Computer Science

I am senior in biology, chose to get a second bachelors in CS. the way the credits worked out is that I have 59 credits left to graduate with the computer science bachelors. with about 45ish of those credits being from core CS and programming. is it possible to attempt to complete a CS degree in 4 semesters? with no knowledge of programming (been doing online tutorial with java a bit for 2 months now) I ask this because I know normally people stretch the CS courses over the span of 4 years, but with my situation all that's left is the CS classes to get my bs. also how does hiring look like? is it hard for someone who got the degree in 2 years to find…

i m trying to make a program for finding the number is prime or not in c++ with or without using fnctions

I want to make an programme in c++ (Using Functions) to find the area of squre but i m not able to make it so can someone help me giving some hints my coading for function is int area(int m) int i,area; area=i*i; return(area) } but i m getting error that 1-i is assigned to value that is never used 2-m is assigned to a value that is never used

I recently acquired two AT&T micro SIM cards from family members trading in old iPhones and I'd love to use them as a way to learn something new computer science-wise. I'm a high school senior with experience in Java and Obj-C, but I haven't had much experience working with coding for external hardware, which is why I thought this could be a good opportunity to try some stuff out. Does anyone have any ideas for projects or hacks that I could try, or any good resources I should look to? Thanks

I've been asked to solve a problem on MIPS: Suppose there are only 4 registers in the register file of the MIPS datapath (instead of 32 registers) requiring only 2 bits to specify a register number. Show the detailed logic circuit of the register file as to how it reads and writes specified data. Can anyone help me on how to implement the logic circuit for the register file?

Can someone please give me tutorial on vb and where can i download VB 6.0 please do not suggest to google it since i tried but no use so googling wont be appriciated http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/81332-fight-with-teacher/ see this too

You might say I'm the guy who caught on last, but I have to confirm this with the experienced souls out there to check if I'm on the right track. I've always been confused about binary representations of strings. For example. I have never understood why the string "OR" where ASCII character O = 15 and R = 18 in binary. So if I want to represent this string in 5 bits I always thought you would have to to this. 01111 10010 for O and R respectively. Can you imagine the space required if I'm building a computer . I've just realized that bitwise operation OR as in 'O' OR 'R' gives me the correct 5 bit representation of the string "OR" because 'O' or '…

I just had a Systems Architecture exam and this was really bugging me, can anyone confirm the answer? I put CISC but I'm now thinking I was wrong...

Is C++ a relevant coding language for today's computer science? I've been doing C++ since I was in middle school, for gaming at first. Though, in college I decided to study the natural sciences instead of computer science. So I'm just wandering, is C++ a relevant coding language today as it was back like maybe 5 or 6 years ago.

I am trying to join this forum, because they have a wealth of information. I can't make an account because the human identification picture isn't working. Does it work for anyone else: http://www.cplusplus.com/user/access.cgi?w=signup Thanks for reading

Hey guy, I learn to exam in IP, well I have one question: http://www.cis.rit.edu/class/simg782/( the question is in Final-Exam 3 q3) You have the job of designing an algorithm that will count the number of objects with holes and the number of objects without holes in images of the kind shown here. Assume that the images are binary with 0 corresponding to black and 1 corresponding to white. The imaging system is of low quality and produces images that are corrupted with salt and pepper noise. The objects do not overlap or touch, but may be close to each other in any direction. They may be of any shape or size. The algorithm should not be confused by …

For a school project, I need to think up some (hopefully easy) ways to compress (and decompress) images. I have looked at JPEG's algorithm, but it seems like much too much work to implement. This is just an assignment, so I was trying to think of algorithms that would be easier to implement in Matlab. Lately, I have been trying to compress a grayscale image by transforming it into frequency space with a Fourier Transform. Then I would examine each value of the transformed matrix and, if the value was small enough, I would just set it zero. I would then use run-length-encoding to pack all the zeroes. However, when I decoded (i.e. unpacked and transformed back to pixel …

I've been having fun playing around with very basic genetic programming. The simplest example is just trying to get from point A to point B across a bounded 2D space, as shown at http://ken.coar.org/images/basic-ga.png (the = in the left edge to the = in the right edge). In the example, the fitness value is based on the Euclidean distance between the target and the position of the last expressed gene. Since I have a broader perspective than the program, I can see places where tweaks might be possible. For example: assessing a slight penalty for each allele that, without cause (such as avoiding an obstacle), increases the Euclidean distance to the target over that …

Following an automatic update to IE 11 I found the Quote and MultiQuote functions didn't work. Upon reverting back to IE 10 they now work okay. Searching the internet it seems a not uncommon consequence of IE 11.

