File Name Extensions ppt- Microsoft PowerPoint format
A filename extension is a suffix to the
name of a computer file. File extension is
usually three, four or more characters at
the end of computer file names divided
by a dot. Extensions tell the computer
which application created or can open
the file and which icon to use for the file.
There is no file extension limit as long as
the file path, name, and extension
combined do not exceed the maximum
file name character limit of the operating
system.
A file extension can be removed by
renaming a file.
There are thousands of file extensions
associated with one or more
applications.

Domain Name Extensions
A domain extension is the combination
of characters following the period in a
web address. Domain name extensions
are the last part of a domain name. For
example, in 'ssccglpinnacle.com,' the
domain name extension is .com.
A top-level domain (TLD) is the rightmost
segment of a domain name, located after
the last dot.
The concept of TLDs was created by
ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects
Agency Network) in the 1960s with the
goal of easing the process of
memorizing IP addresses.
The ICANN (The Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers)
classifies top-level domains into different
categories depending on the site’s
purpose, owner and geographic location.
Types of Domains
Generic Top-level Domains (gTLD)
Generic top-level domains, commonly
known as gTLD, are the most popular
and familiar types of domain extensions.
The most common usages of generic
top-level domains include:
.com - It is for commercial sites.
.net - It is for networks.
.info- It is for information platforms.
.biz- It is for businesses.
.org - It is for organizations.
Sponsored Top-level Domains
(sTLD)

proposed and supervised by private
organizations.
Some of the most popular sTLDs are:
.edu- It is for higher educational
institutions.
.gov- It is for United States governmental
agencies.
.cat- It is for Catalan linguistic and
cultural community.

TLD: the Address and Routing Parameter
Area (ARPA). The .arpa domain extension
is managed directly by the IANA for the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Test Top-Level Domains (tTLD)
Test top-level domains are reserved for
documentation purposes and local
testing, and cannot be installed into the
root zone of the domain name system.
There are four tTLDs:
.example - It is for place holding.
.invalid - It is for invalid domain names.
.localhost - It is for usage in local
networks.
.test- It is for testing purposes
Below are some other popular
domain names:

Input Devices
Computer input devices serve as an
interface between the outside world and
the computer for proper communication.
An input device is generally a piece of
equipment that sends information to a
primary device. Input devices enable the
user to send data, information, or control
signals to a computer.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a
computer receives the input and
processes it to produce the output.
Important Input Devices which are
used in a Computer
1. Mouse - A computer mouse is a
handheld hardware input device that
controls a cursor in a GUI (Graphical User
Interface) for pointing, moving and
selecting text, icons, files, and folders on
your computer.
2. Keyboard- A keyboard is for putting
information including letters, words and
numbers into your computer.
3. Joystick - A joystick is an input device
that can be used for controlling the
movement of the cursor or a pointer in a
computer device.
4. Light Pen - A light pen is a computer
input device in the form of a
light-sensitive wand used in conjunction
with a computer's cathode-ray tube (CRT)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is
the process that converts an image of
text into a machine-readable text format.
Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) is
an extended technology of Optical
Character Recognition.
9. Barcode Reader -A barcode reader (or
barcode scanner) is an optical scanner
that can read printed barcodes, decode
the data contained in the barcode and
send the data to a computer.

Central Processing Units (CPU)
The computer's central processing unit
(CPU) is the portion of a computer that
retrieves and executes instructions. The
CPU is the brain of the computer. A
central processing unit (CPU), also called
a central processor, main processor or
just processor, is the electronic circuitry
that executes instructions comprising a
computer program. CPUs can only carry
out one instruction at a time.
There are three main types of CPU.
Transistor Type CPU - A CPU transistor is
a simple electronic device that alters the
flow of electrical current.
Large Scale Integration type CPU -
Large-scale integration (LSI) is the
process of integrating or embedding
thousands of transistors on a single
silicon semiconductor microchip.
Small Scale Integration type CPU - The
first integrated circuits contained only a
few transistors and so were called “Small
-Scale Integration (SSI).
Operations in CPU
Fetch - Fetch involves retrieving an
instruction (which is represented by a
number or sequence of numbers) from
program memory.
Decode - The instruction that the CPU
fetches from memory determines what
the CPU will do.
Execute - After the fetch and decode
steps, the execute step is performed.
Depending on the CPU architecture, this
may consist of a single action or a
sequence of actions.
Components of CPU
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
1. Control Unit (CU) - It fetches, decodes
and executes instructions. It issues cess
signals that control hardware.
2. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)- It
performs arithmetic and logical
operations (decision). It acts as a
gateway between primary memory and
secondary storage .
3. Registers - Registers are small
amounts of high-speed memory
contained within the CPU. A processor
register is a quickly accessible location
available to a computer's processor.
Registers usually consist of a small
amount of fast storage, although some
registers have specific hardware
functions, and may be read-only or
write-only.
Types of Registers
Program Counter, memory data register
(MDR), memory address register (MAR),
accumulator (ACC), and current
instruction register (CIR).
Program Counter - Program Counter
(PC) is used to keep the track of the
execution of the program.
Memory Address Register (MAR)- It
holds the address of the location to be
accessed from memory. MAR and MDR
(Memory Data Register) together
facilitate the communication of the CPU
and the main memory.
Memory Data Registers (MDR) - A
memory data register or memory buffer
register is the register in a computer's
CPU that stores the data being
transferred to and from the immediate
access storage.
Accumulator - An accumulator is a type
of register for short-term, intermediate
storage of arithmetic and logic data in a
computer's central processing unit
(CPU).
Current Instruction Register (CIR) - In
computing, the instruction register (IR) or
current instruction register (CIR) is the
part of a CPU's control unit that holds the
instruction currently being executed or
decoded.
4. Cache - Cache is a small amount of
high-speed random access memory
(RAM) built directly within the processor.

