In general, if you are looking for resources for this unit look on LMS as Amitava can't upload anything on Chris's website.

ANONYMOUS wrote That is correct; on my 6-core iMac, I can ask it to show me the 6 processes running on different the cores.


SVG not supported 2:24pm Wed 21st Aug, Harsh C.

To my understanding, I believe that is correct.

In the Lecture 8 slides, it says that there is only ever a single process in the running state. Am I correct in saying that this is only the case when the computer has only one CPU with one core? Because if the CPU has multiple cores, then each core ...

Hi, I'm not really sure about some of the terminology used in the lecture today. The main one is a "word". I have done a little bit of reading and am still relatively unsure, if you could explain what specifically it is and what we use it for that wo...

The PDF link for lecture 1 doesn't work. I was wondering if it would be possible to have that fixed please.

In last Monday's lecture we saw both the sizeof() and strlen() functions when discussing arrays and, in particular, arrays of characters which we treated as strings. The two functions serve different roles and, so, shouldn't be confused....

ANONYMOUS wrote Firstly, since the C99 standard (and hence in C11), main() must be a function returning an int , so you'll typically see int main(void) or int main(int arc, char argv ); Within main() you can either retur...

As far as I'm aware it's simply a matter of preference )


SVG not supported 5:10pm Mon 5th Aug, ANONYMOUS

Hello, I was just wondering if there was a difference between declaring main as an int function and returning 0 on success, and declaring main as a void function and returning EXIT SUCCESS. To my understanding, there is no difference, so is it just a...

Thank you very much )


SVG not supported 9:17pm Thu 25th Jul, Joshua N.

Hey Jinyoung If I remember correctly floats are 4 bytes and doubles are 8 bytes (hence the name double) but Chris may need to clarify. An integer value must be at least 2 bytes (or 16 bits) but it is usually 4 bytes (32 bits). It's a bit confusing ...


SVG not supported 5:28pm Thu 25th Jul, Jinyoung L.

According to the slide 2, page 4 in Variables, the page says that "A typical C program will use 4 bytes to hold a single integer value, or 8 bytes to hold a single floating-point value." It this correct? Integer value has 2 or 4 bytes and a single floa...
