Computing & Informatics - true/false type questions from AMIE exams

True/false type questions.
  1. Pentium is a 32-bit machine because it has got a 32-bit Address Bus.
  2. Unix is a multiuser operating system. 
  3. C is a procedural programming language.
  4. A C++ compiler actually translates a C++ source code into the equivalent machine code of the target CPU.
  5. The operating system acts as a resource manager for any computer system.
  6. When one needs to connect all the computers in one building, then it is preferable to use a LAN.
  7. TCP/IP is actually two protocols rolled into one.
  8. If is a valid C++ identifier.
  9. A-23 is a valid C++ constant.
  10. Flash memory is a writable non-volatile memory.
Answers
  1. False. Pentium is a 32-bit machine that indicates the number of data lines and internal register size is 32 bits. It can do operations (addition, subtraction etc.) on 32-bit operands.
  2. True. Through the multiprogramming feature, multiple users can work on a Unix machine at the same time.
  3. True. C uses procedures (functions and blocks) to implement code. Each procedure indicates steps that are to be followed to solve a given problem.
  4. True. Like any compiler, the C++ compiler translates C++ source code into the machine code of the target CPU.
  5. True. The function of the operating system is to manage the resources (memory, processors, I/O systems, information etc.)
  6. True. Local Area Network (LAN) is specifically designed to handle data transfer between computers that are geographically near (within usually a 1 km radius). They transfer data through a physical medium at high data rates and low error rates. Thus it is most suitable for connecting computers in a building. 
  7. True. It contains two protocols one is the transmission protocol that deals with the transportation of packets from source to destination (TCP). Another protocol is IP (Internet protocol) which is specifically for transporting data through the Internet. 
  8. True. “If” is a valid identifier but “if” is not a valid identifier, “if “ is a reserved word.
  9. False. A-23 is not a valid constant. It contains a variable “A”.
  10. True. Flash memories use EEPROM (electronically erasable programmable read-only memory). Data can be written and erased as many times as we wish. EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) are non-volatile. Data is not lost when power is turned off.

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