control signals and data between the
processor and other components. It is a
high-speed internal connection.
Types of Buses
Data Bus - It carries actual data between
the processor and other components.
Control bus- It carries control signals
from the processor to other
components.
Address Bus - It carries memory
addresses from the processor to other
components such as primary memory
and input/output devices.
6. Clock - The CPU contains a clock
which is used to coordinate all of the
computer's components.
Motherboard - The motherboard is at the
center of what makes a PC work. It
houses the CPU and is a hub that all
other hardware runs through. The
motherboard acts as a brain; allocating
power where it’s needed, communicating
with and coordinating across all other
components – Which makes it the most
important part of the computer's
hardware.
The frequency of the pulses is known as
the clock speed. Clock speed is
measured in hertz.
Processor
The processor is a chip or a logical
circuit that responds to and processes
the basic instructions to drive a
particular computer. The main functions
of the processor are fetching, decoding,
executing, and writing back the
operations of an instruction.

Primary Memory
Computer memory is the storage space
in the computer, where data is to be
processed and instructions required for
processing are stored.
Primary Memory- Primary memory is
also known as main memory or may also
refer to “Internal memory.” and primary
storage. Primary memory is computer
memory that a processor or computer
accesses first or directly. It stores and
retrieves data, instructions, and
information.
Random Access Memory(RAM)
Random-access memory is a form of
computer memory that can be read and
changed in any order, typically used to
store working data and machine code.
It's called random access because the
data can be quickly read and modified in
any order.
Types of RAM
SRAM (Static RAM) - SRAM (static RAM)
is a type of random access memory
(RAM) that retains data bits in its
memory as long as power is being
supplied. Static random-access memory
is a type of random-access memory
(RAM) that uses latching circuitry
(flip-flop) to store each bit.
DRAM (Dynamic Ram) - Dynamic
random-access memory (dynamic RAM
or DRAM) is a type of random-access
semiconductor memory that stores each
bit of data in a memory cell, usually
consisting of a tiny capacitor and a
transistor, both typically based on metal -
oxide -semiconductor (MOS) technology.
Read Only Memory (ROM) - Read-only
memory (ROM) is a type of storage
medium that permanently stores data on
personal computers (PCs) and other
electronic devices.
Types of ROM
MROM - Masked ROM is
pre-programmed and hardwired ROM.
Any text that has already been written
cannot be changed in any way.
PROM - A programmable read-only
memory (PROM) is a form of digital
memory where the contents can be
changed once after manufacturing of the
device.
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
EPROM- EPROM, in full erasable
programmable read-only memory, a form
of computer memory that does not lose
its content when the power supply is cut
off and that can be erased and reused.
EEPROM - EEPROM (electrically erasable
programmable read-only memory) is
user-modifiable read-only memory (ROM)
that allows users to erase and reprogram
stored data repeatedly in an application.
Volatile memory, in contrast to non
-volatile memory, is computer memory
that requires power to maintain the
stored information; it retains its contents
while powered on but when the power is
interrupted, the stored data is quickly
lost. Examples RAM, Cache, Registers
etc
Non-volatile memory or non-volatile
storage is a type of computer memory
that can retain stored information even
after power is removed. Examples: ROM,
EPROM, EEPROM, Flash memory (e.g.,
NOR and NAND flash memory and
solid-state drives (SSD), Magnetic
storage devices (e.g., hard disks,
magnetic tape, floppy disks, etc.)
Primary memory is considered faster
than secondary memory.
The Primary Memory access times are
typically in microseconds, whereas the
CPU can do operations in nanoseconds.
Cache Memory is a special very
high-speed memory. It is used to speed
up and synchronize with high-speed
CPUs.

Secondary Memory
Secondary memory is computer memory
that is non-volatile and persistent in
nature and is not directly accessed by a
computer/processor.
Types of Secondary Memory
Magnetic Storage- Magnetic storage or
magnetic recording is the storage of data
on a magnetized medium. Examples are
magnetic tape, floppy disks and
hard-disk drives.
Optical Storage - Optical storage is any
storage type in which data is written and
read with a laser. Examples Optical
Storage are compact disk read-only
memory (CD-ROM), digital versatile disk
read-only memory (DVD-ROM), digital
versatile disk random access memory
(DVD-RAM), write-once read-many
(WORM) cartridges, erasable optical
cartridges, and Removable Mass Storage
(RMS) media which are removable disk
(RDX) and flash drives.
Flash Memory - Flash memory is an
electronic non-volatile computer memory
storage medium that can be electrically
erased and reprogrammed. Examples are
USB drives (also called thumb drives and
flash drives), Memory cards.
Fixed Storage - Fixed storage is
sometimes known as hard drives or the
fixed disc drives. Examples include Hard
disk drives (HDD), SSD (solid-state disk),
Internal flash memory (rare).
Removable Storage- Removable storage
refers to an external media device that is
mainly used to store data on a computer
system in secondary memory. Examples
include Optical discs (such as DVDs,
CDs, Blu-ray discs, etc.), Floppy disks,
Memory cards, Disk packs, Magnetic
tapes,Paper storage (such as punched
cards, punched tapes, etc.)
Secondary Memory is non-volatile, i.e. it
retains data when power is switched off
It has large capacities to the tune of
terabytes.
Cycle time - Cycle time is the time,
usually measured in nanoseconds,
between the start of one random access
memory ( RAM ) access to the time when
the next access can be started.
Access Time - Access time is the time
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
that elapsed between the initiation of
operations and the completion of
operation.
Rotational latency - Rotational latency is
the delay waiting for the rotation of the
disk to bring the required disk sector
under the read-write head. The disk is
divided into many circular tracks, and
these tracks are further divided into
blocks known as sectors.
Latency Time - Latency is the measure
of delay . Disk latency refers to the time
delay between a request for data and the
return of the data.
An optical disk is any computer disk that
uses optical storage techniques and
technology to read and write data.
Examples: CDs , DVDs, Blu-ray discs.

