Maximum values simply mean the highest data value, and minimum data value contains the least available data values. In this article, the user will learn two ways such as by using the subtotal method to calculate the max and min values, and another possible way is by using kutool to perform the same task. Please understand that both features are already provided by the Excel application software and the user only requires to use the available option, to achieve the possible results. Example 1: To obtain the maximum and minimum value from the visible cell in Excel by using ... Read More

Hardware and Middleware are two important terms related to computers. Hardware represents physical components of a computer system, while middleware referrers to a software that acts as communication bridge between different application software. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between hardware and middleware. But before going to discuss the differences, let us first get an overview of hardware and middleware individually. What is Hardware? The physical components of a computer system are called hardware. Therefore, CPU, CPU cabinet, motherboard, keyboard, power supply, mouse, monitor, etc. are examples of hardware. Hardware can be of two types, namely ... Read More

When we connect one computer to another computer or more, we share the purpose of sending files, data, information, or media of such kind between them. It forms a network between these computers. But how does this data is transferred from one to other computers? For example, in a network, we are sending one file to another computer in the room, so the data will be transferred within seconds. What is happening that made it so easy to transfer those files? That is what we are going to understand here in a very simple manner. When we send messages and ... Read More

There are two units of information namely, Bits and Quantum Bits. However, both Bits and Quantum Bits are different from each other. Bits, also called Classical Bits, is the smallest unit of measuring information and it can have only two values, i.e. 0 and 1, while Quantum Bits, also called Qubits, is a unit of information measurement employed in quantum computing. In this article, we will discuss all the major differences between Bits and Quantum Bits. But before that, let us first briefly discuss their basics. What are Bits? In computing technology, a bit is the smallest unit of information ... Read More

RDSK and DSK are both types of disc images used in computer systems, but they differ in some ways. A DSK file is a simple sector-based disc image file containing an exact copy of the data stored on a diskette or floppy disc. An RDSK file is a more complicated disc image file format that is used by some operating systems, such as IBM's OS/2 and Microsoft's Windows. Read this article to find out more about RDSK and DSK and how they are different from each other. What is RDSK? RDSK is a disc image file format used by several ... Read More

Pentium and Athlon are computer processor families developed by Intel and AMD, respectively. While both CPUs perform similar functions, there are a few important differences between them. Pentium CPUs have been recognized for their fast clock speeds, which measure how many cycles per second the processor can execute. Athlon CPUs have been recognized for their high multi-core performance. Read this article to find out more about Pentium and Athlon and how they are different from each other. What is Pentium? Pentium is a family of microprocessors, or CPUs (central processing units), manufactured by Intel, one of the world's largest semiconductor ... Read More
