Q:

Write a c program for merge sort.

Answer

#include
#define MAX 50

void mergeSort(int arr[],int low,int mid,int high);
void partition(int arr[],int low,int high);

int main(){
  
    int merge[MAX],i,n;

    printf("Enter the total number of elements: ");
    scanf("%d",&n);

    printf("Enter the elements which to be sort: ");
    for(i=0;i<n;i++){
         scanf("%d",&merge[i]);
    }

    partition(merge,0,n-1);

    printf("After merge sorting elements are: ");
    for(i=0;i<n;i++){
         printf("%d ",merge[i]);
    }

   return 0;
}

void partition(int arr[],int low,int high){

    int mid;

    if(low<high){
         mid=(low+high)/2;
         partition(arr,low,mid);
         partition(arr,mid+1,high);
         mergeSort(arr,low,mid,high);
    }
}

void mergeSort(int arr[],int low,int mid,int high){

    int i,m,k,l,temp[MAX];

    l=low;
    i=low;
    m=mid+1;

    while((l<=mid)&&(m<=high)){

         if(arr[l]<=arr[m]){
             temp[i]=arr[l];
             l++;
         }
         else{
             temp[i]=arr[m];
             m++;
         }
         i++;
    }

    if(l>mid){
         for(k=m;k<=high;k++){
             temp[i]=arr[k];
             i++;
         }
    }
    else{
         for(k=l;k<=mid;k++){
             temp[i]=arr[k];
             i++;
         }
    }
  
    for(k=low;k<=high;k++){
         arr[k]=temp[k];
    }
}


Sample output:

Enter the total number of elements: 5
Enter the elements which to be sort: 2 5 0 9 1
After merge sorting elements are: 0 1 2 5 9

Q:

Give the truth table for a Half Adder. Give a gate level Implementation of the same.

Answer

TRUTH TABLE FOR HALF ADDER


A    B  SUM  CARRY


0    0    0         0


0    1    1         0


1    0    1         0


1    1    0         1


INPLEMENTATION:


For SUM, The two inputs A and B are given to XOR gate.


For Carry, The two inputs A and B are given to AND gate.

Q:

What are the different job scheduling in operating systems?

Answer

Scheduling is the activity of the deciding when process will receive the resources they request.


FCS ---> FCSFS stands for First Come First Served. In FCFS the job that has been waiting the longest is served next.


Round Robin Scheduling--->Round Robin scheduling is a scheduling method where each process gets a small quantity of time to run and then it is preempted and the next process gets to run. This is called time-sharing and gives the effect of all the processes running at the same time


Shortest Job First ---> The Shortest job First scheduling algorithm is a nonpreemptive scheduling algorithm that chooses the job that will execute the shortest amount of time.


Priority Scheduling--->Priority scheduling is a scheduling method where at all times the highest priority process is assigned the resource.