Firewall
In computing, a firewall is a network
security system that monitors and
controls incoming and outgoing network
traffic based on predetermined security
rules. A firewall is software or firmware
that prevents unauthorized access to a
network. A firewall is a computer network
security system that restricts internet
traffic in, out, or within a private network.
Five Features of Firewall
Unified Security Management, Threat
Prevention, Application and Identity-
Based Inspection, Hybrid Cloud Support,
Scalable Performance.
The 5 different types of firewalls
Packet filtering firewall - Packet filter
firewall controls access to packets on
the basis of packet source and
destination address or specific transport
protocol type. A packet filtering firewall is
a network security feature that controls
the flow of incoming and outgoing
network data.
Application-level gateway - An
application gateway or application level
gateway (ALG) is a firewall proxy which
provides network security. It filters
incoming node traffic to certain
specifications which mean that only
transmitted network application data is
filtered. Such network applications
include File Transfer Protocol (FTP),
Telnet, Real Time Streaming Protocol
(RTSP).
Circuit-level gateway- A circuit-level
gateway is a type of firewall. Circuit-level
gateways work at the session layer of the
OSI model, or as a "shim-layer" between
the application layer and the transport
layer of the TCP/IP stack.
Stateful inspection firewall -Stateful
Inspection Firewall – a technology that
controls the flow of traffic between two
or more networks.
Next-generation firewall (NGFW) - A
next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a
network security device that provides
capabilities beyond a traditional, stateful
firewall.
Software Firewall - Software firewall is a
firewall that is installed on a computer or

Antivirus Software
Antivirus software also known as
anti-malware, is a computer program
used to prevent, detect, and remove
malware.
Antivirus programs and computer
protection software are designed to
evaluate data such as web pages, files,
software and applications to help find
and eradicate malware as quickly as
possible.
Antivirus software begins operating by
checking your computer programs and
files against a database of known types
of malware.
Types of Antivirus Software
Cloud based Software - Cloud-based
antivirus solutions are those that store
information about malware variants in
the cloud, rather than on a user's device.
Webroot is one of the earliest
cloud-based antivirus solutions available
for personal use.
Examples are Malwarebytes, Sophos
Endpoint Protection, ESET Protect Entry,
Avast Cloudcare, Kaspersky Security
Cloud, Bitdefender, Avira, McAfee, Panda
Antivirus.
Standalone Software - Standalone
antivirus software is a specialized tool
designed to detect and remove certain
viruses. Examples Avast Rescue Disk,

of an antivirus program from G Data
Software for the Atari ST.
In 1987, in the United States, John
McAfee founded the McAfee company
(was part of Intel Security) and, at the
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
end of that year, he released the first
version of VirusScan.
The main components of an antivirus
solution are the virus definitions, which
are used to identify and remove viruses;
the scanner, which scans files and
programs for viruses; and the quarantine,
which is used to isolate infected files and
programs.

Orientation in MS Word
Page Orientation refers to the direction
in which a document is displayed. It is
used when we print our pages.
It is of two types:-
Portrait (vertical) - Portrait orientation
refers to the vertical design or layout of
an image, document, or device. Image
will have a more restricted and limited
feeling. Focus will be totally on the
subject.
Landscape (horizontal) - Landscape
refers to the horizontal camera
orientation used in photographing.
Landscape orientation is frequently used
to capture natural landscapes. Image will
look more spacious. Main element will
lose its focus.
The reason for this is that it will ensure
consistency in the appearance of the
documents.
The default orientation is Portrait but we
can change it to landscape.
Most Monitors have a landscape display
while most documents are printed in
portrait mode.
Where will we find the menu of

networks involve millions of machines
connected in a network. This network
architecture is designed to be
decentralized and distributed.
Client/Server network - A client-server
network is the medium through which
clients access resources and services
from a central computer, via either a local
area network (LAN) or a wide-area
network (WAN), such as the Internet.
Components of Computer Networks
NIC - The network interface card (NIC) or
network card is the hardware device
most essential to establishing
communication between computers.
Switch- A network switch connects
devices within a network (often a local
area network, or LAN) and forwards data
packets to and from those devices.
Cable - Cable is a transmission media
used for transmitting a signal. There are
three types of cables i.e Coaxial cable,
Twisted pair cable, Fibre - optic cable.
Hub- A network hub is a node that
broadcasts data to every computer or

