Hi guys. I|Many TDF members (including me) are currently pursuing their engineering. As for most sstudents :)D) exams would be after ~2 months, I decided to create his thread. Members/Students can post thir queries of C.S.E. 5 th semester (yes, I'm currently in 5th semester) here.

The subjects:

Theory:

Computer Architecture
Database Management Systems
Operating Systems
Digital Logic Design
Advanced Data Structures
Telecommunication Fundamentals


You may include other subjects according to your syllabus and university.

I doubt it. Go study the official material and connect with your teacher rather than reading this thread.

Well there are sometimes when teachers gives you assignment and who knows may be this thread could help someone Maybe

CAn anyone explain 'bankers algorithm' and 'Booth's multiplication algorithm'?

DO NOT start with Let us C. The book is sub-par.
Instead read "The C Programming Language", also known as K&R; R stands for (Dennis) Ritchie, the man who created C.
Who can explain a language better than the man who designed it?

CAn anyone explain 'bankers algorithm' and 'Booth's multiplication algorithm'?

Don't remember the complete details but you can check wikipedia and this site has lots of free technical books where you are sure to find your answer: *freetechbooks.com/

I'm also doing BE CSE, now 5th semester.
My Subjects are

System Software
Software Engineering
Theory of Computation
Programming Paradigm (java)
Computer Networks
Discreet Mathematics

Btw can any 1 give link for Theory of Computation-study material.?

I had these subjects in last sem. Plus I know Java too. Shoot your queries.

CAn anyone explain 'bankers algorithm' and 'Booth's multiplication algorithm'?

booth's multiplication is simple.
>modifies the multiplier using 1 ,0 and -1
>same for both signed and unsigned numbers
bit recording rule
bit i bit i-1 new bit at position i
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 -1
1 1 0
eg:
multiplicant ,m =1010(-6)
multiplier q = 1110(-2)
take multiplier and do bit recording for the above table.
multiplier,q : 11100(put a zero as last bit for even digits, i think )
after bit recording ,q: 0 0 -1 0
now do m*q
1 0 1 0 *
0 0 -1 0
---------------
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (sign extend l since multiplying 1 0 1 0*0 = "0" 0 0 0, and sign extend the quoted bit )
0 0 0 0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
--------------
0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0
multiplying by -1 => taking its 2's compliment.

i dont know about banker's algorthim, i am an ECE student ;-)

also if multiplier is positive, take the 2's complement of the result to obtain the correct value

My exams are almost finished, only java remaining.

BTW what is reflection in java?

this will be usefull: java - What is reflection, and why is it useful? - Stack Overflow

BTW my exams are starting on 12th December. I'm so happy that for the first time ever my exams will finish before January and I'll be finally able to attend 'Auto Expo' :exited: I was never ab;le to attend it because of exams.

Use Silberschatz's Operating System Concepts for OS. Banker's algorithm is well explained in that book.

I did, but didn't get it. Will try again when I have my O.S. exam in a few days.
