritance Message
passing Dynamic binding
Question: What Is An Object? (Object-Oriented Technology)
Answer: There are many definitions of an object, such as found in [Booch 91, p77]: "An object has
state, behavior, and identity; the structure and behavior of similar objects are defined in
their common class; the terms instance and object are interchangeable". This is a "classical
languages" definition, as defined in [Coplien 92, p280], where "classes play a central role
in the object model", since they do not in prototyping/delegation languages. "The term
object was first formally applied in the Simula language, and objects typically existed in
Simula programs to simulate some aspect of reality" [Booch 91, p77]. Other definitions
referenced by Booch include Smith and Tockey: "an object represents an individual,
identifiable item, unit, or entity, either real or abstract, with a well-defined role in the
problem domain." and [Cox 91]: "anything with a crisply defined boundary" (in context,
this is "outside the computer domain". A more conventional definition appears on pg 54).
Booch goes on to describe these definitions in depth. [Martin 92, p 241] defines: "An
"object" is anything to which a concept applies", and "A concept is an idea or notion we
share that applies to certain objects in our awareness". [Rumbaugh 91] defines: "We define
an object as a concept, abstraction or thing with crisp boundaries and meaning for the
problem at hand." [Shlaer 88, p 14] defines: "An object is an abstraction of a set of realworld
things such that:
Question: What Is Object Encapsulation (Or Protection)?
Answer: [Booch 91, p. 45] defines: "Encapsulation is the process of hiding all of the details of an
object that do not contribute to its essential characteristics." [Coad 91, 1.1.2] defines:
"Encapsulation (Information Hiding). A principle, used when developing an overall
program structure, that each component of a program should encapsulate or hide a single
design decision... The interface to each module is defined in such a way as to reveal as
little as possible about its inner workings. [Oxford, 1986]" Some languages permit
arbitrary access to objects and allow methods to be defined outside of a class as in
conventional programming. Simula and Object Pascal provide no protection for objects,
meaning instance variables may be accessed wherever visible. CLOS and Ada allow
methods to be defined outside of a class, providing functions and procedures. While both
CLOS and Ada have packages for encapsulation, CLOS's are optional while Ada's
methodology clearly specifies class-like encapsulation (Adts). However most objectoriented
languages provide a well defined interface to their objects thru classes. C++ has
a very general encapsulation/protection mechanism with public, private and protected
members. Public members (member data and member functions) may be accessed from
anywhere. A Stack's Push and Pop methods will be public. Private members are only
accessible from within a class. A Stack's representation, such as a list or array, will
usually be private. Protected members are accessible from within a class and also from
within subclasses (also called derived classes). A Stack's representation could be declared
protected allowing subclass access. C++ also allows a class to specify friends (other
(sub)classes and functions), that can access all members (its representation). Eiffel 3.0
allows exporting access to specific classes.
Question: What Is A Class?
Answer: A class is a general term denoting classification and also has a new meaning in objectoriented
methods. Within the OO context, a class is a specification of structure (instance
variables), behavior (methods), and inheritance (parents, or recursive structure and
behavior) for objects. As pointed out above, classes can also specify access permissions
for clients and derived classes, visibility and member lookup resolution. This is a featurebased
or intensional definition, emphasizing a class as a descriptor/constructor of objects
(as opposed to a collection of objects, as with the more classical extensional view, which
may begin the analysis process). Original Aristotlean classification defines a "class" as a
generalization of objects: [Booch 91, p93] "a group, set, or kind marked by common
attributes or a common attribute; a group division, distinction, or rating based on quality,
degree of competence, or condition".
Question: What Is A Meta-Class?
Answer: Meta-Class is a class' class. If a class is an object, then that object must have a class (in
classical OO anyway). Compilers provide an easy way to picture Meta-Classes. Classes
must be implemented in some way; perhaps with dictionaries for methods, instances, and
parents and methods to perform all the work of being a class. This can be declared in a
class named "Meta-Class". The Meta-Class can also provide services to application
programs, such as returning a set of all methods, instances or parents for review (or even
modification). [Booch 91, p 119] provides another example in Smalltalk with timers. In
Smalltalk, the situation is more complex
Question: What Is Inheritance?
Answer: Inheritance provides a natural classification for kinds of objects and allowsfor the
commonality of objects to be explicitly taken advantage of in modeling and constructing
object systems. Natural means we use concepts, classification, and generalization to
understand and deal with the complexities of the real world. See the example below using
computers. Inheritance is a relationship between classes where one class is the parent
base/superclass/ancestor/etc.) class of another. Inheritance provides programming by
extension (as opposed to programming by reinvention [LaLonde 90]) and can be used as
an is-a-kind-of (or is-a) relationship or for differential programming. Inheritance can also
double for assignment
Question: What Is The Difference Between Object-Based And Object-Oriented?
Answer: Object-Based Programming usually refers to objects without inheritance [Cardelli 85] and hence
without polymorphism, as in '83 Ada and Modula-2. These languages support abstract data
types (Adts) and not classes, which provide inheritance and polymorphism. Ada95 and Modula-
3; however, support both inheritance and polymorphism and are object-oriented. [Cardelli 85,
p481] state "that a language is object-oriented if and only if it satisfies the following
requirements: - It supports objects that are data abstractions with an interface of named
operations and a hidden local state. - Objects have an associated type. - Types may inherit
attributes from supertypes. object-oriented = data abstractions + object types + type inheritance
These definitions are also found in [Booch 91, Ch2 and Wegner 87]. [Coad 91] provides another
model: Object-Oriented = Classes and Objects + Inheritance + Communication with messages

What is difference between call by reference and call by value?
One application is to find duplicates in a list of numbers.
Let a given list be" 12 34 56 89 33 11 89
the first number in the list is placed in a node that is established as the root of a binary tree. Each number is
compared with the node in the root, if the number is larger, we search the right sub-tree else we search the left subtree.
If the sub-tree is empty, the number is not a duplicate and this will be added as a new node.
2. Binary trees can be used for sorting a given list such that, if we take the first number as root, the numbers less
than that number will be transfered to left sub-tree and the greater numbers to right sub-tree.
3. Binary trees are also used for developing the huffman codes.

a) Write a C++ statement that declares a valid reference of int i;
b) What is the benefit of reference and where can we use it?
In the last lecture we were discussing about reference variables, we saw three examples; call by
value, call by reference and call by pointer. We saw the use of stack when a function is called by
value, by reference or by pointer. The arguments passed to the function and local variables are
pushed on to the stack. There is one important point to note that in this course, we are using C/C++
but the usage of stack is similar in most of the computer languages like FORTRAN and Java . The
syntax we are using here is C++ specific, like we are sending a parameter by pointer using & sign. In
Java, the native data types like int, float are passed by value and the objects are passed by reference.
In FORTRAN, every parameter is passed by reference. In PASCAL, you can pass a parameter by
value or by reference like C++. You might have heard of ALGOL, this language had provided
another way of passing parameter ca
lled call by name. These kinds of topics are covered in subjects like

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.

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

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.

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":
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.
