What is a Processor?








Smartphones have been the most important part of our lives. We have seen the evolution of our  handsets. First we saw landlines which were mess of tangled wires then we saw mobile phones which is successor of landlines. They were portable devices from which you can make calls then we witnessed emergence of Smartphones which were  considered as portable computers which also allows us to make calls.

What is a Processor?
Underneath that touchscreen display there is a full- fledged computer that commands your apps so that they function properly. A processor executes what you want your smartphone to do or in other word you can say processor is brain of computer.
there is Exynos, Snapdragon, quad-core octa-core etc.

What is a core?

It is an element of surprises. They are present inside processor and are responsible for reading the command and executing them. First devices came with single core processor but later on scientists invented more advanced processors such as dual core , Soon, there were quad core (4), hexa core (6) and octa core(8).

What does these core signifies?

The cores are helpful in the speed, in other words number of cores is directly proportional to speed of the smartphone. Its makes your smartphone experience snappy, your Apps load quickly, you can capture high quality video and photos, your gaming experience enhances. There may lie some exceptions but generally, the more cores the better the performance.

What is the difference between quad core and octa core?

There is a myth among some of us that octa core is twice as fast as quad core but that is not true, although octa core is faster than quad core but their functioning is deduced during app works.For example you are browsing internet then one of the core is taking responsibility of its functioning then  while browsing a call comes in then the second core immediately gets to work. Both web browsing and phone call will work without any trouble.

What to look after while going for smartphone?

If you are willing to buy a smartphone then look for processor specialty there you will find what you need. If you need your smartphone to be faster then go for multi-core processor

1235. Maximum Profit in Job Scheduling

Hi everyone, Today's post is little bit intriguing to me as it took me some time to get t the solution. I have been out of practice for a bit so I was not able to do it in the DP. I didn't want to copy the code. Though i understood the code after i checked its solution in the discussions. Anyways, i tried to do it with heap and with some thinking I was able to do it and with my surprise It performed real well. I would like to jump to the solution but first I would like to explain a little bit about heaps so you can get better understanding of the code. A heap is like a special type of list where the smallest (or largest) item is always at the front. Think of it like a priority line at a theme park, where the person with the highest priority goes to the front. There are two types of heaps: Min Heap: The smallest item is at the front. It's like standing in a line where the shortest person is always at the front. Max Heap: The largest item is at the front. It's like stand...

1456, Maximum Number of Vowels in a Substring of Given Length

Hi, folks today I am here with an interesting coding problem from Leetcode. *To directly go to the question please click here. So I will walk through the solution. It will be a brute force and an optimized way solution. I will be explaining the optimized way solutions in depth. # Intuition For any substring of length k, we need to find how many vowels are there in it and provide the highest count of all counts of vowels in a substring. Test Case 1 Input k = 2 and s='asjdee' Output - 2 Explanation: As for substring of length k=2, in the string 's' we have 'ee' when the length is k and the vowels count is 2 Test Case 2 Input k=3 and s='aasdiisdwe' Output - 2 Explanation - For all the substrings with length k = 3 we have 'aas' and 'dii' with 2 vowels each in it. Brute Force - Looping (twice) - Gives TLE (Not recommended) # Approach Create a hashmap (dictionary) with all the vowels in it. Loop through the string till len(s)-k element of strin...

2125. Number of Laser Beams in a Bank

Hi Guys, Today is 3 January 2024 and below is the solution for problem of the day So, the question we have is Number of Laser Beams in a Bank .  In this we have to find total number of lasers. So just imagine it as we have to find number of lines connecting the dots.  so if there are 2 dots. we will have one line, if we have 3 dots we will get 3 lines, and so on... Now relate the above provided example, let's relate this to our problem statement.   We have 4 walls, first wall has 3 lasers, second wall has 0 lasers, third wall got 2 lasers and last wall has 1 laser. So as i suggested we need to connect dots so make sure to only join adjacent dots. So lasers from 1 and 3 wall  will connect to each other (6 lasers) and wall 3 and 4 will connect to each other (2 lasers). So total of 8 lasers, which is the required output anyways. class Solution : def numberOfBeams ( self , bank : List[ str ]) -> int : val = 0 # Initialize a variable `val` to store th...