purpose of private networks where data
is protected, and resources are shared.
Virtual Local Area Network- A VLAN
allows a network of computers and users
to communicate in a simulated
environment as if they exist in a single
LAN and are sharing a single broadcast
and multicast domain.
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)-
WLAN stands for Wireless Local Area
Network. WLAN is a wireless network
that allows devices to associate and
communicate wirelessly.
Storage Area Network-A storage area
network or storage network is a
computer network that provides access
to consolidated, block-level data storage.
System Area Network - A system area
network (SAN) is a high-performance,
connection-oriented network that can
link a cluster of computers.
OSI Model
Download Pinnacle Exam Preparation App
Computer Knowledge
The OSI ( Open Systems Interconnection)
model describes seven layers that
computer systems use to communicate
over a network. OSI was introduced in
1983 by representatives of the major
computer and telecom companies, and
was adopted by ISO as an international
standard in 1984.
OSI Model has 7 layers
1. Physical Layer -The physical layer
defines the relationship between a device
and a transmission medium, such as a
copper or optical cable. Examples:
Ethernet cable or Serial Cable.
2. Data Link Layer - The Data-link layer is
the second layer from the bottom in the
OSI (Open System Interconnection)
network architecture model. Examples:
MAC, switches etc.
3. Network Layer- The network layer
works for the transmission of data from
one host to the other located in different
networks. The network layer is
considered the backbone of the OSI
Model. Examples: IP, routers etc.
4. Transport Layer- Transport Layer
provides transparent transfer of data
between end users, providing reliable
data transfer services to the upper
layers. Examples: TCP, UDP, port numbers
5. Session Layer - The session layer is
responsible for establishing, managing,
synchronizing, and terminating sessions
between end-user application processes.
Examples: Syn/Ack, AppleTalk, and Zone
Information Protocol (ZIP).
6. Presentation Layer - The presentation
layer ensures that the message is
presented to the upper layer in a
standardized format. Examples:
encryption, ASCII, PNG, MIDI
7. Application Layer - The application
layer is actually an abstraction layer that
specifies the shared protocols and
interface methods used by hosts in a
communication network. Examples:
SNMP, HTTP, FTP.

Network Topology
A network topology is the physical and
logical arrangement of nodes and
connections in a network.
Types of Network Topology
Logical Topology - A logical topology is a
concept in networking that defines the
architecture of the communication
mechanism for all nodes in a network.
The two logical topologies are broadcast
(also known as bus) and sequential (also
known as ring). There is no interference
and manipulation involved here.
Physical Topology - Physical topology
refers to the interconnected structure of
a local area network (LAN).
There are seven types of physical
topology.
Point to Point Topology - A point- to-
point topology is any network that
connects two hosts in a dedicated
fashion. An example is a telephone call.
Bus Topology - A bus network is a
network topology in which nodes are
directly connected to a common
half-duplex link called a bus. A host on a
bus network is called a station. A bus
topology connects computers along a
single or more cable to connect linearly.
Ethernet networks also use a bus
topology. The main concepts covered in
the bus topology mainly include
backbone cable, terminator, drop link,
and node. An example of bus topology is
connecting two floors through a single
line. Bus topology requires multipoint.
Star Topology - A star network is an
implementation of a spoke–hub
distribution paradigm in computer
networks. In a star network, every host is
connected to a central hub. The star
topology reduces the impact of a
transmission line failure by
independently connecting each host to
the hub. Star topology is used in Banks,
Airports, Hospitals and Educational
Institutions. The cable and ports required
for a star topology are ten and five.
Star topology requires a hub.
Ring Topology- A ring topology is a
network configuration where device
connections create a circular data path.
A ring topology consists of all computers
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
and other devices that are connected in a
loop. Ring topology is used in WAN
(Wider Area Network) and MAN
(Metropolitan Area Network).
Mesh Topology- Mesh topology is a type
of networking where all nodes cooperate
to distribute data amongst each other. It
is a type of networking in which all the
computers are interconnected to each
other. A mesh topology has multiple
connections, making it the most fault
tolerant topology available. Examples
Google Home, Google Wifi, Google Hub,
Data Centric Fabric, Z-Wave, Zigbee etc.
In a mesh topology there is minimal
traffic.
Tree Topology - A tree topology is a
special type of structure where many
connected elements are arranged like the
branches of a tree. A tree topology, or
star-bus topology, is a hybrid network
topology in which star networks are
interconnected via bus networks.
Example: Big university campuses,
hospitals etc.
Hybrid Topology - Hybrid topology is an
interconnection of two or more basic
network topologies, each of which
contains its own nodes. A hybrid
topology is a kind of combination of
principles of two or more different
networking topologies.
There are various sectors where the
hybrid topology is widely used, such as
many educational institutions, banking
sector, automated industries, financial
sector etc

Data Transmission in Computer
Networks
Data transmission is the transfer of data
from one digital device to another. Data
transmission refers to the movement of
data in the form of bits between two or
more digital devices. Buses and
networks are designed to allow
communication to occur between
individual devices that are
interconnected.
Types of Data Transmission Mode
1. Simplex Mode - In simplex
transmission mode, the communication
between sender and receiver occurs in
only one direction. The transmitter and
the receiver operate on the same
frequency. Examples are keyboard,
Monitor, Radio etc. A device can only
send the data but cannot receive it or it
can only receive the data but cannot
send it. In simplex mode, the
communication is unidirectional.
2. Half Duplex Mode- In half-duplex
mode, Sender can send the data and also
can receive the data one at a time. It is
two-way directional communication but
one at a time. An example of a
half-duplex device is a walkie-talkie, a
two-way radio that has a push-to-talk
button. Both the devices can send and
receive the data, but one at a time. In
half-duplex mode, the communication is
bidirectional, but one at a time.
3. Full Duplex Mode- In full duplex
transmission mode, the communication
between sender and receiver can occur
simultaneously. The sender and receiver
can both transmit and receive at the
same time. Example is the telephone
network. Both the devices can send and
receive the data simultaneously. In
full-duplex mode, the communication is
bidirectional.

