A type of file organization that stores data in the order of their arrival is called
Indexed-sequential file organization
Hashed file organization
Random file organization
Sequential file organization
Correct answer is D
A type of file organization that stores data in the order of their arrival is called sequential file organization.
In sequential file organization, records are stored in the order in which they are added to the file. This means that the first record in the file is the oldest record, and the last record in the file is the newest record.
Sequential file organization is a simple and efficient way to store data that is accessed in a sequential order. For example, sequential file organization is often used to store data that is logged in chronological order.
However, sequential file organization can be inefficient for accessing data in a random order. For example, if you want to access the 10th record in a sequential file, you have to read the first 9 records before you can access the 10th record.
The Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine were invented by
Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage
Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal and Ada Lovelace
Charles Babbage
Correct answer is D
The Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine were invented by Charles Babbage.
Blaise Pascal invented the first mechanical calculator, the Pascaline, in the 17th century. However, the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine were much more sophisticated machines that could perform a wider range of calculations.
Babbage began work on the Difference Engine in the early 1820s. It was a mechanical calculator that could be used to tabulate polynomial functions. The Difference Engine was never completed, but Babbage did build a small prototype.
In the 1830s, Babbage began work on the Analytical Engine. The Analytical Engine was a much more ambitious project than the Difference Engine. It was a general-purpose computer that could be programmed to perform any calculation. The Analytical Engine was never built, but Babbage's design is considered to be the first blueprint for a modern computer.
Ada Lovelace, the daughter of poet Lord Byron, was a collaborator of Babbage's. She is credited with writing the first computer program, which was for the Analytical Engine.
The Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine were revolutionary machines that laid the foundation for the development of modern computers.
