2. Star Network topology

By
In star topology all devices or computers are connected to one centralized server. They are connected with server by hub.
 Star topology is used in that network where end points are directly reachable from central location. Because each nodes link to the server by different cables. There is no risk of data collisions. Each computer connected to the hub by its own cable segments only a single computer can transmit at a time and every computer on the network wait for message. Thus it is best on broadcasting architecture.
a.     Advantages
i.                    Devices are attached to server by its own cable, thus break down of cable affects only to that nodes.
ii.                  Failure of single node will not affect the rest of the network.
iii.                Central hub can be represent with other having more ports to plugs the nodes.
b.     Disadvantages
i.                    Failure of central hub will affect whole network.
ii.                  More expensive.

iii.                Required more cables and costly hub.

Object Oriented Programming

By
Object Oriented Programming Programming paradigm that represents the concept of "objects" that have data fields (attributes that describe the object) and associated procedures known as methods Programming methodology based on objects, instead of just functions and procedures Focuses on data rather than process As individual objects can be modified without affecting other aspects of the program, it is easier for programmers to structure and organize software programs Easier to update and change programs written in object-oriented languages Simula was the first object oriented programming language Eg: C++, Java, etc. Features of OOPS Objects Referred as instance of class Basic run-time entities in an object-oriented system a person, a place, a bank account, a table of data, etc can be an object They occupy space in memory that keeps its state  Each object contains data and code to manipulate the data  Classes Blue print or prototype  which defi

How structure elements are stored?

By
  The elements of a structure are always stored in contiguous memory locations. This can be illustrated as void main() {     struct student      {      int roll;      float marks;      char remarks;   };   struct student st={200,60.5,'P'};   printf("\nAddress of roll=%u",&st.roll);   printf("\nAddress of marks=%u",&st.marks);   printf("\nAddress of remarks=%u",&st.remarks);   getch(); } Output: Address of roll=65518 Address of marks=65520 Address of remarks=65524                  st.roll               st.marks                          st.remarks 200 60.5 ‘P’               65518             65520                               65524

How containership is different than inheritance ?

By
               Inheritance is the mechanism of deriving properties of one class into another. While containership is mechanism in which one class contain objects of other classes as its member.                     class alpha{_ _ _ _ _ };                     class beta{_ _ _ _ _ };                      class gamma                      {                         alpha a;                         beta b;                       _ _ _ _ _ };            All objects of gamma class will contain the objects a and b, this kind of relationship is called containership or nesting.