IP Address
An IP address is a unique address that
identifies a device on the internet or a
local network. IP stands for "Internet
Protocol," which is the set of rules
governing the format of data sent via the
internet or local network.
An IP address is a string of numbers
separated by periods.
IP addresses are expressed as a set of
four numbers. Example: 192.157.1.32.
Each number in the set can range from 0
to 255.
The full IP addressing range goes from
0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.
Type of IP Address
Consumer IP Addresses - A customer IP
address is a numerical identifier
assigned to a device connected to the
internet.
Private IP Addresses- A private IP
address is a range of non-internet facing
IP addresses used in an internal network.
A private IP address is the address your
network router assigns to your device.
Example: 10.11.12.13. The Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has
assigned several address ranges to be
used by private networks.
Private Address Range
Class A: 10.0. 0.0 to 10.255. 255.255.
Class B: 172.16. 0.0 to 172.31. 255.255.
ClassC:192.168. 0.0 to 192.168. 255.255.
Public IP Address- A public IP address is
an IP address that can be accessed
directly over the internet and is assigned
to your network router by your internet
service provider (ISP). Example: 8.8.8.8
Dynamic IP addresses- A dynamic IP
address is an IP address that changes
from time to time unlike a static IP
address. So, for example, a hotel
probably has a static IP address, but
each individual device within its rooms
would have a dynamic IP address.
Static IP addresses- A static IP address
is a 32 bit number assigned to a
computer as an address on the internet.
There are two types of website IP
addresses
Shared IP addresses - A shared IP
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
address means that several companies
or email senders are using the same IP
within one mail server. The website
“ssccgl.com” along with “ssccgl.uk”
would both be assigned the IP address of
123.123. 12.2.
Dedicated IP addresses - A dedicated IP
address is the permanent assignment of
a single and unchanging Internet
Protocol (IP) address for a website or
network's TCP/IP node.
IPv4
➨IPv4 is an IP version widely used to
identify devices on a network using an
addressing system.
➨It was the first version of IP deployed
for production in the ARPANET in 1983.
➨ It is a connectionless protocol.
➨ It is a 32 - Bit IP address.
➨ It supports broadcasting.
➨ It has checksum fields.
➨ It is a numeric addressing method.
➨ Its binary bits are separated by a
dot(.). It offers 12 header fields.
➨ Length of the header field is 20.
➨ It supports VLSM (Variable Length
Subnet Mask).
➨It uses ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) to map to MAC addresses.
Example 125.255.255.255.
IPV6
➨IPv6 or Internet Protocol Version 6 is a
network layer protocol that allows
communication to take place over the
network.
➨IPV6 one of the features is Hierarchical
addressing and routing infrastructure.
IPv6 is a 128-Bit IP address.
➨It is an alphanumeric addressing
method.
➨Its binary bits are separated by a
colon(:).
➨It offers 8 header fields.
➨ Length of the header field is 40.
➨ It doesn’t support broadcasts.
➨It doesn’t have checksum fields.
➨It doesn’t support VLSM.
➨It uses NDP (Neighbour Discovery
Protocol) to map to MAC addresses.
Examples:2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:666
6:7777 : 8888.
Domain Name System (DNS)

Features of Internet
The Internet is the wider network that
allows computer networks across the
globe run by companies, governments,
universities, and other organizations to
talk to one another. The Internet is the
global system of interconnected
computer networks that uses the Internet
protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate
between networks and devices. It is the
world's largest collection of information,
containing everything from text, images,
and video to databases, software, and
scientific research.
The internet came in the year 1960 with
the creation of the first working model
called ARPANET (Advanced Research
Projects Agency).
Internet services were launched in India
on 15th August, 1995 by Videsh Sanchar
Nigam Limited.
Features of Internet
Accessibility, Flexibility, Connectivity,
Easy to Use, Security, Low Cost.
Uses of Internet
Online Banking & Trading, Research,
Social Networking, Online Booking &
Orders, Cashless Transactions
Education, Electronic Mail, Job Search.

organization. Intranet is limited and
available to few PCs(members who have
access) whereas the Internet is available
to all PCs and everybody has access.
Extranet - An extranet is a private
network similar to an intranet, but
typically open to external parties, such as
business partners, suppliers, key
customers, etc. An extranet is a
controlled private network that allows
access to partners, vendors and

