Types of I/O Devices
Block Devices
Store data in fixed-size blocks. Data transfer happens in blocks (e.g., SSD).
Character Devices
Handle a stream of characters with no block structure (e.g., Keyboard, Mouse). They do not support seek operations.
Block vs. Character Devices
Block devices support random access and block-level operations, while character devices operate in a stream and cannot seek.
I/O Communication Methods
Separate I/O and Memory Space
Provides easier separation but is less flexible.

Two-Dimensional Arrays and Matrix Addition in C
A two-dimensional array (2D array) is a type of array that stores data in a matrix format, consisting of rows and columns. It can be visualized as an array of arrays. Each element in a 2D array is accessed by two indices: the row index and the column index.
Declaration of a Two-Dimensional Array
In C language, a 2D array is declared using the following syntax:
data_type array_name[rows][columns];Example: To declare a 2×2 integer matrix:

Plato: The Intelligible World and Political Philosophy
The Intelligible World of Ideas
The intelligible world of ideas, according to Plato, is the true reality—the field where ideas are located. This reality cannot be accessed through the use of the senses but is reached by employing the most excellent part of the soul: reason. This authentic reality has a religious character and significant consequences in the fields of epistemology, ethics, and politics. Situated above all other ideas, we find

Plant Cell Signaling Fundamentals
Cell signaling in plants is a crucial process that allows cells to perceive environmental and endogenous cues, transmit this information, and trigger appropriate responses. The main stages of cell signaling are signal perception, signal transduction (including amplification and second messengers), and cellular response. Additionally, feedback regulation ensures fine control of signaling pathways.
Stages of Plant Cell Signaling
1. Signal Perception (Reception)
Stimuli
