Explain in detail the types of pyplots using Matplotlib?

Answer»

Line Chart:

A Line Chart or Line Graph is a type of chart which displays information as a series of data points called ‘markers’ connected by straight line segments. A Line Chart is often used to visualize a trend in data over intervals of time – a time series – thus the line is often drawn chronologically. 

Example: Line plot

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

years= [2014,2015,2016,2017,2018] 

totaljopulations = [8939007, 8954518,8960387,8956741, 8943721]

plt.plot (years, total_populations)

plt.title (“Year vs Population in India”)

plt.xlabel (“Year”)

plt.ylabel (“Total Population”)

plt.legend( )

pit. show( )

In this program,

Plt.title( ) → specifies title to the graph

Plt.xlabel( ) → specifies label for X-axis

Plt.ylabel( ) → specifies label for Y-axis

Explain Network Simulation Tool – NS2 in detail?

Answer»

Network simulation tool – NS2:

  • In computer network, network simulation is a method whereby a software program , models the activities of a network by calculating the communication between the different network objects such as(routers, nodes, switches, access points, links etc.).
  • A network simulator is a software program that replicates the functioning of a computer network.
  • In simulators, the computer network is typically demonstrated with devices, traffic etc. and the performance are evaluated.
  • Normally, users can then adapt the simulator to accomplish their precise analysis needs. The network parameters define the state of the network (node placement, existing links) and the events (data transmissions, link failures, etc.).
  • A significant output of simulation is the trace files. Trace files can document every incident that happened in the simulation and are used for examination.
  • NS2 is the abbreviation of NETWORK SIMULATOR version 2. It was considered explicitly for exploration in network communication and event-driven open-source simulator in computer.
  • OTCL and C++ used to create and run NS2. NS2 works on Windows and Linux platforms, that supports wired or wireless network and also use the command line interface as a user interface, API a pure event base software tool with super simulation design, it has more models which help the user to get desired output easily.

22.

Differentiate Open Source Software with free software?

Answer»

Open-Source Software vs. Free Software: Although the terms are often used interchangeably, OSS is slightly different from free software. Both deal with the ability to download and modify software without restriction or charge.

However, free software a concept developed in the 1980s by an MIT computer science researcher, Richard Stallman is defined by four conditions, as outlined by the nonprofit Free Software Foundation. These “four freedoms” emphasize the ability of users to use and enjoy software as they see fit.

In contrast, the OSS criteria, which the Open Source Initiative developed a decade later, place more emphasis on the modification of software, and the consequences of altering source code, licensing, and distribution.

Obviously, the two overlap; some would say the differences between OSS and free software are more philosophical than practical. However, neither should be confused with freeware. Freeware usually refers to proprietary software that users can download at no cost, but whose source code cannot be changed.

Why is soft iron generally used as the core of the electromagnet?

Answer»

(i) Soft iron has less retentivity so it acquires the magnetic properties only when the current flows through the coil wound on it and loses the magnetic properties as the current is switched off. 

(ii) The soft iron intensifies the magnetic field of the electromagnet because of its high permeability. 

46.

What is an electromagnet?

Is the following relation a function? Justify your answer (i) R1 = {(2, 3), ( 1/2 , 0), (2, 7), (– 4, 6)} (ii) R2 = {(x, |x |) | x is a real number}

Answer»

(i) Since (2, 3) and (2, 7) ∈ R1 

⇒ R1 (2) = 3 and R1 (2) = 7 

So R1 (2) does not have a unique image. Thus R1 is not a function. 

(ii) R2 = {(x, |x |) / x ∈R} For every x ∈ R there will be unique image as |x | ∈ R. 

Therefore R2 is a function.

Let A = {–1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 3}. Determine(i) A × B(ii) B × A(iii) B × B(iv) A × A

Answer»

According to the question,

A = {–1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 3}

(i) A × B

{–1, 2, 3} × {1, 3}

So, A × B = {(–1, 1), (–1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 3)}

Hence, the Cartesian product = {(–1, 1), (–1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 3)}

(ii) B × A.

{1, 3} × {–1, 2, 3}

So, B × A = {(1, –1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (3, –1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}

Hence, the Cartesian product = {(1, –1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (3, –1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}

(iii) B × B

{1, 3} ×{1, 3}

So, B × B = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (3, 1), (3, 3)}

Hence, the Cartesian product = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (3, 1), (3, 3)}

(iv) A × A

{–1, 2, 3} × {–1, 2, 3}

So, A × A = {(–1, –1), (–1, 2), (–1, 3), (2, –1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, –1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}

Hence, the Cartesian product ={(–1, –1), (–1, 2), (–1, 3), (2, –1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, –1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}
