Thinking Skill of students. However, it shall prove to be a helping tool for all
types of students.
It aims at providing help to very high scorer students who may miss 100 out of
100 because of not being exposed to new type of questions, being used to only
conventional types of question, and not paying attention towards the topics
which are given in the reference books and syllabus of Computer Science as
per CBSE guidelines (Forexample Relational Algebra in database concepts and
extraordinary questions based on pointers in C++ programming).
It contains guidelines, hints, and solutions for really challenging questions and
topics.

Identifies-Names given to any variable, function, class, union etc.

Literals-Value of specific data type

Variable- memory block of certain size where value can be stored and changed.

Constant- memory block where value can be stored once but cant changed later on

Operator performs some action on data

Arithmetic(+,-,*,/,%)

Relational/comparison (<,>,<=,>=,==,!=).

Logical(AND(&&),OR(||),NOT(!).

Conditional (? :)

Precedence of operators:
++(post increment),--(post decrement)

Highest

++(pre increment),--(pre decrement),sizeof !(not),-(unary),+unary plus)


*(multiply), / (divide), %(modulus)
+(add),-(subtract)
<(less than),<=(less than or equal),>(greater than), >=(greater than or equal to)

&& (logical AND)
||(logical OR)
?:(conditional expression)
=(simple assignment) and other assignment operators(arithmetic assignment
operator)
, Comma operator

Low

Data type- A specifier to create memory block of some specific size and type
cout - Used to display value on monitor.

BASIC CONCEPTS OF OOPS


Some of the important object oriented features are namely:

Objects
Classes
Inheritance
Data Abstraction
Data Encapsulation
Polymorphism
Overloading
Reusability

Objects:
Object is the basic unit of object-oriented programming. Objects are identified by its unique name. An object
represents a particular instance of a class..

An Object is a collection of data members and associated member functions also known as methods.

Classes:

Classes are data types based on which objects are created.

Thus a Class represent a set of individual objects. Characteristics of an object are represented in a
class as Properties. The actions that can be performed by objects becomes functions of the class and
is referred to as Methods.

Inheritance:

Inheritance is the process of forming a new class from an existing class or base class. The base class
is also known as parent class or super class, The new class that is formed is called derived class.

Derived class is also known as a child class or sub class. Inheritance helps in reducing the overall
code size of the program, which is an important concept in object-oriented programming.

Data Abstraction:

Data Abstraction increases the power of programming language by creating user defined data types.

Data Abstraction also represents the needed information in the program without presenting the
details.

25

Data Encapsulation:

Data Encapsulation combines data and functions into a single unit called Class.

Data Encapsulation enables the important concept of data hiding possible.

Polymorphism:

Polymorphism allows routines to use variables of different types at different times.

An operator or function can be given different meanings or functions.

Polymorphism refers to a single function or multi-functioning operator performing in different ways.

Overloading:

Overloading is one type of Polymorphism.

It allows an object to have different meanings, depending on its context.

When an exiting operator or function begins to operate on new data type, or class, it is understood to
be overloaded.

Reusability:

This term refers to the ability for multiple programmers to use the same written and debugged existing
class of data.

The programmer can incorporate new features to the existing class, further developing the application
and allowing users to achieve increased performance.

IMPLEMENTATION OF OOPS IN C++


Constructors and Destructors

Constructors and destructors are special member functions of classes that are used to construct and
destroy class objects. Construction may involve memory allocation and initialization for objects.
Destruction may involve cleanup and deallocation of memory for objects.

The following restrictions apply to constructors and destructors:

Constructors and destructors do not have return types not even void nor can they return values.
References and pointers cannot be used on constructors and destructors because their addresses
cannot be taken.
Constructors cannot be declared with the keyword virtual.
Constructors and destructors cannot be declared static, const, or volatile.
Unions cannot contain class objects that have constructors or destructors.
The compiler automatically calls constructors when defining class objects and calls destructors when
class objects go out of scope.
. A constructor does not allocate memory for the class object its this pointer refers to, but may
allocate storage for more objects than its class object refers to. If memory allocation is required for
objects, constructors can explicitly call the new operator. During cleanup, a destructor may release
objects allocated by the corresponding constructor. To release objects, use the delete operator.
Derived classes do not inherit constructors or destructors from their base classes, but they do call the
constructor and destructor of base classes.
Constructors are also called when local or temporary class objects are created, and destructors are
called when local or temporary objects go out of scope.
You can call member functions from constructors or destructors.
constructor is a member function with the same name as its class.
For example:
class X {
public:
X();
// constructor for class X
};
Destructors are usually used to deallocate memory and do other cleanup for a class object and its
class members when the object is destroyed.
A destructor is called for a class object when that object passes out of scope or is explicitly deleted.
A destructor is a member function with the same name as its class prefixed by a ~ (tilde).
For example:
class X {
public:
X();
~X();

// Constructor for class X


// Destructor for class X

};
Class members that are class types can have their own destructors. Both base and derived classes can have
destructors, although destructors are not inherited. If a base class A or a member of A has a destructor, and
a class derived from A does not declare a destructor, a default destructor is generated.
The default destructor calls the destructors of the base class and members of the derived class.
The destructors of base classes and members are called in the reverse order of the completion of their
constructor:
The destructor for a class object is called before destructors for members and bases are called.
Destructors are implicitly called when an automatic object (a local object that has been declared auto or
register, or not declared as static or extern) or temporary object passes out of scope. They are implicitly
called at program termination for constructed external and static objects. Destructors are invoked when you
use the delete operator for objects created with the new operator.

27

Default Constructors and Destructors


If you don't declare a constructor or a destructor, the compiler makes one for you. The default constructor
and destructor take no arguments and do nothing.
What good is a constructor that does nothing? In part, it is a matter of form. All objects must be constructed
and destructed, and these do-nothing functions are called at the right time.

Using constructors and destructors.


// Demonstrates declaration of a constructors and
// destructor for the Cat class
#include <iostream.h>

// for cout

class Cat
{
public:
Cat(int initialAge);
~Cat();
int GetAge();
void SetAge(int age);
void Meow();
private:
int itsAge;
};

// begin declaration of the class

Cat::Cat(int initialAge)
{
itsAge = initialAge;
}
Cat::~Cat()
{
}

// begin public section


// constructor
// destructor
// accessor function
// accessor function
// begin private section
// member variable
// constructor definition of Cat,

// destroy the object of cat when it is no longer refered.

// GetAge, Public accessor function


// returns value of itsAge member
int Cat::GetAge()
{
return itsAge;
}
// Definition of SetAge, public accessor function
void Cat::SetAge(int age)
{
// set member variable its age to value passed in by parameter age
itsAge = age;
}
// definition of Meow method
// returns: void
// parameters: None
// action: Prints "meow" to screen
void Cat::Meow()
{
cout << "Meow.\n";
}

28

// create a cat, set its age, have it


// meow, tell us its age, then meow again.
int main()
{
Cat Frisky(5);
Frisky.Meow();
cout << "Frisky is a cat who is " ;
cout << Frisky.GetAge() << " years old.\n";
Frisky.Meow();
Frisky.SetAge(7);
cout << "Now Frisky is " ;
cout << Frisky.GetAge() << " years old.\n";
return 0;
}
Output: Meow.
Frisky is a cat who is 5 years old.
Meow.
Now Frisky is 7 years old.

Copy Constructor

A copy constructor is a special constructor in the C++ programming language used to create a new
object as a copy of an existing object.
Normally the compiler automatically creates a copy constructor for each class (known as a default
copy constructor) but for special cases the programmer creates the copy constructor, known as a
user-defined copy constructor. In such cases, the compiler does not create one.
Copying of objects is achieved by the use of a copy constructor and a assignment operator. A copy
constructor has as its first parameter a reference to its own class type. It can have more arguments,
but the rest must have default values associated with them. The following would be valid copy
constructors for class X:
X(const X& copyFromMe);
X(X& copyFromMe);
X(const X& copyFromMe, int = 10);
X(const X& copyFromMe, double = 1.0, int = 40);

The following cases may result in a call to a copy constructor:


When an object is returned by value
When an object is passed (to a function) by value as an argument
When an object is thrown
When an object is caught
When an object is placed in a brace-enclosed initializer list
An object can be assigned value using one of the two techniques:
Explicit assignment in an expression
Initialization
Explicit assignment in an expression
Object A;
Object B;
A = B;
// translates as Object::operator=(const Object&), thus A.operator=(B) is called
// (invoke simple copy, not copy constructor!)
Initialization
An object can be initialized by any one of the following ways.
a. Through declaration
Object B = A; // translates as Object::Object(const Object&) (invoke copy constructor)
b. Through function arguments
type function (Object a);
c. Through function return value
Object a = function();

29

The copy constructor is used only for initializations, and does not apply to assignments where the
assignment operator is used instead.
The implicit copy constructor of a class calls base copy constructors and copies its members by means
appropriate to their type. If it is a class type, the copy constructor is called. By using a user-defined copy
constructor the programmer can define the behavior to be performed when an object is copied.
Examples

These examples illustrate how copy constructors work and why they are required sometimes.
Implicit copy constructor
Let us consider the following example.
//copy constructor
#include <iostream>
class Person
{
public:
int age;
Person(int a)
{ age=a;}
};
int main()
{
Person timmy(10);
Person sally(15);
Person timmy_clone = timmy;
cout << timmy.age << " " << sally.age << " " << timmy_clone.age << endl;
timmy.age = 23;
cout << timmy.age << " " << sally.age << " " << timmy_clone.age << endl;
return 0;
}
Output
10 15 10
23 15 10
As expected, timmy has been copied to the new object, timmy_clone. While timmy's age was changed,
timmy_clone's age remained the same. This is because they are totally different objects.
The compiler has generated a copy constructor for us, and it could be written like this:
Person( Person& copy)
{ age=copy.age; }

INHERITANCE

Inheritance is the process by which new classes called derived classes are created from existing
classes called base classes.
The derived classes have all the features of the base class and the programmer can choose to add
new features specific to the newly created derived class.

Features or Advantages of Inheritance:


Reusability:

Inheritance helps the code to be reused in many situations.


The base class is defined and once it is compiled, it need not be reworked.
Using the concept of inheritance, the programmer can create as many derived classes from the base
class as needed while adding specific features to each derived class as needed.

Saves Time and Effort:


The above concept of reusability achieved by inheritance saves the programmer time and effort.
the main code written can be reused in various situations as needed.
Increases Program Structure which results in greater reliability.

Polymorphism
30

General Format for implementing the concept of Inheritance:


class derived_classname: access specifier baseclassname
For example, if the base class is exforsys and the derived class is sample it is specified as:
class sample: public exforsys
The above makes sample have access to both public and protected variables of base class exforsys.

Reminder about public, private and protected access specifiers:

If a member or variables defined in a class is private, then they are accessible by members of the
same class only and cannot be accessed from outside the class.
.

Public members and variables are accessible from outside the class.
.

Protected access specifier is a stage between private and public. If a member functions or variables
defined in a class are protected, then they cannot be accessed from outside the class but can be
accessed from the derived class.
Inheritance Example:
class exforsys
{
public:
exforsys(void) { x=0; }
void f(int n1)
{
x= n1*5;
}
void output(void) { cout<<x; }
private:
int x;
};
class sample: public exforsys
{
public:
sample(void) { s1=0; }
void f1(int n1)
{
s1=n1*10;
}
void output(void)
{
exforsys::output();
cout << s1;
}
private:
int s1;
};
int main(void)
{ sample s;
s.f(10);
s.output();
s.f1(20);
s.output();
}
The output of the above program is

Types of Inheritance
1. Single class Inheritance:

When class a gas inherited in class has known as base class and B class is know as derived
class. Here only two classes have linked to each other.
Class automobile

Class car

it is a Base class (super)

it is a sub class (derived)

2. Multilevel Inheritance:

In this type of inheritance, there are number of level and it has used in that cases where we
want to use all properties in number of levels according to the requirement
Class vehicle

Class automobile

Class Car

it is a Base class (super) of automobile


it is a sub class (derived) of automobile
and base class of class car

derived class(sub) of class automobile

33

3. Multiple Inheritances:

In this type of inheritance, number of classes has inherited in a single class.

Where two or more classes are, know as base class and one is derive class.

vehicle

automobile

Car

Base class

Derived class

4. Hierarchical Inheritance:

This type of inheritance helps us to create a baseless for number of classes and those numbers of
classes can have further their branches of number of class.

Base class (super)

Vehicle
automobile

car

Sub Class( derived)

5. Hybrid Inheritance:

In this type of inheritance, we can have mixture of number of inheritances but this can generate an
error of using same name function from no of classes, which will bother the compiler to how to use
the functions.

Therefore, it will generate errors in the program. This has known as ambiguity or duplicity.

DATA FILE HANDLING IN C++


Key Points:

Text file: A text file stores information in readable and printable form. Each line of text is terminated
with an EOL (End of Line) character.

Binary file: A binary file contains information in the non-readable form i.e. in the same format in which
it is held in memory.

Stream: A stream is a general term used to name flow of data. Different streams are used to
represent different kinds of data flow.

There are three file I/O classes used for file read / write operations.
o
o
o

ifstream
ofstream
fstream

can be used for read operations.


can be used for write operations.
can be used for both read & write operations.

fstream.h:
This header includes the definitions for the stream classes ifstream, ofstream and fstream. In C++ file
input output facilities implemented through fstream.h header file.
It contain predefines set of operation for handling file related input and output fstream.h class ties a
file to the program for input and output operation.
A file can be opened using:
o By the constructor of the stream. This method is preferred when single file is used with the
stream. (only for input / only for output)
o By the open() function of the stream.

File modes:

ios::out ios::in ios::app -

It creates file in output mode and allows writing into the file.
It creates file in input mode and permit reading from the file.
To retain the previous contents of the file and to append to the end of existing
file.
ios::ate To place the file pointer at the end of the file, but you can write data any where
in the file.
ios::trunc It truncates the existing file (empties the file).
ios::nocreate - If file does not exist this file mode ensures that no file is created and open()
fails.
ios::noreplace - If file does not exist, a new file gets created but if the file already exists, the
open() fails.
ios::binary
Opens a file in binary.

eof():

This function determines the end-of-file by returning true for end of file otherwise returning false.

