Introduce character set and apply it

 .

In computing, a character set is a collection of characters that can be used in a particular programming language or text encoding system. A character set defines the set of letters, digits, punctuation marks, and other symbols that can be used to represent text in a give context.

One of the most common character sets used in computing is ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), which includes a set of 128 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control characters.

In C programming, character sets are important because they define the set of characters that can be used to write C code, as well as the set of characters that can be input and output by C programs. C users ASCII as its default character set, but it also supports extended character sets such as Unicode.

Here's an example of how character sets can be used in C programming;

#include <stdio.h> int main() { char message[] = "Hello, world!"; // Define a character array printf("%s\n", message); // Output the message to the console return 0; }

In this example, we use the ASCII character set to define a character array called "message" that contains the string "Hello, world!". We then use the "printf" function to output the message to the console.

C also provides a set of standard functions for working with character sets, including functions for converting characters between upper and lowercase, comparing strings, and searching for characters in a string. These functions can be used to manipulate and process text data in C programs. 

Overall, character sets are an important concept in computing and programming and understanding them is crucial for writing programs that handle text data.

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 ...

Open System Interconnect (OSI) Reference Model

 . Open system interconnection (OSI) Model explains how packet travels through various layers to other devices on a network, even if the sender and destination have different types of network media. Layer 1(Physical layer):  Function  To activate, maintain, deactivate the physical connection.  To define voltage and data rates needed for transmission.  To convert the digital bits into electrical signals.  To decide weather the transmission the transmission is simplex, half or full duplex.  Physical layer doesn’t perform the detection and correction of errors. Layer 2 (Datalink layer):  Framing (stream of bits into manageable data units):  The datalink layer divides the stream of bits received from the network layer into frame manageable data units called frames.  Physical addressing (MAC Address):  Data link layer adds a header to header to the frame to define the sender and receiver of the frame. Flow Control (mechanism for overwhel...
