Mike wrote more than one book and they are also in different print. Maybe you can give the context? Or the title of the book?

Hi,

Yes, I spotted this too. Found a link. Related to computer science:

Hope it's of some help.

Prof, tell me youve passed, Yeh???????

Having checked the most likely book (All in One 5th ed) I see what you are refering to.

In this context a 'heap' is a pre-allocated area of memory used for a particular purpose.

In the Win9x world things like icons were placed here. When the heap was used up then new items wouldn't appear. You may have seen old Win95 boxes with dozens of icons on the desktop, and some of them were not rendered correctly. This was because the heap for that particular resource was all used!

Runnin' out of time... you don't need that level of detail to pass the exam.

 

Prof please do yourself and us a big favour and book the exam right now, today! You have given a new meaning to the word procrastination and have taken caution to another level.

You will pass mate, what is your problem?

Maybe Professor-Falken likes to play a game?
Wargames?

 

Seriously mate, have you booked yet?

If your not ready you can reschedule the exam online.

What exam prep software have you been using?

Also what are you mock exam score like?

Have you considered the new objectives 2006?

 

OMG lets not go there

 

A table without an index is a min-type heap. That's why retreiveing the first record is computationally inexpensive and the last extremely expensive (requiring a full table scan.)

 

I was just asking, just incase the prof doesn't break the Guinness book of records for the longest time to pass A+

BTW how many years is it

Sorry Prof - just being a CheekyMonkey

 

How long is it till the 2003 exams are obsolete ?

 

think its end of may...

 

end of June - my hardware/core exam WILL be passed before then
