In this post, we’ll see how learning binary addition serves as the building block for computers. We will build a two bit adder circuit using logic gates. Let’s say we want to add two numbers 6 + 4, we know the answer and it is 10. But, let’s say we want to add two binary […]

User writes a program in C or C++ language (high-level language). The C compiler compiles the program and translates it to an assembly program (low-level language). An assembler then translates the assembly program into machine code (object). A linker tool is used to link all the parts of the program together for execution (executable machine

Transistors operate as switches just like the ones you see below), the only thing is you don’t switch them on/off physically. Transistors can store binary value 0 (when current is not flowing through the base) and 1 (when current is flowing through the base). But, you may think how is this so different from a

Let’s talk about how functions in mathematics is related to coding in this blog. You must have already written some code in some language and you might’ve used for-loops or while-loops and processed some data using these loops. We typically write different code in various languages to solve some problems like, say sorting an array

This is a post on how atoms, electrons, breadboards, transistors, circuits and PCBs are related to computer science and why we should study them in detail.
