Phases of storing and handling data

Phases of storing and handling data
This post is all about the different way of storing the data .data is the most important part of any organization and today the whole IT industry is working for this. most of the times we are spending our time in storing updating and accessing this data. So here the step by step ways of handling data is given.
In the beginning of time we are using arrays as a means of storage of data but because of its limitations we switch on to the next concept but it has also some limitations so we move on to the next concept which is queues and then  linked lists.        

  • Arrays
  • Stack        
  • Queues
  • Linked list
       Array
       Stack
Queu
Link list
Concept:
an array is a data structure used to process multiple elements with the same data type when a number of such elements are known.
A stack is a      memory in which values are stored and retrieved in “”last in first out” manner by using operation called push and pop.
A queu is also a list of elements with insertion at one end- called rear, and deletions permitted from other end- called the front.
A link is a data structure that is used to model such a dynamic list of data items.
Working property:
Uses similar type of data items and static in nature.
Uses the property of LIFO (last in first out) which means it has only one entry and exit point and the data last inserted will be pop first.
Uses the property of FIFO (first in first out) which means that the data first inserted will pop up first. Just like a real life queue.
Using the concept of DMA (dynamic memory allocation) allocates the memory space during program execution.
How accessed? :
Uses subscript for accessing its each element lowest subscript represented as zero  and highest subscript as
 (n-1) element.
Uses a pointer TOP to  store the different values  using the concept of push and and pop. push means to insert an element and pop means to delete an element.
Uses two pointer rear and front rear contains the first value of the given data and front contains the last element of the given data.
It has two ends first and last just like queue but its every and has two parts data part and address part  which is accessed with a next variable which is a user defined variable .
Representation:





a[0]………..a[n-1]
 Where used? :
Is used when the number elements are known. For e.g. if you have to find the average marks of 50 students then array will be suitable for this.
Stack is basically used for handling or execution of large programs within a small memory space with its concept of push and pop. Is used to store a list of elements process it and then pop it up.
there is need to store different kinds of data and all kind  of data can not be stored using a stack then the concept of queue is made.it has two ends just like a real life queue in this concept the data first inserted  will be processed first and works on FIFO which means the data inserted first will be processed first just opposite to stack.
This concept is used for allocating the memory space  exactly without wastage storage of data and memory location. and this  can be only done at the time of insertion of data which is done by using the concept of dynamic memory allocation DMA.

In the above table arrays ,stacks ,queues and linked list is explained . every invention is done because of the limitations of its previous concepts in the same way array has the limitation that there is a lots of memory wastage, then we switched on the concept of stack in which we are using arrays in which  there is a continuous operation is performed known as  push and pop.in this operation we in small memory space it can perform different execution of operations but we need some more  then the concept of queue is made because stack has the problem that the data inserted first will be last out and we have other type of data which  can not be process using this concept then this problem removed in queue and after this the linked list is made to reduce the execution time of different operations  . Each and every  concept of storing data is appropriate according to its kind and all concepts used according to the demand of data storage.

Pre-compiled Headers

A precompiled header is a (c and c++) header that is compiled into intermediate form that is faster to process for the computer. Turbo C++ can generate (and subsequently use) pre-compiled headers for your projects.   Pre-compiled headers are header files that are compiled once, then used over and over again in their compiled state.  Using Pre-compiled Headers To control the use of pre-compiled headers, do one of the following:   1) Turn on the [X] Pre-compiled Headers option in the Options -> Compiler->  Code Generation dialog box.   The IDE bases the name of the pre-compiled header file on the project name, creating <project>.SYM   2) Use the - H, -H=<filename>, and -Hu command-line options with TCC.EXE.   3) Use the hdrfile and hdrstop pragmas inside your code.    Code Generation dialog box t his dialog box is where you select the memory model you'll be using and any options you find necessary for the type of code you want to generate

CONNECTING WITH FTP-FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL

With FTP we can send files attached to e-mail ,but this is inefficient  and wastes resources if the files are large. Instead there’s FTP a method of retrieving files from and sending files to others computers on the net. Ideally, FTP will be built into windows and MAC operating systems some day (as it already is for unix) , so that managing files on the internet will be easy as managing files on your own computer. The typical FTP session starts when you run the FTP program and connect to an FTP site . depending on the program and connect to an FTP site. Depending on the program you have, you’ll eitherenter your login information before connecting or you’ll be premoted to do it after you connect. If you’re using a web browser to connect to an anonymous site, the browser.  Connecting with FTP May  prompt you to log in, though most send your e-mail address as the password automatically, these general steps illustrate a typical FTP session: 1.        Start your software o

PROBING THE INTERNET WITH TELNET:

One aspect of the interconnectedness of the NET is that you can log in to other machines on the internet directly from from your own computer,no matter where you are.with TELNET you can log onto any computer  or network thousands of public sites where passwords are not required .you would not be able to work on these unix systems without telnet, which turns your windows or macnitosh computer into a remote terminal that is compatible with computers outside of the personal computer universe. Many university and public libraries make their catalog available by telnet,as do countlass other repositories of useful information. After you have started your telnet program, you need to open a internet connection and log in to the site with the steps described here: Type telnet and press enter at the unix prompt. This will put you at a telnet> prompt. then type open host site name and press enter. Logging in with telnet is the same as logging in to any computer system.
