Keyboard working functions

How do a keyboard work A keyboard works by when you press a letter/button on a keyboard the keyboard will scan the logic in the keyboard the keyboard will send a key code to the keyboard controller to be stored in the keyboard register. The CPU will retrieve the key from the keyboard it will send an instruction from the keyboard controller instruction set to the KBD controller which will place it on the data bus. BIOS is the firmware that comes with the motherboard that stored in the BIOS chip is different than the CMOS chip. Two types of hardware the BIOS has to deal with are: Non changeable hardware such as the keyboards and speaker and changeable hardware such as the memory and disk drivers. Specific details about the changeable hardware is stored in CMOS. Saving configuration from the UEFI writes information to the CMOS. System will notify you if info in CMOS does not match what it finds in the system. CMOS is volatile memory. It requires power that is supplied from the battery on ...

Looping notes

There are four different types of loop in programing The for loop is used to count from one value to another. The for each loop is used to easily iterate over all of the elements in a collection. The while loop is used to go on as long as some condition is true. The do while loop is used to always execute at least once. Example of a for loop will look like For (int i=; i++) Console.Write (i ” “); } Example of a for each loop will look like Int [ ] values = 0,1,2,3,4}; Foreach (int value in values) { Console.Write (value +” “) { Example of while loop will look like Int i =0; While (i>5) } Console.Write (it” “); I++; } Example of do while loop will look like Int i=0; Do { Console.Write (it” “); I++; } while (i

Networks/ examples

A Microsoft OneDrive is a hosting service that Microsoft operates that was first launched in the mount of August of 2007 it enables registered users to share and synchronize the files. NETWORK SERVICES Service is a shared function that is provided by a server over a network but somethings these services are named by the protocol that enables them. Here are some examples * Print services are provided with an orderly access to a shared printer. * Domain name services (DNS) have the ability to translate friendly domain names to IP addresses. * Dynamic host configuration protocol (DNCP) that provides the orderly assignment of IP addresses for a network. * File services provides the person to have access to your remote files. * Hypertext transfer protocol provides the person with information that gives the user access and information to transfer to and from sites on the World Wide Web. * Mail services provide the user to send and receive along with storage of electronic mail messages. * A...
