A line is basically a combination of two joined rays pointing in opposite directions. A line has no endpoints and a line segment has two.

<--------------> line

---------------> or <------------ ray

.________. line segment (It's supposed to be a line with dots at the end to signify endpoint)

Which line has all reserved words in C plus plus?

No line can ever contain every reserved word. For one thing, preprocessor directives and labels must appear on separate lines. Excluding these, any code segment can be written as a single line, which could feasibly include all keywords. However if you classify a line as being a code segment ending with a semi-colon, there can be no single line with all keywords because continue and break are mutually exclusive.


Dry saturated steam is in a semigaseous state?

No. If you refer to the Temperature/ specific entropy (T - s) diagram for steam, the line segment to the right of the critical point (the point of zero gradient) of the curve is called the dry saturated line and the left segment is the satuated vapour line. As self-explanatory as it sounds, dry saturated steam is on the dry saturated line depending on the given temperature or pressure. The quality (dryness fraction) on the dry saturated line is by definition 1, that means there is no portion of it as vapour. Hence it is in a fully gaseous state.


What is the meaning of near and far declaration in microprocessor programming using C?

Programs that are loaded into memory typically have several segments associated with them: the Code Segment (CS), the Stack Segment (SS), the Data Segment (DS), sometimes an Extended Segment (ES), and almost always a Block Started by Symbol (BSS) segment. This question requires that we focus only on the Code Segment (CS). The CS is a segment of memory that contains some of the instructions that are required for the program to execute. If this segment is not large enough to contain the whole program then the program can be loaded into different segments. Such a segment may be 64Kb in size (although the size may differ). Instructions located in these segments are referred to by their offset from the start of the segment, and not by their absolute location in memory. Thus, in order to locate a certain instruction, we need the segment's starting address, and the offset of the instruction in that segment. Whenever a branch (jump, goto) takes place which refers to an instruction that is located in another segment, it is known as a far jump, conversely whenever a jump refers to an instruction that is located in the same segment, it is known as a near jump. The difference referring to the modication of the CS register which contains the address of the current Code Segment for the current running program.
