Many of a computer's internal components, such as the random access memory (RAM) and central processing unit (CPU), are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). You have probably experienced ESDs yourself, if you have ever shuffled your feet across a carpeted floor and then touched a metal doorknob. You experienced a small shock, as the excess electrons you stripped from the carpet are transferred to the door knob. If the relative humidity in the room is low, the buildup of charge on the surface of your body, which acts like an insulator, can be significant-more than enough to damage a computer's components. To prevent ESDs, people assembling computers will wear antistatic equipment, such as that shown in the photo. The wrist strap is said to be grounded, which gives the static charge a safe conducting path away from the body, thereby protecting the computer components. In walking across a carpeted hallway, a computer technician acquires a charge of -4.79 × 10-9 C. Assume he touches one of the contact pins of a RAM module without wearing his antistatic equipment and completely delivers his excess charge through the component. How many electrons enter the RAM module during the discharge?

Q1) You wanted to open a library, so you have bought N books and K racks (having N/K slots). All these books are currently just lying on the floor. Fortunately, you have the titles, ISBNS, and barcodes of the books on the bills you have received. You want to now arrange these books on the racks based on the book titles, just like words in the pages of a dictionary. However, sometimes, the titles of the books may match; you plan to use their ISBN for sorting in such cases. If ISBNS also match, you think of using their barcodes. Write a program to create the required data from the bills you have, sort the data as you have planned, and identify the appropriate slot for any book you pick from the floor for placing it as per the plan.

1. TRUE OR FALSE. a) Unicode is a 8-bit code, occupying twice the disk space for text as EBCDIC would require. b) Hamming codes, used for error detection and correction, are useful for burst errors (where we could reasonably expect multiple adjacent bits to be incorrect). c) CRCs are useful for error correction. d) A byte is 8 bits, but a word may vary in size (16-bits, 32-bits, etc.) from one architecture to another. e) The largest value that a 60-bit signed binary integer can represent is (260 -1). f) An Excess-M integer representation includes more negative numbers than it does positive ones.

5:15 +(65 e Challenge task The V Epidemic is spreading fast around the world. Suppose that there are N cities, numbered from 0 to (N-1), arranged in a circular manner. City 0 is connected to city 1, to 2, ., city (N-2) to city (N-1), and city (N-1) to city 0. If you know that the V virus is currently at city X. Each day, it jumps from its current city to the city within a distance K to its right, i.e., from city X to the city (X+K)%N. As the V virus jumps, the cities in- between don't get infected. Cities once infected stay infected. You live in city Y. Find if it will reach your city eventually. If it will, print YES, else print NO.
