State the concept of library and user defined functions and their advantages.

 .

In programming, functions are reusable pieces of code that perform specific tasks. There are two types of functions: Library functions and User-define functions.

Library function

Library functions are pre-written functions that are included in programming languages or libraries. These functions have been created and tested by experienced programmers and are available for other programmers to use. Some examples of library functions include print( ) in Python, Math.random( ) in JavaScript and printf( ) in C.

Advantages of using library functions:

  1. They are already written and tested, which saves time and reduces the likelihood of errors.
  2. They are often optimized for performance and memory usage. 
  3. They provide a consistent interface for common programming tasks.
  4. They are often well documented, Making them easier to understand and use.

User-define function

User defined functions, on the other hand are created by programmers to solve specific problems. These functions can be designed to perform any task and can be customized to fit specific needs.

Advantages of using user-define functions:

  1. They can be tailored to specific requirements, making them more flexible then library functions.
  2. They can help to simplify complex programs by breaking them down into smaller more manageable pieces of code.
  3. They promote code reusability and modularity.
  4. They can improve code readability and make programs easier to maintain.
In summary, library function and user-defined functions are both important in programming. Library functions provide a set of pre-written and tested functions that can be used to perform common programming task, while user-defined functions can be created to solve specific problems and promote code reusability and modularity.

Introduction of Computer

.  A computer is an electronic device. It take input and store the data in memory and performing the function to produce accurate result in output device. It is used to type document, send email, play game, browse the web and entertainment.   Characteristics of computer  1 . High speed  Computer is very fast device. It is capable of performing calculation of very large amount of data. The computer has unit of speed in microsecond, nanosecond and even in picosecond. The computer is capable of performing millions of tasks per second. 2. Accuracy  The computer produces highly accurate and reliable result.  It does not make any kind of mistake in calculating. The calculation are 100% error free. The computers perform accurate 'n' number of times. 3. Storage capability A computer has much more storage capability. It can store large amount of data. It can store any type of data such as image, video, text document, audio and many more. 4. Diligence Diligence ...

Introduce Linux, UNIX and Linux distribution.

 . Linux Linux is an open source operating system. The term Linux is actually referred to mean a kernel of Unix like operating system developed by a Finish software architect Linus Torvald. The name Linux is derived from Linus' Unix. Linux was originated from the inspiration of a small Unix like operating system MINIX by A.S Tanenbum. Linux is a complete multiuser, multiprocessing, secure and stable operating system which is also considered as UNIX clone. However no code from the proprietary from AT and T is included in Unix. It has flavor of Unix but is not Unix. UNIX  UNIX is a layered operating system. The innermost layer is the hardware that provides the service for the OS. The operating system, referred to in UNIX as the kernel, interacts directly with the hardware and provides the services to the user program. These user programs don't need to know anything about the hardware. They just need to know how to interact with the kernel and it's up to the kernel to provide ...

Define LAN and WAN

 . Local Area Network (LAN)  A LAN is a network that is used for communicating among computer devices, usually within an office building or home.   LAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as files or hardware devices that may be needed by multiple users • • Is limited in size, typically spanning a few hundred meters, and no more than a mile.  Is fast, with speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps.  Requires little wiring, typically a single cable connecting to each device.  Has lower cost compared to MAN’s or WAN’s.  LAN’s can be either wired or wireless. Twisted pair, coax or fiber optic cable can be used in wired LAN’s. Advantages of LAN :    The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in local Area Network.  Local area network (LAN) provides higher security. Disadvantages of LAN :   Initial cost of installing local area network is quite high.  Unauthorized user can access critical data of an organization in case LAN ad...
