JSP Directives and Implicit Objects

JSP Directives

Directives are labels used in a JSP page, identified by the @ symbol in their syntax:

<%@ Directive_Name [attribute_i = "value"]%>

Their scope is typically page, meaning their action is limited to the page where they are used. They do not return values to the client like expressions or scriptlets, except as generated by their implementation. The JSP 1.1 specification defines three standard directives: page, include, and taglib.

Page Directive

The page directive defines global attributes

Database Indexing and Hashing Techniques

Indexing and Hashing in Databases

Indexing

Indexing is a data structure technique used to efficiently retrieve records from database files based on certain attributes. Indexing has been implemented on these attributes.

Types of Indexing

  • Primary Index: Defined on an ordered data file, where the data file is ordered on a key field (generally the primary key of the relation).
  • Secondary Index: May be generated from a field that is a candidate key and has a unique value in every record, or a non-key with

Early Computers vs. Modern Systems: Impact of OS

Early Computers vs. Modern Systems: The Impact of Operating Systems

The Dawn of Computing: MARK I, ENIAC, and UNIVAC I

The first computers, such as the MARK I, ENIAC, and UNIVAC I, relied on vacuum tubes for processing information. Data input and output were primarily handled through punched cards or tapes. This made the introduction of software a slow and sequential task.

The Rise of Modern Computing

Subsequent generations of computers witnessed significant advancements. The introduction of transistors

C Programming: Arrays, Sorting, and Pointers

In C, characters are declared to be of the type char. Each char variable is stored in 8 bits (This is different from Java, in which the char type requires 16 bits so that it can store a Unicode).

Variable-Length and 2D Arrays: Latin Square Example

Let’s examine an example using both variable-length arrays and 2D arrays. The example tests whether a matrix is a Latin square. An n by n matrix is a Latin square if each row is a permutation of numbers 1, 2, . . . , n and each column is a permutation of
