Events Affect Programs

An Event occurs when a Software Program is running. A Hardware Unit may cause an Event. An Event may be triggered by a piece of Software. 

Pressing action on the ENTER key of a connected keyboard is regarded as an Event. Keyboard generated Event originates from Computer Hardware ( Yes, the Keyboard is a part of Computer Hardware ). This Event is recognized by the Computer System. 

Computer Hardware may be the source of an Event. It may be the case that an Event caused by Hardware is  handled by another piece of  Hardware. In this case the piece of  Hardware is the Event Handler. 

These days specialized Hardware is very much used. Specialized Hardware may be directed to take action on an Event that occurred.

Programming mistakes are called as Errors. It is a mistake by a Programmer to perform an operation that is not allowed. When Error(s) occur, they are systematically reported to a Programmer. Errors are properly handled. Error Management is a part of Software Product. Programming Errors are also categorized as Events. 

We can say that a Computer System empowers a user to observe the result of Events. Computer Software is indeed helpful in recording the occurrence of an Event. Some Events are helpful while others are not.

Occurrence of an Event, is followed by processing of the Event. Software may be said to be responsible for processing of the Event. 

Processing of an Event produces  results. These results  may be available with the Software that processed the Event. It may happen that the result of a Event is felt and captured by Computer Hardware. 

Two most important points regarding an Event:

( A ) Event has origin

( B ) Event produces effect 

When an Event has happened, the future course of action can be decided by the Computer.

Local-Area Networks

Local-Area Networks ( LANs ) are restricted to a small area. Such Networks may be established within a building. Computers that are part of Local-Area Networks are Personal Computers ( PCs ) or microcomputers. These Computers are connected to each other. Simple communication lines connect these Pers Networks bring people together. When people join  hands teamwork becomes possible. The structural composition of LANs simplifies teamwork. In other words, LAN hardware supports teams having similar processing requirements. LAN Computers readily support personalization of tasks allocated to professionals.  Office staff can work together and share information. This improves the efficiency of the entire workforce. It has been noted that here all the Networked Computers are Personal Computers. They are of equal capacity. Mostly LAN users have similar tasks. If situations allow, a user is independent to access any Computer to serve his purpose. LAN users can exercise the option of secu...

Euclid's Algorithm

The Greatest Common Divisor ( GCD ) of  two numbers is a number. The number ( GCD ) causes division of the two numbers. This number ( GCD ) is the greatest number that is possible. This divisor partially forms the two numbers. Adding  the divisor successively may result in formation of the two numbers. One can note that when the divisor is the greatest, the division of the dividend is the sharpest. The division operation is very effective. When the Greatest Common Divisor of two numbers is considered, we think of a number that can cause division of both the numbers. Here the two numbers are unequal. The Greatest Common Divisor causes divisions of the two numbers differently. This is clear from the two different quotient values.  The GCD value is very interesting to note. It relates very well with the two numbers. The GCD of two even numbers is also an even number. The GCD of two odd numbers is an odd number. So, we can say that GCD is an abstraction of the two numbers in ...
