What is 6600 mah mean?

Do you mean 6600mAh? In relation to a battery this would mean a capacity of 6600 milli-Ampere hours. In other words the battery can supply 6600mA for 1 hour.

Explain the structure of a java program?

The fundamental structure of any Java programme should look like:

[package declarations]

[import statements]

[class declaration]

An example is given below:

package abc;

import java.lang;

class Demo {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Sytem.out.println("Hello! World");

}

}

//The file containing this class must be named Demo.java

What is short char in c language?

There is no such thing as "short char"

You either mean char or short int.

a char is a variable declaration that holds one character, usually 8 bits long (1 byte)

short int (or simply short) is a 16 bit (2 byte) integer

What advantages do a wireless network have over a dial-up network?

A wireless network usually refers to a Local Area Network (LAN), for example all of the computers in your home. A dial-up network usually refers to the method in which you connect to the Internet through your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

An example using both would be that you have a wireless router at home that connects to a dial-up modem, which allows all of your home computers to share a single Internet connection.

What is the function of a parallel port on a computer?

The parallel port was mainly created to be able to send data to a printer. As time passed, it was used for other things, like transferring data between computers with software, or to attach a tape drive. It is called a parallel port because there are at least 8 pins carrying data at the same time, thus enabling it to transmit entire bytes at a time. In a serial port, the data is sent lengthwise, one bit at a time.

What is the Difference between an assembler and cross assembler?

The assembly part of a compiler is at the back end of the build process. A build process takes instructions from a programming language and converts them into machine instructions. When you need to make machine instructions for a machine that is different than the type you are programming on you need a cross compiler. For instance, if you have a PC with an Intel X86 and you want machine instructions for an Xbox with a PowerPC inside then you would need to cross compile. You could take some intermediate output from your compilation process on the PC and use a cross assembler to make PowerPC instructions. Thus you would be using a cross assembler.

What is the process of the computers?

In computing, a process is a running instance of a program, including all variables and other state. A multitasking operating system switches between processes to give the appearance of simultaneous execution, though in fact only one process can be executing at once per CPU core. A process is the active element in a computer. Terminals, files, and other I/O devices communicate with each other through processes. Thus, network communications is interprocess communications (that is, communication between processes).

What does a computer programmer do all day or night?

A computer programmer's typical day will include checking the current list of assigned defects and enhancements, performing code changes, reviewing code changes of peer or junior developers, and perform limited tests of code that they or their team has changed. Often they will attend meetings where project goals are discussed, defects are assigned, and potential issues are addressed. Here's a specific example. When I get to work, I check my work email to see if I have any defects assigned to me. I will review these defects, and consult with the qa person who entered them, or my team lead who assigned them. I will then start either on the new defects, or continue work on the one I was on before. Once I have finished working on it, and have performed enough unit tests to give myself confidence that the code fix works, I will check the changes into our source code control system, and mark the defect as "fixed." I will then move to the next defect. Sprinkle web surfing, talking with coworkers, and general goofing off liberally to the above description.

How many wattage equal 1 volt?

Wattage and voltage are two different forms of measuring electrical power.

Voltage is measure of the strength of an electrical charge.

Wattage is the measure of the consumption of that charge.

Wattage is used to measure the heat generated from the flow of electricity between two points whereas voltage measures the density of electrical charge of that flow. The wattage produced is directly proportionate to the electrical resistance of the item when voltage is applied to or travels across it. This is why a 100 watt bulb is brighter than a 50 watt bulb. By using an element with a higher resistance to an electrical charge in a 100 watt bulb than a 50 watt bulb the 100 produces a higher "glow" because the electricity cannot travel as freely across the element causing it to heat up thereby consuming a larger amount of the charge passing through it. The amount the charge dissipates from one side to the other is the wattage. Or more eloquently stated as Ohm's law: The current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.

What are the common features of computer programs?

Accuracy, maintenance, efficiency, reliability, portability, readable, performance, storage savings.

What part of the computer is responsible for executing instructions tp process information?

The central processing unit (CPU). The CPU is typically composed of one or more processors with one or more processing cores. For example, a quad core CPU typically has two independent processors with two cores each.

Which device is used to convert analog signals to digital signals?

In datacommunications this is a modulator/demodulator, commonly known as a modem.

In electronics a digital to analog converter (DAC) chip is used to convert digital signals to analog and an analog to digital converter (ADC) chip to convert analog signals to digital. Some chips are available which include both ADC and DAC functionality.

There are thousands of different types of DAC and ADC sytems and which one to use largely depends on how fast you want to do the conversion.

What is the difference of modular programming and modular programming?

