What is Randomized Algorithm?

Randomized Algorithm:
Any algorithm whose behavior is not only determined by the input, but also
values produced by a random number generator
These algorithms are often simpler and more efficient than deterministic
algorithms for the same problem. And because of there simplicity they are easier
to analyze which is the most important thing in the decision making of an
algorithm.

How a designer makes Structured Design?

Structured Design is known as a Top-down design.
The designed first conceives about the High level design and then further
designs the details of the high level design components and it goes on and on.
Making small changes in the functionality of the systems sometimes leads to
major re-design exercise. Structured design separates the functionality from
programs data and that’s why program’s deisgned by this methodology are
difficult to maintain.

Question No: 31 ( Marks: 5 )

Why microprocessor uses the binary number system and not the decimal or any
other number system?
The processor is the logic of a computer and functions comparably to a human
central nervous system, directing signals from one component to another and
enabling everything to happen. A microprocessor is made from miniaturized
transistors and other circuit elements on a single
semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) . These are made up oof semiconductor and
silicon.
Microprocessor are composed of components which has only two states either 0
or 1. Binary number system is also composed of these two states.

Microprocessor till today only understand the machine language and machine
language is only based on binary number system. Even today’s 64 bit
microprocessors are also based on this technology.
Question No: 32 ( Marks: 5 )
