Study Notes

Programming Concepts

A variable that stores a reference to another variable is called a pointer.
A program that translates a high-level language like C++ to a machine language is called a compiler.
A recursive function is a function that calls itself.
If a function does not have a return value, its return type is Void.
ofstream is a header file that permits writing of data to a file.
A global variable is a variable that is available anywhere within a program.

Object-Oriented Programming

A class is a blueprint of an object.
The constructor of a class is a special method that is called when an object is created.
Private is a visibility modifier that makes methods and data fields accessible only from within its own class.
The keyword used to create a subclass/derived class in inheritance is extends.

Databases

Internal Schema defines how and where data are organized in physical data storage.
Entity Relationship is applied at the conceptual database design level.
The SQL command to define the primary key for an existing table is ALTER TABLE.
Normalization is a process of organizing the fields and tables of a database to minimize data redundancy and dependency.

Computer Architecture

Von-Neumann Architecture is a type of computer architecture that uses a single bus to transfer data and instructions.
Cache memory is a small, fast memory that stores frequently used data or instructions.
Virtual memory is a technique that uses both hardware and software to enable a computer to use more memory than is physically available.

Data Communication

OSI model is a 7-layered framework for designing and implementing computer networks.
Segmentation of a data stream happens at the Transport layer of the OSI model.
Fiber-optic cable is a type of cable that is not susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

Algorithms

Dynamic Programming is a method of solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems.
Greedy Algorithm is a method of solving problems by making the locally optimal choice at each step.
Breadth-First Search (BFS) is a graph traversal algorithm that traverses a graph in a breadthward motion.

Web Development

Static website is a website that does not change its content unless the actual webpage file is edited.
Server-side scripting language is a programming language that runs on a web server to generate dynamic web pages.
JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that is used to create interactive web pages.

Operating Systems

Deadlock is a situation where two or more processes are blocked, waiting for each other to release resources.
Page fault occurs when a process requests a page that is not in memory.
Scheduling algorithms are used to allocate the CPU to different processes.
Modularization is a technique of breaking down a program into smaller, independent modules.

Software Engineering

Requirements engineering is the process of defining, analyzing, documenting, and maintaining the requirements of a software system.
System testing determines if a system meets the entire requirements (functional and nonfunctional).
Aggregation, composition, and generalization are mechanisms of object-oriented design.
