Computing & Informatics - short answer questions from AMIE exams

In C++ syntax, define a class named employee. It should contain the name of the employee (a string of 25 characters) and employee identification (integer).
class Employee
{ 
private:
char name
int idnumber
public:
void set name (char name);
void set idnum (int ID);
};

In which situation serial search is better than binary search? Give an example situation.
Serial search is better than binary search when input data is not sorted.

At present what is the physical medium used in a wired Ethernet LAN?
Ethernet operates 10 Mbps or 100Mbps (and now even at 1 Gbps). It uses either twisted-pair copper wire are coaxial cable to connect a number of end systems with each other and with an edge router.

Show the symbol and boolean expression for logic gate EX-NOR.


What is an ADT? Is a C++ class an ADT?
Abstract Data type (ADT) is a type (or class) for objects whose behaviour is defined by a set of values and a set of operations. Data abstraction refers to, providing only essential information to the outside world and hiding their background details, i.e., to represent the needed information in the program without presenting the details. Let's take one real-life example of a TV, which you can turn on and off, change the channel, adjust the volume, and add external components such as speakers, VCRs, and DVD players, BUT you do not know its internal details, that is, you do not know how it receives signals over the air or through a cable, how it translates them, and finally displays them on the screen. C++ classes provide a great level of data abstraction. They provide sufficient public methods to the outside world to play with the functionality of the object and to manipulate object data.

Give two examples of computer languages that are interpreted instead of compiled.
JAVA, LISP

TCP and IP operate at which layers of ISO/OSI protocol suite?
  • TCP: Transport layer
  • IP: Network layer
How is a syntax error different from a semantic error? Explain with an example.
  • Syntax errors. These are invalid codes the compiler doesn't understand, e.g. your example of multiplying a string with an integer in C. The compiler will detect them because it can't compile them.
  • Semantic errors. These are valid codes the compiler understands, but they do not what you, the programmer, intended. These may be using the wrong variable, the wrong operation, or operations in the wrong order. There is no way for the compiler to detect them.
Draw a logic circuit using NAND gates which can store 1 bit of information.

Meaning of AeSI withdrawing case from Delhi High Court and its implications for IEI

Image
There is breaking news - AeSI withdraws case from Delhi High Court on 27-05-2022. Does it mean that Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI)  is no more interested in conducting Section A and B exams and will only give membership? At first glance, it looks so. Fortunately, this conclusion is not true. To understand this let us go back to the past, just nine months back.  But first, let us understand what the problem is. The MHRD - AICTE in 2013 (and beyond), derecognised the equivalence criteria between engineering professional bodies (IEI, AeSI, IETE, IME, ICE and more such professional bodies) - Section A and Section B passed candidates, with that of B. Tech degree from an Indian University. In 2018, fresh admission was on hold as per the order given by Delhi High Court. Now, back to our story, AeSI came up with a better plan -  AeSI signed an MoU with Hindustan Institute of Technology & Science, Chennai (HITS)  in 2021. According to this MoU, students of Aeronautical Society who

AMIE aspirants are at crossroads—whether to continue/discontinue AMIE in the present scenario?

Image
  A lot of AMIE aspirants are at cross roads—whether to continue/discontinue AMIE in present scenario when fresh AMIE admissions and re-registration are suspended till further orders. The case is being fought in Delhi High Court and nobody knows the outcome. The social media is full of rumours which are void of substance. Under such a backdrop, a million-pound question is—should an AMIE aspirant, who is eligible to continue his AMIE, should stop or appear in whatever semesters left. Remember, stopping doing AMIE now may lead to loss of money and your hard core efforts. AMIE is still the cheapest option with so many advantages . You might have to spend many times more money joining AMIE in new protocol and with number of subjects almost double and practicals as many as 40! In our opinion, they must continue with it and try to finish their AMIE at the earliest. There is no harm in doing so as it is the lowest cost option for working aspirants. It would work as a fixed deposit—will benef
