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 grou...

A technical preview of an Operating System

Operating System (OS): An Operating system consists of a set of programs which controls, co-ordinates and supervises the activities of the various components of a computer system. Its function is to link between the computer hardware and the user. An operating system is a software or a series of programmes, which performs various types of functions in order to manage and organize file so". Objectives:  There are lot of objectives of an operating system, actually it covers the birth of a perfect operating system. A user is just like a wanting animal they just want everything. But as a developer we are just tying to make our software more & more better as per user requests. These are some main objectives ------ To describe the basic organization of computer systems. To provide a grand tour of the major components of operating systems. Provide more convenient environment for users. Provide maximum utilized performance to users as per hardware existance.

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 ...

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...

Types of Softwares

Software generally categorized into two types, which are as follows : System Softwares Application Softwares.        System Softwares:      A system software is a set of programs which is designed to control different-different operations and more extend processing capabilities of a computer system. It can perform these functions one or more depending on program requirements on a given task. Supports the development of other application software. Supports the execution of other application software. Handles the effective & efficient use of various hardware resources, such as CPU, memory peripherals etc.  Controls and communicate with the operation of peripheral devices such as printer disk, tape etc.     And system software makes the operation of a computer system more effective and efficient as we can see in its functions. It help the hardware components work together. These programme which are included in a system software p...