36

open():If you want to manage multiple file with same stream use open().
Stream_object.open(Filename,(Filemode));
e.g., fstream fio;
fio.open(book.dat, ios::out | ios::in | ios::binary);
close(): This function terminates the connection between the file and stream associated with it.
Stream_object.close();

read(): The read() function reads a fixed number of bytes from the specified stream and puts them in the
buffer.

Stream_object.read((char *)& Object, sizeof(Object));


write(): The write() function writes fixed number of bytes from a specific memory location to the specified
stream.

Stream_object.write((char *)& Object, sizeof(Object));


Note:
Both functions take two arguments.
The first is the address of variable, and the second is the length of that variable in bytes. The address of
variable must be type cast to type char*(pointer to character type)
The data written to a file using write( ) can only be read accurately using read( ).

get pointer: A get pointer indicates the position in the file at which the next input is to occur.
put pointer: It indicates the position in the file at which the next output is to be placed.
seekg(): It places the get pointer to the specified position in a stream.
seekp(): It places the put pointer to the specified position in a stream.
tellg(): This function returns the current position of the get pointer in a stream.
tellp(): This function returns the current position of the put pointer in a stream.
Steps To Process A File

Determine the type of link required.


Declare a stream for the desired types of link.
Attach the desired file to the declared stream.
Process the file.
Close the file link with stream.

e.g
ifstream fin(book.txt);
char ch;
fin>>ch; //fin.get(ch);
cout<<ch;
e.g,:
ofstream fout(book.txt);
char ch;
cin>>ch;
fout<<ch; // fout.put(ch);

Open file book.txt,


read file and
display the character
from the file.

Create and open file


book.txt, write data
into file from the
variable.

37

Write a function in a C++ to count the number of lowercase alphabets present in a text file
BOOK.txt.
int countalpha()
{
ifstream Fin(BOOK.txt);

if (islower(ch))
count++;
}
Fin.close();
return count;
}

while(File)
{
File.get(ch);
a[i]=ch;
i++;
if((ch== ) || ch(== .))

POINTERS
Key points to remember:
Pointer:
A kind of memory variable that holds the address of other variable of same data type.
Reference operator (&) As soon as we declare a variable, the amount of memory needed is
assigned for it at a specific location in memory (its memory address).
This reference to a variable can be obtained by preceding the identifier of a variable with an
ampersand sign (&), known as reference operator, and which can be literally translated as "address
of".
For example:
ted = &andy;
Consider the following code fragment:
andy = 25;
fred = andy;
ted = &andy;
The values contained in each variable after the execution of this, are shown in the following diagram:
First, we have assigned the value 25 to andy (a variable whose address in memory we have assumed to be
1776).

Dereference operator (*)


a variable which stores a reference to another variable is called a pointer.
Pointers are said to "point to" the variable whose reference they store.Using a pointer we can directly
access the value stored in the variable which it points to.
To do this, we simply have to precede the pointer's identifier with an asterisk (*), which acts as
dereference operator and that can be literally translated to "value pointed by".
Therefore, following with the values of the previous example, if we write:
beth = *ted;
(that we could read as: "beth equal to value pointed by ted") beth would take the value 25, since ted is 1776,
and the value pointed by 1776 is 25. You must clearly differentiate that the expression ted refers to the value
1776, while *ted (with an asterisk * preceding the identifier) refers to the value stored at address 1776, which
in this case is 25. Notice the difference of including or not including the dereference operator (I have included
an explanatory commentary of how each of
these two expressions could be read):
beth = ted; // beth equal to ted ( 1776 )
beth = *ted; // beth equal to value pointed by ted ( 25 )

Declaring variables of pointer types

Due to the ability of a pointer to directly refer to the value that it points to, it becomes necessary to
specify in its declaration which data type a pointer is going to point to. It is not the same thing to point
to a char as to point to an int or a float.

45

The declaration of pointers follows this format: type * name; where type is the data type of the value
that the pointer is intended to point to. This type is not the type of the pointer itself! but the type of the
data the pointer points to. For example:
o int * number;
o char * character;
o float * greatnumber;

Now have a look at this code:


// my first pointer
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
int firstvalue, secondvalue;
int * mypointer;
mypointer = &firstvalue;
*mypointer = 10;
mypointer = &secondvalue;
*mypointer = 20;
cout << "firstvalue is " << firstvalue << endl;
cout << "secondvalue is " << secondvalue << endl;
return 0;
}
firstvalue is 10
secondvalue is 20
// more pointers
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
int firstvalue = 5, secondvalue = 15;
int * p1, * p2;
p1 = &firstvalue; // p1 = address of firstvalue
p2 = &secondvalue; // p2 = address of secondvalue
*p1 = 10; // value pointed by p1 = 10
*p2 = *p1; // value pointed by p2 = value pointed by
p1
p1 = p2; // p1 = p2 (value of pointer is copied)
*p1 = 20; // value pointed by p1 = 20
cout << "firstvalue is " << firstvalue << endl;
cout << "secondvalue is " << secondvalue << endl;
return 0;
}

firstvalue is 10
secondvalue is 20
Notice that there are expressions with pointers p1 and p2, both with and without dereference operator (*).
The meaning of an expression using the dereference operator (*) is very different from one that does not:
When this operator precedes the pointer name, the expression refers to the value being pointed, while when
a pointer name appears without this operator, it refers to the value of the pointer itself (i.e. the address of
what the pointer is pointing to).

Pointers and arrays

The concept of array is very much bound to the one of pointer.


In fact, the identifier of an array is equivalent to the address of its first element, as a pointer is equivalent
to the address of the first element that it points to, so in fact they are the same concept.

46

For example, supposing these two declarations:


int numbers [20];
int * p;
The following assignment operation would be valid:
p = numbers;
After that, p and numbers would be equivalent and would have the same properties.
The only difference is that we could change the value of pointer p by another one, whereas numbers
will always point to the first of the 20 elements of type int with which it was defined.
Therefore, unlike p, which is an ordinary pointer, numbers is an array, and an array can be
considered a constant pointer. Therefore, the following allocation would not be valid:
numbers = p;
Because numbers is an array, so it operates as a constant pointer, and we cannot assign values to
constants.
Due to the characteristics of variables, all expressions that include pointers in the following example
are perfectly

valid:
// more pointers
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
int numbers[5];
int * p;
p = numbers; *p = 10;
p++; *p = 20;
p = &numbers[2]; *p = 30;
p = numbers + 3; *p = 40;
p = numbers; *(p+4) = 50;
for (int n=0; n<5; n++)
cout << numbers[n] << ", ";
return 0;
}
10, 20, 30, 40, 50,
In arrays we used brackets ([]) to specify the index of an element of the array to which we wanted to refer.
Well, these bracket sign operators [] are also a dereference operator known as offset operator. They
dereference the variable they follow just as * does, but they also add the number between brackets to the
address being dereferenced. For example:
a[5] = 0; // a [offset of 5] = 0
*(a+5) = 0; // pointed by (a+5) = 0
These two expressions are equivalent and valid both if a is a pointer or if a is an array.

Pointer initialization
When declaring pointers we may want to explicitly specify which variable we want them to
point to:
int number;
int *tommy = &number;
The behavior of this code is equivalent to:
int number;
int *tommy;
tommy = &number;

When a pointer initialization takes place we are always assigning the reference value to where the
pointer points (tommy), never the value being pointed (*tommy).
As in the case of arrays, the compiler allows the special case that we want to initialize the content at which
the pointer points with constants at the same moment the pointer is declared:

47

char * terry = "hello";


In this case, memory space is reserved to contain "hello" and then a pointer to the first character of this
memory block is assigned to terry. If we imagine that "hello" is stored at the memory locations that start at
addresses 1702, we can represent the previous declaration as: It is important to indicate that terry contains
the value 1702, and not 'h' nor hello", although 1702 indeed is the address of both of these. For example, we
can access the fifth element of the array with any of these two expression:
*(terry+4)
terry[4]
Both expressions have a value of 'o' (the fifth element of the array).

Pointer arithmetics

To conduct arithmetical operations on pointers is a little different than to conduct them on regular
integer data types.
To begin with, only addition and subtraction operations are allowed to be conducted with them, the
others make no sense in the world of pointers.
But both addition and subtraction have a different behavior with pointers according to the size of the
data type to which they point.

For example, let's assume that in a given compiler for a specific machine,
char takes 1 byte, short takes 2 bytes and long takes 4.
Suppose that we define three pointers in this compiler:
char *mychar;
short *myshort;
long *mylong;
and that we know that they point to memory locations 1000, 2000 and 3000 respectively.
So if we write:
mychar++;
myshort++;
mylong++;
mychar, as you may expect, would contain the value 1001. But not so obviously, myshort would contain the
value 2002, and mylong would contain 3004, even though they have each been increased only once. The
reason is that when adding one to a pointer we are making it to point to the following element of the same
type with which it has been defined, and therefore the size in bytes of the type pointed is added to the
pointer. This is applicable both when adding and subtracting any number to a pointer. It would happen
exactly the same if we write:
mychar = mychar + 1;
myshort = myshort + 1;
mylong = mylong + 1;
Both the increase (++) and decrease (--) operators have greater operator precedence than the dereference
operator (*), but both have a special behavior when used as suffix (the expression is evaluated with the value
it had before being increased). Therefore, the following expression may lead to confusion:
*p++
Because ++ has greater precedence than *, this expression is equivalent to *(p++). Therefore, what it does is
to increase the value of p (so it now points to the next element), but because ++ is used as postfix the whole
expression is evaluated as the value pointed by the original reference (the address the pointer pointed to
before being increased).
Notice the difference with:
(*p)++
Here, the expression would have been evaluated as the value pointed by p increased by one. The value of p
(the pointer itself) would not be modified (what is being modified is what it is being pointed to by this pointer).
If we write:
*p++ = *q++;
Because ++ has a higher precedence than *, both p and q are increased, but because both increase
operators (++) are used as postfix and not prefix, the value assigned to *p is *q before both p and q are
increased. And then both are increased. It would be roughly equivalent to:
*p = *q;

48

++p;
++q;
Like always, I recommend you to use parentheses () in order to avoid unexpected results and to give more
legibility to the code.

Pointers to pointers

C++ allows the use of pointers that point to pointers, that these, in its turn, point to data (or even to
other pointers). In order to do that, we only need to add an asterisk (*) for each level of reference in
their declarations:

char a;
char * b;
char ** c;
a = 'z';
b = &a;
c = &b;
This, supposing the randomly chosen memory locations for each variable of 7230, 8092 and 10502, could be
represented as: The value of each variable is written inside each cell; under the cells are their respective
addresses in memory. The new thing in this example is variable c, which can be used in three different levels
of indirection, each one of them would correspond to a different value:
c has type char** and a value of 8092
*c has type char* and a value of 7230
**c has type char and a value of 'z'

Null pointer
A null pointer is a regular pointer of any pointer type which has a special value that indicates
that it is not pointing to any valid reference or memory address.
This value is the result of type-casting the integer value zero to any pointer type.
int * p;
p = 0; // p has a null pointer value
Do not confuse null pointers with void pointers.
A null pointer is a value that any pointer may take to represent that it is pointing to "nowhere",
while a void pointer is a special type of pointer that can point to somewhere without a specific
type. One refers to the value stored in the pointer itself and the other to the type of data it
points to.
Dynamic Memory

Until now, in all our programs, we have only had as much memory available as we declared for our
variables, having the size of all of them to be determined in the source code, before the execution of
the program.
But, what if we need a variable amount of memory that can only be determined during runtime? For
example, in the case that we need some user input to determine the necessary amount of memory
space.
The answer is dynamic memory, for which C++ integrates the operators new and delete.

Operators new and new[]

In order to request dynamic memory we use the operator new.


new is followed by a data type specifier and -if a sequence of more than one element is required- the number of
these within brackets []. It returns a pointer to the beginning of the new block of memory allocated. Its form

is:
pointer = new type
pointer = new type [number_of_elements]

49

The first expression is used to allocate memory to contain one single element of type type. The second one
is used to assign a block (an array) of elements of type type, where number_of_elements is an integer value
representing the amount of these. For example:
int * bobby;
bobby = new int [5];
In this case, the system dynamically assigns space for five elements of type int and returns a pointer to the
first element of the sequence, which is assigned to bobby. Therefore, now, bobby points to a valid block of
memory with space for five elements of type int. The first element pointed by bobby can be accessed either
with the expression bobby[0] or the expression *bobby. The second element can be accessed either with
bobby[1] or *(bobby+1) and so on...

Operators delete and delete[ ]

Since the necessity of dynamic memory is usually limited to specific moments within a program, once
it is no longer needed it should be freed so that the memory becomes available again for other
requests of dynamic memory.
This is the purpose of the operator delete, whose format is:
o delete pointer;
o delete [] pointer;
The first expression should be used to delete memory allocated for a single element, and the second
one for memory allocated for arrays of elements.

UNIT 2: DATA STRUCTURES


A data structure is a particular way of storing and organizing data in a computer so that it can be used
efficiently.Different kinds of data structures are suited to different kinds of applications.
Types of data structure
There are two types of data structures
Linear data structure-Array,Linked list,Stack,Queue
Non-Linear data structue Graph and Tree

Array-

An array of airplanes

An array of cards

An array of bugs

An array of characters

An array is a group of items that can be identified as similar because they are of the same nature.
Arrays come in two flavors: one dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays. Everyone of the pictures above
represents a single dimensional array.

