The journey of a byte has two parts.

1.part that takes place inside the memory:

  • statement calls the operating system.
  • file manager (which is a part of the operating system which deals with I/O) will

- check if the operation is permitted

- locate the physical location where the byte will be stored

- find out if the sector (of the located physical location) is already in memory (in case it is not then call the I/O buffer)

- put the byte in the I/O buffer

- keep the sector in memory to see if more bytes will be written on the same file

2.part that takes place outside the memory:

  • I/O processor will wait for an external data path to become available
  • disk controller:

- I/O processor asks the disk controller if the disk drive is available for writing

- instructs the disk drive to move its read/write head to reach the right sector

- disk reaches the right sector and the byte is written

1 bytes is equal to how many bits?

One byte is usually 8 bits, but some computer systems used a 9-bit byte. A bit is a Binary digit. (0 or 1)And a nibble is a 4-bit byte. Sometimes used in simple machines such as washing machine or toaster.Back in early telegraphy days, paper tape was used for machine telegraphy. Its data was represented by 5 holes that could be punched across the width of a paper tape. Thus one could have 25 (= 32) characters.This became supplanted by paper tape with 8 possible holes in a row. Thus 28 different characters could be represented. (256 characters).A version of this was called ASCII code, American Standard Code for Information Interchange. And the electro-mechanical Teletype was the apparatus commonly used. This was in the (relatively recent) days before alpha-numeric symbols on an CRT screen.Anyway, hence the 8-bit Byte.


What is range variable?

The range of a pointer variable is the range of addressable memory. For a 32-bit system there are 2^32 addresses ranging from 0x0 to 0xffffffff. Address 0x0 is a reserved address and is used to indicate a pointer refers to no object in particular (points to null). Depending on the word-alignment requirements of the architecture, certain addresses may be deemed invalid for a given type. For instance, a 4-byte integer is generally faster to access if it is aligned upon a 4-byte boundary.


What is the fossil on the opening scene of Journey to the Center of the Earth?

The fossil seen in the opening scene of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is a prehistoric ammonite, a type of extinct marine mollusk that lived millions of years ago. Ammonites are known for their spiral-shaped shells, which are often preserved as fossils. The presence of this fossil sets the stage for the adventurous journey into the depths of the Earth in the movie.
