What are source language issues in run time environment?
Run-Time EnvironmentsThe allocation of data objects is managed by the run-time support package, consisting of routines loaded with the generated target code. The design of run-time support package is influenced by the semantics of procedures. Each execution of the procedure is referred to as an activation of the procedure. If the procedure is recursive several of its activations may be alive at the same time.Source Language IssuesProceduresA procedure definition is a declaration that, in its simplest form, associates an identifier with a statement. The identifier is the procedure name, and the statement is the procedure body. Procedures that return values are called function in many languages; however, it is convenient to refer them as procedures. A complete will also be treated as a procedure. When a procedure name appears within an executable statement, we say that the procedure is called at that point. The basic idea is that a procedure call executes the procedure body.Some of the identifiers appearing in a procedure definition are special, and are called formal parameters (or just formals) of the procedure. Arguments known as actual parameters may be passed to a called procedure they are substituted for the formals in the body.Activation TreesWe make the following assumptions about the flow of control among procedure during the execution of a program:Control flows sequentially, that is, the execution of a program consists of a sequence of steps, with control being at some point in the program at each step.Each execution of a procedure starts at the beginning of the procedure body and eventually returns control to the point immediately following the place where the procedure was called. This means the flow of control between procedures can be depicted using trees.Each execution of a procedure body is referred to as an activation of the procedure. The lifetime of an activation of a procedure p is the sequence of steps between the first and last steps in the execution of the procedure called by them and so on. In general the term "lifetime" refers to a consecutive sequence of steps during the execution of a program.If a, b are procedure then their lifetimes are either non-overlapping or are nested. That is if b is entered before a, is left then control must leave b before it leaves a. this nested property of activation lifetime can be illustrated by inserting two print statements in each procedure one before the first statement of the procedure body and the other after the last. The first statement prints enter followed by the name of the procedure and the values of the actual parameters; the last statement prints leave followed by the same information.A procedure is recursive if a new activation can begin before an earlier activation of the same procedure has ended. A recursive procedure need not call itself directly; p may call another procedure q, which may then call p through some sequence of procedure calls. We can use tree, called an activation tree, to depict the way control enters and leaves activations. In an activation tree,1. Each node represents an activation of a procedure,2. The root represents the activation of the main program,3. The node for a is the parent of the node for b if and only if the control flows from activation a to b, and4. The node for a, is to the left of the node for b if and only if the lifetime of a, occurs before the lifetime of b.Since each node represents a unique activation and vice versa it is convenient to talk of control being at a node it is in the activation represented by the node.Control Stacksthe flow of control in a program corresponds to a depth-first traversal of the activation tree that starts at the root ,visits a node before its children, and recursively visits children at each node left to right order. the output in fig 7.2 can therefore be reconstructed by traversing the activation tree in fig7.3,printing enter when the node for an activation is reaches for the first time and printing leave after the entire sub tree of the node has been visited during the traversal.We can use a stack, called a control stack to keep track of live procedure activations. The idea is to push the node for activation onto the control stack as the activation begins and to pop the node when the activation ends.Then the contents of the control stack are related to the paths to the root f the activation tree. When the node n is at the top of the control stack, the stack contains the nodes along the path from n to the root.Example 7.2:fig 7.4 shows nodes from the activation tree of fig 7.3 that that have been reached when control enters the activation represented by q(2,3).Activations with labels r, p(1,9),p(1.3),and q(1,0) have executed to completion, so the figure contains dashed lines to their nodes. The solid lines mark the path from q (2, 3) to the root.At this point the control stack contains the following nodes along this path to the root (the top of the stack is to the right)s, q(1,9),q(1,3),q(2,3) and the other nodes.The Scope of a DeclarationA declaration in a language is a syntactic construct that associates information with a name. Declarations may be explicit, as in the Pascal fragmentVar i : integer;Or they may be explicit. For example, any variable name starting with I is or assumed to denote an integer in a FORTRAN program unless otherwise declared.There may be independent declarations of the same name in the different parts of the program. The scope rules of a language determine which declaration of a name applies when the name appears in the text of a program. In the Pascal program in fig 7.1, i am declared thrice, on lines 4, 9 and 13, and the users of the name i in procedures read array, partition and quick sort are independent of each other. The declaration on line 4 applies to uses of i on line 6.tht is, the two occurrences of i on the line 6 are in the scope of theThe portion of the program to which a declaration applies is called the scope of the declaration applies is called the scope of the declaration .An occurrence of a name in a procedure is called to be local to the procedure if it is the scope of a declaration within the procedure; otherwise, the occurrence is said to be non-local.The distinction between local and the non-local names carries over to any syntactic construct that can have declarations within it.While the scope is a property of the declaration of a name, it is sometimes convenient to use the abbreviation "the scope of a name x" for "the scope of the declaration of name x that applies to this occurrence of x". In this sense, the scope of ion line 17 in fig7.1 is the body of quick sort. At compile time, the symbol table can be to find the declaration that applies to an occurrence of a name. When a declaration is seen, a symbol table entry is created for it. As long as we are in the scope of the declaration, its entry is returned when the name in it is looked up. Symbol tables are discussed in section 7.6a
Why is the Op-code the first part of an instruction loaded into the instruction register of the CPU?
Not necessarily. Some processors (Z80, for example) allow "prefixes" before the op-code.
How do you install Spring Loaded Gate Casters?
To install spring-loaded gate casters, first, position the caster brackets on the gate at the desired height, typically near the bottom corners. Mark the drilling holes and then drill pilot holes for the screws. Attach the brackets securely using screws, ensuring that the spring-loaded mechanism faces outward for proper functionality. Finally, test the gate's movement to confirm that the casters operate smoothly and provide the necessary support.
What is the purpose of a function or procedure?
function is a set of statements that can be executed in the part of the program. ex: to add two nos. using function void main() { int a,b,c; printf("enter the two numbers"); scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); add(a,b); clear(); } void add(int a,int b) { c=a+b; printf("the sum is %d",c); }
What is a FIFO array?
It means that elements are fetched from the array in the same order they arrive - first in, first out (FIFO). Also called a queue.It means that elements are fetched from the array in the same order they arrive - first in, first out (FIFO).

Why is the code between the first and last lines of an event procedure usually indented?
The code on first line of an event procedureÊis usually indented to indicate the beginning. The code on the last line is also indented to indicate the end of an event procedure. This is for easy monitoring.Ê
Was the first event in the Olympics called stade?
yes it was called stade
Can the batter be called out on a bases loaded walk if he does not advance to first?
yes- if goes out of the baseline before he touches first base, he is out.
Who was zara Phillips first horse?
zara phillips first horse was called toytown
What is it called when the second number is a facotor of the first number?
In that event, the first number is called a "multiple" of the second number.
What is reverse bending?
When a cantilever beam is continuously loaded and released from mean position, in one direction only, it is called unidirectional bending, but when it is loaded alternately, first in one direction and then in the opposite direction from mean position, then it is called reversed bending.
What is a first hand record of an event called?

When the first provinces joined to form Canada what was the event called?
Confederation
What is the first major event in a short story called?
the hook, to draw the reader in
What were the games for the first Olympics?
there was only one event it was called sprint or stade
What would a first hand account of a historical event be called?
A primary source.
Why is the windows operation system loaded into memory?
No Programs can function (run) without first being loaded into the computer's Memory. Once loaded, Instructions can be addressed and performed. The same is true for Data. It is first read from its source and them loaded into Memory.