Algorithms & Flowcharts
An algorithm is a procedure used for
solving a problem or performing a
computation.
Algorithms are widely used throughout
all areas of IT. In mathematics and
computer science, an algorithm usually
refers to a small procedure that solves a
recurrent problem.
Different Types of algorithm
Search Engine algorithm- A search
engine algorithm is a collection of
formulas that determines the quality and
relevance of a particular advertisement
or web page to the user's query.
Encryption algorithm- An encryption
algorithm is the method used to
transform data into ciphertext.
Greedy algorithm- An algorithm that
always takes the best immediate, or
local, solution while finding an answer.
Recursive algorithm- A recursive
algorithm calls itself with smaller input
values and returns the result for the
current input by carrying out basic
operations on the returned value for the
smaller input.
Backtracking algorithm- A backtracking
algorithm is a problem-solving algorithm
that uses a brute force approach for
finding the desired output.
Divide-and-conquer algorithm- In the
divide-and-conquer approach, the
problem in hand is divided into smaller
subproblems and then each problem is
solved independently.
Dynamic programming algorithm- This
algorithm solves problems by dividing
them into subproblems. The results are
then stored to be applied for future
corresponding problems.
Brute-force algorithm- The brute force
solution is simply to calculate the total
distance for every possible route and
then select the shortest one.
Sorting algorithm- A Sorting Algorithm is
used to rearrange a given array or list of
elements according to a comparison
operator on the elements.
Hashing algorithm- A hashing algorithm
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
is a mathematical function that garbles
data and makes it unreadable.
Randomized algorithm- An algorithm
that uses random numbers to decide
what to do next anywhere in its logic is
called a Randomized Algorithm.
Characteristics of Algorithms
Well-Defined Inputs, Well-Defined
outputs, Finiteness, Feasible, Language
Independent and clear and ambiguous.
Pseudocode - Pseudocode is an informal
way of programming description that
does not require any strict programming
language syntax or underlying
technology considerations. It is used for
creating an outline or a rough draft of a
program.
Flowcharts
A flowchart is a diagram that shows an
overview of a program . Flowcharts
normally use standard symbols to
represent the different types of
instructions . A flowchart is a diagram
depicting a process, a system or a
computer algorithm.
Symbols used in flowcharts

Types of flowcharts
Decision flowchart - A diagram that
helps make the decision between
alternative courses of action that will
lead to and effect a business decision.
Logic flowchart- A logic flowchart is
applied to uncover loopholes,
bottlenecks, or constraints in the process
which could cause disruptions or issues.
System flowchart- System flowcharts
are a way of displaying how data flows in
a system and how decisions are made to
control events.
Product flowchart- A product flow
diagram is a resource that makes it
possible to outline the sequence of
events that must occur during the
manufacturing of a product.
Process flowchart- A process flowchart
is a diagram that shows the sequential
steps of a process and the decisions
needed to make the process work.

web browser that can also accept certain
text commands. An Omnibox is similar to
the traditional web browser address bar,
but you can also use it like a search
engine. Google Chrome was the first web
browser to implement Omnibox.
UC Browser is a web browser that is
banned in India as this browser is
developed by the Chinese Company The
Alibaba Group.
Browsing in Incognito mode means your
activity data isn't saved on your device, or
to a Google Account you're not signed
into.

Programming Languages
A programming language is a computer
language programmers use to develop
software programs, scripts, or other sets
of instructions for computers to execute.
There are three types of programming
languages: machine language, assembly
language, and high-level language.
Machine Language - Machine language
is a low-level language made up of binary
numbers or bits that a computer can
understand. Examples: The ASCII code
01000001 represents the letter "A" in
machine language.
Assembly language - An assembly
language is a type of low-level
programming language that is intended
to communicate directly with a
computer's hardware.
High-level languages - A high-level
programming language is a
programming language with strong
abstraction from the details of the
computer. Example: Python, Java, C++,
C#, Visual Basic, JavaScript etc.
5 major types of programming
languages
Procedural programming languages - A
procedural language is a computer
programming language that follows, in
order, a set of commands. Each series of
steps is called a procedure, and a
program written in one of these
languages will have one or more
procedures within it. For example- C and
C++, Java, Pascal, BASIC, FORTRAN,
ALGOL, COBOL, etc.
Functional programming languages -
Programming Languages that support
functional programming. Examples:-
Scala, Erlang, Haskell, Elixir, F#.
Object-oriented programming languages
Object-oriented programming is a
programming paradigm based on the
concept of "objects", which can contain
data and code: data in the form of fields,
and code, in the form of procedures.
Examples:- Java, C++, C#, Python, R, PHP,
Visual Basic.NET, JavaScript, Ruby, Perl,
etc.
Scripting languages - A scripting
language or script language is a
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
programming language that is used to
manipulate, customize, and automate the
facilities of an existing system.
Examples: JavaScript/ ECMAScript,
PHP, Python, Ruby, Groovy, Perl, Lua,
Bash, PowerShell, VBA, Emacs Lisp, GML,
etc.
Logic programming languages- Logic
programming is a type of computer
programming that is based on formal
logic rules. Examples: Prolog, Absys,
Datalog, Alma-0.
Front-End Languages - Front-end
languages are primarily concerned with
the ‘user’ aspect of the software.
Examples: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.
Back-end Languages - Back-end
languages deal with storage and
manipulation of the server side of the
software. Examples:- JavaScript, PHP,
Java, Python, Ruby, C#.
An interpreted language is a
programming language that is generally
interpreted, without compiling a program
into machine instructions. Examples:
Python, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, etc.
A compiled language is a programming
language where the source code is
translated into machine code and the
machine code is stored in a separate file.
Examples:- C, C++, C#, Rust, Erlang, etc.
Top 10 Programming Languages
Python- Python is an interpreted,
object-oriented, high-level programming
language with dynamic semantics.
Python is a computer programming
language often used to build websites
and software, automate tasks, and
conduct data analysis. It was designed
by Guido van Rossum. First appeared in
1991.
Java- Java is a multi-platform,
object-oriented, and network-centric
language that can be used as a platform
in itself. Java is a programming language
and computing platform first released by
Sun Microsystems in 1995. It was first
designed by James Gosling. First
appeared in 1995.

