There are times when we would want to know how many key-value pairs are present in a hash. These key-value pair counts are also known as the size of the hash. In Perl, we can find the number of keys in a Perl hash by using the "scalar" keyword or "keys" keyword. In this tutorial, we will explore two Perl examples where we will calculate the number of keys in a hash. Example Consider the code shown below. In this code, we have declared a hash named "countries" and in that hash, we have different countries, each having ... Read More

Introduction Edge chasing is a technique used in operating systems and computer hardware to handle events or signals that occur asynchronously with the processor's clock cycle. This technique involves detecting and responding to events or signals as they occur, or as close to their occurrence as possible, to minimize the delay between the event and the system's response. Edge chasing algorithms are used to implement this technique and are an essential component of interrupt handling, input/output operations, and other time-sensitive tasks in modern computer systems. Basic Edge Chasing Algorithms The two basic edge chasing algorithms are polling and interrupts. Polling ... Read More

Dynamic Partitioning is a memory management technique used in computing systems to allocate and deallocate memory resources as needed. Unlike static partitioning, dynamic partitioning allows for the creation of new memory partitions or the resizing of existing ones at runtime. Dynamic Partitioning plays a crucial role in modern computing systems, where efficient memory utilization is essential for optimal system performance. This article will provide an overview of dynamic partitioning, including how it works, its types, advantages and disadvantages, real-world applications, challenges, and future prospects. Definition of Dynamic Partitioning Dynamic partitioning is a computer memory management technique that allows the system ... Read More

In Perl, we can find the number of matches in a string by different approaches. In this tutorial, we will discuss the three most widely used approaches. Searching for a Single Character in a Perl String Let's first take the case where we would want to search for a single character pattern in a string. For example, let's suppose we have a string that look something like this − "India.Japan.Russia.USA.China" And, we want to find the number of times "." (dot) appears in the above string. Example Consider the code shown below. my $countries ... Read More

Introduction Disk scheduling and management are essential components of a computer's operating system that handle the organization and access of data on a disk. Disk scheduling algorithms determine the order in which the read/write head of the disk moves to access data, which impacts the efficiency and speed of accessing data. Some commonly used disk scheduling algorithms include First-Come-First-Serve, Shortest Seek Time First, and SCAN. Disk management, on the other hand, involves tasks such as disk partitioning, formatting, and file system creation. It ensures that the disk is properly utilized, optimized for performance, and maintained to prevent data loss or ... Read More