Declaring an Array
Like any other variable, the syntax of declaring an array is:
DataType ArrayName[dimension/order]
The array is first identified by its kind, which could be a char, an int, a float, etc; followed by its name that
follows the C++ naming rules. The name is then followed by square brackets that specify the dimension of
the array or its size.
Here are examples of declaring arrays:
int age[12];
float grade[100];
double angle[360];
int Age[12]; declares a group or array of 12 values, each one being an integer.
float Grade[100]; declares an array of 100 floating-point values.

double Angle[360]; declares an array of double-precision numbers. There are 360 of these items in
the group.
Initializing an Array
52

Just like any variable can be initialized, an array also can be initialized. To accomplish this, for a
one-dimensional array, the syntax used is:
DataType ArrayName[dimension] = { element1, element2, , elementn};
Here are examples of declaring an initializing arrays:
int number[12] = {18, 42, 25, 12, 34, 15, 63, 72, 92, 26, 26, 12};
double distance[5] = {44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78, 6.28};
Processing the Elements of an Array
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
double distance[] = {44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78, 6.28};
cout << "2nd member = " << distance[1] << endl;
cout << "5th member = " << distance[4] << endl;
return 0;
}
This would produce:
2nd member = 720.52
5th member = 6.28
Operations on Arrays
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
// We know that we need a constant number of elements
const int max = 10;
int number[max];
// We will calculate their sum
int sum = 0;
cout << "Please type 10 integers.\n";
for( int i = 0; i < max; i++ )
{
cout << "Number " << i + 1 << ": ";
cin >> number[i];
sum += number[i];
}
cout << "\n\nThe sum of these numbers is " << Sum << "\n\n";
return 0;
}

Arrays and Functions


An array can be passed to a function as argument.

An array can also be returned by a function. To declare and define that a function takes an array as
argument, declare the function as you would do for any regular function and, in its parentheses,
specify that the argument is an array.Here is an example:
#include <iostream>
void DisplayTheArray(double member[5]);
int main()
{
const int numberOfItems = 5;

53

double distance[numberOfItems] = {44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78, 6.28};


return 0;
}
void DisplayTheArray(double member[5])
{
for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
cout << "\nDistance " << i + 1 << ": " << member[i];
cout << endl;
}
You don't have to specify the dimension of the array. This means that you can leave the square brackets
empty:
#include <iostream>
void DisplayTheArray(double member[]);
int main()
{
const int NumberOfItems = 5;
double distance[NumberOfItems] = {44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78, 6.28};
return 0;
}
void DisplayTheArray(double member[ ])
{
for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
cout << "\nDistance " << i + 1 << ": " << member[i];
cout << endl;
}
Practice :#include <iostream>
void DisplayTheArray(double member[])
{
for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
cout << "\nDistance " << i + 1 << ": " << member[i];
cout << endl;
}
int main()
{
const int numberOfItems = 5;
double distance[numberOfItems] = {44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78, 6.28};
cout << "Members of the array";
DisplayTheArray(distance);
return 0;
}
This would produce:
Members of the array
Distance 1: 44.14
Distance 2: 720.52
Distance 3: 96.08
Distance 4: 468.78
Distance 5: 6.28

54

Practice :-#include <iostream>


void DisplayTheArray(double member[])
{
for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
cout << "\nDistance " << i + 1 << ": " << member[i];
cout << endl;
}
int main()
{
const int NumberOfItems = 5;
double distance[NumberOfItems] = {44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78, 6.28};
cout << "Members of the array";
DisplayTheArray(distance[3]);
return 0;
}
Practice:- #include <iostream>
void DisplayTheArray(double mbr[ ], int count);
int main()
{
double distance[] = {44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78, 6.28, 68.04, 364.55, 6234.12};
// Processing 5 members of the array
cout << "Members of the array";
DisplayTheArray(distance, 5);
// Processing all members of the array
int sizeOfArray = sizeof(Distance)/sizeof(double);
cout << "\nMembers of the array";
DisplayTheArray(distance, sizeOfArray);
return 0;
}
void DisplayTheArray(double member[], int counter)
{
for(int i = 0; i < counter; ++i)
cout << "\nDistance " << i + 1 << ": " << member[i];
cout << endl;
}
This would produce:
Members of the array
Distance 1: 44.14
Distance 2: 720.52
Distance 3: 96.08
Distance 4: 468.78
Distance 5: 6.28
Members of the array

Searching
Linear search: Linear search or sequential search is a method for finding a particular value in a list, that
consists of checking every one of its elements, one at a time and in sequence, until the desired one is found.
function for linear search

55

#include <iostream>
int LinearSearch(int Array[], const int Size, const int ValToSearch)
{
bool NotFound = true;
int i = 0;
while(i < Size && NotFound)
{
if(ValToSearch != Array[i])
i++;
else
NotFound = false;
}
if( NotFound == false )
return i;
else
return -1;
}
int main()
{
int Number[] = { 67, 278, 463, 2, 4683, 812, 236, 38 };
int Quantity = sizeof(Number) / sizeof(int);
int NumberToSearch = 0;
cout << "Enter the number to search: "; cin >> NumberToSearch;
int i = LinearSearch(Number, Quantity, NumberToSearch);
if(i == -1)
cout << NumberToSearch << " was not found in the collection\n\n";
else
{
cout << NumberToSearch << " is at the " << i+1;
if( i == 0 )
cout<< "st position of the collection\n\n";
else if( i == 1 )
cout<< "nd position of the collection\n\n";
else if( i == 2 )
cout<< "rd position of the collection\n\n";
else
cout<< "th position of the collection\n\n";
}
return 0;
}
Binary search
A binary search is an algorithm for locating the position of an element in a sorted array. It inspects the
middle element of the sorted list: if equal to the sought value, then the position has been found; otherwise,
the upper half or lower half is chosen for further searching based on whether the sought value is greater than
or less than the middle element. The method reduces the number of elements needed to be checked by a
factor of two each time, and finds the sought value if it exists in the list or if not determines "not present", in
logarithmic time. A binary search is a dichotomic divide and conquer search algorithm.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void binsearch(int ar[],int size,int ele)

56

int lb=0,ub=size-1,mid;
for(;lb<ub;)
{
mid=(lb+ub)/2;

//lb=>lower bound,ub=>upper bound

if(ar[mid]==ele)
{
cout<<"\n SEARCH SUCCESSFUL";
break;
}
else
if(ar[mid]<ele)
ub=mid-1;
else
if(ar[mid]>ele)
lb=mid+1;
}
if(ub<lb)
cout<<"\n SEARCH UNSUCCESSFUL";
}
void sort(int ar[],int size)
//sorts the array in ascending array using bubble sort
{
int temp;
for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
for(int j=0;j<size-i-1;j++)
if(ar[j]>ar[j+1])
{
temp=ar[j];
ar[j]=ar[j+1];
ar[j+1]=temp;
}
}
void display(int ar[],int size)
{
for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
cout<<'\n'<<ar[i];
}
void input(int ar[],int size)
{
for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
cin>>ar[i];
}
void main()
{
clrscr();
int size;
cout<<"\n ENTER THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS REQUIRED IN THE ARRAY :";
cin>>size;
int *ar=new int(size);
cout<<"\n ENTER THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARRAY :\n";
input(ar,size);
//takes the input from the array
sort(ar,size);
//sorts the array in the ascending order
int ele;
cout<<"\n ENTER THE ELEMENT TO BE FOUND :\n";

57

cin>>ele;
getch();
}

Sorting
A sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order
1. Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm, a comparison sort in which the sorted array (or list) is
built one entry at a time.
#include <iostream>
#define ELEMENTS 6
void insertion_sort(int x[],int length)
{
int key,i;
for(int j=1;j<length;j++)
{
key=x[j];
i=j-1;
while(x[i]>key && i>=0)
{
x[i+1]=x[i];
i--;
}
x[i+1]=key;
}
}
int main()
{
int A[ELEMENTS]={5,2,4,6,1,3};
int x;
cout<<"NON SORTED LIST:"<<endl;
for(x=0;x<ELEMENTS;x++)
{
cout<<A[x]<<endl;
}
insertion_sort(A,ELEMENTS);
cout<<endl<<"SORTED LIST"<<endl;
for(x=0;x<ELEMENTS;x++)
{
cout<<A[x]<<endl;
}
return 0;
}

2. Selection Sort

Selection sort is a sorting algorithm, specifically an in-place comparison sort. It has O(n2) complexity,
making it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than the similar insertion sort
void SelectionSort(int A[], int length)
{
int i, j, min, minat;
for(i = 0; i<(length-1); i++)
{

58

minat = i;
min = A[i];
for(j = i+1;j < length; j++) //select the min of the rest of array
{
if(min > A[j]) //ascending order for descending reverse
{
minat = j; //the position of the min element
min = A[j];
}
}
int temp = A[i];
A[i] = A[minat]; //swap
A[minat]=temp;
}
}//end selection sort

3. Bubble Sort
Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm. It works by repeatedly stepping through the list to be sorted,
comparing each pair of adjacent items and swapping them if they are in the wrong order
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int compare(int, int);
void sort(int[], const int);
int compare(int x, int y)
{
return(x > y);
}
void sort(int table[], const int n)
{
int t;
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < n-1; j++)
{
if(compare(table[j], table[j+1]))
{
t=table[j];
table[j]=table[j+1];
table[j+1]=t;
}
}
}
}
int quantity;
int tab[100];
int main()
{
cout << "Input quantity: ";
cin >> quantity;
cout << "Input numbers: \n\n";
for (int i = 0; i < quantity; i++)

59

{
int x = i;
cout << "#" << ++x << ": ";
cin >> tab[i];
}
cout << "\nBefore sorting: ";
for (int i = 0; i < quantity; i++)
{
cout << tab[i] << " ";
}
cout << "\nAfter sorting: ";
sort(tab, quantity);
for(int i = 0; i < quantity; i++)
{
cout << tab[i] << " ";
}
return 0;}

Two-Dimensional Arrays
A 2-dimensional array is an
array of arrays. In other
words, it is an array where
each member of the array is
also an array. Consider the
below table
Declaring and Initializing a
2-Dimensional Array
Like the above table, a 2dimensional array is made
rows and columns. To declare
it, use double pair of a
opening and closing square
brackets. Here is an example:

int numberOfStudentsPerClass[12][50];
Based on this, when initializing a 2-dimensional array, make sure you provide a number of values that is
less than or equal to the number of members.
Here is an example:
double distance[2][4] = {44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78, 6.28, 68.04, 364.55, 6234.12};
Processing a 2-Dimensional Array
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
double distance[][4] = {
{ 44.14, 720.52, 96.08, 468.78 },
{ 6.28, 68.04, 364.55, 6234.12 }
};
// Scan the array from the 3rd to the 7th member

60

cout << "Members of the array";


for(int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
for(int j = 0; j < 4; ++j)
cout << "\nDistance [" << i << "][" << j << "]: " << distance[i][j];
cout << endl;
return 0;
}

STACKS
Stacks are commonly used Data Structures while writing code. It's concept is really simple which
makes it even simpler to write it in code. Consider this situation. There are a pile of 5 Books on a Table. You
want to add one book to the pile. What do you do? You simply add the book on the TOP of the pile. What if
you want the third book from the new 6 book pile? You then lift each book one by one from the TOP until the
third book reaches the top. Then you take the third book and replace all the others back into the pile by
adding them from the TOP.
#include <iostream>
#define MAX 10
// MAXIMUM STACK CONTENT
class stack
{
private:
int arr[MAX]; // Contains all the Data
int top;
//Contains location of Topmost Data pushed onto Stack
public:
stack()
//Constructor
{
top=-1;
//Sets the Top Location to -1 indicating an empty stack
}
void push(int a) // Push ie. Add Value Function
{
top++;
// increment to by 1
if(top<MAX)
{
arr[top]=a; //If Stack is Vacant store Value in Array
}
else
{
cout<<"STACK FULL!!"<<endl;
top--;
}
}
int pop()
// Delete Item. Returns the deleted item
{
if(top==-1)
{
cout<<"STACK IS EMPTY!!!"<<endl;
return NULL;
}
else
{
int data=arr[top]; //Set Topmost Value in data
arr[top]=NULL;
//Set Original Location to NULL
top--;
// Decrement top by 1
return data;
// Return deleted item
}

61

}
};
int main()
{
stack a;
a.push(3);
cout<<"3 is Pushed\n";
a.push(10);
cout<<"10 is Pushed\n";
a.push(1);
cout<<"1 is Pushed\n\n";
cout<<a.pop()<<" is Popped\n";
cout<<a.pop()<<" is Popped\n";
cout<<a.pop()<<" is Popped\n";
return 0;
}
Output:
3 is Pushed
10 is Pushed
1 is Pushed
1 is Popped
10 is Popped
3 is Popped
Clearly we can see that the last data pushed is the first one to be popped out.That's why a Stack is also
known as a LIFO Data Structure which stands for "LastIn,First Out" and I guess you know why.
Let us see how we implemented the stack. We first created a variable called top that points to the top of the
stack. It is initialised to -1 to indicate that the stack is empty. As Data is entered, the value in top increments
itself and data is stored into an array arr. Now there's one drawback to this Data Structure. Here we state the
Maximum number of elements as 10. What if we need more than 10 Data Elements? In that case we
combine a Stack along with a Linked List which will be explained later.