Database and its types
A database is an organized collection of
data stored and accessed electronically.
Databases can store data in the form of
tables depending upon the type of
database. Databases are able to store
vast numbers of records in an effective
manner.
There are five components of which a
database is divided into hardware,
software, data, procedures, and Data
Access languages.
DBMS (Database Management System) -
A database management system is a
software tool used to create and manage
one or more databases, offering an easy
way to create a database, update tables,
retrieve information, and enhance data.
Types of Databases
File-based Database- The systems that
are used to organize and maintain data
files are known as file-based data
systems. Examples:- Microsoft Excel,
Microsoft Access, FileMaker or
FileMaker Pro, Berkeley DB, and Borland
Reflex.
Relational Databases- A relational
database is a type of database that
stores and provides access to data
points that are related to one another.
Examples: Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle
Database, MySQL and IBM DB2.
Object-Oriented Databases - An object
database or object-oriented database is
a database management system in
which information is represented in the
form of objects as used in
object-oriented programming. Examples:
Smalltalk is used in GemStone, LISP is
used in Gbase, and COP is used in
Vbase.
Distributed Databases - A distributed
database is a database in which data is
stored across different physical
locations. Examples: Amazon SimpleDB,
Clusterpoint, FoundationDB, Apache
Ignite, Apache Cassandra, Apache
HBase, and Couchbase Server.
No SQL databases- NoSQL databases
are non-tabular databases and store data
differently than relational tables.
Examples: MongoDB, CouchDB,
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
CouchBase, Cassandra, HBase, Redis,
Riak, Neo4J, etc
Graph databases- A graph database
(GDB) is a database that uses graph
structures for semantic queries with
nodes, edges, and properties to
represent and store data. Examples:
Neo4j, ArangoDB, Amazon Neptune,
DataStax, Dgraph, FlockDB, OrientDB,
Titan.
Cloud Databases- A cloud database is a
database service built and accessed
through a cloud platform. Examples:
Amazon Web Service (AWS), Oracle
Database, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud
Platform, IBM DB2, MongoDB Atlas,
OpenStack etc
Hierarchical database- A hierarchical
database model is a data model in which
the data are organized into a tree-like
structure. Examples: The IBM
Information Management System (IMS)
and the RDM Mobile are examples of
hierarchical database systems.
Network database- A database
organized according to ownership of
records, allowing records to have
multiple owners and thus providing
multiple access paths to the data.
Examples: Raima Database Manager,
Univac DMS-1100, IDMS (Integrated
Database Management System),
TurboIMAGE, Integrated Data, Store
(IDS), etc.

Database Structure
Database structure: the building blocks
of a database. The data structure is a
storage that is used to store and
organize data.
There are two types of Data Structures
1. Linear Data Structure
2. Non-Linear Data Structure
Linear Data Structure -It is a type of data
structure where the arrangement of the
data follows a linear trend.
Queue - A queue is defined as a linear
data structure that is open at both ends
and the operations are performed in First
In First Out (FIFO) order. In a queue,
addition and removal are performed from
separate ends.
Types of Queue Data Structures
Simple Queue- It is the most basic queue
in which the insertion of an item is done
at the front of the queue and deletion
takes place at the end of the queue.
Circular Queue- A circular queue is a
special case of a simple queue in which
the last member is linked to the first.
Priority Queue- In a priority queue, the
nodes will have some predefined priority
in the priority queue. A Heap data
structure is best for implementing a
priority queue.
Double-Ended Queue (Deque)- In a
double-ended queue, insertion, and
deletion can take place at both the front
and rear ends of the queue.
Stack- Stack is a linear data structure
that follows a particular order in which
the operations are performed. In a stack,
operations can be performed only from
one end. Stack data structure is mainly
used for implementing the recursive
algorithm. A recursive function solves a
particular problem by calling a copy of
itself and solving smaller subproblems of
the original problems.
Array - An array is a random access data
structure, where each element can be
accessed directly and in constant time.
An array is a collection of items of the
same data type stored at contiguous
memory locations. An array type is a

Semiconductors in Computers
A semiconductor is a substance that has
specific electrical properties that enable
it to serve as a foundation for computers
and other electronic devices.
Common Examples are Silicon, Gallium
arsenide, and germanium.
Silicon is used in most semiconductors
for computer and electronic components,
as it is considered to be the best
semiconductor material.
Two Types of Semiconductor
N-type semiconductor - An N-type
semiconductor is a type of material used
in electronics. It is made by adding an
impurity to a pure semiconductor such
as silicon or germanium.
P-type semiconductor - A p-type
semiconductor is an intrinsic
semiconductor doped with boron (B) or
indium (In). An extrinsic semiconductor
which has been doped with electron
acceptor atoms is called a p-type
semiconductor, because the majority of
charge carriers in the crystal are positive
holes.
Semiconductor materials, such as silicon
and germanium, have properties that
make them ideal for computer chips, the
reason they are so crucial to computer
technology.
The first semiconductor used in
computers was the transistor.
Transistors were invented at Bell
Laboratories in 1947 by William Shockley,
Walter Brattain, and John Bardeen.
Types of Transistors
Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) -
Bipolar junction transistor is defined as a
device that has a three-terminal
semiconductor that is used as a
current-controlling device. It can be used
as an amplifier, filter, oscillator, rectifier,
or switch.
Field Effect Transistors ( FETs)-The
field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of
transistor that uses an electric field to
control the flow of current in a
semiconductor. The MOSFET ( metal –
oxide – semiconductor field- effect
www.ssccglpinnacle.com
transistor) utilizes an insulator (typically
SiO2) between the gate and the body
Insulated gate bipolar Transistors
(IGBTs) - An insulated - gate bipolar
transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal
power semiconductor device primarily
used as an electronic switch, which, as it
was developed, came to combine high
efficiency and fast switching. Examples
include consumer appliances that utilize
motors, and electric vehicle drives.
Integrated Circuits
Integrated Circuits contain silicon with
many circuits, transistors and many
components. It is known as the building
block of Computer Hardware.
The integrated circuit was first
introduced as a concept by British radar
engineer Geoffrey Dummer on May 7,
1952.
Integrated Circuits are incorporated in
many computer devices like Keyboards,
Mouse, Headphones, speakers and
microphones, smartphone, tablets, Video
game consoles and controllers etc.
Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor (CMOS)
The term CMOS stands for
“Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor”. This is one of the most
popular technologies in the computer
chip design industry and it is broadly
used today to form integrated circuits in
numerous and varied applications. This
is the dominant semiconductor
technology for memories like RAM,
ROM, EEPROM, microcontroller chips,
microprocessors, and application-
specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
In CMOS technology, both N-type and
P-type transistors are used to design
logic functions.

