Hardware Tips

By
Assembling process
Required components:
1.     System case
2.     SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply)
3.     Motherboard
4.     RAM(Random Access Memory)
5.     CPU chip (Central Processing Unit)
6.     Optical Disk Drive
7.     CPU fan
8.     Hard Disk Drive
9.     Graphics card
Assembling the Computer is the process of making a completely working system combining various parts of compatible hardware of the computer system.  A computer is said to be assembled when its various hardware components like Hard Disk, Memory, Power Supply, SATA/PATA etc. are connected manually in a proper way so that the system functions smoothly.

Things to Consider:

·         Hold the main board and expansion cards by edges
·         Return the main board and peripherals to
anti-static bags
·         Disconnect the power before working on the system
·         Never place the components above the material that can pass electricity
·         It is advised not to touch in the middle of internal components like processor, motherboard as it can get short-circuit by static electricity.
·         We should use correct type of SMPS for the system as requirement provided by the technical professional.

Step 2: Insert CPU chip into CPU slot and close the socket.

Step 3: Insert CPU fan and Fan wire into motherboard. Make sure screw was tided correctly. 

Step 4: Insert Motherboard into System Case.

Step 5: Insert Optical Disk Drive. Tide the screw.

Step 6: Insert Graphics card into PCI slot while managing Graphics port.

Step 7: Insert HDD in the system case.

Step 8: Insert SMPS in the case and tide the screw.

Step 9: Connect all the cable simultaneously.

Testing connections:
Plug in PSU power cord into PSU and to wall outlet and start computer. Use usual precautions when handling electricity! Test to see the following are running - all 3 fans - case, CPU, PSU, (and video card fan(s) if separate video card installed). Test power button (PC comes on and off) and reset button (HDD LED light blinks once). Test to see all 3 LED lights work - PLED light (power on light that stays on when PC is on), DVD LED light (comes on at start then goes off), HDD LED light (blinks initially).

Put back case left, right and front panels

Screw back case left and right panels with thumb screws. Make sure you get the sidescorrectlay, a case side panel with a window faces the front side of the motherboard giving the components ventilation.

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

Concept of Local, Global and Static Variables in C programming

By
    Local Variables (automatic or internal variable): The automatic variables are always declared within a function or block and are local to the particular function or block in which they are declared. As local variables are defined within the body of the function or the block, other functions can not access these variables. The compiler shows errors in case other functions try to access the variables.           Default Initial value of such type of variable is an unpredictable value which is often called garbage value. The scope of it is local to the block in which the variable is defined. Again, its life is till the control remains within the block in which the variable is defined. The keyword auto may be used while declaration of variable. For example, auto int a; But this is normally not done.         /*An example to illustrate local variable*/      #include<stdio.h>           long int fact(int n)                {                      int i;

Typedef Statement in C programming

By
   C supports a feature known as “type definition” that allows users to define an identifier that would represent an existing data type. The user-defined data type identifier can later be used to declare variables. It takes the general form: typedef type identifier ; Where type refers to an existing data type and identifier refers to the “new” name given to the data type. The existing data type may belong to any class of type, including the user defined ones. The new type is new only in name, but not the data type. typedef cannot create a new type. Some examples of type definition are: typedef int units ; typedef float marks ; Here, units represent int and marks represents float. They can be later used to declare variables as follows: units batch1, batch2 ; marks name1 [50] ; name2[50] ; batch1 and batch2 are declared as int variable and name1[50] and namer[50] are declared as 50 element floating point array variables. The main advantage of typedef is that w
