Q:

What are java threads?

Answer

Java is one of the small number of languages that support at the language level for the creation and management of threads. However, because threads are managed by the java virtual machine (JVM), not by a user-level library or kernel, it is difficult to classify Java threads as either user- or kernel-level.

Q:

What is cycle stealing?

Answer

We encounter cycle stealing in the context of Direct Memory Access (DMA). Either the DMA controller can use the data bus when the CPU does not need it, or it may force the CPU to temporarily suspend operation. The latter technique is called cycle stealing. Note that cycle stealing can be done only at specific break points in an instruction cycle.

Answer

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
  int num,i,f,r,sum=0,temp;

  printf("Enter a number: ");
  scanf("%d",&num);
 
  temp=num;
  while(num){
      i=1,f=1;
      r=num%10;

      while(i<=r){
         f=f*i;
        i++;
      }
      sum=sum+f;
      num=num/10;
  }
  if(sum==temp)
      printf("%d is a strong number",temp);
  else
      printf("%d is not a strong number",temp);

  return 0;
}

Sample output:
