If you are addicted to coffee and doctors warn you to quit the habit, don’t worry and just keep relishing the beverage, because it is not that bad after all! In fact, according to a new study, the steaming cup of Java can beat fruits and vegetables as the primary source of antioxidants. Some studies state that coffee is the number one source of antioxidants in the American diet, and both caffeinated and decaf versions appear to provide similar antioxidant levels. Antioxidants, in general, have been linked to several potential health benefits, including protection against heart diseases and cancer, but Vinson, a dietitian said that their benefits ultimately depend on how they are absorbed and utilized in the body. The research says that coffee outranks popular antioxidant sources like tea, milk, chocolate, and cranberries. Of all the foods and beverages studied dates have the most antioxidants based solely on the serving size, but since dates are not consumed anywhere near the level of coffee, the drink comes as the top source of antioxidants, Vinson said.Besides keeping you alert and awake, coffee has been linked to an increasing number of potential health benefits, including protection against liver and colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease, according to some recently published studies.The researchers, however, advise that one should consume coffee in moderation because it can make you jittery and cause stomach pains.1.

Write the features of UNIX operating system.

Answer»

The features of the UNIX operating system are:

1. Multi-tasking:

More than one program can be run at a time

2. Portability:

Only the kernel (<10%) is written in assembler tools for program development a wide range of support tools (debuggers, compilers). The system is written in high-level language making it easier to read, understand, changed and, therefore move to other machines.

3. Machine-independence: 

The System hides the machine architecture from the user, making it easier to write applications that can run on micros, mins, and mainframes.

4. Multi-User Operations:

UNIX is a multi-user system designed to support a group of users simultaneously. The system allows for the sharing of processing power and peripheral resources, while at the same time providing excellent security features.

5. Hierarchical File System:

UNIX uses a hierarchical file structure to store information. This structure has the maximum flexibility in grouping information in a way that reflects its natural state. It allows for easy maintenance and efficient implementation.

43.

What is looping? Write the syntax and example for while loop construct.

Answer»

A ‘while’ loop statement repeatedly executes a statement or sequence of statements written in the flower brackets as long as a given condition returns the value ‘true’.

Syntax:

The syntax of a ‘while’ loop in C++ is:

while(condition)

{

statement (s) ;

}

Here the condition may be any expression, and for true is any non zero value. The loop iterates while the condition is true. When the condition becomes false, program control passes to the line immediately following the loop. During the first attempt, when the condition is tested and the result is false, the loop body will be skipped and the first statement after the ‘while’ loop will be executed.

Example:

#include<iostream>

int main()

{

int a = 10;

while(a<15)

{

cout<<"value of a:"<<a<<endl;

a++;

}

return  0;

}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result:

value of a: 10

value of a: 11

value of a: 12

value of a: 13

value of a: 14

44.

2. cos() function:

It is a mathematical function that returns the cosine Value for the given radians.

Syntax: float cos( float arg );

3. cell() function: It is a mathematical function that returns the smallest integer value that is not less than the specified number. In other words, it returns the Round-Up value of a given number.

Syntax: float cell( float num);

4. exp() function:

It is a mathematical function that returns the natural logarithm base “e” raised to the power equal to the argument.

Syntax: float exp( float num);

5. sqrt() function:

It is a mathematical function that returns the square root of the given “num” value.
