Answer / shankar
An interrupt driven device sends an interrupt request to the computer, which is then serviced by Internet service routine(ISR).
To effectively manage many processes the core of operating system makes use of what is known as interrupts.
This is a signal to a processor indicating that an asynchronous event has occurred. Here the current sequence of instructions is temporarily suspended, and a sequence appropriate to the interruption is started in its place. Its purpose is to alert the operating system when any special event occurs so that it can suspend its current activity and deal appropriately with the new situation
Usually an interrupt gives a signal from a device attached to a computer or from a program within the computer that causes the main program that operates the computer (the operating system) to stop and figure out what to do next. Almost all personal (or larger) computers today are interrupt-driven - that is, they start down the list of computer instructions in one program (perhaps an application such as a word processor) and keep running the instructions until either (A) they can't go any further or (B) an interrupt signal is sensed. After the interrupt signal is sensed, the computer either resumes running the program it was running or begins running another program

Answer / imrana
os is interrupt driven software this means that if there is no interrupt then the system will be die

Answer / banavathvishnu
There are 3 types of OS
1. Interrupt driven
2. Polling
3. Event driven
In Interrupt driven OS CPU clock is handed over to
Interrupt only when the interrupt is occured.
In Polling, CPU clock should wait until an event is occured
is very expencise wrt to CPU clock.

Explain what are the different data types in c?
please help me..... please codes and flowchart plz turbo c lang po yan.....please asap response... 3. Make an astrology program. The user types in his or her birthday (month, day, and year as integer), and the program responds with the user’s zodiac sign, horoscope, and other information related to it. If the user’s birth year falls into a leap year, your program should display an appropriate message for it. NOTES: Conditional Statements: it should be with graphics

WHICH TYPE OF JOBS WE GET BY WRITING GROUPS .WHEN THE EXAMS CONDUCTED IS THIS EXAMS ARE CONDUCTED EVERY YEAR OR NOT.PLS TELL ME THE ANSWER
A set of N billiard balls are set on a one-dimensional table. The table is 1 meter long, set north-south with two pockets at either side. Each ball has zero width and there is no friction so it is moving with a fixed velocity of either northward or southward and bounces back in a perfect elastic collision from other balls it encounter on its way (or drop into one of the pockets). Your job is to keep track of the balls movements. Task Please write a program that gets the initial place, speed and direction of all the balls and gives the position of a specific ball after t seconds. Input The first line contains the number of scenarios. Each one of the other lines in the input contains a scenario: The first number, N, is the number of balls; followed by N pairs of numbers: the distance in centimeters from the south end of the table and the speed (positive speed meaning it moves northward); the last two numbers are the number i of the target ball you should track and the time T in seconds. Output The output is a single number for each line which is the place (distance in centimeters from the south end of the table) of the tracked ball after T seconds. Note: There is no new line character at the end of the result. Sample Input 5 1 50 1 1 1000 1 50 1 1 6 1 60 -2 1 6 2 10 1 95 -1 2 30 2 10 1 95 -1 2 60 Sample Output 100 56 48 65 70
