4. Constants are the values that do not change at the time of execution of a program.
There are two types of constants:
Numeric constants comprise of digits, both positive and negative and decimal
places.
Alphanumeric constants consist of the data enclosed within double quotes.
5. We use line numbers in a QBASIC program to tell the computer which line number
has to be executed or ignored while executing a program.

16. Decimal uses total of 10 digits but hexadecimal uses total of 16 digits and
letters both. Decimal has 0 to 9 digits whereas hexadecimal has 0 to 9 digits and A
to F letters.
4. To convert decimal number to octal number, follow the given steps:
Divide the given decimal number with the base 8.

5. The rules for binary multiplication are: Multiply each digit of the second binary
number with the first binary number. After multiplying the digits, add the digits in
the same column to get the result, like decimal multiplication.

E. 1. QBASIC functions are used to get the output of some simple problems. We can
store those outputs in variables and use them in our programs. We use LCASE $()
and UCASE $() functions to convert lower case letters in upper case and vice versa.
2. SPACE $(C) is used to give desired space between two characters. Syntax: SPACE
$(Number)
3. INSTR () lets you search for a string in another string. If it finds the string, it will tell
you where it is.
Syntax: INSTR(Main string, String to be searched)
Example: A$ = ROHAN BOOKS
PRINT INSTR (A$, BOOKS)
4. Numeric functions are used to solve certain mathematical problems. Examples
are ABS(), VAL(), SGN(), etc.
5. INT() returns the whole number removing the decimal number. SGN() is used to
determine the sign of a number.

2. Using the STEP statement, you can specify the value by which you want the FOR
variable to increment. Syntax: FOR N=0 to 50 STEP 5
3. NESTED loop means that there is a FOR.NEXT statement within another FOR
NEXT statement. Syntax:
FOR X= 1 TO 5
FOR Y= 1 TO 10
NEXT Y
NEXT X
4. The WHILEWEND statement in which a condition is written and that has to be
met for the loop body to be executed. The DO.LOOP statement gives you the
option of continuing a loop using either of the two conditions. Syntax: WHILE
A>=0
WEND
DO WHILE X<=10

D. 1. Networks have made cheaper and faster communication possible and also help in
saving resources.
2. The different parts of a network are:
Transmitter: It is used to transmit signals.
Receiver: It is used to receive signals.
Server: It manages the allocation of resources.
Wire: It connects one computer with another.
Connector: It is used to connect two computers or networks.
Network Interface card: It joins the cable to the computer.
3. In a wire-free network, cables or wires are not needed as they use satellites and
small radio waves to communicate with one another.
4. The types of network topologies are bus topology, star topology, ring topology
and tree topology.
5. In a computer network, we allow a number of people to access and share
important data stored in the computers on the network. So the network needs
to be secured. Two different types of securities are Login security and Rights
security.
