EOF has been defined as #define EOF -1 n the file "stdio.h" and an unsigned char ranges from 0 to 255 hence when EOF is read from the file it cannot be accommodated in ch. Solution is to declare ch as an int.

It is a useful, memory-saving technique for multiprogrammed timesharing systems. A Reentrant Procedure is one in which multiple users can share a single copy of a program during the same period. Reentrancy has 2 key aspects: The program code cannot modify itself, and the local data for each user process must be stored separately. Thus, the permanent part is the code, and the temporary part is the pointer back to the calling program and local variables used by that program. Each execution instance is called activation. It executes the code in the permanent part, but has its own copy of local variables/parameters. The temporary part associated with each activation is the activation record. Generally, the activation record is kept on the stack.

Note: A reentrant procedure can be interrupted and called by an interrupting program, and still execute correctly on returning to the procedure.

The conspicuous role of Gandhi is that of a person who makes changes to something in order to improve it.

Use the concept of register-retiming.

divide the totla combinatorial delay in two segments such that individually the delay is less the clock period.

this can be done by inserting a flip-flop in the combinational path.

e.g.,

clock period --- 5 ns

total cominational delay ---- 7

then divide the 7ns path in two path of 4 or 3 (best resutls are obtained if delays are  same for both path i.e 3.5ns) by inserting a flip-flop in between.
