(using brute force) rather than employing intellectual strategies.

How a designer makes Structured Design?

Answer: Structured Design: Materials and member type, size, and configuration to
carry loads in a safe and serviceable fashion.
In general, structural design implies the engineering of stationary objects such as
buildings and bridges, or objects that may be mobile but have a rigid shape such as
ship hulls and aircraft frames tructural design involves at least five distinct phases
of work, project requirements, materials, structural scheme, analysis, and design
It is insufficient in most cases, for the designer to consider a solution, a design. He
should evaluate several alternate designs and choose the best in the sense of
maximizing such technical objectives as efficiency, reliability, and maintainability
while satisfying such design constraints as memory size and response time.

Question No: 31 ( Marks: 5 )


What is Turing machine? Who invented it and also explain how a Turing test is
conducted?

Answer: A Turing machine is a theoretical device that manipulates symbols


contained on a strip of tape. Despite its simplicity, a Turing machine can be adapted
to simulate the logic of any computer algorithm, and is particularly useful in
explaining the functions of a CPU inside of a computer. The "Turing" machine was
designed by Alan Turing in 1937.
www.virtualinspire.com
The Turing test is a proposal for a test of a machine's ability to demonstrate
intelligence. It proceeds as follows a human judge engages in a natural language
conversation with one human and one machine, each of which tries to appear
human. All participants are placed in isolated locations. If the judge cannot reliably
tell the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the test. In
order to test the machine's intelligence rather than its ability to render words into
audio, the conversation is limited to a text-only channel such as a computer
keyboard and screen.
If a computer pass the test ,we can say that a machine can think.

Question No: 32 ( Marks: 5 )


What are JavaScript literal and what are its types?

Answer: The raw data that make up the root of data types are called "literals."
These are, in effect, literally what they represent themselves to be. Numbers, strings,
and Boolean values make up the core set of literals in JavaScript. Little mystery
exists with literals, but important differences exist between them. In JavaScript,
data types include strings, which are simply quoted characters, numbers, Boolean,
Objects and even a type which has no value at all, Null. Since JavaScript is a loosely
typed language, you don't neccessarily need to know what type of data every value is
(although it certainly helps).
Every piece of data in these categories is known as a value. When a value is referred
to outright in a statement, it is called a literal value. For the same reason people are
identified by names as opposed to "human" or "person", literal values can be
named in order to make repeated reference to them practical, efficent and readable.
These names are called variables.

Literals can be of several types. Some of them are:


Array Literals
Boolean Literals
Floating-Point Literals
Integers
Object Literals
String Literals
