what is the differernce between if (a=0) and if (a= -7) or any other non-zero number e.g what will be the out put of following program a)if ( a=0) printf(""a is zero ") else printf("a is not zero") and if we replace 0 by some +ve or -ve number then

Consider the following grammar: stmt $\rightarrow$ if expr then expr else expr; stmt | $0$ expr $\rightarrow$ term relop term | term term $\rightarrow$ id | number id $\rightarrow$ a | b | c number $\rightarrow [0-9]$ where relop is a relational operator (e.g.. $<$ ... example. the program if $e_1$ then $e_2$ else $e_3$ has $2$ control flow paths. $e_1 \rightarrow e_2$ and $e_1 \rightarrow e_3$.

Let $A$ and $B$ be finite alphabets and let $\#$ be a symbol outside both $A$ and $B$. Let $f$ be a total function from $A^{*}$ to $B^{*}$. We say $f$ is computable if there exists a Turing machine $M$ which given an input $x \in A^{*}$ ... . If $f$ is computable then $L_{f}$ is recursive, but not conversely. If $f$ is computable then $L_{f}$ is recursively enumerable, but not conversely.

A multithreaded program $P$ executes with $x$ number of threads and uses $y$ number of locks for ensuring mutual exclusion while operating on shared memory locations. All locks in the program are non-reentrant, i.e., if a thread holds a lock $l$, then it cannot re-acquire lock $l$ without releasing it. If a thread is ... deadlock are: $x = 1, y = 2$ $x = 2, y = 1$ $x = 2, y = 2$ $x = 1, y = 1$

Recall that Belady's anomaly is that the page-fault rate may increase as the number of allocated frames increases. Now, consider the following statement: $S1$: Random page replacement algorithm (where a page chosen at random is replaced) suffers from Belady's anomaly. $S2$: LRU page replacement ... $S1$ is true, $S2$is false $S1$ is false, $S2$is true $S1$ is false, $S2$is false