Web graphics are visual portrayals
utilized on a Web site to upgrade or
empower the portrayal of a thought or
feeling, to reach the webpage client. Web
graphics are visual representations used
on a Web site to enhance or enable the
representation of an idea or feeling, in
order to reach the Web site user.
Some Common formats of web graphics
are Tagged image file format (TIFF) files,
bitmap picture (BMP) files, graphics
interchange format (GIF) files, Joint
Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) files,
and portable network graphic (PNG) files.
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) Files -
TIFF or TIF, Tagged Image File Format,
represents raster images that are meant
for usage on a variety of devices that
comply with this file format standard.
Bitmap Picture - A bitmap is a type of
memory organization or image file
format used to store digital images. It
carries the extension. BMP.
Graphics Interchange Format (Gif) files -
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange
Format. GIF is a raster file format
designed for relatively basic images that
appear mainly on the internet. Each file
can support up to 8 bits per pixel and can
contain 256 indexed colors.

Computer graphics can be separated into
two different categories: raster graphics
and vector graphics.
Raster graphics, also called bitmap
graphics, a type of digital image that
uses tiny rectangular pixels, or picture
elements, arranged in a grid formation to
represent an image. Raster Graphics are
composed of pixels.
Vector graphics is a form of computer
graphics in which visual images are
created directly from geometric shapes
defined on a Cartesian plane, such as
points, lines, Curves and polygons.
Vector graphics are composed of paths.
In computer graphics, a palette is the set
of available colors from which an image
can be made.
Colour Models
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) - The RGB colour
model is the most common colour model
used in Digital image processing and
openCV.
CMYK: CMYK color model is widely used
in printers. It stands for Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, and Black (key).
HSV: The image consists of three
channels. Hue, Saturation, and Value are
three channels.
YIQ: YIQ is the most widely used color
model used in Television broadcasting. Y
stands for luminance part and IQ stands
for chrominance part.
Despite the huge reduction in file size,
JPEG images maintain reasonable image
quality.

RSA - (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a
public-key cryptosystem that is widely
used for secure data transmission. It is
also one of the oldest. It is faster in
encryption and slower in decryption..
DSA - DSA stands for Digital Signature
Algorithm. It is used for digital signature
and its verification. it is faster in
decryption and slower in encryption.
Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a
symmetric cipher algorithm that encrypts
and decrypts data using the block cipher
method.
The AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) algorithm (also known as the
Rijndael algorithm) is a symmetrical
block cipher algorithm that takes the
plain text in blocks of 128 bits and
converts them to ciphertext using keys of
128, 192, and 256 bits.

Types of Cryptography
Symmetric key cryptography
Symmetric key cryptography is also
known as secret-key cryptography, and in
this type of cryptography, you can use
only a single key. Some common
symmetric key cryptography examples
include along with IDEA, Blowfish, RC4
(Rivest Cipher 4), RC5 (Rivest Cipher 5),
RC6 (Rivest Cipher 6), the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES), the Data
Encryption Standard (DES).
Asymmetric key cryptography
Asymmetric key cryptography is also
known as public-key cryptography, and it
employs the use of two keys. Examples
include Diffie-Hellman, ECC, El Gamal,
DSA, and RSA
Hash Function
This algorithm makes no use of any keys.
A hash value with a fixed length is
calculated based on the plain text,
making it impossible to recover the plain
text’s contents. Examples are SHA-256
and SHA3.
Public key cryptography
Public key cryptography involves a pair of
keys known as a public key and a private
key (a public key pair), which are
associated with an entity that needs to
authenticate its identity electronically or
to sign or encrypt data.
Private Key cryptography
A private key, also known as a secret key,
is a variable in cryptography that is used
with an algorithm to encrypt and decrypt
data.
A polyalphabetic cipher is any cipher
based on substitution, using multiple
substitution alphabets.
A block cipher is a method of encrypting
data in blocks to produce ciphertext
using a cryptographic key and algorithm.
In cryptography, a block cipher mode of
operation is an algorithm that uses a
block cipher to provide information
security such as confidentiality or
authenticity.
Cryptographic protocols provide secure
connections, enabling two parties to
communicate with privacy and data
integrity. The Transport Layer Security

Computer Knowledge
(TLS) protocol evolved from that of the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Encryption- Encryption is a way of
scrambling data so that only authorized
parties can understand the information.
Decryption - The conversion of encrypted
data into its original form is called
Decryption.
When the message is encrypted into a
state which is totally incomprehensible
and undecipherable, this is known as the
ciphertext. Ciphertext is encrypted text
transformed from plaintext using an
encryption algorithm.
MAC (Message Authentication Code) -
MAC algorithm is a symmetric key
cryptographic technique to provide
message authentication.
