them is selected. Brute force (also known as brute force cracking) is a trial and error

method used by application programs to decode encrypted data such as

passwords or Data Encryption Standard (DES) keys, through exhaustive effort (using

brute force) rather than employing intellectual strategies.

Question No:134 What is java script?

Answer: JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language used to enable programmatic

access to objects within both the client application and other applications. It is primarily

used in the form of client-side JavaScript, implemented as an integrated component of the

Question No:135 How can you explain control unit?

Question No:136 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. 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:137 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
