Motion blocks are those blocks of code that we use to move or turn the sprites. Motion blocks can be found in the block palette of the Scratch editor, as shown below. We use motion blocks to create motion effects, animations, and other interactions in our games. Moves the sprite by 10 steps forward in […]

IDSes use several different techniques to detect malicious network activity. Anti-virus Software uses IDS to discover, flag, and remove. Types of IDS: Signature based attacks are good at identifying known attacks based on signatures in the databases, but they fail in identifying new zero day attacks with new patterns. Protocol based detection systems are good

A basic circuit would be as follows: Every electric circuit, regardless of where it is or how large or small it is, has four basic parts: an energy source (AC or DC), a conductor (wire), an electrical load (device), and at least one controller (switch). Basics of a Diode: Diodes control the current flow in
