Data Structure Algorithm? In computer science, a data structure is a particular way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and modified efficiently . More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data. Example of Data Structure:- • An array is a number of elements in a specific order, typically all of the same type. Elements are accessed using an integer index to specify which element is required (Depending on the language, individual elements may either all be forced to be the same type, or may be of almost any type). Typical implementations allocate contiguous memory words for the elements of arrays (but this is not always a necessity). Arrays may be fixed- length or resizable. • A class is a data structure that contains data fields, like a record, as well as various methods which operate on the contents of the record. In the context of object-oriented programming, records are known as plain old data structures to distinguish them from classes. Classification Of Data Structure Top Down Approch Bottom Up approch Concept of Data Types:- ▪ Data Type:- Is associated with the variable to hold the particular value in C lang. there are mainly Four basic datatype , they are:- ▪ Int ▪ Char ▪ Float ▪ Double ▪ Constants:- Are also called as literals constants are these that do not change value during the execution of programme. There are Three types of constants and they are as follows:- ▪ Character constant ▪ Numeric constant ▪ String constant ▪ Variables:- Are also called as identifiers. Variable can be a name of object . the value of variable can be changed during the execution of program. Rules For Naming A variable? ▪ Variable should be declare with the datatype. ▪ Variable can be a combo of alphabets , digits & with ( _ ). ▪ First, letter of variable should be letter or underscore. ▪ First, letter cannot be a digit. ▪ Keyword cannot be used as a variable. What Is Pointer? In computer science, a pointer is a programming language object, whose value refers to (or "points to") another value stored elsewhere in the computer memory using its memory address. A pointerreferences a location in memory, and obtaining the value stored at that location is known as dereferencing the pointer. Pointer Constant? A constant pointer is a pointer that cannot change the address its holding. In other words, we can say that once a constant pointer points to a variable then it cannot point to any other variable. A Pointer constant is declared as: const int *ptr; (the location of ‘const’ makes the pointer ‘ptr’ as a pointer to constant..

  • Lab 7: Floating-Point Addition 0.0
    Lab 7: Floating-Point Addition 0.0 Introduction In this lab, you will write a MIPS assembly language function that performs floating-point addition. You will then run your program using PCSpim (just as you did in Lab 6). For testing, you are provided a program that calls your function to compute the value of the mathematical constant e. For those with no assembly language experience, this will be a long lab, so plan your time accordingly. Background You should be familiar with the IEEE 754 Floating-Point Standard, which is described in Section 3.6 of your book. (Hopefully you have read that section carefully!) Here we will be dealing only with single precision floating- point values, which are formatted as follows (this is also described in the “Floating-Point Representation” subsec- tion of Section 3.6 in your book): Sign Exponent (8 bits) Significand (23 bits) 31 30 29 ... 24 23 22 21 ... 0 Remember that the exponent is biased by 127, which means that an exponent of zero is represented by 127 (01111111). The exponent is not encoded using 2s-complement. The significand is always positive, and the sign bit is kept separately. Note that the actual significand is 24 bits long; the first bit is always a 1 and thus does not need to be stored explicitly. This will be important to remember when you write your function! There are several details of IEEE 754 that you will not have to worry about in this lab. For example, the expo- nents 00000000 and 11111111 are reserved for special purposes that are described in your book (representing zero, denormalized numbers and NaNs).

  • Application of TRIE Data Structure and Corresponding Associative Algorithms for Process Optimization in GRID Environment
    Application of TRIE data structure and corresponding associative algorithms for process optimization in GRID environment V. V. Kashanskya, I. L. Kaftannikovb South Ural State University (National Research University), 76, Lenin prospekt, Chelyabinsk, 454080, Russia E-mail: a [email protected], b [email protected] Growing interest around different BOINC powered projects made volunteer GRID model widely used last years, arranging lots of computational resources in different environments. There are many revealed problems of Big Data and horizontally scalable multiuser systems. This paper provides an analysis of TRIE data structure and possibilities of its application in contemporary volunteer GRID networks, including routing (L3 OSI) and spe- cialized key-value storage engine (L7 OSI). The main goal is to show how TRIE mechanisms can influence de- livery process of the corresponding GRID environment resources and services at different layers of networking abstraction. The relevance of the optimization topic is ensured by the fact that with increasing data flow intensi- ty, the latency of the various linear algorithm based subsystems as well increases. This leads to the general ef- fects, such as unacceptably high transmission time and processing instability. Logically paper can be divided into three parts with summary. The first part provides definition of TRIE and asymptotic estimates of corresponding algorithms (searching, deletion, insertion). The second part is devoted to the problem of routing time reduction by applying TRIE data structure. In particular, we analyze Cisco IOS switching services based on Bitwise TRIE and 256 way TRIE data structures. The third part contains general BOINC architecture review and recommenda- tions for highly-loaded projects.

