A Digital Computer

 A digital computer is a digital system that performs various computational tasks. The word "Digital" implies that the information in the computer is represented by variables that take a limited number of discrete values. These values are processed internally by components that can maintain a limited number of discrete states. These discrete values are taken by the decimal digits 0 to 9.

 The first electronic digital systems was developed at 1940s late, it was primarily only used for some numerical computations.

 As we all know a digital computer uses binary number system & it can only understand a binary number. And a binary number has only 2 digits 0 & 1. Let me tell you one more interesting thing is that a binary digit is called "bit" here. That means if we use 0 it means its a bit, and vise versa.

 In a digital computer all information is only represented in group of bits. After using various programming techniques & some algorithms, these group of bits can be made to represent not only binary digits but also different-different kinds of symbols such as Alphabets ,decimal digits etc.

 A group of bits called instructions, when we see a program or any kind of activity is running on a computer that means, there are lot of instructions in back-end who are doing that job. 

 That means all the time a computer hardware & software communicates each others in only binary language and we thought it is too easy to use a computer. Actually when we using a program or a computer it firstly compile or assemble the software code to machine language and we know machine language is binary, so when this machine got these group of instructions then it communicates with their all components of this machine & then it tells that what hardware should go where, to show what user want.

But actually what is going on back end of that computer is very interesting in a computer. Very few peoples wants to know that kind of thing, because sometimes it is very complicated to understand these things.

ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL SYSTEMS:

  • Any digital circuit can be constructed by using switching circuits, because the switching circuit has only two values 0 or 1
  • Special digital devices can be used to store digital data & can hold these data as long as necessary.
  • The fluctuation in voltage or unwanted voltage are not a critical issue for a digital system.

Types of operating systems

Today there are lot of operating systems in the internet but actually they are only based on these main operating systems. What we see on internet is that windows is an OS, Linux is an OS but actually it is not really true. These are true only in simple understanding but when we explore computers more then we see there are lot of types of operating systems available in the market. These are written below...... Batch Operating System Multi-programming OS. Time-sharing or multitasking operating systems Distributed operating System Network operating System Real Time operating System Hard real--time systems Soft real--time systems Batch operating system: These operating system can not interact directly with the computer. Batch processing is a technique in which an Operating System collects the programs and data together in a batch before processing starts.   Multi-programming OS: These type of OS are able to run multiple jobs simultaneously in the memory. For it, memory is considered a...

Application Softwares (types of softwares)

  Application Software:   An application software always works under a system software. These softwares are generally a set of one or more programmes, designed to solve a specific problem, or do a specific task e.g. An application software for payroll processing produces pay slips as the major output, and an application software for processing examination results produces mark sheets as the major output along with some other statistical reports.    And also if a person is writing a program to solve his/her personal and particular problems is also comes under the application software. These programs included in an application software package are called application programmes and who made these programs are also known as application programmers. The most commonly known application software are 1. Word Processing Software: A word processing software enables us to make use of a computer system for creating editing, viewing, formatting, storing retrieving and painting ...

Man in the middle attack types

Types Of Man-In-The-Middle Attacks : Today internet is one of the most essential thing in our normal life and it plays a vital role in every industries. Our demand of internet is growing day by day and it is not going to stop until now.  Man in the middle attack is one of the most common cyber-attack. In this attack an attacker act as a medium between the user and the server when a user send a request to a website for a particular data it can be in any form like login credentials, bank details etc. then server send data to user but when a person is interacting between user & server he/she can see all data. So today i will tell you how an attacker can perform a man in the middle attack ,so just read this blog careful................... 1⃣ IP spoofing:   Every device capable of connecting to the web has an online protocol (IP) address, which is analogous to the road address for your home.  By spoofing an IP address, an attacker can trick you into thinking you’re intera...

why visiting darkweb is not too easy?

DARK WEB :       Today we will talk about Dark-Web ,   the Dark-Web is a WWW(World wide web) content that exists on the internet but we need specific software, system configurations or authorized access to see or make changes in this content. Dark-web is just a part of the internet where 90% of internet data is available right now. The Dark-Web contents are not shown by normal search engines like Google , Bing or other search engines.          The dark-web include small peer to peer and friend to friend networks, as well as large, popular networks such as Tor, Freenet etc. operated by public organizations and individuals.  Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as clean net due to its unencrypted nature. The Tor dark web or onion browsing uses the traffic anonymization technique of onion-routing in the network's top-level-domain suffix .onion REAL WORLD:  If we talk about real world scenarios ...

C programming basics - part 1

Data Types: There are two data types in C programming language - (1)- Primary Data Types  (2)- Secondary Data Types   (1)- Primary Data Types :      Primary data types are those data types which are defined already in the           language. They can be used directly in the program. These data types one of the main important thing in C programming.  There are mainly three types primary data types----- a)- int : For integer values range = -32767 to 32768 b)- float : For float values range = c)- char : For character values range = -127 to 128