I have a paper in WORLDCOMP and recently I learned new information about it at http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 The organizer of this conference used University of Georgia affiliation with his name and I thought it is good. I am finishing my masters degree and wish to do a Ph.D. Few schools rejected my application stating that my publication is in a junk conference. What happens to my career?

Hi everyone I have a Canon Pixma MP160 3 in 1 printer, and it is about to get me mentally disturbed: since yesterday, the paper won't come through (only a small corner of the paper) and thus the printer gave me an E3 error (paper stuck). Now, I discovered I had a USB-stick 'flown' in the paper container part which prevented the paper from flowing through. So now, the paper will come through correctly. "Yay", you'd say, but nothing is less true.. The printer is.. well.. 'stuck' on the E3-mode, and I can't get it 'out' of it; I've tried the program MPTool, but this won't do anything (it recognises the printer, but won't load the information, since the printer …

Hello everyone, I am trying to configure NFS in my virtual machine. The problem is that i have client and server in the same machine and i put the same IP for both to mount a file. but i can't mount it because I get an error mount.nfs:Connection time out. I am working with Ubuntu. Can anyone help me with this, What can be wrong? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I posted in the mathematics forum about a strange truth value I found in Russell's paradox, the liar paradox, Cantor's diagonal argument, the Grelling-Nelson paradox, the crocodile dilemma, a problem related to the halting problem I came up with, and Berry's paradox: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/79642-strange-behavior-in-the-liar-paradox-russells-paradox-cantors-diagonal-argument-and-more-problems/ . I had thought I was saying something new about the liar paradox and Russell's paradox, but maybe what I am saying about those problems is not new. I thought I might have found something new about some of the other problems, though, including the halti…

I'm doing a legacy build using either Phenom X4 9850 (95w) or 9750 (95w), with one of these boards: GA-MA770-UD3 GA-MA770-DS3P GA-MA790X-UD4 GA-MA790X-UD4P GA-MA790FX-DS5 GA-MA790FX-UD5P So I'm looking over the specs on the Gigabyte site, and each time I see something cryptic, for example, the specs for GA-MA770-DS3P says "Whether 1066MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used." Question is how do I determine whether or not this board will run 1066MHz with either CPU chosen? I've looked at the specs for the board & compared it to the specs of both CPUs, and everything looks fine. I've looked over the memory support list for this board, and ever…

hi all,my computer is shutting down by itself when working on its battery.But when i started it with cable it is ok.after five minutes I can plug out the cable and can work on battery.what is the problem.Is it about the battery or i should reinstall my operating system?Do you have any idea?Can it be related with registry?

How do you define Computer science? Is there any definition. Let we start from the following definition (if you wish): Computer Science is the science of Algorithm, machine and effieciency, and the relations among these three subjects(1 plus 2 is Theoretical Computer Science), besides its vast applications in different branches of science as: (a very large list)... (The third is Applied Computer Science). The agendas are:1. "Various types of Computation" and making models for Mind and brain abilities. What are the possible flaws of this definition? How do you define Computer science? Is there any definition. Let we start from the following defin…

I have filled in the answers to the questions into the table at the bottom but I have no clue if they are correct. I think they are but I could be way off. I have a logical reason for getting the answer I got but that doesn't mean I am right. I am clueless about networking and it doesn't help that my notes are shit. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi guys I have this question I do not understand? Which of the following is NOT an advantage of CISC architecture? A. Specialist instructions to aid the programmer in common tasks B. Rich variety of addressing modes to aid the programmer C. Variable instruction lengths to optimise code density D. Fixed length, regular format instructions F. Specialist instructions that can be optimised in hardware Thank you in advance!!!

So, lets say i had windows xp source code and was able to compile it. Lets also say i dropped a keylogger in there and also a backdoor to do as i wish. What would be able to detect a kernel level program? one thats specifically embedded in the system from code to ISO. You know exactly what im saying, how do we trust our vendors and especially vendors hiding their code?? And for blackmarket software, how can we reverse engineer such a programming. Hex editing? Line by line? what about code obscurity?
