hi :ph34r:

 

I have some questions regarding computer science and i thought this might be the best place to get the right answer.

 

What is a bootloader?

What are the components of FAST RAM(flash EEPROM).

What is logical decoding and what can it do?

What is Accumulator / working register?

What is written in configuration register?

what is the diffrence between microprocessor and microcontroller?

 

 

Thank you in advance.

My answer are incomplete for university homework for your Computer Science degree, but will guide you.

The answers should be in your book, and course material, and may require personal research to complete them.

You will probably get at best a fraction of a point for all questions.

 

What is a bootloader?

Process of several stages (4) to start a computer, find the OS and load it.

 

What are the components of FAST RAM(flash EEPROM).

EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory

It is fast memory. Chips that keep data in memory via power, but retain that data when power is cut off. A common application for them are on your common USB flash drive.

 

What is logical decoding and what can it do?

What context?

 

What is Accumulator / working register?

What is written in configuration register?

Registers are memory on the CPU that stores data from an equation when doing math operation or execute instructions.

 

what is the diffrence between microprocessor and microcontroller?

One controls things, navigates, organizes, places things, and the other process data (does math, logic, etc).

 

Thank you in advance.

We are not here to do your homework. We can verify your answers, and maybe help you complete them, but that is about it. This is not to be mean, but you have to understand we can spend an hour typing a detail answer for 2-3 questions. Not to mention, to be university grade many of us need to dust off our books to make sure everything is accurate at 100% for you. That is a A LOT of work which we should not be doing, but you are. Those who know, we already have done it. Now it is your turn. It also greatly help you in your tests and quizzes. Giving you the answer and say "I'll study/memorize them" won't get you a passing grade, because University a nice portion of the questions in your exams, is not "what did you remember by heart" but rather, your understanding. So remembering answers won't help you. And using vagueness to get out and B.S your way through wont' work in Computer Science or any engineering field. You might be lucky and it might work with a professor because you just started with your intro class, and he/she is like the super nicest professor, but that is not helping you. University is about preparing yourself for research, and critical thinking. Something you will do in your work. Not as a junior, but later. And of course, university doesn't prepare you for the work field, but rather prepares you for a Master/PhD degree., in other words, be a researcher. Hence why companies have this thing called "R&D", and while your job might not be part of an R&D department, you will be doing things as research (see what it would do, test concepts, apply them, retry again, and so on). You will also implement things you never knew about, never learned about. And the skills you learned at University, will help you be the researcher you need to read and understand complexity of many things to be able to implement them,

Really? You are taking a computer science major and you're asking a random forum consisting of 80% people bellow 16 to do your homework. I'm lazy too man but this is just too lazy.

Well that is not really true, but few here have a degree in Computer Science / Software engineer, or Computer engineer

Yeah but with a forum of over 20K users, a lot of people are still too young to be able to adequately answer these questions. I'm in uni and I can't - though I am studying different things. It still bugs me when people get others to do their work for them though

Well I feel better about myself knowing I've just started my second year of college (UK) and can answer those... GoodBytes has gave you enough for you to come up with a thorough answer for each though (not strictly just his direct response to each, but enough for you to get your head around each of them and look further into them using your own material, which is I think what his intention for you to do was :D)

Oh fun fact: the forum has 238,757 users :)

Now if they are active users or not, I don't know. But you can see that number at the bottom of the main page of the forum.

Oh - I somehow misread that as 20K :o - well - that reinforces my point - how many of a quarter of a million people know the answer to the OP's homework? xD

@snakbarBEDAK if I can give you a tip for your degree. Treat school as a job. I mean assume 7/8h days in school studying (with class time). So basically between classes, and after class, be at the library (or whatever where you can focus without distraction) and study. If you want to do well, this is what you need to do to be successful in University. Of course, add more time for period near exams.

do you really want my answers. plus i dont want to violate your school's code of conduct by doing your homework.  maybe you should look into someother major when you are too lazy to even use google.  my uni had a recreation and leisure major. it has a class on how to be a mascot.

OP, you cheapen your own education when you ask for the answers to be spoon fed to you like this. Go out and read a book, and you'll retain the information much better just from having gone out and figured it out on your own. Better yet, learn it, then go tutor someone else who's having more trouble with it than you are. Best way to retain information is to teach it.
