CHEET SHEET

LEC 1 : A programming language is a set of vocabulary and grammatical rules used to instruct a computer to perform tasks. Learning about programming languages is essential because knowing just one or two languages is not enough for a computer scientist. Studying language concepts improves your ability to express ideas, choose the right language for different tasks, learn new languages more easily, understand implementations, and even design new languages. A language like Prolog is highlighted as...

PROCESS MANAGEMENT

- Fork: Each fork() creates a new process → 2^n processes after n forks
- Fork Output: for(i=0; i<3; i++) fork(); printf("hello\n"); prints "hello" 8 times (2^3)
- Child/Parent Sharing: Only code, static data, and disk content are shared; heap, stack, registers are copied
- Process vs Thread Switch: Process switching is more expensive due to: address space switch, TLB flush, cache pollution
- Multithreading Benefits: Even on single-core CPU, threads

1. P&G – “THE LOOK”  This campaign is NOT trying to sell a product. It’s trying to change how people think and feel. That means it fits under institutional advertising, advocacy advertising, and cause marketing.

What makes this ad powerful is that it uses emotional appeal (especially empathy and discomfort) to engage viewers. It doesn’t have a slogan or price tag

 Lecture 8: Network Effect  What is it that gives the iPhone, Facebook, Microsoft Word, IM, and text enabled phones value? Metcalfe’s Law states that the value of a network grows with the square of the number of users. Traditional products ▪ Value depends on the physical attributes and proportional to its rarity ▪ E.g. when they in general (as a product category) were scarce, their value (i.e. user’s willingness to pay) would be very high. Products that are subject to network effects ▪...
