  • Ans. 

    Design logical circuits for arithmetic circuits in a blackbox.

    • Understand the functionality of the arithmetic circuits in the blackbox.

    • Identify the inputs and outputs of the blackbox.

    • Design logical circuits using logic gates to replicate the arithmetic operations.

    • Test the logical circuits to ensure they produce the same outputs as the arithmetic circuits.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Embedded c-code for recursion
  • Ans. 

    Recursion in embedded C-code allows a function to call itself, useful for repetitive tasks or complex algorithms.

    • Ensure proper base case to avoid infinite recursion

    • Use stack space efficiently as embedded systems have limited resources

    • Avoid recursive functions with deep call stacks to prevent stack overflow

    • Example: Recursive function to calculate factorial of a number