The strength of modular programming lies in the modular approach. Each module holds logically grouped code (functions, procedures, variables, constant data), typically grouped by functionality.

For instance, one module might provide tools to retrieve application-specific data from and store such data in a database, another module might provide visualization primitives, a third might provide an application-specific data structure and related management functions, etc.

As each module is developed, it is tested as a single unit. The idea is to perfect this module, and never to touch it again while the remaining modules are being developed and tested in a similar manner, then put together ("integrated") to form the application.

While the goal of never touching a module, once initially tested, is rarely met in real life terms, modular programming provides a structured approach to application design and helps in producing quality software. A modular design also helps when working in a team, as the modules' boundaries often are natural dividing lines along which the work can be divided between different members of the team.

What is the stack algorithm to push an item?

Stack Data Structure
1.It is a Linear Data Structure.


2.In which a data item is inserted & deleted at one end.


3.It is a Last In - First Out (LIFO) Data Structure where the data item is inserted last into the stack is the first data item to be deleted from the stack.
NOTE:


Please refer to http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/mukundan/dsal/StackAppl.html site to understand the concept of stack using java applet.


Just Copy & Paste it in your browser,but you need a Java RunTime Environment(JRE) installed onto your PC.
4.Writting a value to stack is push operation.


5.Reading a value from the stack is pop operation.


6.Once an item is popped from the stack,it is no longer available.
Algorithm
1.push operation:
if top of the stack is greater than equal to maximum number of entries into the stack,
then print "Stack is already full.Cannot add more items."
top of stack = t
increment the top of the stack


2.pop operation:
decrement top of the stack
if top <0,then print "Stack is already empty.Noitems to read."


3.call these push & pop functions declared void in the main function using the switch statement.


4.The variable top & symbolic constant stack maximum items entry number has to be declared.


What are the latest trends and technologies in printing?

Business cards are an invaluable asset for any professional or businessperson. The humble business card is not just a calling card bearing an individuals name and contact details: it acts as a promotional tool for the company and its products, and serves to inform people of an individuals role within that company. For this reason business cards are every bit as important for the staff and salespeople in a small business as they are for the CEO of a multinational blue-chip company.

Business cards date back to the 15th Century in China and the 17th Century in Europe, and were originally quite simple: black text on white card stock. However advances in design and print technology meant that they became more elaborate over time, and in addition to the name, job title and contact details of the bearer, todays professional business card will usually include a striking visual design, a corporate font and a unique company logo.

Some business cards, particularly those of salespeople and real estate agents, may also include a photograph of the employee, but the one thing all companies want is a uniform business card style to ensure that the company looks professional to its customers. This is known as the Brand Identity or the Corporate ID, and is usually extended to any other printed stationery the company may use such as letterheads and compliment slips.

Special Materials

The vast majority of corporate business cards are printed on 320~350gsm white card. However, business cards can be printed on a wide variety of materials, and designers have taken advantage of that in recent years to produce durable plastic cards (frosted translucent plastic being the most popular), metallic business cards, wooden business cards, and even magnetic business cards: magnetic cards are particularly popular with tradesmen such as plumbers and electricians because customers can stick them on the door of their refrigerator to save them the trouble of looking in the Yellow Pages.

Digital vs Litho

There are two main methods of printing business stationery: digital and litho. The decision about which one to use usually comes down to speed and cost. Digital printing is very fast and very cost-effective for short-run print jobs such as individual sets of business cards, whereas litho printing is more cost-effective for longer runs.

Litho printing uses individual Pantone colour inks and the press needs to be cleaned down between the application of each colour. This means that the setup costs are more expensive than for digital printing, and the process also takes longer. In addition, litho print requires extra time for the ink to dry before the it can be guillotined. If the ink is not dry, there is a risk of set off which is when the ink from the front of one page rubs off onto the reverse of another.

Digital presses, on the other hand, use a combination of four colours (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, or CMYK) to create all the colours in the rainbow. There are no costs involved in setting up the press, no cleaning in between colours, and no drying time. This makes it the ideal method for printing business cards, and ensures that urgent orders can be printed and despatched within a few hours, something which would be impossible if they were printed litho.

Online Ordering

Recent innovations in computer technology and graphic applications have seen the rise of some print companies offering an online ordering service for business cards and other printed stationery. In some cases this may simply be an web form which the user fills in to request an order, but some of the more progressive print companies have invested in sophisticated online procurement software which enables customers to enter their details online and view instant on-screen proofs of their printed stationery before the order goes to print. There are a number of very real advantages to using a system like this, particularly for larger companies which need to order business cards regularly.