1. Array implementation
The array implementation aims to create an array where the first element (usually at the zero-offset) is the
bottom. That is, array[0] is the first element pushed onto the stack and the last element popped off. The
program must keep track of the size, or the length of the stack. The stack itself can therefore be effectively
implemented as a two-element structure in C:
typedef struct {
int size;
int items[STACKSIZE];
} STACK;
The push() operation is used both to initialize the stack, and to store values to it. It is responsible for inserting
(copying) the value into the ps->items[] array and for incrementing the element counter (ps->size). In a
responsible C implementation, it is also necessary to check whether the array is already full to prevent an
overrun.
void push(STACK *ps, int x)
{
if (ps->size == STACKSIZE) {
cout<<"Error: stack overflow\n";
abort();
} else
ps->items[ps->size++] = x;

62

}
The pop() operation is responsible for removing a value from the stack, and decrementing the value of ps>size. A responsible C implementation will also need to check that the array is not already empty.
int pop(STACK *ps)
{
if (ps->size == 0){
cout<<"Error: stack underflow\n";
abort();
} else
return ps->items[--ps->size];
}
2. Linked list implementation
The linked-list implementation is equally simple and straightforward. In fact, a stack linked-list is much
simpler than most linked-list implementations: it requires that we implement a linked-list where only the head
node or element can be removed, or popped, and a node can only be inserted by becoming the new head
node.
Unlike the array implementation, our structure typedef corresponds not to the entire stack structure, but to a
single node:
typedef struct stack {
int data;
struct stack *next;
} STACK;
Such a node is identical to a typical linked-list node, at least to those that are implemented in C.
The push() operation both initializes an empty stack, and adds a new node to a non-empty one. It works by
receiving a data value to push onto the stack, along with a target stack, creating a new node by allocating
memory for it, and then inserting it into a linked list as the new head:
void push(STACK **head, int value)
{
STACK *node =new STACK; /* create a new node */
if (node == NULL){
cout<<"Error: no space available for node\n";
abort();
} else {
/* initialize node */
node->data = value;
node->next = empty(*head) ? NULL : *head; /* insert new head if any */
*head = node;
}
}
A pop() operation removes the head from the linked list, and assigns the pointer to the head to the previous
second node. It check whether the list is empty before popping from it:
int pop(STACK **head)
{
if (empty(*head)) {
/* stack is empty */
cout<<"Error: stack underflow\n";
abort();
} else {
/* pop a node */
STACK *top = *head;
int value = top->data;
*head = top->next;
Delete top;
return value;
}
}

63

Infix, Postfix and Prefix


Infix notation: X + Y
Operators are written in-between their operands. This is the usual way we write expressions. An
expression such as A * ( B + C ) / D is usually taken to mean something like: "First add B and C
together, then multiply the result by A, then divide by D to give the final answer." Infix notation needs
extra information to make the order of evaluation of the operators clear: rules built into the language
about operator precedence and associativity, and brackets ( ) to allow users to override these rules.
Postfix notation (also known as "Reverse Polish notation"): X Y +
Operators are written after their operands. The infix expression given above is equivalent to
A B C + * D /. The order of evaluation of operators is always left-to-right, and brackets cannot be used
to change this order. Because the "+" is to the left of the "*" in the example above, the addition must
be performed before the multiplication. Operators act on values immediately to the left of them.
Prefix notation (also known as "Polish notation"): + X Y
Operators are written before their operands. The expressions given above are equivalent to
/ * A + B C D. As for Postfix, operators are evaluated left-to-right and brackets are superfluous.
Operators act on the two nearest values on the right. I have again added (totally unnecessary)
brackets to make this clear:
(/ (* A (+ B C) ) D)
Examples:
Infix
A*B+C/D

Postfix

Prefix

Notes

A B * C D / + + * A B / C D multiply A and B, divide C by D, add the results

A * (B + C) / D A B C + * D / / * A + B C D add B and C, multiply by A, divide by D


A * (B + C / D) A B C D / + * * A + B / C D divide C by D, add B, multiply by A

QUEUES
There's a huge crowd at your local grocery store. There are too many people trying to buy their
respective items and the Shopkeeper doesnt know from where to start. Everyone wants their job done
quickly and the shopkeeper needs an efficient method to solve this problem. What does he do? He
introduces a Queue System based on the First Come, First Serve System. The Last Person trying to
buy an item stands behind the last person at the END of the queue. The Shopkeeper however is present at
the FRONT end of the queue. He gives the item to the person in FRONT of the queue and after the
transaction is done, the person in FRONT of the Queue Leaves. Then the person second in queue becomes
the First person in the Queue.

cout<<"Deletion Number : "<<(i+1)<<" : ";
a.display();
cout<<endl;
}
return 0;
}
OUTPUT:
Queue before adding Elements: EMPTY
Addition Number : 1 : 32
Addition Number : 2 : 32 23
Addition Number : 3 : 32 23 45
Addition Number : 4 : 32 23 45 99
Addition Number : 5 : 32 23 45 99 24
Queue after adding Elements: 32 23 45 99 24
Deletion Number : 1 : 23 45 99 24

Deletion Number : 2 : 45 99 24
Deletion Number : 3 : 99 24
Deletion Number : 4 : 24
Deletion Number : 5 : EMPTY
As you can clearly see through the output of this program that addition is
always done at the end of the queue while deletion is done from the front end of
the queue
QUEUES WITH LINKED LIST IMPLEMENTATION
Similar to the one above, the queued linked list removes the maximum data limit
as well. Here is the code:

q.add(55);
cout<<"\nItem Deleted = "<<q.del();

UNIT 3 : DATABASES AND SQL


DATA BASE CONCEPT
Table: A Table is used to store Data
View: A view is the temporary table created using Original table.
Sequence: Sequences are used to generate Primary key value.
Index: They are used to improve queries.
Synonym: They give alternative names to objects.
Primary Key: The primary key of a relational table uniquely identifies each record in the table.
Primary keys may consist of a single attribute or multiple attributes in combination.

Candidate Key: A candidate key is a combination of attributes that can be uniquely used to identify
a database record without any extraneous data. Each table may have one or more candidate keys.
Alternate Key: An alternate key (or secondary key) is any candidate key which is not selected to be
the primary key.
Foreign Key: A foreign key is a field (or fields) that points to the primary key of another table. The
purpose of the foreign key is to ensure referential integrity of the data. In other words, only values that
are supposed to appear in the database are permitted.
Tuples: The rows of tables (relations) are generally referred to as tuples.
Attribute: The columns of tables are generally referred to as attribute.
Degree: The number of attributes in a relation determines the degree of a relation.
Cardinality: The number of rows in a relation is known as Cardinality.
Constraints: Constraints are used to enforce rules at table level when ever row is inserted,
updated/deleted from table.
Column Alias: In many cases heading table may not be descriptive and hence it difficult to
understand. In such case we use columns alias. It will change column heading with column alias.
DBA: The DBA must be a manager, more than a technician-seeking to meet the needs of people
who use the data. Since many user may share the same data resource, the DBA must be prepared to
meet the need and objective.
DDL: The DDL provides statements for the creation and deletion of tables and indexes.
DML: The DML provides statements to enter, update, delete data and perform complex queries on
these tables.
Select Operation: The select operation selects tuples from a relation which satisfy a given
condition. It is denoted by lowercase Greek Letter (sigma).
Project Operation: The project operation selects columns from a relation which satisfy a given
condition. It is denoted by lowercase Greek Letter (pi). It can be thought of as picking a sub set of
all available columns.
Union Operation: The union (denoted as )of a collection of relations is the set of all distinct
tuples in the collection. It is a binary operation that needs two relations.
Set Difference Operation: This is denoted by (minus) and is a binary operation. It results in a
set of tuples that are in one relation but not in another.

Tables
In relational database systems (DBS) data are represented using tables (relations). A query issued against
the DBS also results in a table. A table has the following structure:
Column 1 Column 2 . . . Column n
Tuple (or Record)
A table can have up to 254 columns which may have different or same data types and sets of values
(domains), respectively. Possible domains are alphanumeric data (strings), numbers and date formats.
Oracle offers the following basic data types:

73

char(n): Fixed-length character data (string), n characters long. The maximum size for
n is 255 bytes (2000 in Oracle8). Note that a string of type char is always padded on right with blanks
to full length of n. (+ can be memory consuming).
Example: char(40)
varchar2(n): Variable-length character string. The maximum size for n is 2000 (4000 in
Oracle8). Only the bytes used for a string require storage. Example: varchar2(80)
number(o, d): Numeric data type for integers and reals. o = overall number of digits, d
= number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Maximum values: o =38, d= 84 to +127. Examples:
number(8), number(5,2) Note that, e.g., number(5,2) cannot contain anything larger than 999.99 without
resulting in an error. Data types derived from number are int[eger], dec[imal], smallintand real.
date: Date data type for storing date and time.The default format for a date is: DD-MMM-YY. Examples:
13-OCT-94, 07-JAN-98
long: Character data up to a length of 2GB. Only one long column is allowed per
table.Note: In Oracle-SQL there is no data type boolean. It can, however, be simulated by usingeither
char(1) or number(1).As long as no constraint restricts the possible values of an attribute, it may have
the specialvalue null (for unknown). This value is different from the number 0, and it is also different
from the empty string .

Properties of tables are:


the order in which tuples appear in a table is not relevant (unless a query requires an
explicit sorting).
a table has no duplicate tuples (depending on the query, however, duplicate tuples can appear in the query
result). A database schema is a set of relation schemas. The extension of a database schema at database
run-time is called a database instance or database, for short.
The table EMP is used to store information about employees:
EMPNO
7369
7499
7521

ENAME
SMITH
ALLEN
WARD

JOB
CLERK
SALESMAN
SALESMAN

MGR
7902
7698
7698

HIREDATE
17-DEC-80
20-FEB-81
22-FEB-81

SAL
800
1600
1250

DEPTNO
20
30
30

...........................................................
Queries
In order to retrieve the information stored in the database, the SQL query language is used. In SQL a query
has the following (simplified) form (components in brackets [ ] are optional):
select [distinct] <column(s)>
from <table>
[ where <condition> ]
[ order by <column(s) [asc|desc]> ]

Selecting Columns
The columns to be selected from a table are specified after the keyword select. This operation is also called
projection. For example, the query select LOC, DEPTNO from DEPT; lists only the number and the location
for each tuple from the relation DEPT. If all columns should be selected, the asterisk symbol * can be used
to denote all attributes. The query
Select * from EMP;

retrieves all tuples with all columns from the table EMP. Instead of an attribute name, the select
clause may also contain arithmetic expressions involving arithmetic operators etc.
select ENAME, DEPTNO, SAL - 100 from EMP;
74

For the different data types supported in Oracle, several operators and functions are provided:
for numbers: abs, cos, sin, exp, log, power, mod, sqrt, +,, _, /, . . .
for strings: chr, concat(string1, string2), lower, upper, replace(string, search string,
replacement string), translate, substr(string, m, n), length, to date, . . .
for the date data type: add month, month between, next day, to char, . . .
select DEPTNO from EMP;
For example, the query
select ENAME, DEPTNO, HIREDATE from EMP;
from EMP
order by DEPTNO [asc], HIREDATE desc;
displays the result in an ascending order by the attribute DEPTNO. If two tuples have the same attribute
value for DEPTNO, the sorting criteria is a descending order by the attribute values of HIREDATE. For the
above query, we would get the following output:
ENAME DEPTNO HIREDATE
FORD 10 03-DEC-81
SMITH 20 17-DEC-80
BLAKE 30 01-MAY-81
WARD 30 22-FEB-81
ALLEN 30 20-FEB-81
...........................
Selection of Tuples
If one is interested in tuples that satisfy certain conditions, the where clause is used. In a where clause
simple conditions based on comparison operators can be combined using the logical connectives and, or,
and not to form complex conditions. Conditions may also include pattern matching operations and even
subqueries
Example: List the job title and the salary of those employees whose manager has the
number 7698 or 7566 and who earn more than 1500:
select JOB, SAL
from EMP
where (MGR = 7698 or MGR = 7566) and SAL > 1500;
For all data types, the comparison operators =, != or <>,<, >,<=, => are allowed in the
conditions of a where clause.
Further comparison operators are:
Set Conditions: <column> [not] in (<list of values>)
Example: select _ from DEPT where DEPTNO in (20,30);
Null value: <column> is [not] null,
i.e., for a tuple to be selected there must (not) exist a defined value for this column.
Example: select _ from EMP where MGR is not null;
Note: the operations = null and ! = null are not defined!
Domain conditions: <column> [not] between <lower bound> and <upper bound>
Example: select EMPNO, ENAME, SAL from EMP
where SAL between 1500 and 2500;
select ENAME from EMP
where HIREDATE between 02-APR-81 and 08-SEP-81;

75

Some Solved Problems:


Write a query on the customers table whose output will exclude all customers with a recharge <=100, unless
they are resident of Jamnagar.
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE recharge >100 OR city =Jamnagar ;
Write a query that selects all students except those who have not paid the fees or NULLs in the fees field.
SELECT * FROM student WHERE fees < >0 OR (fees IS NOT NULL) ;
Write a query that lists customers in descending order of purchase amount. Output the purchase amount,
followed by the customers name and number.
SELECT pur_amt, c_name, c_num FROM customers ORDER BY pur_amt DESC ;
Write a command that puts the following values, in their given order, into the salesman table:
cust-name-Ambuja, city-Ahmedabad, comm - NULL, cust-num-1001.
INSERT INTO salesman (cust-name, city, comm, cust-num)
VALUES(Ambuja,Ahmedabad,NULL,1001) ;
What is the difference between Where and Having Clause ?
The HAVING clause places the condition on group but WHERE clause places the condition on
individual rows
String Operations
In order to compare an attribute with a string, it is required to surround the string by apostrophes, e.g., where
LOCATION = DALLAS. A powerful operator for pattern matching is the like operator. Together with this
operator, two special characters are used: the percent sign % (also called wild card), and the underline , also
called position marker. For example, if one is interested in all tuples of the table DEPT that contain two C in
the name of the department, the condition would be where DNAME like %C%C%. The percent sign means
that any (sub)string is allowed there, even the empty string. In contrast, the underline stands for exactly one
character. Further string operations are:
upper(<string>) takes a string and converts any letters in it to uppercase, e.g., DNAME
= upper(DNAME) (The name of a department must consist only of upper case letters.)
lower(<string>) converts any letter to lowercase,
initcap(<string>) converts the initial letter of every word in <string> to uppercase.
length(<string>) returns the length of the string.
substr(<string>, n [, m]) clips out a m character piece of <string>, starting at position n.
Aggregate Functions
Aggregate functions are statistical functions such as count, min, max etc. They are used to compute a single
value from a set of attribute values of a column: count Counting Rows
Example: How many tuples are stored in the relation EMP?
select count(*) from EMP;
Example: How many different job titles are stored in the relation EMP?
select count(distinct JOB) from EMP;
max
min

Maximum value for a column


Minimum value for a column

Example: List the minimum and maximum salary.


