A process in an operating system is represented by a data
structure known as a process control block (PCB) or process
descriptor. The PCB contains important information about the
specific process including
* The current state of the process i.e., whether it is
ready, running, waiting, or whatever.
* Unique identification of the process in order to track
"which is which" information.
* A pointer to parent process.
* Similarly, a pointer to child process (if it exists).
* The priority of process (a part of CPU scheduling
information).
* Pointers to locate memory of processes.
* A register save area.
* The processor it is running on.
The PCB is a certain store that allows the operating systems
to locate key information about a process. Thus, the PCB is
the data structure that defines a process to the operating
systems.

A code which had some declarations of some data items. There were a couple of normal data items(char,int..) and some pointers as well and a malloc call. You have to find the total memory taken up in the stack(Hint:Pointers and all are allocated in heap, not in stack, so dont count them).Also in most of these questions, they were specifying that the OS was 32 bit

Write a program in āCā language that will perform the following operation on static stack. 1. push 2. pop 3. Display 4. Exit Create separate functions for each operation. The push() should accept one argument of structure type and will not return any thing. The pop() function will not receive any argument & return structure type value. The stack & top must be declare as external variable. Each element of stack will contain the following information Roll No, Std Name, Course. Use do-while loop & switch case for generating the above menu. The format of the output should is given below: S.No. Roll No. Student Name Course 1 cse01 Anil Singh B.Tech
