A Comprehensive Guide to Threading and Turning Operations on a Lathe

Threading

Threading is the process of creating helical grooves and profiles on the inside or outside of a workpiece. This is achieved by combining the rotational movement of the workpiece with the longitudinal movement of a cutting tool.

Threaded Shaft Mechanism

A threaded shaft is held within a nut array that can be opened or closed via an external lever. When the nut is closed, the carriage is engaged with the lead screw, allowing for precise longitudinal movement. Conversely, opening the nut disengages

Dynamic Memory Structures and Linked Lists in Programming

7.1. Objectives

Static structures cannot be resized during program execution. Changing the arrangement of elements within a static structure is expensive. For example, the positions of elements within an array cannot be resized. At design time, we do not know exactly how much memory we need or how to organize it.

Solution: Define and organize this memory at runtime using dynamic memory structures.

Dynamic memory management is done through pointers.

Dynamic memory: Memory from which you can reserve space
