Sort

Sorting is one of the most common applications in computer science. The process through which data are arranged in either ascending or descending order according to their values. Sorts are generally classified as either internal or external:

  • Internal sort -All of data are held in primary storage during the sorting process.
  • External sort- Uses primary storage for the data currently being sorted and secondary data for any data that will not fit in primary memory.
In choosing Sorting techniques there are few factors you should consider which are:
  • Number of item and load
  • Number of characters in item or record
  • Average case 
  • Best case
  • Worst case
  • Sorter stabilization especially for sorter that use 2 keys

Sorting Method

There are many sorting techniques, and every technique can be categorized according to their method group.Here is the method:
  1. Priority Queue Sorting Method
    • An array A is divided into sub-array P represents priority queue and sub-array Q represents output queue.
    • The idea is to find the largest key among unsorted key in P and place it at the end of queue of Q. This will result a sorted queue Q in increasing order.
    • Example of sorting techniques use this method are selection sort and heap sort.
  2. Insert And Keep Method
    • This method is done by inserting key from an unsorted array A into an empty holder C, doing the sorting as they are inserted. Thus, each keys in A that is entered, is placed in its correct sorted position in C from start.
    • Example of sorting techniques use this method are insertion sort and tree sort.
  3. Divide and Conquer Method
    • This method partition the unsorted list A into 2 sub-lists, L and R. The 2 sub lists are then sorted recursively. The sorted lists then combined into 1 list in such a way so that the combined list is sorted.
    • Example of sorting techniques use this method are quick sort and merge sort.
  4. Diminishing Increment Sort Method
    • Example of sorting technique use this method is Shell Sort.

Reading and Writing Operation of SRAM

Image
The diagram below is illustrate Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)Cell for the explanation. SRAM cell is make up of 2 inverters are cross-connected to form a latch .The latch is connected to 2 bit line by transistor T1 and T2 . T1 and T2 can switch opened or closed under control of word line.When word line is ground level, the transistors are turned off and the latch retrains its state. During the Read Operation ,Word line is activated to close switches T1 and T2 . If the cell is in state 1; the signal on b line is high and the signal on b’ line is low.The opposite is true if the cell is in state 0.Thus, b and b’ are always complements of each other’s. The sense /write circuit at the end of the two bit line monitors their state and sets the corresponding output accordingly. While in Write Operation ,the Sense/Write circuit drives bit lines b and b’, instead of sensing their state.It places the appropriate value on bit line b and its complement on b’ and activate the word ...

Reading & Writing Operation of DRAM

Image
In Dynamic Random Access Memory CELL , transistor acts as a switch to Close (allowing current to flow) when voltage applied in address line or Open (no current flow) when no voltage applied in address line.Address Line also known as word line .Which use to signal the transistor to close or open. During the Write operation ,a voltage is applied on the bit line and a signal applied to the address line to close the transistor.Then the voltage applied on the bit line will transfer to capacitor and store in the capacitor However the capacitor has tendency to discharge and has to refresh to maintain the bit. While in Reading Operation ,the instruction find the bit store using the address line to read the data or bit. When the address line is selected ,the transistor turns on and the charge stored on the capacitor is fled out onto a bit line and to sense amplifier. Sense amplifiers compare the capacitor voltage to reference value to determine the logic 1 or logic 0.The read out from ...

Method to Convert from Stream to Json C#

Recently I was using the C# HttpClient to make REST request but I found that is was quite troublesome so I have changed to using HttpWebRequest instead. So want the HttpWebRequest result is return it was in Stream form. I not able to convert it into Json. this is the method i convert the stream to JSON. HttpWebResponse response = ( HttpWebResponse ) requirejs . GetResponse (); Stream stream = response . GetResponseStream (); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( stream ); var serializer = new System . Web . Script . Serialization . JavaScriptSerializer (); var jsonObject = serializer . DeserializeObject ( sr . ReadToEnd ()); As you can see that jsonObject is an object. Now you can parse it into the Json(JsonObject); If you have any question can leave a comment below.
