Key Points

  • A horizontal scroll bar makes it possible to left- or right-scroll a window's content. The user can scroll the content up or down using a vertical scroll bar.
  • A scroll bar on a computer screen is a long, thin box along a window's edge that you can click with your mouse to move the text up, down, or across the window.
  • A window can be relocated to any location on your screen after it has been enlarged so that it is not fullscreen. Click and hold the left mouse button on the window's title bar to accomplish this. After that, drag it where you want it to go.
  • Instead of utilizing the vertical scroll bar on the right side of a document or webpage, you can scroll up and down on any page by using the scroll wheel in the center of the mouse. Another function of the mouse's scroll wheel is as a third button.

Additional Information

  • The minimize button (the "-" symbol for minimize) reduces the size of the application window and moves it to the taskbar while the program is still running.
  • A horizontal window at the bottom of a parent window called a status bar is where an application can show several types of status information. To display multiple types of information, the status bar can be separated into sections.
  • An icon and line of text specified by the application are displayed in the title bar at the top of a window. The text identifies the application by name and describes the window's function.

Concept:-

Bus topology, ring topology, star topology, mesh topology, and hybrid topology are some examples of topologies. Random is not a valid topology.

Key Points

  • Network topology is the configuration of a network made up of nodes and connecting lines via sender and receiver.
  • The network architecture will develop in accordance with how data is moved between devices and how they are linked.
  • The structure or pattern in which each node in a network is connected is known as topology. In networking, there are many different topologies, such as the bus, tree, ring, star, mesh, and hybrid topologies.

Additional Information

  • In a LAN (Local Area Network), a bus architecture is used to connect several nodes to a specific cable instead of using a single backbone. It is possible to connect many devices using a coaxial wire or RJ-45 cable. When a cable in a bus topology has an issue, the entire network will not function.
  • Every device on the network is separately connected to the switch or hub, which is the central node, in a network topology known as a star topology.
  • In a ring topology, device connections form a circular data channel in the network setup.
