The BIOS feature that enables a hard drive to read or write several sectors at a time is called IDE block mode
Explanation:
IDE block mode setting speeds up IDE drivers when enabled by allowing multiple sectors to read or write operations. This BIOS feature rushes up hard disk drive passage by transferring many divisions of data per interrupt rather than using the normal single-sector transfer mode.
This mode of transfer is known as block transfers. When block transfers are enabled, depends on the IDE controller, nearly 64 KB of data can be transferred per interrupt.
Plagiarism is quite a bad thing because if you plagiarize, you are copying and pasting other people's work and using the work as yours (even though you change the sentence structure/ some words, it is still plagiarizing.) Fair use means un-biasness.
Answer:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void divide(int numerator, int denominator, int *quotient, int *remainder)
{
*quotient = (int)(numerator / denominator);
*remainder = numerator % denominator;
}
int main()
{
int num = 42, den = 5, quotient=0, remainder=0;
divide(num, den, "ient, &remainder);
return 0;
}
Explanation:
The exercise is for "Call by pointers". This technique is particularly useful when a variable needs to be changed by a function. In our case, the quotient and the remainder. The '&' is passing by address. Since the function is calling a pointer. We need to pass an address. This way, the function will alter the value at the address.
To sum up, in case we hadn't used pointers here, the quotient and remainder that we set to '0' would have remained zero because the function would've made copies of them, altered the copies and then DELETED the copies. When we pass by pointer, the computer goes inside the memory and changes it at the address. No new copies are made. And the value of the variable is updated.