First of all, a sophisticated online print system will preserve the companys Corporate ID across the entire range of stationery and this will guarantee that each print run conforms to the companys print guidelines: it removes the need for a graphic designer to create the artwork from scratch for each order, and that means there are no mistakes.

In addition, an online print system will also enable users to place orders whenever they need to, whether it be at the weekend or at 2am: no need to speak to the printer, no need to wait for the proofs, no need to correct the typo errors which the graphic designer has made orders can be placed quickly and efficiently online any time of the day or night, and the proofs can be checked instantly and even emailed to a colleague for approval. These efficiencies of time also translate into cost-savings, both for the customer (who doesnt need to waste valuable time chasing the printer for proofs and corrections) and for the printer (who can employ their graphic designers time more productively).

Dual-Language Business Cards

Finally, one very important aspect of our technology-driven, ever-shrinking world is the increase in international trade. Reduced travel costs and open trade agreements mean that import/export is no longer the preserve of multinational corporations, but is now also open to smaller companies: it has never been easier to trade abroad. This has led to a dramatic rise in the requirement for dual-language business cards, particularly for companies trading overseas in South East Asian countries such as Japan, China and Korea, but also increasingly in Arab countries too.

The problem here is that whilst printers may be very good at putting ink on paper, and some of the more innovative among them may even have ventured into online ordering, there are no more than a very small handful of printers in Western countries who know anything about translating or printing foreign languages, particularly complex scripts (ie, anything beyond the Western alphabet). However, it is vital to the success of any overseas trade negotiations that the company looks as professional as possible to its foreign customers, so it comes as little surprise that expert online print companies such as Biznis Cards which provide specialist translation and foreign-language typesetting services are becoming more and more popular.

How does the computer get its electricity?

Most computers use a mix of battery power, as well as electricity, as their energy source. For instance, your cell phone works through battery power that you must charge with electricity when it runs out.

What are the areas and operations of data processing?

What are the areas of data processing?"There are said to be two forms of data processing and these are:

· Business Data Processing

Business data processing, also known as BDP, is used to store a vast amount of information that are needed to be kept as records. They need to be easy to access and quick to search through the billions ofdata files stored.

The business data processing is used by many businesses to store all their customer details and also buyers and trader accounts. This can consist of thousands if not millions of names and details and so it is a great tool in ensuring a business stays organized and on top of their customer base.

It also enables the business to link it to the tills and the information is automatically updated. For instance, a customer's new bill or order is instantly added to their purchasing history.

· Scientific Data Processing

Scientific data processing, also know as SDP, is used as a solution for more science-based inputs and demands. Most science problems are not repeated commands like updating customer records are withthe business data processing and so it needs to deal with one-off tasks.

Both business data processing and scientific data processing are vital tools in many industries and businesses and research could not be carried out in the same way without such processing.

What are programs that tell the computer what to do?

All programs tell the computer what to do, that is the primary purpose of programs.

The program (more accurately -set- of programs) which is the mother of all programs & gives the user direct control over the computer is called the "operating system"

Which metalloids both are in group 14 and are used to make computer chips?

The metalloids silicon and germanium, also in Group 14,are used to make computer chips.

Which computer program is capable of reproducing itself?

Short answer - No. With our current level of technology and progress in the field of artificial intelligence there are no computers that can program themselves. However, depending on what you mean by "programme", there are lots of devices that can configure themselves using computer technology. However, even here this is ultimately due to "hard coded" behavior in the circuitry of these devices which is essentially a form of programming from a hardware perspective, which also originated from an external source (people). Of course you could also argue that people can't really "program" themselves either. If you stay strictly within the bounds of the physical realm (not accounting for metaphysical/spiritual aspects) people and by proxy their actions are also a result of causal laws. In this context, we are only a product of our biology and our environment, so in that regard we are no different then a organic computer. Of course, this is not accounting for any metaphysical or spiritual elements, which could significantly change the model of human behavior to be different from that of a computer's behavior. (Updated - Sorry, I didn't have a login yet, so I figured I should get one of those).

What computer languages do you need to know to be a good programmer?

Everything that you can see done on a computer, from playing games, using webpages, or even clicking icons on your desktop.

Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine and/or to express algorithms precisely.You can do anything form writing single addition program to creating a websites.

How are pictures posted to websites?

Using HTML to display images you use the <img> tag. To display an image on a page, you need to use the (source attribute) src= The value of the src attribute is the URL of the image (skull) you want to display on your page which means that the image you want to display must be uploaded to a server, and have a web address (URL). The URL for the image points to the location where the image is stored on the server. It should look like this: <img src="http://www.theURLfortheimage.com/Yourimage.jpg"> Broken down it means < img source = the address (URL) of the image is located / (for the name of the image) Yourimage.jpg>