  • The Hexadecimal Number System and Memory Addressing
    C5537_App C_1107_03/16/2005 APPENDIX C The Hexadecimal Number System and Memory Addressing nderstanding the number system and the coding system that computers use to U store data and communicate with each other is fundamental to understanding how computers work. Early attempts to invent an electronic computing device met with disappointing results as long as inventors tried to use the decimal number sys- tem, with the digits 0–9. Then John Atanasoff proposed using a coding system that expressed everything in terms of different sequences of only two numerals: one repre- sented by the presence of a charge and one represented by the absence of a charge. The numbering system that can be supported by the expression of only two numerals is called base 2, or binary; it was invented by Ada Lovelace many years before, using the numerals 0 and 1. Under Atanasoff’s design, all numbers and other characters would be converted to this binary number system, and all storage, comparisons, and arithmetic would be done using it. Even today, this is one of the basic principles of computers. Every character or number entered into a computer is first converted into a series of 0s and 1s. Many coding schemes and techniques have been invented to manipulate these 0s and 1s, called bits for binary digits. The most widespread binary coding scheme for microcomputers, which is recog- nized as the microcomputer standard, is called ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange). (Appendix B lists the binary code for the basic 127- character set.) In ASCII, each character is assigned an 8-bit code called a byte.

  • Abstract Data Types
    Chapter 2 Abstract Data Types The second idea at the core of computer science, along with algorithms, is data. In a modern computer, data consists fundamentally of binary bits, but meaningful data is organized into primitive data types such as integer, real, and boolean and into more complex data structures such as arrays and binary trees. These data types and data structures always come along with associated operations that can be done on the data. For example, the 32-bit int data type is defined both by the fact that a value of type int consists of 32 binary bits but also by the fact that two int values can be added, subtracted, multiplied, compared, and so on. An array is defined both by the fact that it is a sequence of data items of the same basic type, but also by the fact that it is possible to directly access each of the positions in the list based on its numerical index. So the idea of a data type includes a specification of the possible values of that type together with the operations that can be performed on those values. An algorithm is an abstract idea, and a program is an implementation of an algorithm. Similarly, it is useful to be able to work with the abstract idea behind a data type or data structure, without getting bogged down in the implementation details. The abstraction in this case is called an \abstract data type." An abstract data type specifies the values of the type, but not how those values are represented as collections of bits, and it specifies operations on those values in terms of their inputs, outputs, and effects rather than as particular algorithms or program code.

  • 5. Data Types
    IEEE FOR THE FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION LANGUAGE e Std 1647-2011 5. Data types The e language has a number of predefined data types, including the integer and Boolean scalar types common to most programming languages. In addition, new scalar data types (enumerated types) that are appropriate for programming, modeling hardware, and interfacing with hardware simulators can be created. The e language also provides a powerful mechanism for defining OO hierarchical data structures (structs) and ordered collections of elements of the same type (lists). The following subclauses provide a basic explanation of e data types. 5.1 e data types Most e expressions have an explicit data type, as follows: — Scalar types — Scalar subtypes — Enumerated scalar types — Casting of enumerated types in comparisons — Struct types — Struct subtypes — Referencing fields in when constructs — List types — The set type — The string type — The real type — The external_pointer type — The “untyped” pseudo type Certain expressions, such as HDL objects, have no explicit data type. See 5.2 for information on how these expressions are handled. 5.1.1 Scalar types Scalar types in e are one of the following: numeric, Boolean, or enumerated. Table 17 shows the predefined numeric and Boolean types. Both signed and unsigned integers can be of any size and, thus, of any range. See 5.1.2 for information on how to specify the size and range of a scalar field or variable explicitly. See also Clause 4. 5.1.2 Scalar subtypes A scalar subtype can be named and created by using a scalar modifier to specify the range or bit width of a scalar type.

  • POINTER (IN C/C++) What Is a Pointer?
    POINTER (IN C/C++) What is a pointer? Variable in a program is something with a name, the value of which can vary. The way the compiler and linker handles this is that it assigns a specific block of memory within the computer to hold the value of that variable. • The left side is the value in memory. • The right side is the address of that memory Dereferencing: • int bar = *foo_ptr; • *foo_ptr = 42; // set foo to 42 which is also effect bar = 42 • To dereference ted, go to memory address of 1776, the value contain in that is 25 which is what we need. Differences between & and * & is the reference operator and can be read as "address of“ * is the dereference operator and can be read as "value pointed by" A variable referenced with & can be dereferenced with *. • Andy = 25; • Ted = &andy; All expressions below are true: • andy == 25 // true • &andy == 1776 // true • ted == 1776 // true • *ted == 25 // true How to declare pointer? • Type + “*” + name of variable. • Example: int * number; • char * c; • • number or c is a variable is called a pointer variable How to use pointer? • int foo; • int *foo_ptr = &foo; • foo_ptr is declared as a pointer to int. We have initialized it to point to foo. • foo occupies some memory. Its location in memory is called its address. &foo is the address of foo Assignment and pointer: • int *foo_pr = 5; // wrong • int foo = 5; • int *foo_pr = &foo; // correct way Change the pointer to the next memory block: • int foo = 5; • int *foo_pr = &foo; • foo_pr ++; Pointer arithmetics • char *mychar; // sizeof 1 byte • short *myshort; // sizeof 2 bytes • long *mylong; // sizeof 4 byts • mychar++; // increase by 1 byte • myshort++; // increase by 2 bytes • mylong++; // increase by 4 bytes Increase pointer is different from increase the dereference • *P++; // unary operation: go to the address of the pointer then increase its address and return a value • (*P)++; // get the value from the address of p then increase the value by 1 Arrays: • int array[] = {45,46,47}; • we can call the first element in the array by saying: *array or array[0].

