Languages in computer


                 LANGUAGES

* Low level language:-
          Low level language is machine dependent language. This language is the machine codes in which the instructions are given in machine language in the form of 0 and 1 to a computer system.the main function of low level language is to operate , manage and manipulate the hardware and system components.
   Low level language is divided into two parts:-
            i> Machine language
            ii> Assembly language


 i>  Machine language:-
            It is one of the low level language which is the first generation language developed for communication with a computer. It is written in machine code which represents 0 and 1 binary digits inside the computer string which makes it easy to understand and perform the operations.
       The main advantage of using machine language is that there is no need of translator or interpreter to translate the code, as the computer directly can understand.
  but there are some disadvantages also like you have to remember the operational codes, memory address every time you write a program and also hard to find errors in a written program. It is a machine dependent and can be used by a single type of computer.

As we know a computer system can recognize electric signals so here 0 stands for turning off electric pulse and 1 stands for turning on electronic pulse.


ii> Assembly language:-
           It is the second generation programming language that has almost similar structure and set of commands as machine language. In this language instead of using numbers  here we use words or names in English forms and also symbols.
     The programs written in assembly language are converted to machine language using as Assembler. Because computer only understands machine code languages.
The main disadvantage of this language is that it is written only for a single type of CPU and does not run on any other CPU. But its speed makes it the most used low level language till today.


* High level language:-
         High level languages are instructions written in English  like language . High level languages deal with variables, arrays, and complex arithmetics or boolean expression instead of codes.
 These languages brought computers to the step of the common man. These languages are easier to use. A program written in a high level  language can be executed on other computers without making any changes to the codes because this language is not machine dependent.
  High level languages require a translator may be an interpreter and compilor that help to understand. High level languages are third generation language.


* Assemblers:-
      An assembler is a software program that converts an assembly language into machine language program. It takes the basic commands and operations from assembly code and converts them into binary code.


* Compiler:-
        Compiler is a software program or set of programs that converts an entire program written in a high level language into machine language program. A compiler goes through the entire program and check syntax. If it finds any errors, the error is reported to the user along with line numbers. Otherwise if the program is error  free, then the complete program will be translated to machine language and stored in a separate file.


* Interpreters:-
        An interpreter is a software program that converts a program written in a high level language into machine language program line-by-line. The each line is converted and executed immediately if it is error free. Only after execution of one line, will it proceed to the next. If interpreting is stopped.It is slower than the compiler.


* Decompiler:-
      A program that translates from a low level language to a higher level is called decompiler.

Process Scheduling And Types of Process Schedular :-

        ⇰ PROCESS SCHEDULING Process Scheduling  is a task  of Operating System that schedules processes of different states like new, ready, waiting, terminated  and running.This scheduling helps in allocation of CPU time for each process, and Operating System allocates the CPU time for each procss. And the process scheduling plays important role to keep the CPU busy all the time.  ⏩   Followings are some objectives of Process Scheduling :-  i > To increase the amount of users within acceptable response times.  ii > To maintain the balance between response and utilization of system. iii > To decrease the enforce priorities and  give reference to the processes holding the key resources.      ⇰  PROCESS SCHEDULAR A scheduler carries out the pro cess scheduling work. Schedulers are often implemented so they keep all computer resources busy and  allows multiple users to share system resources  to achieve  multiprogramming .  There are  mainy three types of pro

Tokens and its types in 'C'

   Tokens are the smallest individual unit of a program or in simple words it is a main part of C program.Tokens are the building blocks of any program. The smallest individual and basic unit of a C programming is called c tokens.      *    Normally there are six types of tokens in C:- i> Keywords:-          Keywords are special words that are used to give a special meaning to the program and can't be used as variable and constant.They are basically a sequence of characters that have fixed to mean. For example:-                 auto     double      long     break                 float    short        char     if                while    continue   int       void etc. All keywords must be written in lower case.It is 32 in number. ii> Identifiers:-         The identifiers are basically a token. It can be a variable's name or a label's name. So identifiers are actually a user defined data. But there are certain rules to frame an identifier. They are as follo

Micromax 'The Indian Smart Phone Company'

Micromax  is an Indian  consumer electronics  company headquartered in  Gurgaon ,  Haryana . It was established as an  IT   Software  company operating in the  Embedded Devices   Domain . It later entered the  Mobile   Handset  business. Micromax was incorporated as Micromax Informatics Ltd. on 29 March 2000 by Zeeshan Ali Zaidi. It began selling mobile telephones in 2008,  focusing on  low pricing to compete with international brands. By 2010, Micromax was one of the largest domestic companies making handsets in the low-cost feature phone segment in India. As of Q3 2014, Micromax is the  Tenth Largest   Smart phone  vendor in the world. The company is facing stiff competition from Chinese companies that are penetrating the Indian market. The company also owns  YU Televentures , which sells its products under the brand name YU. The company has also introduced handsets with innovative features. For instance, Micromax's co-founder  Rahul Sharma  once saw a  public call
