The answer is firewall. It is a network security device that observes inbound and outbound network traffic and chooses whether to allow or block specific traffic based on a well-defined set of security rules. Firewalls have been a first line of protection in network security for over 25 years. The firewall present a barrier between measured and secured internal networks that can be trusted and untrusted outside networks, for example the Internet. A firewall can be software, hardware, or even both.
Yes very much so! You could learn previous mistakes/bugs/etc and find solutions to fixing them and avoiding getting them. As well as much more. History is always a fun subject for anything, really in my opinion.
Some example's of coding affecting real life:
- Robots used in factories. can work in extreme conditions.
- Automatic Heater or Air Conditioner.
- Expert Systems used in for Medical Use.
Use the following rules:
- The sum of currents that enter and exit a node (junction) is always zero. So if you have 3 wires that connect, through one flows 2A, the other 3A, then the third must deliver 5A (taking the direction into account!)
- The sum of voltages across different components should always add up. So if you have a battery of 10V with two unknown resistors, and over one of the resistors is 4V, you know the other one has the remaining 6V.
- With resistors, V=I*R must hold.
With these basic rules you should get a long way!
