Networking Fundamentals: Switches, Routing, DNS, and Security
How Switches Work: Learning, Flooding, Filtering, Forwarding, and Aging
Switches operate similarly to hubs, but with the added capability of identifying the intended destination of received information. This allows them to send data only to the computers that are supposed to receive it. The key functions are:
- Learning: The switch reads the MAC address and saves it to a lookup table. This allows the switch to know where to find the node (Source MAC, segment, port, timestamp).
- Flooding: The switch
2D and 3D Graphics: Transformations, Shaders, and Game Engines
Explain in detail the different 2D transformations
2D transformations modify an object’s position, size, orientation, or shape. They are essential in graphics for scaling images, rotating objects, translating shapes, and shearing figures.
Basic Transformations:
Translation: Moves an object without altering its shape.
Scaling: Enlarges or shrinks an object based on factors Sx,SyS_x, S_y.
Rotation: Rotates an object about a fixed point by angle θ\theta.
Shearing: Distorts an object along the x or y-axis.

Node.js, React, Express.js, and MongoDB: Key Concepts
Node.js Fundamentals
1) Write any four built-in modules in Node.js.
fs, http, path, os.
2) What is the File System module in Node.js?
The fs module in Node.js handles file operations like reading, writing, and deleting files.
3) What is Nodemon?
Nodemon is a tool that automatically restarts Node.js applications when file changes are detected.
4) What is the full form of REST API?
REST API stands for Representational State Transfer Application Programming

Computer Networks
A computer network is a set of interconnected computers designed to share information, resources, and services.
Network Types by Scope
- Local Area Network (LAN): Limited scope, typically less than 2 km.
- Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): Covers a wider area, usually less than 100 km.
- Wide Area Network (WAN): Scope extends over 100 km.
Advantages of Networking
- Sharing: Enables sharing of data, hardware, and software.
- Reduced Costs: Maximizes the price/performance ratio of network elements.
Operating System Kernels, Multitasking, and Task Scheduling
Kernel Fundamentals and Operating System Types
Kernel: The kernel is the core of the operating system, responsible for managing system resources and communication between hardware and other system services. It acts as an abstraction layer between system resources and user applications, containing a set of system libraries and services. The kernel handles process management, memory (primary and secondary) management, file system management, I/O (device) management, and time management.
