Hi I am preparing my exam for computer system. I don't quite understand how to calculate the number of address bits needed for the memory. For example, Suppose that a 1G x 32-bit main memory is built using 256M x 4-bit RAM chips and this memory is word-addressable. What is the number of address bits needed for a memory module? What...
Just curious. For those of you who had extensive experience programming before school (or who got really, really good at programming during school); did your CS classes become very easy? Almost like trivial side work? ...
Hi. I've sort of just finished a mandatory task at school, and I'm about to deliver it. But then I came across something that was unfamiliar, header files. :( What I've got: test-program.c task_header.h function1.s function2.s function3.s function4.s test-program.c: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #incl...
on Linux ext3 filesystem, what happens if mv() is called on the same file (file descriptor) while reading the file? It is actually an exam question and I can only say something like: CPU traps OS for interrupt handling etc, etc. I would appreciate if OS guys out there can help me out, please :D ...
I have taken enough cs courses to know that I'm not interested in hardware. I'm much more interested in programing for the web. Now, I'm nearing the end of my degree, and I'm presented with the option to take some higher level EE courses than the intro I took freshman year. Are there any real-world-job-boosting reasons I should take m...
Ok so last year I participated in a high school curriculum contest thing at a college(I currently attend this college). I actually got 1st in it but was still a bit angry I didn't get every single one right. The most baffling of questions on there was How many lines of code does the average programmer write per day? A. 5 B. 10 C. 2...
(For background purposes and context): I am a Software Engineer, and manage other Software Engineers currently. I kind of wear two hats right now: one of a programmer, and one as a 'team lead'. In this regard, I've started going back to school to get my Master's degree with an emphasis in Computer Science. I already have a Bachelor's ...

I'm currently a network engineer, but find myself wanting to get into the world of development. I took a little bit of Java in college, am 27 years old and have been network engineering for 4 years now. I have a mortgage and student loans so going back to school would be difficult. I'm willing to put in however much hardwork is needed ar...
Let me start by stating that I am currently working as a junior to mid-level software developer. I did have a huge helping hand in getting this position as I had an internal reference with obviously good enough influence. Naturally, I'm not the best programmer in the world. Given enough time and Google, I can figure out most problems and...

I am taking classes on software development from University of Phoenix. They keep raising my rates. Anybody know a better/cheaper online-only programming degree I could get that would be more relevant to real life industry use? We are focusing on waterfall SDLC and their is soo much info on installation, training, and implementation. F...
I'm taking several classes this fall for my masters and one of them is Compiler Design and Construction. I am pretty well versed in most things related to computer technology, but I have not had much experience with how compilers do the dirty, I just use them when I need to. I am not usually nervous about classes, but I kind of feel li...

Like a very very simple version of google maps, people need to be able to look up a room and be able to get directions from one part of the floor to another. I have never done any ...
I was required to write a program that generate random results of 10 sport games where 10 countries are involved, and display the medal tally based on the results. I was able to generate the games' result but have no idea how to sum up the results (i.e. the number of different medals earned by each country). Below is part of my code to...
A few friends and I are doing a self-study on Computer Science/Programming and taking the Computer Science AP A exam. Although I have experience in programming in a few languages, it's still difficult for me to explain some concepts such as OOP and memory management. Are there are interesting diagrams or infographics that could explain ...
