CPU: Control Processing Unit is a component of a computer system which is used to perform all type of data processing operations in and manage the operation of all part of the computer system.

ALU: Arithmetic Logical Unit is used to perform arithmetic operation like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and logical operation like OR and AND.

BIOS: Basic Input Output System is a firmware which is used to perform hardware initialization while booting process in a computer system it gives run time services to the operating system and different programs.

GPU: Graphics Processing Unit it is like a co-processor of computer system it is used to enhance the CPU performance for some large processing like for scientific and engineering computing.

Volatile and Non-Volatile memory:

Volatile Memory: it is a type of memory which required power to maintain the current data.in case of power loss stored data lost,

Non-Volatile Memory: I this type of memory there is no data loss in even when of not powered.

What is the role of the OS?

OS, Operating System is a type of system software which as an interface between user and hardware. its role is to perform all the basic task of the operating system of computer like File management, process management handling input-output operations.etc

What is pass-by-reference? What is pass-by-value? What is a memory leak? What happens if the function makes a change to that received array and why? Functions in C++ can return only one data item (e.g., variable) using the return statement and they also cannot return arrays. There is, however, another way to "return" more than one item from a function without using the return statement. Can you explain how and why? How are arrays represented in memory? What is the...