select min(SAL), max(SAL) from EMP;
Example: Compute the difference between the minimum and maximum salary.
select max(SAL) - min(SAL) from EMP;

76

sum Computes the sum of values (only applicable to the data type number)
Example: Sum of all salaries of employees working in the department 30.
select sum(SAL) from EMP where DEPTNO = 30;
avg

Computes average value for a column (only applicable to the data type number)

Note: avg, min and max ignore tuples that have a null value for the specified
attribute, but count considers null values.
Creating Tables
The SQL command for creating an empty table has the following form:
create table <table> (
<column 1> <data type> [not null] [unique] [<column constraint>],
.........
<column n> <data type> [not null] [unique] [<column constraint>],
[<table constraint(s)>]
);
For each column, a name and a data type must be specified and the column name must be unique within the
table definition. Column definitions are separated by comma. There is no difference between names in lower
case letters and names in upper case letters. In fact, the only place where upper and lower case letters
matter are strings comparisons. A not null Constraint is directly specified after the data type of the column
and the constraint requires defined attribute values for that column, different from null. The keyword unique
specifies that no two tuples can have the same attribute value for this column.
Example: The create table statement for our EMP table has the form
create table EMP (
EMPNO number(4) not null,
ENAME varchar2(30) not null,
JOB varchar2(10),
MGR number(4),
HIREDATE date,
SAL number(7,2),
DEPTNO number(2) );
Remark: Except for the columns EMPNO and ENAME null values are allowed.
Constraints
The definition of a table may include the specification of integrity constraints.
Basically two types of constraints are provided: column constraints are associated with a single
column whereas table constraints are typically associated with more than one column.
The specification of a (simple) constraint has the following form:
[constraint <name>] primary key | unique | not null. The most important type of integrity constraints in a
database are primary key constraints. A primary key constraint enables a unique identification of each tuple
in a table. Based on a primary key, the database system ensures that no duplicates appear in a table. For
example, for our EMP table, the specification
create table EMP (
EMPNO number(4) constraint pk emp primary key,. . . );
defines the attribute EMPNO as the primary key for the table. Each value for the attribute EMPNO thus must
appear only once in the table EMP. A table, of course, may only have one primary key. Note that in contrast
to a unique constraint, null values are not allowed.
Example:
We want to create a table called PROJECT to store information about projects. For each project, we want to
store the number and the name of the project, the employee number of the projects manager, the budget

77

and the number of persons working on the project, and the start date and end date of the project.
Furthermore, we have the following conditions:
- a project is identified by its project number,
- the name of a project must be unique,
- the manager and the budget must be defined.
Table definition:
create table PROJECT (
PNO number(3) constraint prj pk primary key,
PNAME varchar2(60) unique,
PMGR number(4) not null,
PERSONS number(5),
BUDGET number(8,2) not null,
PSTART date,
PEND date);
Data Modifications in SQL
After a table has been created using the create table command, tuples can be inserted into the table, or
tuples can be deleted or modified.
Insertions
The most simple way to insert a tuple into a table is to use the insert statement
insert into <table> [(<column i, . . . , column j>)]
values (<value i, . . . , value j>);
Examples:
insert into PROJECT(PNO, PNAME, PERSONS, BUDGET, PSTART)
values(313, DBS, 4, 150000.42, 10-OCT-94);
or
insert into PROJECT
values(313, DBS, 7411, null, 150000.42, 10-OCT-94, null);
If there are already some data in other tables, these data can be used for insertions into a new table. For
this, we write a query whose result is a set of tuples to be inserted. Such an insert statement has the form
insert into <table> [(<column i, . . . , column j>)] <query>
Example: Suppose we have defined the following table:
create table OLDEMP (
ENO number(4) not null,
HDATE date);
We now can use the table EMP to insert tuples into this new relation:
insert into OLDEMP (ENO, HDATE)
select EMPNO, HIREDATE from EMP
where HIREDATE < 31-DEC-60;
Updates
For modifying attribute values of (some) tuples in a table, we use the update statement:
update <table> set <column i> = <expression i>, . . . , <column j> = <expression j>
[where <condition>];
ypically, however, only a (small) portion of the table requires an update.
Examples:
The employee JONES is transfered to the department 20 as a manager and his salary is
increased by 1000:
update EMP set
JOB = MANAGER, DEPTNO = 20, SAL = SAL +1000
where ENAME = JONES;

78

All employees working in the departments 10 and 30 get a 15% salary increase.
update EMP set
SAL = SAL* 1.15 where DEPTNO in (10,30);
In such a case we have a <query> instead of an <expression>.
Example: All salesmen working in the department 20 get the same salary as the manager
who has the lowest salary among all managers.
update EMP set
SAL = (select min(SAL) from EMP
where JOB = MANAGER)
where JOB = SALESMAN and DEPTNO = 20;
Deletions
All or selected tuples can be deleted from a table using the delete command:
delete from <table> [where <condition>];
If the where clause is omitted, all tuples are deleted from the table. An alternative command for deleting all
tuples from a table is the truncate table <table> command. However, in this case, the deletions cannot be
undone.
Example:
Delete all projects (tuples) that have been finished before the actual date (system date):
delete from PROJECT where PEND < sysdate;
sysdate is a function in SQL that returns the system date.
Joining Relations
Comparisons in the where clause are used to combine rows from the tables listed in the fromclause.
Example: In the table EMP only the numbers of the departments are stored, not their
name. For each salesman, we now want to retrieve the name as well as the
number and the name of the department where he is working:
select ENAME, E.DEPTNO, DNAME
from EMP E, DEPT D
where E.DEPTNO = D.DEPTNO
and JOB = SALESMAN;
Explanation: E and D are table aliases for EMP and DEPT, respectively. The computation of the query result
occurs in the following manner (without optimization):
1. Each row from the table EMP is combined with each row from the table DEPT (this operation is called
Cartesian product). If EMP contains m rows and DEPT contains n rows, we thus get n * m rows.
2. From these rows those that have the same department number are selected (where
E.DEPTNO = D.DEPTNO).
3. From this result finally all rows are selected for which the condition JOB = SALESMAN
holds.
Grouping
aggregate functions can be used to compute a single valuefor a column. Often applications require grouping
rows that have certain properties and thenapplying an aggregate function on one column for each group
separately. For this, SQL provides
the clause group by <group column(s)>. This clause appears after the where clauseand must refer to
columns of tables listed in the from clause.
select <column(s)>
from <table(s)>
where <condition>
group by <group column(s)>
[having <group condition(s)>];

79

Those rows retrieved by the selected clause that have the same value(s) for <group column(s)>are grouped.
Aggregations specified in the select clause are then applied to each group separately.It is important that only
those columns that appear in the <group column(s)> clausecan be listed without an aggregate function in the
select clause !
Example: For each department, we want to retrieve the minimum and maximum salary.
select DEPTNO, min(SAL), max(SAL)
from EMP
group by DEPTNO;
Rows from the table EMP are grouped such that all rows in a group have the same department number. The
aggregate functions are then applied to each such group. We thus get the following query result:
DEPTNO MIN(SAL) MAX(SAL)
10
1300
5000
20
800
3000
30
950
2850
Example: Retrieve the minimum and maximum salary of clerks for each department having more than three
clerks.
select DEPTNO, min(SAL), max(SAL)
from EMP
where JOB = CLERK
group by DEPTNO
having count(*) > 3;
Note that it is even possible to specify a subquery in a having clause. In the above query, for example,
instead of the constant 3, a subquery can be specified.
A query containing a group by clause is processed in the following way:
1. Select all rows that satisfy the condition specified in the where clause.
2. From these rows form groups according to the group by clause.
3. Discard all groups that do not satisfy the condition in the having clause.
4. Apply aggregate functions to each group.
5. Retrieve values for the columns and aggregations listed in the select clause.

UNIT 4: BOOLEAN LOGIC


Key points
Binary Decision :

Every day we have to make logic decisions: Should I use calculator or not? Should I come or not?
Each of these require YES or NO, so decision which results into either YES (TRUE) or NO (FALSE)
is called BINARY DECISION.
Sentences, which can be determined to be true or false, are called logical statement and the result
TRUE or False are called Truth-values.

Truth table:
Truth table is a table, which represents all the possible values of logical variables/statements along
with all the possible results of given combinations of values.

Logical Operators :
Logical operators are derived from the Boolean algebra, which is the mathematical way of
representing the concepts without much bothering about what the concepts generally means.

(a) NOT OperatorOperates on single variable. It gives the complement value of variable.

Basic Logic Gates


A gate is simply an electronic circuit, which operates on one or more signals to produce an output signal.
Gates are digital circuits because the input and output signals are either low (0) or high (1). Gates also called
logic circuits.
There are three types of logic gates:
1. Inverter (NOT gate)
2. OR gate
3. AND gate
Inverter (NOT gate): Is a gate with only one input signal and one output signal, the output state is always the
opposite of the input state.

Basic postulates of Boolean Algebra:


Boolean algebra consists of fundamental laws that are based on theorem of Boolean algebra. These
fundamental laws are known as basic postulates of Boolean algebra. These postulates states basic relations
in boolean algebra, that follow:
I If X != 0 then x=1 and If X!=1 then x=0
II OR relations(logical addition)

Derivation of Boolean expression
Minterms and Maxterms
Consider two binary variables x and y combined with an AND operation.
xy, xy, xy, xy
Each of these four AND terms represents one of the distinct areas in the Venn diagram and is called
a minterm or standard product.
Consider two binary variables x and y combined with an OR operation.
x+ y, x+ y, x + y, x + y
Each of these four OR terms represents one of the distinct areas in the Venn diagram and is called
a maxterm or standard sum.
n Variables can be combined to form 2n minterms or maxterms.

f1 = xyz + xyz + xyz = m1 + m4 + m7


f2 = xyz + xyz + xyz + xyz = m3 + m5 + m6 + m7

The complement of a Boolean function may be read from the truth table by forming a minterm for
each combination that produces a 0 in the function and then ORing those terms.
f1 = xyz + xyz + xyz + xyz + xyz

Example: Express the Boolean function F(A,B,C) = AB + C as a sum of minterms.


Step 1 Each term must contain all variables
AB = AB(C + C) = ABC + ABC
C = C(A + A) = AC + AC
= AC(B + B) + AC(B + B)
= ABC + ABC + ABC + ABC
Step 2 OR all new terms, eliminating duplicates
F(A,B,C) = ABC + ABC + ABC + ABC + ABC
= m1 + m3 + m5 + m6 + m7
= (1, 3, 5, 6, 7)
Example: Express the Boolean function F(x,y,z) = xy + xz as a product of maxterms.
Step 1 Convert the function into OR terms using the distributive law
F(x,y,z) = (xy + x)(xy + z)
= (x + x)(y + x)(x + z)(y + z)
= (y + x)(x + z)(y + z)
Step 2 Each term must contain all variables
y + x = y + x + zz = (x + y + z)(x + y + z)
x + z = x + z + yy = (x + y + z)(x + y + z)
y + z = y + z + xx = (x + y + z)(x + y + z)
step 3 AND all new terms, eliminating duplicates
F(x,y,z) = (x + y + z)(x + y + z)(x + y + z)(x + y + z)

= (0, 1, 4, 6)

Conversion Between Canonical Forms


The complement of a function expressed as the sum of minterms equals the sum of minterms missing from
the original function. This is because the original function is expressed by those minterms that make the
function equal to 1, whereas its complement is a 1 for those minterms that the function is 0.
Example :
F (A,B,C) = (0, 2, 4, 6, 7)
F(A,B,C) = (1, 3, 5) = m1 + m3 + m5
Take the complement of F by DeMorgans theorem to obtain F in a different form:
F(A,B,C) = (m1 + m3 + m5) = (m1 m3 m5) = M1M3M5 = (1, 3, 5)
To convert from one canonical form to the other, interchange the symbols and , and list those
numbers missing from the original form.

Standard Forms

The two canonical forms of Boolean algebra are basic forms that one obtains from reading a function
from the truth table. By definition, each minterm or maxterm must contain all variables in either
complemented or uncomplemented form.
Another way to express Boolean functions is in standard form. In this configuration, the terms that
form the function may contain one, two, or any number of literals.
There are two types of standard forms: the sum of products and the product of sums.
The sum of products is a Boolean function containing AND terms, called product terms, of one or
more literals each. The sum denotes the ORing of these terms.
Example: f1 = y + xy + xyz
The product of sums is a Boolean expression containing OR terms, called sum terms. Each term
may have one or more literals. The product denotes the ANDing of these terms.
Example: f2 = x(y + z)(x + y + z + w)
A Boolean function may also be expressed in nonstandard form.
Example: f3 = (AB + CD)(AB + CD)

Minimization of Boolean expression


A minimization Boolean expression means less numbers of gates, which means simplified circuitry.
There are two methods.
1. Algebraic Method :
This method makes use of Boolean postulates, rules and theorems to simplify the expression.
Example..1. Simplify AB`CD` + AB`CD +ABCD` +ABCD
Solution-- AB`CD` + AB`CD +ABCD` +ABCD
=AB`C(D`+D) +ABC(D`+D)
=AB`C.1 + ABC.1
(D`+D=1)
=AC(B`+B)
=AC.1 =AC
Example..2.. Reduce.. X`Y`Z`+X`YZ`+XY`Z`+XYZ`
Solution
X`Y`Z`+X`YZ`+XY`Z`+XYZ
=X`(Y`Z`+YZ`) +X(Y`Z`+YZ`)
=X`(Z`(Y`+Y)) +X(Z`(Y`+Y))
=X`(Z`.1) +X(Z`.1)
(Y`+Y=1)
=X`Z`+XZ`
=Z`(X`+X)
=Z`.1
=Z`

87

2. Using Karnaugh Map :


A Karnaugh map is graphical display of the fundamental products in a truth table.
For example:
Put a 1 in the box for any minterm that appears in the SOP expansion.
Basic idea is to cover the largest adjacent blocks you can whose side length is some power of 2.
Blocks can wrap around the edges.
For example, the first K-map here represents
y variable)
The second K-map, similarly, shows
(It neutralizes the x variable)

xy + xy = x ( y + y ) = x . (It neutralizes the

xy + xy = ( x + x ) y = y .

