What is Blockchain Technology ?

Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger technology that allows for secure and transparent storage and transfer of information, without the need for intermediaries. It was first introduced in 2008 as a foundational technology of the digital cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, but has since been adopted for many other purposes beyond cryptocurrencies.

At its core, a blockchain is a decentralized database or ledger that records transactions in a transparent and secure way, using cryptographic techniques to ensure the integrity of the data. Each block in the chain contains a timestamp, a unique identifier (hash), and a list of transactions that have been validated and added to the ledger. The hash of each block is dependent on the hash of the previous block, creating an immutable and tamper-proof record of all transactions in the chain.

One of the key benefits of blockchain technology is its ability to enable trust and security in an open, decentralized network, where multiple parties can participate and transact without relying on a central authority or intermediary. This has made it popular in applications such as supply chain management, digital identity, voting systems, and more.

Write A C Program To Delete A Single Element From An Array

#include <stdio.h> int main () {     int arr [ 10 ], n, i, position;     printf ( "Enter the size of array: \n " );     scanf ( " %d " , &n);     printf ( "Enter the elements of the array: \n " );     for (i= 0 ;i<n;i++)     {         scanf ( " %d " , & arr [i]);     }     printf ( "Enter the position which  element is delete: \n " );     scanf ( " %d " , &position);     if (position< 1 || position>n)     {         printf ( "Position is Unavailabe! \n " );         return 0 ;     } for (i=position- 1 ; i<n- 1 ;i++) { arr [i]= arr [i+ 1 ]; } n--; printf ( "Updated array is: \n " ); for (i= 0 ; i<n;i++){     printf ( " %d " , arr [i]); } printf ( " \n " ); return 0 ; } OUTPUT- Enter the size of array: 5 Enter the elements of the array: 2 3 9 5 6 Enter the position which element is delete: 3 Updated array

Evolution of Computer Devices

  Abacus (3000BC) Developed around 3000 years BC by the Mesopotamians and later improved by Chinese, an abacus consists of beads divided into two parts which are movable on the rods of the two parts. Addition and multiplication etc. of numbers is done by using the place value of the digits of the numbers and position of beads in the abacus. Napiers logs and Bones  (1550-1617) Also called Napier's rods, are numbered rods (10 in total) which can be used to perform multiplication of any number by a number 2-9. Blaise Pascals Adding Machine (1642) A machine made up of gears which were used for adding numbers quickly. It consisted of numbered toothed wheels having unique position values. The rotation of wheels controlled the addition and subtraction operations. This machine was capable of carry-transfer automatically. Leibnitz Calculator (1671) Gottfried Leibnitz, a German mathematician, improved the adding machine and constructed at new machine that was able to perform multiplic
