Declaration of array in C programming

By
  Syntax:
     storage_class   data_type   array_name[expression];
          Where, storage_class refers to the storage class of the array. It may be auto, 
                             static, extern. But it is optional.
         data_type is the data type of array. It may be int, float, char, ….etc. If int is
                          used, this means that this array stores data items of integer types.
          array_name is name of the array. It is user defined name for array.
          [] represents the array and expression inside this may be integer constant like    
                 10, 100 or Symbolic constant like SIZE (i.e. #define SIZE 80, this can be   
                 used as int a[size];). This expression represents the number of elements in                      
                 array.

Example:
      int a [5];
           It tells to the compiler that ‘a’ is an integer type of array and can store 5 integers. The compiler reserves 2 bytes of memory for each integer array element.
It’s individual elements are recognized by a[0], a[1],a[2],a[3] and a[4]. The integer value inside [] is called index of array. Index always starts from 0 and ends with one less than size of array.
 Similarly, long num[5]; char ch[10]; are another examples of array declarations

Passing arrays to functions in C programming

By
Like any other variables, we can also pass entire array to a function. An array name can be named as an argument for the prototype declaration and in function header. When we call the function no need to subscript or square brackets. When we pass array that pass as a call by reference because the array name is address for that array. /* Program to illustrate passing array to function */ #include<stdio.h> void display(int) ; /* function prototype */ main( ) { int num[5] = {100, 20, 40, 15, 33, i ; clrscr( ) ; printf (“\n The content of array is \n”) ; for (i=0; i<5; i++) display (num[i]) ; /*Pass array element fo fun */ getch{ } ; } void display(int n) { printf (“\t%d”, n ) ; } Output:     The content of array is 100      20       40       15 3 /* Program to read 10 numbers from keyboard to store these num into array and then c...

Explanation of Graphics in C programming

By
   The header file graphics.h should be included to use graphics related built in functions. Again, the variable gDriver is an integer variable that specifies graphics driver to be used. Device drivers are small programs which talk directly to the hardware. Graphics drivers are a subset of device drivers and are applicable only in the graphics mode. The initialization of this variable to DETECT is to set another variable gMode to the highest resolution available for the detected driver.  The value of this variable gDriver may be another than DETECT (e.g. 1 for CGA, 9 for VGA.). The variable gMode is an integer that specifies initial graphics mode.       The built in function initgraph() is for graphics initialization. The syntax for this is as   initgraph(&graphics_driver, &graphics_mode, path_to_driver);   path_to_driver specifies the directory path where initgraph() looks for graphics drivers ( .BGI files). Thi...

BIOS

By
BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It is is kind of OS pre- attached in the system Design to detect every I/O devices It holds basic drivers -checks all I/O devices -Loads main OS -Responsible for starting System switched on manufactured by AMI,Phonix,award,Baiostar POST error test, boots trap load, BIOS is unintrusive system. CMOS and BIOS are two different components of the motherboard. CMOS work as storage if BIOS. A basic software program containing all BIOS is permanently stored in the ROM. every essencial holds program Tresh passing without knowinig is called intrusive.