  • Data Structures, Buffers, and Interprocess Communication
    Data Structures, Buffers, and Interprocess Communication We’ve looked at several examples of interprocess communication involving the transfer of data from one process to another process. We know of three mechanisms that can be used for this transfer: - Files - Shared Memory - Message Passing The act of transferring data involves one process writing or sending a buffer, and another reading or receiving a buffer. Most of you seem to be getting the basic idea of sending and receiving data for IPC… it’s a lot like reading and writing to a file or stdin and stdout. What seems to be a little confusing though is HOW that data gets copied to a buffer for transmission, and HOW data gets copied out of a buffer after transmission. First… let’s look at a piece of data. typedef struct { char ticker[TICKER_SIZE]; double price; } item; . item next; . The data we want to focus on is “next”. “next” is an object of type “item”. “next” occupies memory in the process. What we’d like to do is send “next” from processA to processB via some kind of IPC. IPC Using File Streams If we were going to use good old C++ filestreams as the IPC mechanism, our code would look something like this to write the file: // processA is the sender… ofstream out; out.open(“myipcfile”); item next; strcpy(next.ticker,”ABC”); next.price = 55; out << next.ticker << “ “ << next.price << endl; out.close(); Notice that we didn’t do this: out << next << endl; Why? Because the “<<” operator doesn’t know what to do with an object of type “item”.

  • Subtyping Recursive Types
    ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, 15(4), pp. 575-631, 1993. Subtyping Recursive Types Roberto M. Amadio1 Luca Cardelli CNRS-CRIN, Nancy DEC, Systems Research Center Abstract We investigate the interactions of subtyping and recursive types, in a simply typed λ-calculus. The two fundamental questions here are whether two (recursive) types are in the subtype relation, and whether a term has a type. To address the first question, we relate various definitions of type equivalence and subtyping that are induced by a model, an ordering on infinite trees, an algorithm, and a set of type rules. We show soundness and completeness between the rules, the algorithm, and the tree semantics. We also prove soundness and a restricted form of completeness for the model. To address the second question, we show that to every pair of types in the subtype relation we can associate a term whose denotation is the uniquely determined coercion map between the two types. Moreover, we derive an algorithm that, when given a term with implicit coercions, can infer its least type whenever possible. 1This author's work has been supported in part by Digital Equipment Corporation and in part by the Stanford-CNR Collaboration Project.

  • Subtyping, Declaratively an Exercise in Mixed Induction and Coinduction
    Subtyping, Declaratively An Exercise in Mixed Induction and Coinduction Nils Anders Danielsson and Thorsten Altenkirch University of Nottingham Abstract. It is natural to present subtyping for recursive types coin- ductively. However, Gapeyev, Levin and Pierce have noted that there is a problem with coinductive definitions of non-trivial transitive inference systems: they cannot be \declarative"|as opposed to \algorithmic" or syntax-directed|because coinductive inference systems with an explicit rule of transitivity are trivial. We propose a solution to this problem. By using mixed induction and coinduction we define an inference system for subtyping which combines the advantages of coinduction with the convenience of an explicit rule of transitivity. The definition uses coinduction for the structural rules, and induction for the rule of transitivity. We also discuss under what condi- tions this technique can be used when defining other inference systems. The developments presented in the paper have been mechanised using Agda, a dependently typed programming language and proof assistant. 1 Introduction Coinduction and corecursion are useful techniques for defining and reasoning about things which are potentially infinite, including streams and other (poten- tially) infinite data types (Coquand 1994; Gim´enez1996; Turner 2004), process congruences (Milner 1990), congruences for functional programs (Gordon 1999), closures (Milner and Tofte 1991), semantics for divergence of programs (Cousot and Cousot 1992; Hughes and Moran 1995; Leroy and Grall 2009; Nakata and Uustalu 2009), and subtyping relations for recursive types (Brandt and Henglein 1998; Gapeyev et al. 2002). However, the use of coinduction can lead to values which are \too infinite”. For instance, a non-trivial binary relation defined as a coinductive inference sys- tem cannot include the rule of transitivity, because a coinductive reading of transitivity would imply that every element is related to every other (to see this, build an infinite derivation consisting solely of uses of transitivity).