Remember, group together adjacent cells of 1s, to form largest possible rectangles of sizes that are
powers of 2.
Notice that you can overlap the blocks if necessary.
Sum Of Products Reduction using K- Map

In SOP reduction each square represent a minterm.


Suppose the given function is f(A,B,C,D) = (0,2,7,8,10,15)
Enter the 1 in the corresponding position for each minterm of the given function.
Now the K-map will be as follows

88

For reducing the expression first mark Octet, Quad, Pair then single.
Pair: Two adjacent 1s makes a pair.
Quad: Four adjacent 1s makes a quad.
Octet: Eight adjacent 1s makes an Octet.
Pair removes one variable.
Quad removes two variables.
Octet removes three variables.

Reduction of Expression : When moving vertically or horizontally in pair or a quad or an octet it can be
observed that only one variable gets changed that can be eliminated directly in the expression.
For Example
In the above Ex
Step 1 : In K Map while moving from m7 to m15 the variable A is changing its state Hence it can be removed
directly, the solution becomes B.CD = BCD. This can be continued for all the pairs, Quads, and Octets.
Step 2 : In K map while moving from m0 to m8 and m2 to m10 the variable A is changing its state. Hence B
can be taken Similarly while moving from m0 to m2 and m8 to m10 the variable C is changing its state. Hence
D can be taken , the solution becomes B.D
The solution for above expression using K map is BCD + BD.

UNIT 5 : COMMUNICATION AND NETWORK CONCEPTS


Points to remember
Network
The collection of interconnected computers is called a computer network.
Two computers are said to be interconnected if they are capable of sharing and exchanging
information.

neededs

Resource Sharing
Reliability
Cost Factor
Communication Medium

Resource Sharing means to make all programs, data and peripherals available to anyone on the network
irrespective of the physical location of the resources and the user.

Reliability means to keep the copy of a file on two or more different machines, so if one of them is
unavailable (due to some hardware crash or any other) them its other copy can be used.
Cost factor means it greatly reduces the cost since the resources can be shared
Communication Medium means one can send messages and whatever the changes at one end are
done can be immediately noticed at another.

SWITCHING TECHNIQUES
Switching techniques are used for transmitting data across networks.
Different types are :
Circuit Switching
Message Switching
Packet Switching

Circuit Switching

Circuit switching is the transmission technology that has been used since the first communication
networks in the nineteenth century.
First the complete physical connection between two computers is established and then the data
are transmitted from the source computer to the destination.
When a call is placed the switching equipment within the system seeks out a physical copper path
all the way from the sender to the receiver.
It is must to setup an end-to-end connection between computers before any data can be sent.
The circuit is terminated when the connection is closed.
In circuit switching, resources remain allocated during the full length of a communication, after a
circuit is established and until the circuit is terminated and the allocated resources are freed.

Message Switching

In this the source computer sends data or the message to the switching circuit which stores the
data in its buffer.
Then using any free link to the switching circuit the data is send to the switching circuit.
Entire message is sent to the destination. It reaches through different intermediate nodes
following the store and forward approach.
No dedicated connection is required.

91

Packet Switching
Conceived in the 1960's, packet switching is a more recent technology than circuit switching.
Packet switching introduces the idea of cutting data i.e. at the source entire message is broken in
smaller pieces called packets which are transmitted over a network without any resource being
allocated.
Then each packet is transmitted and each packet may follow any rout available and at destination
packets may reach in random order.
If no data is available at the sender at some point during a communication, then no packet is
transmitted over the network and no resources are wasted.
At the destination when all packets are received they are merged to form the original message.
In packet switching all the packets of fixed size are stored in main memory.
DATA COMMUNICATION TERMINOLOGIES

The information / data carry from one end to another


in the network by channel.

Its used to measurement for the information carry of


a communication channel.
Measurement Units :bit
1 Byte= 8 bits
1 KBPS ( Kilo Byte Per Second)= 1024 Bytes ,
1 Kbps (kilobits Per Second) = 1024 bits,
1 Mbps ( Mega bits Per Second )=1024 Kbps

Data channel

Baud & bits per second


(bps)

Bandwidth

It is amount of information transmitted or receives


per unit time.
It is measuring in Kbps/Mbps etc unit.

Transmission Media
data is transmitted over copper wires, fiber optic cable, radio and microwaves. the term 'media' is
used to generically refer to the physical connectors, wires or devices used to plug things together.
Basic communications media types
copper
o unshielded twisted pair (utp)
o shielded twisted pair (stp)
o coaxial cable (thinnet, thicknet)
fiber optic
o single-mode
o multi-mode
infrared
radio & microwave

Twisted Pair Cable

These cables consist of two insulated copper wires twisted around each other in
a double helix.
Twisting of wires reduces crosstalk which is bleeding of a signal from one wire to
another.

92

Types:

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)


Shielded Twisted Pair (STP

STP offers greater protection from interference and crosstalk due to shielding.
But it is heavier and costlier than UTP.
USE:
1. In local telephone communication
2. For digital data transmission over short distances upto 1 km

Advantages:

Easy to install and maintain


Simple
Inexpensive
Low weight
Suitable for small (Local) Networks

Disadvantages:

Not suitable for long distance due to high attenuation.


Low bandwidth support.
Low Speed

Coaxial cable

Coaxial cable consists of a solid


copper wire core surrounded by
a plastic cladding shielded in a
wire mesh.
Shield prevents the noise by
redirecting it to ground.

Types:
Coaxial cable comes in two sizes which are called thinnet and thicknet.
Thicknet : segment length upto 500 m
Thinnet : segment length upto 185 m

USE:
In TV channel communication
Advantages:

Better than twisted wire cable.


Popular for TV networks.
Offers higher bandwidth &
Speed

Disadvantages:

Expensive than twisted wires.


Not compatible with twisted wire
cable.

Optical Fibres

Thin strands of glass or glass like material designed to carry light from one source to another.
Source converts (Modulates) the data signal into light using LED (Light Emitting Diodes) or
LASER diodes and send it over the Optical fiber.

93

It consists of three parts:


1. The core: glass or plastic through which the light travels.
2. The cladding : covers the core and reflects light back to the core
3. Protective coating : protects the fiber

Advantages

Not affected by any kind of noise.


High transmission capacity
Speed of Light
Suitable for broadband communication

Disadvantages

Installation requires care.


Connecting two Optical fibers is difficult.
Optical fibers are more difficult to solder
Most expensive

Microwaves
Microwaves are transmitted from the transmitters placed at very high towers to the receivers at a long
distance.

Microwaves are transmitted in line of sight fashion, and also propagated through the

surfaces.
Advantages
Maintenance easy than cables.
Suitable when cable can not be used.

Disadvantages
Repeaters are required for long distance communication.
Less Bandwidth available.
Satellite
Geostationary satellites are placed around 36000 KM away from the earths surface. In satellite
communication transmitting station transmits the signals to the satellite. (It is called up-linking). After
receiving the signals (microwaves) it amplifies them and transmit back to earth in whole visibility area.
Receiving stations at different places can receive these signals. (It is called down-linking).

94

Advantage
Area coverage is too large
Disadvantage
High investment

Network devices
Modem

A modem is a computer peripheral that allows you to connect and communicate with other
computers via telephone lines.
Modem means Modulation/ Demodulation.
Modulation: A modem changes the digital data from your computer into analog data, a format
that can be carried by telephone lines.
Demodulation: The modem receiving the call then changes the analog signal back into digital
data that the computer can digest.
The shift of digital data into analog data and back again, allows two computers to speak with
one another.
External Modem

Internal Modem

95

RJ- 45 Connector
RJ-45 is short for Registered Jack-45. It is an eight wire connector which is commonly used to connect
computers on the local area networks i.e., LAN.

Network Interface Cards (Ethernet Card)

A network card, network adapter or NIC (network interface card) is a piece of computer hardware
designed to allow computers to communicate over a computer network. It provides physical
access to a networking medium and often provides a low-level addressing system through the use
of MAC addresses. It allows users to connect to each other either by using cables or wirelessly.

Repeaters
A repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and
retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, or onto the other
side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer
distances without degradation. In most twisted pair Ethernet
configurations, repeaters are required for cable runs longer than
100 meters.

Hubs
A hub contains multiple ports. When a packet arrives at one port, it is
copied to all the ports of the hub. When the packets are copied, the
destination address in the frame does not change to a broadcast address.
It does this in a rudimentary way, it simply copies the data to all of the
Nodes connected to the hub.

BridgesA network
at the data link layer
promiscuously copy
MAC addresses are
bridge associates a
that address only to
ports except the one

bridge connects multiple network segments


(layer 2) of the OSI model. Bridges do not
traffic to all ports, as hubs do, but learn which
reachable through specific ports. Once the
port and an address, it will send traffic for
that port. Bridges do send broadcasts to all
on which the broadcast was received.

Bridges learn
the association of ports and
addresses by examining the source address of frames that it sees on various ports. Once a frame
arrives through a port, its source address is stored and the bridge assumes that MAC address is
associated with that port. The first time that a previously unknown destination address is seen, the
bridge will forward the frame to all ports other than the one on which the frame arrived.
Bridges come in three basic types:
Local bridges: Directly connect local area networks (LANs)
Wireless bridges: Can be used to join LANs or connect remote stations to LANs.

96

Switches
Switch is a device that performs switching. Specifically, it forwards and filters OSI layer 2 datagrams
(chunk of data communication) between ports (connected cables) based on the Mac-Addresses in the
packets. This is distinct from a hub in that it only forwards the datagrams to the ports involved in the
communications rather than all ports connected. Strictly speaking, a switch is not capable of routing traffic
based on IP address (layer 3) which is necessary for communicating between network segments or within
a large or complex LAN. Some switches are capable of routing based on IP addresses but are still called
switches as a marketing term. A switch normally has numerous ports with the intention that most or all of
the network be connected directly to a switch, or another switch that is in turn connected to a switch.

Routers

Routers are networking devices that forward data packets between networks using headers and
forwarding tables to determine the best path to forward the packets. Routers work at the network
layer of the TCP/IP model or layer 3 of the OSI model. Routers also provide interconnectivity
between like and unlike media (RFC 1812).
A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its
ISP's network.

GATEWAY
A Gateway is a network device that connects dissimilar networks.
It established an intelligent connection between a local area
network and external networks with completely different
structures.

Network topologies and types


Network topology

Computer networks may be classified according to the network topology upon which the network
is based, such as Bus network, Star network, Ring network, Mesh network, Star-bus network,
Tree or Hierarchical topology network, etc.
Network Topology signifies the way in which intelligent devices in the network see their logical
relations to one another. The use of the term "logical" here is significant. That is, network topology
is independent of the "physical" layout of the network. Even if networked computers are physically
placed in a linear arrangement, if they are connected via a hub, the network has a Star topology,
rather than a Bus Topology. In this regard the visual and operational characteristics of a network
are distinct; the logical network topology is not necessarily the same as the physical layout

Mesh Topology
97

The value of fully meshed networks is proportional to the exponent of the number of subscribers,
assuming that communicating groups of any two endpoints, up to and including all the end points.

Star Topology
The type of network topology in which each of the nodes of the network is connected to a central node
with a point-to-point link in a 'hub' and 'spoke' fashion, the central node being the 'hub' and the nodes that
are attached to the central node being the 'spokes' (e.g., a collection of point-topoint links from the peripheral nodes that converge at a central node) all data
that is transmitted between nodes in the network is transmitted to this central
node, which is usually some type of device that then retransmits the data to some
or all of the other nodes in the network, although the central node may also be a
simple common connection point (such as a 'punch-down' block) without any
Server
active device to repeat the signals.

Bus Topology

Server

The type of network topology in which all of the nodes of the


network are connected to a common transmission medium which
has exactly two endpoints (this is the 'bus', which is also
commonly referred to as the backbone, or trunk) all data that is
transmitted between nodes in the network is transmitted over this
common transmission medium and is able to be received by all
nodes in the network virtually simultaneously (disregarding
propagation delays).

Ring Topology

Server

The type of network topology in which each of the nodes of the network
is connected to two other nodes in the network and with the first and
last nodes being connected to each other, forming a ring all data that
is transmitted between nodes in the network travels from one node to
the next node in a circular manner and the data generally flows in a
single direction only.

Compter Networks

A communications network is two or more computers connected to share data and resources are
networked. The simple idea behind computer networking is to allow users to access more
information and give them access to devices not directly attached to their local system, such as
printers or storage devices

Local Area Network (LAN)


A network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, or building. Current LANs are most likely
to be based on Ethernet technology. For example, a library will have a wired or a communications
network is two or more computers connected to share data and resources are networked. The simple

98

idea behind computer networking is to allow users to access more information and give them access to
devices not directly attached to their local system, such as printers or storage devices

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

A Metropolitan Area Network is a network that connects two or more Local Area Networks or
Campus Area Networks together but does not extend beyond the boundaries of the immediate
town, city, or metropolitan area. Multiple routers, switches & hubs are connected to create a MAN.

Wide Area Network (WAN)

WAN is a data communications network that covers a relatively broad geographic area (i.e. one
city to another and one country to another country) and that often uses transmission facilities
provided by common carriers, such as telephone companies. WAN technologies generally
function at the lower three layers of the OSI reference model: the physical layer, the data link
layer, and the network layer.

Network protpcol
Protocols

A protocol means the rules that are applicable for a network.


It defines the standardized format for data packets, techniques for detecting and correcting errors
and so on.
A protocol is a formal description of message formats and the rules that two or more machines
must follow to exchange those messages.
E.g. using library books.

Types of protocols are:


1.
2.
3.
4.

