What is fragmentation and defragmentation in memory management?

fragmentashon is a phenomena in which storage sapce is used inefficetively,reducing storage capacity

Name the important approaches used in program debugging?

  • While correcting or fixing a bug always make it a habit to make comments containing description about date, purpose of fixing, username who fixed the bug and so on. This is very essential because this will be helpful if the person who made the bug fixing later on want to refer the bug for some reason for fixing some other fix or it would be helpful for other users since it act as a documentation which provides an easy reference.

    .

  • Make it a practice that while debugging to make a change and test it immediately. This is because when a change is made to the existing code it may pave way for some more bugs. After ensuring that the corresponding fix works fine by testing then go for next change. In other words it is essential to be systematic in approach while debugging.

    .

  • It is very essential to remove the temporary code added just for debugging purposes like temporary print statement to check the value of variables and so on.

    .

  • When a fault is found in debugging process after correcting and fixing it always have a broader vision and think whether the same fault or similar situations can occur in other parts of the program. This vision will help in reducing the time in debugging process.

My computer keeps freezing followed with a loud buzzing noise out of the speaker. This mainly happens while it is idle or under small load never heavy load. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

It sounds like your (HDD) hard disk drive is faulty. Your hard disk drive is responsible for storing your operating system, along with all your files and programs.

When it's under too much stress (fault problem) then it begins to freeze up and your system takes a while to load programs and files.

As I am aware, the HDD is the only culprit inside a computer to make a buzzing noise due to how it operates (sort of like a record player, a disk inside with an arm).

What is user define datatype and explain it?

Any datatype which the user creates in code, that isn't native to the language. A linked list can be an example of this

Do printers have memory to print?

Yes, printers have memory built-in, used to store printing data while the printing is in process. Some printer types must compose the entire page in memory prior to the actual printing, others use the memory to buffer some print.

All printers will have such memory, but inexpensive models might be designed with the bare minimum of memory (in order to save cost on the printer).

Why should you not wear an antistatic wrist strap to repair power supply?

The problem here is that you may encounter high voltages in the power supply. So wearing an antistatic wrist strap may put you at a greater risk of electric shock. Besides, there are few if any sensitive electronic components inside the power supply unit.

In addition, make sure the power supply is not connected to any power before servicing it. If you need to go near any large capacitors, you will want to discharge them. In fact that is a good precaution to take any time you remove the circuit board from the power supply unit.

Advantages and disadvantages of proprietary operating system?

It will cost you a little bit more money. But you will be able to use it more readily than other options.

What are the similarities between compiler and interpreter?

Both compiler and interpreter are the language programs that translates source program into machine code or we can say object code. Both are used to find errors in source program.

How many applications can computer have?

as many as fit on their storage devices. if that isn't enough, delete a few and replace them with others.

What is remote computer monitoring?

Remote computer monitoring is the act of monitoring a computer from a different location. Usually, large businesses do this with either a key-stroke monitor/logger, a screenshot program, or both.

What do anti static mats and wrist straps use to prevent anti static chargers from racing through devices?

A person can build up a static charge in their body simply be walking over a nylon carpet. If they then touch delicate components on a motherboard, the spark could fry a component, destroying the motherboard. Antistatic mats help prevent static build up. Antistatic wrist straps direct any body static directly to earth before any damage can occur. Touching a water pipe or a computer's chassis has the same affect of getting rid of body static. If children are jumping up and down on a (nylon) trampoline, you will get a spark (static) if they touch you - quite a party trick, especially if the children's hair is also standing up - a sure sign of static electricity!

How to Position the cooling fans?

When building a PC you will need to position the cooling fans. You should refer to the documentation to work out how to do this.

Does liquid nitrogen harm the computer?

Since liquid nitrogen boils at -196 C, it certainly canharm a computer due to thermal stress. It is sometimes used for short term testing for overclocking various components, but needs to be replensished so, along with the thermal stress issue, is not viable for other than research use.
