Programming Pointers Definition C/C++ (Learn what are pointers? How defined and used using sample example pointer code in C++)

Pointers Definition: A pointer is a data type recognized by C++ and C, but not by Java. A variable of data type pointer contains an address of some other data element stored in data memory (RAM), e.g., the address of the value stored in some other variable. The pointer variable itself is also stored at some address in data memory. Diagram to learn programming pointers:  Pointers in different computer programming languages:  Pointers...

FSM VHDL Lab Code for Thunderbird Turn Signal circuit design (FPGA Digital Systems Project Explanation)

Using Thunderbird Turn Signal digital circuit lab, you can learn how the logic of finite state machine is implemented in real life embedded world for example in this case, 1965 Ford Thunderbird. FSM's contributes a lot more functionality to the world of Digital Systems.  SO What is FSM (finite-state machine): A finite-state machine (FSM) or finite-state automaton (plural: automata), or simply a state machine, is...

Rotating LED VHDL Lab Code With Intermediate-Sized Sequential Circuit Project Design and Procedures

Rotating LED is an intermediate-sized sequential circuit. Rotating LED lab will utilize seven-segment LED and clock functionality. VHDL language is used to implement this rotating LED logic on Altera DE1 FPGA device using  Altera Quartus design suite. Project specification: In a seven-segment LED display, a square pattern can be created by enabling the a, b, f, and g segments or the c, d, e, and g segments. We want to design a circuit that...

LINUX/UNIX C Shell Alias Command Syntax Example Code

LINUX/UNIX Aliases: The C shell allows you to create and customize your own commands by using the built-in command alias. Commonly used for a long strings that are frequently used. Alias allows you to have a small more familiar command or name to execute a long string. An alias will last for the life of the shell session. Regularly used aliases can be set from the shell's configuration file (~/.cshrc or the systemwide /etc/csh.cshrc for csh, or ~/.bashrc or the systemwide /etc/bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc for bash) so that they will be available...