HTTP
FTP
TCP/IP
SLIP/PPP

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a communications protocol for the transfer of


information on the intranet and the World Wide Web. Its original purpose was to provide a way
to publish and retrieve hypertext pages over the Internet.
HTTP is a request/response standard between a client and a server. A client is the end-user;
the server is the web site.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the simplest and most secure way to exchange files over

the Internet. The objectives of FTP are:


To promote sharing of files (computer programs and/or data).
To encourage indirect or implicit use of remote computers.
To shield a user from variations in file storage systems among different hosts.

99

To transfer data reliably, and efficiently.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol)

TCP - is responsible for verifying the correct delivery of data from client to server. Data can be lost in
the intermediate network. TCP adds support to detect errors or lost data and to trigger retransmission
until the data is correctly and completely received.
IP - is responsible for moving packet of data from node to node. IP forwards each packet based on a
four byte destination address (the IP number). The Internet authorities assign ranges of numbers to
different organizations. The organizations assign groups of their numbers to departments. IP operates
on gateway machines that move data from department to organization to region and then around the
world.
TCP and IP were developed by a Department of Defense (DOD) research project to connect a
number different networks designed by different vendors into a network of networks.
Several computers in a small department can use TCP/IP (along with other protocols) on a single
LAN. The IP component provides routing from the department to the enterprise network, then to
regional networks, and finally to the global Internet.

SLIP/PPP (Serial Line Internet Protocol / Point to Point Protocol)

SLIP/PPP provides the ability to transport TCP/IP traffic ever serial line between two computers. The
home users computer has a communications link to the internet. The home users computer has the
networking software that can speak TCP/IP with other computers on the Internet. The home users
computer has an identifying address (IP address) at which it can be contacted by other computers on
Internet. E.g. dial up connection.
TelnetIt is an older internet utility that lets us log on to remote computer system. It also facilitates for terminal
emulation purpose. Terminal emulation means using a pc like a mainframe computer through networking.
(i) Run telnet client- Type telnet in run dialog box.
(ii) Connect to telnet site -specify the host name, port and terminal type.
(iii) Start browsing- surf the shown site with provided instruction.
(iv) Finally disconnect-press Alt+F4.

Wireless/Mobile Computing
Wireless communication is simply data communication without the use of landlines. Mobile computing
means that the computing device is not continuously connected to the base or central network.

1. GSM(Global System for Mobile communication): it is leading digital cellular system. In


covered areas, cell phone users can buy one phone that will work any where the standard is
supported. It uses narrowband TDMA, which allows eight simultaneous calls on the same radio
frequency.

2. CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access): it is a digital cellular technology that uses spreadspectrum techniques. CDMA does not assign a specific frequency to each user. Instead ,every
channel uses the full available spectrum.

3. WLL(Wireless in Local Loop) : WLL is a system that connects subscribers to the public
switched telephone network using radio signals as a substitute for other connecting media.

100

4. Email(Electronic Mail): Email is sending and receiving messages by computer.


5. Chat: Online textual talk in real time , is called Chatting.
6. Video Conferencing: a two way videophone conversation among multiple participants is called
video conferencing.

NETWORK SECURITY CONCEPTS


Protection methods
1 Authorization - Authorization confirms the service requestor's credentials. It determines if the
service requestor is entitled to perform that operation.
2 Authentication - Each entity involved in using a web service the requestor, the provider and the
broker(if there is one) - is what it actually claims to be.
3 Encryption conversion of the form of data from one form to another form.
4 Biometric System - involves unique aspect of a person's body such as Finger-prints, retinal
patterns etc to establish his/her Identity.
5 Firewall
- A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network is
called firewall. it can be implemented in both hardware and software or combination or both.
There are several types of firewall techniques* Packet filteraccepts or rejects of packets based on user defined rules.
* Application gateway- security mechanism to specific application like FTP and Telnet servers.
* Circuit level gateway - applies security mechanism when a connection is established.
* Proxy Server Intercepts all messages entering and leaving the network.
Cookies - Cookies are messages that a web server transmits to a web browser so that the web server
can keep track of the users activity on a specific web site. Cookies have few parameters name, value,
expiration date
Hackers and crackers Hackers are more interested in gaining knowledge about computer systems and possibly using this
knowledge for playful pranks.
Crackers are the malicious programmers who break into secure systems.
Cyber Law It is a generic term, which refers to all the legal and regulatory aspects of internet and the World Wide
Web.
WEB SERVERS
WWW (WORLD WIDE WEB)
It is a small part of Internet. It is a kind of Application of internet.It is a set of protocols that allows us to
access any document on the Net through a naming system based on URLS. Internet was mainly used for
obtaining textual information. But post-WWW the internet popularity grew tremendously because of

101

graphic intensive nature of www.


Attributes of WWW
(i) User friendly- www resources can be easily used with the help of browser.
(ii) Multimedia documents-A web page may have graphic, audio, video, and animation etc at a time.
(iii) Hypertext and hyperlinks-the dynamic links which can move towards another web page is hyperlink.
(iv) Interactive -www with its pages support and enable interactivity between users and servers.
(v) frame-display of more than one section on single web page.
Web server- It is a WWW server that responds to the requests made by web browers.
e.g. : Apache, IIS, PWS(Personal web server for Windows 98).
Web browser- It is a WWW client that navigates through the World Wide Web and displays web pages.
E.g.: FireFox Navigator, Internet Explorer etc.
Web sites- A location on a net server where different web pages are linked together by dynamic links is
called a web site. Each web site has a unique address called URL.
Web page - A document that can be viewed in a web browser and residing on a web site is a web page.
Home page- a web page that is the starting page and acts as an indexed page is home page.
Web portal - that facilitates various type of the functionality as web site. for e.g.
www.yahoo.com,www.rediff.com
Domain name- An internet address which is a character based is called a Domain name. Some most
common domains are com, edu, gov, mil, net, org, and co.Some domain names are location based also.
For e.g. au for Australia, a for Canada, in for India etc.
URL- A URL (uniform resource locator) that specifies the distinct address for each resource on the
internet.e.g.http://encycle.msn.com/getinfo/stypes.asp
Web hosting - means hosting web server application on a computer system through which electronic
content on the internet is readily available to any web browser client.
HTML It stands for Hyper Text Markup Language that facilitates to write web document that can be interpreted
by any web browser. It provide certain tags that are interpreted by the browser how to display and act with
the text, graphics etc. tags are specified in <>.
For e.g.
<body bgcolor=green> it is opening tag
</body> it is closing tag.
body is the tag with bgcolor attributes.

XML is a markup language for documents containing structured information. Structured information
contains both content (words, pictures etc.) and some indication of what role content plays.
DHTML- It stands for Dynamic Hyper Text Markup Language. DHTML refers to Web content that
changes each time it is viewed. For example, the same URL could result in a different page depending on
any number of parameters, such as:
*geographic location
*time of the day

Important Board Questions

MARKS

1. Explain function of hub and router.


1
Ans:
1. Hub: A hub contains multiple ports. When a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to all the ports of
the hub. When the packets are copied, the destination address in the frame does not change to a
broadcast address. It does this in a rudimentary way, it simply copies the data to all of the Nodes
connected to the hub.
2. Router : routers are networking devices that forward data packets between networks using headers
and forwarding tables to determine the best path to forward the packets
2. Expand the following terms
(i) URL (ii) ISP (iii) DHTML (iv) CDMA:

Ans; (i) URL: Unified Resource Locator


(ii) ISP: Internet Service Provider.
(iii) DHTML: Dynamic Hyper Text Markup Language
3. Differentiate between message switching and packet switching

Ans: Message Switching In this form of switching no physical copper path is established in advance
between sender and receiver. Instead when the sender has a block of data to be sent, it is stored in first
switching office, then forwarded later. Packet Switching With message switching there is no limit on
block size, in contrast packet switching places a tight upper limit on block size.

large, so a repeater each would ideally be needed along their path to avoid loss of signals during the
course of data flow in these routes.
For layout 2, since the distance between Blocks A and C is large so a repeater would ideally be placed in
between this path.
(ii) In both the layouts, a hub/switch each would be needed in all the blocks, to
Interconnect the group of cables from the different computers in each block.
(e4) The most economic way to connect it with a reasonable high speed would be to use radio wave
transmission, as they are easy to install, can travel long distances, and penetrate buildings easily, so they
are widely used for communication, both indoors and outdoors. Radio waves also have the advantage of
being omni directional, which is they can travel in all the directions from the source, so that the transmitter
and receiver do not have to be carefully aligned physically.

1. Define a class Travel in C++ with the description given below:
Private Members:
T_Code of type string
No_of_Adults of type integer
No_of_Children of type integer
Distance of type integer
TotalFare of type float
Public Members:
A constructor to assign initial values as follows :
T_Code with the word NULL
No_of_Adults as 0
No_of_Children as 0
Distance as 0
TotalFare as 0
A function AssignFare( ) which calculates and assigns the value of the data member TotalFare as
follows :
For each Adult
Fare (Rs) For Distance (Km)
500 >=1000
300 <1000 & >=500
200 <500
For each Child the above Fare will be 50% of the Fare mentioned in the above table.
For example :
If Distance is 750, No_of_Adults = 3 and No_of_Children = 2
Then TotalFare should be calculated as
No_of_Adults * 300 + No_of_Children * 150
i.e. 3 * 300 + 2 * 150 = 1200
A function EnterTraveK ) to input the values of the data members T_Code, No_of_Adults,
No_of_Children and Distance; and invoke the AssignFare( ) function.

ANSWERS: 1 MARK Questions : PROGRAMMING IN C++


1. File.seekp( -sizeof(i), ios::cur );
2. Statement 1:
File.seekp(Record * sizeof(A)); //object name OR File.seekp(Record * sizeof(Applicant)); // class name
File.seekp(File.tellg() - sizeof(A)); OR File.seekp(File.tellg() - sizeof(Applicant));
OR File.seekp(-sizeof(A), ios::cur);
File.seekg(Record * sizeof(A));
OR File.seekg(Record * sizeof(Applicant)); OR File.seekg(-sizeof(A), ios::cur);
Statement 2:
File.write((char*)&A, sizeof(A)); OR File.write((char*)&A, sizeof(Applicant));
3. Same as previous question. In this question it is not defined explicitly that the function of statement1
and statement2 but here first we have to move file pointer at the appropriate place ( statement1) and the
write the record on that location(statement2)
4.Using seekp()
File.seekp(Record * sizeof(i)); //object name OR File.seekp(Record * sizeof(item)); // class name
OR File.seekp(File.tellg() - sizeof(i)); OR File.seekp(File.tellg() - sizeof(item));
OR File.seekp(-sizeof(i), ios::cur);
Using seekg()
OR File.seekg(Record * sizeof(i)); OR File.seekg(Record * sizeof(item));
OR File.seekg(-sizeof(i), ios::cur);
5. Same as previous question. Just change the class name or object name.
6. You have to complete the syntax of file opening. File.open( item.dat, ios::binary|ios::in|ios::out ) ;
7. while(!File.eof ( )) ;{
(File .read((char*) & i , sizeof (i));
:
:
8. File.seekg(RecNo*sizeof(Item)); //Statement 1
File.seekp(RecNo*sizeof(Item)); //Statement 2
9. File.seekg(0,ios::end); //Statement 1
File.tellg(); //Statement 2
10. Line1:
File.seekp(Position); OR File.seekp(-sizeof(L), ios::cur);
OR File.seekg(-sizeof(L), ios::cur); OR File.seekg(Position);
Line2:
File.write((char*)&L, sizeof(L)); OR File.write((char*)&L, sizeof(Library));

for (x=1; x<100 ; x+=2) //semicolon
if x%2= = 0 // double =
sum+=x;
cout<< sum= << sum; //<<
}
4. In this question first we have to write complete program after removing all the errors.
#include<iostream.h>
void main( )
{
int x[5], *y, z[5] ; // semi colon must be used here
for ( int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) // data type of i and closing ) should be there.
{
x[i] = i;
z[i] = i + 3;
*y = z; // wrong assignment ( integer to pointer)
x = *y; // wrong assignment ( Pointer to integer)
}

5. Corrected code:
#include <iostream.h>
void main()
{
int x, sum =0;
cin >> x ; // x in place of n
for (x=1; x<100 ; x+=2) //semicolon
if x%2= = 0 // double =due to assignment
sum+=x;
cout<< sum= << sum; //<<

if(Value%Multiple == 0)
{
cout<<Value * Multiple;
cout<<endl;
}
else
cout<<Value + Multiple <<endl;}
13. The program will not execute successfully. Because some syntax errors are there in the program.
They are
(i) cin and cout, stream objects used but iostream.h header file is not included in the program.
(ii) x is not declared, it should be declared as int.
(iii) With cin, we should use >> instead of <<.
(iv) The shorthand operator /=, is given wrongly as =/. So the corrected program is as follows:
#include<iostream.h>
void main( )
{ int s1,s2,num;
s1=s2=0;
for(int x=0;x<11;x++)
{
cin>>num;
if(num>0)s1+=num;else s2/=num;
}
cout<<s1<<s2; }
14. #include<iostream.h>

146

void main()
{
const int i=20;
int * ptr=&i;
(*ptr)++; //can not modify a const object
int j=15;
ptr =&j;
}
15. #include<iostream.h>
void main()
{
const int i =20;
const int * const ptr=&i; //can not modify a const object
(*ptr)++;
int j=15;
ptr =&j; //can not modify a const pointer
}
16. The error statements are
k=k*2; g=g/2; as pointer multiplication and division is not possible.

22. 97A
23. The meaning of line *cho+=a is:
*cho= *cho +32
= A+32
=97
=a ( ASCII value of character a)
cho contains the address of ch so ch =a;
Therefore output would be : 32a
24. 129a
ch =97 ( from *cho+=a)
*ptr+=ch
*ptr= *ptr+ch
= 32+ a (Character a)
=32+97
=129
Since *ptr or variable a both are same so variable a =129 and ch = a.

