Quantum Computing – The Next Tech Revolution Technology has evolved rapidly over the last few decades—from bulky mainframe computers to powerful smartphones in our pockets. Yet, despite these advances, traditional computers are approaching their physical limits. This is where quantum computing enters the scene, promising to revolutionize the way we process information and solve complex problems. What Is Quantum Computing? Quantum computing is a new paradigm of computing that uses the principles of quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that explains how matter and energy behave at the smallest scales. Unlike classical computers, which use bits that represent either 0 or 1, quantum computers use qubits. Qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously, thanks to a property called superposition. Additionally, qubits can be interconnected through entanglement, allowing them to share information instantaneously. These unique properties give quantum computers immense computational power....
ARRAY
INTRODUCTION
We will explain the concept of arrays using an analogy. Consider a situation in which we have 20 students in a class and we have been asked to write a program that reads and prints the marks of all the 20 students. In this program, we will need 20 integer variables with different names, as
shown in Fig. below.
Now to read the values of these 20 variables, we must have 20 read statements. Similarly, to print the value of these variables, we need 20 write statements. If it is just a matter of 20 variables, then it might be acceptable for the user to follow this approach. But would it be possible to follow this approach if we have to read and print the marks of students,
* in the entire course (say 100 students)
* in the entire college (say 500 students)
* in the entire university (say 10,000 students)
The answer is no, definitely not! To process a large amount of data, we need a data structure known as array.
An array is a collection of similar data elements. These data elements have the same data type.
The elements of the array are stored in consecutive memory locations and are referenced by an index (also known as the subscript). The subscript is an ordinal number which is used to identify
an element of the array.
