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...

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

By
PGA reffered as pin grid array in which pins of CPU are lined up in a straight format. SPGA referred as staggered pin grid array. in which pins of CPU are arranged staggered format. LGA reffered to as Land Grid Array in which pins are available within inside the socket but not in the CPU in other words in line grid array, in CPU ther are no pinsbut insteadpins areattached with in a socket which contact with with the CPU. for e.g. LGA775 socket(no pins on cpu) has better cooling system. better contact and better locking(climbing). LGA1155: Letest generation I socket, also reffered as sandy bridge, Turbo boost overclocking. More resent than LGA 1156 socket. LGA1156: ability to north bridge Doul channel DDR3 optional integreted graphics PCI express LGA1366: hi end core i series socket integreted tiple channal memmory controller external control bridge(HUB) Upgrading CPU: need to check its core suppert check multiprocessor supports or not check on the ...

Recursive Function in C programming

By
             If a statement within the body of a function calls the same function, the function is called recursive function. Actually, recursion is a process by which a function calls itself repeatedly until some specified condition has been satisfied. This process is used for repetitive computations in which each action is stated in term of previous result. Many iterative or repetitive problems can be written in this form.                To solve a problem using recursive method, two conditions must be satisfied. They are: 1)       Problem could be written or defined in term of its previous result. 2)       Problem statement must include a stopping condition. /*   An example of recursive function to calculate factorial of a number.*/    #include<stdio.h>    #include<conio.h...