4. In function definition, 1 variable by reference, 1 normal variable and 1 pointer variable is used. In
calling for a pointer variable, always use & symbol. Calling : demo(3,2,Address of b);
::a and x are having same address ( due to by reference)
a =a+x
=3+3=6
y=y*a
= 2*6=12
*z = a + y
= 6+12 = 18
First output : 6(value of a), 6 ( value of x), 12, z will be any valid address 0xfff4
Second output: 6,2,18( value stored at the address pointed by z i.e. value of b)

Explanation:
here 3 pointer variables p, q and t.
p=x means p contains base address i.e. address of first element of array x. t = x+1 means t contains address
of second element i.e. address of second element i.e. address of 20.
q =&t means q contains address of t. cout << *p << \t << **q << \t << *t++;
In this expression Evaluation will start from right to left.
*t++ means first print the value stored at the address pointed by t i.e. Value of second element i.e. 20.
after that the address pointed by t will be incremented 1 int. ( 2 bytes). Now t will contain the
address of 30.Since q contains address of t so *q will give the address of t. therefore **q will give
30.

If *Name = a ProFIle then output would be: A OROoHLE

9. Since random(2) gives either 0 or 1, Fly value will be either 1 or 2. (random(n) gives you any number
between 0 to n-1)
City[1] is CHN
City[2] is KOL
Since I value from 0 to 2 (ie<3), 3 iterations will takes place. So the possible output consists 3 strings
separated by :, each of them may be either CHN or KOL. So the possible output will be
(ii) CHN : KOL : CHN:
(iv) KOL :CHN : KOL:

10X20X9
Due to B3=B1
All the values of B1 will be assigned to B3. Now B3 contains: Length=10, Breadth=20, Height=9 Due to
++B1. Len, Length will be 11. Due to B3. Bre++, Breadth will be 20 ( Post Increment) but in next
statement incremented value will be used. So second calling will take ( 11,21,9). Therefore output for
second calling:
11X21X9

Therefore final output will be:

Actually we have to find the Sum of the elements in each row and sum of the elements in each
column. Since in the above two dimensional array, three rows are there, so three sum will get and
each sum will store in the array RS in the places RS[0], RS[1] and RS[2] respectively. Since
column also contains three, three column sum will get and each will store in the array CS in the
position CS[0], CS[1] and CS[2] respectively.
void FindRowColSum(int x[n][n],int R,int C)
{
int temp,CSum=0,RSum=0;

/* Whenever we process a 2D array, we need two for loop. Outer for loop for
processing row and inner for loop for processing the column */.

Reversing means swap first element and last element, second first element and second last
element and so on.
void ReverseArray(int x[], int N)
{
int i,j,temp;
/* i for taking the elements from the beginning onwards, so initialize it with 0
and increment its value(i++). j for taking the elements from the end, so initialize
it with N-1 and decrement its value each time (j--) */
for(i=0,j=N-1;i<N/2;i++,j--)
{

x[i]=x[j];
x[j]=temp;
}
cout<<"After reversing the Array elements are"<<endl;
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
{
cout<<x[i]<<" ";
}
}
5. In this problem you have to take care of two situation.
1. Even number of elements in the array
6 7 8 13 9 19
2. Odd number of elements in the array

165

6 7 8 13 9 19 25
void ChangeOrder(int x[], int N)
{
int i,j,temp,limit;
if(N%2!=2)
{
limit=N-1;
}
else
{
limit=N;
}
for(i=0;i<limit;i+=2)
{
temp=x[i];
x[i]=x[i+1];
x[i+1]=temp;
}
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
{
cout<<x[i];
}
}
6. void ChangeValue(int x[],int N)
{
for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
{
if(x[i]%2!=0) // Checking the element is Odd or not
{
x[i]=x[i]*3;
}
else
{
x[i]=x[i]*2;
}
}
cout<<endl;
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
{
cout<<x[i]<<" ";
}
}
Note: If the Question is to make element in the odd position to thrice its value and element in the even
position to twice its value, then you have to make only one change in the above program to get the
answer ie If( (i+1)%2!=0) instead of if(x[i]%2 !=0)
7. You know bubble sort, in which we are using simple array. Here you are asked to sort structure array
base on the element points.If in the normal array say x[10] , you are using x[i], here in the structure
array say gm[10], you have to use gm[i].points because you are sorting based
on the variable points in the structure Game
void SORTPOINTS()
{
Game gm[10];
Game temp;
Cout<<Enter the details of 10 games<<endl;
For(int i=0;i<10;i++)
{

166

Cin>>gm[i].PNo;
Gets(gm[i].PName);
Cin>>gm[i].points;
}
// Use the logic for bubble sort. Points to note in bubble sort
1. Compare with the adjacent elements ie j and j+1
2. Bigger element goes to the top because the elements in the descending order.
3. Each iteration the smaller elements comes in the bottom.*/
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<(n-1)-i;j++) // j< (N-1)-i , subtracting i to avoid the
// last elements which are in the correct order after each loop execution.
{
If(gm[j] .points <gm[j+].points)
{
temp=gm[j];
gm[j]=gm[j+1];
gm[j+1]=temp;
}
}
}
8.
1.Take each element of the array from the beginning. say x[n]
2. Check x[n] is -ve or not. If it is negative number do the following steps
2. Check elements from the left side of x[n] and shift the left side element to
next right position if it is +ve number..
3. Repeat step 2 till you gets a negative number or till reach the left end of the
array.
4. Insert x[n].
void arrangeNegPosNumbers(int x[], int N)
{
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
temp=x[i]; // Taking each element in the array to
//check +ve or -ve
if(x[i]<0) // Checking it is -ve
{
j=i-1;
while(j>=0)
{
if(x[j]<0)
{
break;
}
else
{
x[j+1]=x[j]; // Shift +ve number
// to right
j--;
}
}
x[j+1]=temp; // Inserting the ve number
}
}
}

{
for(i=0;i<R;i++) // for each row
{
Int temp;
for(int j=0,k=C-1;j<C/2;j++,k--)
/* j for taking the elements from the first columns and k for taking the
elements from the last columns. So the initially j=0 and k=C-1 and j will
increase (j++) and k will decrease (k--) * in each step/
{
temp=x[i][j]; //Swap elements in the first and last
// columns
x[i][j]=x[i][k];
x[i][k]=temp;
}
}
for(i=0;i<R;i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<C;j++)
{
cout<<x[i][j]<<" ";
}
cout<<endl;
}
}
10. Only small changes have to make compare to the previous question , which are
underlined and blackened.
void SWAPROW(int x[n][n], int R,intC)
{
int temp;
for(i=0;i<C;i++)
{
for(int j=0,k=R-1;j<R/2;j++,k--)

13. In first diagonal elements both row index and column index is same.
In second diagonal element row index is increasing and column index is
decreasing.
void findDiagonalSum(int x[n][n],int R,int C)
{
// Find the sum of the First diagonal numbers
for(i=0;i<R;i++)
{
Sum1=Sum1+x[i][i]; // Row and Column are represented
// by i itself
}
// Find the sum of the Second diagonal elements

for(i=0;i<R;i++)
{
Sum2= Sum2+x[i][j];
j--;
}
cout<<endl;
cout<<Sum1<<endl;
cout<<Sum2;
}
14. The row number and Column number is odd numbers and both are same The index of the middle row
/ column element is Row/2 or Column/2
void FindMiddle(int x[n][n], int size) // size represent No of rows and columns, since both are same.
{
// Find the element in the middle row
int j=size/2;
// Middle Row
for(i=0;i<size;i++)
{
cout<<x[j][i]<< ;
}
// Middle Column
for(i=0;i<size;i++)
{

169

cout<<x[i][j]<< ;
}
}
Note If the question is to find the sum of the middle row and sum of the middle
column, then the program should write as given below
void FindMiddleSum(int x[n][n], int size)
{
int Sum1=0,Sum2=0;
int j=size/2;
for(i=0;i<size;i++)
{
Sum1=Sum1+x[j][i];
Sum2=Sum2+x[i][j];
}
cout<<endl;
cout<<Sum1<<" "<<Sum2;
}
15. We are provided with 1D array and to make 2D array with the values provided in the ID array. By
analyzing the 2D array(output) we will get the logic that for the position (i+j)< size of the 2D array,
elements are taken from the ID array and all other position value is zero. So the program is as below
void Change2Darray(int x[],int size)
for(i=0;i<size;i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<size;j++)
{
if(i+j <size)
{
y[i][j]=x[j];
}
else
{

}
}
}
for(i=0;i<size;i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<size;j++)
{
cout<<y[i][j]<<" ";
}
cout<<endl;
}
}
16. Condition for putting the value is the position (i<=j) of 2D array otherwise
put zero
void Change2Darray(int x[],int size)
{
for(i=0;i<size;i++)
{
int k=0;
for(int j=0;j< size;j++)
{

vi. _ price>20 ^ price <45(SALES)
Ans: To select/show those rows from the table SALES where city is Chennai.
Q3. Define the terms:
ix. Database Abstraction
Ans: Database system provides the users only that much information that is required
by them, and hides certain details like, how the data is stored and maintained in
database at hardware level. This concept/process is Database abstraction.
x. Data inconsistency
Ans: When two or more entries about the same data do not agree i.e. when one of
them stores the updated information and the other does not, it results in data
inconsistency in the database.
xi. Conceptual level of database implementation/abstraction
Ans: It describes what data are actually stored in the database. It also describes the
relationships existing among data. At this level the database is described logically in
terms of simple data-structures.
xii. Primary Key
Ans : It is a key/attribute or a set of attributes that can uniquely identify tuples within the relation.
xiii. Candidate Key
Ans : All attributes combinations inside a relation that can serve as primary key are candidate key
as they are candidates for being as a primary key or a part of it.
xiv. Relational Algebra
Ans : It is the collections of rules and operations on relations(tables). The various operations are
selection, projection, Cartesian product, union, set difference and intersection, and joining of
relations.
xv. Domain
Ans : it is the pool or collection of data from which the actual values appearing in a given column
are drawn.
xvi. Projection
Ans : It is the operation yielding a vertical subset of a given relation , i.e. data under specified
columns , in contrast to the horizontal subset(rows) returned by a select operation.

Answers: 4 Marks Communication and Network Concepts


1. (i)(a) Production Unit and Media Unit :MAN
(b)Production Unit and Finance Unit:LAN
(ii) Switch/Hub
(iii) Optical fiber
(iv) Optical Fiber/Star Topology Wireless/Satellite Link/Leased Line
2. (i) Star or Bus or any other valid topology.
(ii) Wing S, because maximum number of computers are located at Wing S.
(iii) Hub/ Switch in all the wings.
(iv) Coaxial cable/Modem/LAN/TCP-IP/Dialup/DSL/Leased Lines or any other valid technology.
3. (a) Total cable length required for this layout = 75 mts
(b) To give dedicated bandwidth, the computers in each building should be connected via switches as
switches offer dedicated bandwidths.
(c) By installing routers in each building, shared internet access can be made possible
(d) (i) Satellite as it can connect offices across globe.
(ii) WAN ( Wide Area Network )
4 (e1) (Any of the following option)
Layout Option 1

Layout Option 2

(e2) The most suitable place / block to house the server of this organisation would be Block C, as this
block contains the maximum number of computers, thus decreasing the cabling cost for most of the
computers as well as increasing the efficiency of the maximum computers in the network.
(e3) (i) For Layout 1, since the cabling distance between Blocks A and C, and that between B and C are
quite large, so a repeater each, would ideally be needed along their path to avoid loss of signals during
the course of data flow in these routes. For layout 2, since the distance between Blocks A and C is large
so a repeater would ideally be placed in between this path
(ii) In both the layouts, a hub/switch each would be needed in all the blocks, to
interconnect the group of cables from the different computers in each block.
(e4) The most economic way to connect it with a reasonable high speed would be to use radio wave
transmission, as they are easy to install, can travel long distances, and penetrate buildings easily, so they
are widely used for communication, both indoors and outdoors. Radio waves also have the advantage of
being omni directional, which is they can travel in all the directions from the source, so that the transmitter
and receiver do not have to be carefully aligned physically.
5. (e1) Any one layout
Layout option1

189

Layout option 2

(e2) The most suitable place / block to house the server of this organisation would be Raj Building, as this
block contains the maximum number of computers, thus decreasing the cabling cost for most of the
computers as well as increasing the efficiency of the maximum computers in the network.
(e3)(i) Raj Building
(ii) In both the layouts, a hub/switch each would be needed in all the buildings,
to interconnect the group of cables from the different computers in each block
e4) MAN, because MAN (Metropolitan Area Networks) are the networks that
link computer facilities within a city

Define member function QInsert( ) to insert and QDel( ) to delete nodes of a linked list implemented
class Queue having the following Definitions:
Struct Node
{ char name[20];
int age;
Node *Link;
};
class Queue
{ Node *Rear, *Front;
public:
Queue( ) { Rear=NULL; Front = NULL}
void QInsert( );
void QDel( );
};
Write a function in C++ to delete a node containing names of student, from a dynamically allocated
stack of names implemented with the help of following structure :
struct student
{
char name[20];
student *next;
};
Write a user defined function in C++ to insert an element from a dynamically allocated Queue
where each node contains the long integer (schoolno) as data.
Assume the following
definition of SCHOOL for the same.
struct SCHOOL
{
long scno;
SCHOOL * link;
};
Given the following class:
char *msg[]={OVER FLOW,UNDER FLOW};
class stack
{
int top;
stk[5];
void err_rep(int e_num)
{cout<<msg[e_num];}
// report error message
public:
void init() {top=0;}
void push(int);
// put the new value in to stk
void pop();
// get the top valued from stk
};
Define pop outside the stack. In your definition take care of underflow condition. Function pop has
to invoke err_rep to report over flow.
Write a function to insert and delete a set of integer values in a circular queue and display them.
Consider the following portion of a program, which is implemented a linked list of library. Write the
definition of function PUSH( ), to insert a new node in the stack with required information:
struct Library
{
int id; char name[20];
};

Library *Link;

Open Sources proponents often claim that it offers significant benefits when compared to typical Proprietary Software. Proprietary Software typically favour visible
features (giving marketing advantage) over harder-to measure qualities such as stability, security and similar less glamorous attributes.
