What is Randomized Algorithm?

Randomized Algorithm:
Any algorithm whose behavior is not only determined by the input, but also values
produced by a random number generator
These algorithms are often simpler and more efficient than deterministic algorithms for
the same problem. And because of there simplicity they are easier to analyze which is the
most important thing in the decision making of an algorithm.
What was the name of first super computer. When it was introduced?
CRAY1 is the first computer and it was introduced in 1973
How a designer makes Structured Design?

Structured Design is known as a Top-down design.
The designed first conceives about the High level design and then further
designs the details of the high level design components and it goes on and on.
Making small changes in the functionality of the systems sometimes leads to
major re-design exercise. Structured design separates the functionality from
programs data and that’s why program’s deisgned by this methodology are
difficult to maintain.
Why microprocessor uses the binary number system and not the decimal or any
other number system?
The processor is the logic of a computer and functions comparably to a human
central nervous system, directing signals from one component to another and
enabling everything to happen. A microprocessor is made from miniaturized
transistors and other circuit elements on a single
semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) . These are made up oof semiconductor and
silicon.
Microprocessor are composed of components which has only two states either 0
or 1. Binary number system is also composed of these two states.
Microprocessor till today only understand the machine language and machine
language is only based on binary number system. Even today’s 64 bit
microprocessors are also based on this technology.
Why do we need an Interactive Form in a webpage?

1. Interactive forms are used to gather user data and interact with the user.
2. Forms can be made interactive with the use of client side scripting and
server side sciprting.
3. In HTML, <FORM> </FORM> tag is used to insert the form in a web page
and it always lie in <BODY></BODY> html tag.
4. without form’s web site is only “READ ONLY”.
5. with the help of forms a user and can search the contents, place order for
goods and services.
6. Forms can be simple or very complex, based on the requirement.
7. forms can contain a single element or many e.g text area, buttons

Elaborate greedy algorithm definition with solid example in favour and one counter
example?
An algorithm that always takes the best immediate, or local solution while finding an
answer
Greedy algorithms may find the overall or globally optimal solution for some
optimization problems, but may find less-than-optimal solutions for some instances of
other problems
KEY ADVANTAGE: Greedy algorithms are usually faster, since they don't consider the
details of possible alternatives
Greedy Algorithm: Counter Example

What is the role of application software in Education?

Teachers in educational institutions direct the education of students and might draw on
many subjects, including reading, writing, mathematics, science and history. This process
is sometimes called schooling when referring to the education of teaching only a certain
subject, usually as professors at institutions of higher learning. There is also education in
fields for those who want specific vocational skills, such as those required to be a pilot. In
addition there is an array of education possible at the informal level, such as in museums
and libraries, with the Internet and in life experience. Many non-traditional education
options are now available and continue to evolve.
Give four properties and two methods of window object ?

Objects may have a single or several properties
A property may have one of the following values:
Number -- Text -- Boolean
Array -- Functions
Objects (Example: “document” – a property of the “window” object – is an object in
itself. A “document” in turn may contain a “form” object as a property, and then that
“form” may contain a “button” property, which, once again, is an object in itself)
What is the difference between High-level and Low-level programming languages?

High level languages allow much more abstraction than low level languages. This allows
algorithms and functions to be written without requiring detailed knowledge of the
hardware used in the computing platform. The compiler provides this interface
transparently for the programmer.
Low level languages will require more involvement with the actual register and interrupt
interfaces to the hardware. This can provide more control and efficiency for the program
and can be good for applications which need high speed execution, but high level
compilers are much better at optimizing for speed now.

Write differences between Shareware and Trialware software.

Mainly the name and the fact that no large successful companies refer to their trial or
demo software as "shareware". See Symantec for example. The term "shareware" is also
old-fashioned and non-descriptive. The word "shareware" was coined to describe
software that was obtained and then shared freely with others, usually by diskette. Today
with the Internet this meaning is entirely obsolete. Plus, the reference to sharing might
give people the impression that it is OK to purchase shareware and then share the
registered copy with others. Trialware, on the other hand, means what it says, trial

Answer: For a web user it is a first page displayed when a user starts a web browser and
for a web developer it is a first page when a user selects a site.
Answer: Because this system is natural for digital computer. Digital computer have
fundamental building blocks like ON & OFF Etc so it is natural to represent those in a
number system that has only two symbols e.g Binary Numbers 0,1. Whereas decimal
system is natural for human.
Write the major types of softwares with examples?
Software is the set of instructions which guides the computer hardware through their jobs.
A computer is useless without software. We use different software to solve different
problems. The types of software we need depend on the job we want to do. There are
basically two types of software’s system software and application software. System
software’s are used to help the computer parts work together and also provide support to
the application software. The most common type of system software is operating system.
Application software’s are used to improve our work ability. Different application
software’s and system
software’s are used in daily life.
What is the major difference between paragraph <p> and Line Break <BR> tags?
<p> tag is use to Insert paragraph breaks into the text of your HTML document Note that
this tag
is special in that it does not require an ending tag.
The <br> tag inserts a single line break. The <br> tag is an empty tag which means that it
has no end tag.
Why PASCAL was designed and what is the problem with PASCAL?
