Overflow Error Computing

An Error that occurs when the computer attempts to handle a number that is too large for it. Every computer has a well-defined range of values that it can represent. If during execution of a program it arrives at a number outside this range, it will experience an overflow error. Overflow errors are sometimes referred to as overflow conditions.

There are two type of over flow errors:-
  • has to do with the internal memory stack of the program.
  • has  to do with amout of memory used to store data
Each program has a section of memory allocated for a stack.The stack is used to store internal data for the program and is very fast and keep track of return addressing.


A program may jump to an area that reads some data from the hard drive,then it returns from that routine to continue processing the data.The stack keeps track keeps track of originating address, and the program uses that for the return.

The stack has limited amount of space and using it for storing return addresses, and as well as memory  usage for storing variables, it can run out and all the title bits of data overflow and cause program to crash

EX:-
  • if your operating a system on your mobile device is giving  you a stack overflow error, you may have too many apps running. 
  • you may have a virus using stack space.
  • you could even have hardware damages.
  • you may get over flow error when an application request 64 bits of storage when the program can only offer 32 bits.

Check your app usage and virus protection and run a memory diagnostic app on your mobile device to see if this helps clear up your error.
Dealing with over flow errors in development should be priority for developers.
Companies should issue patches or upgrades to fix overflow error problems.

Neural Network

 Neural Network What is a Neural Network Deep Learning  is based on the function of a human brain, lets understand how does a Biological Neural Network look like First step in the process is to calculate the weighted sum of the inputs Second step in the process is to pass the calculated weighted  sum as input activation function to generate the output. Activation Function An Activation function takes the "weighted sum of input plus the bias" as the input to the function and decides whether it should be fired or not. Types of Activation Functions Sigmoid Function Threshold Function ReLU Function (Most Popular one in current Industry) Hyperbolic Target Function Sigmoid Function Used for models where we have to predict the probability as an output. It exists between 0 and 1 Threshold Function It is a thershold based activation function. If Y value is greater than a certain Value, the function is activated and fired else not.It ...

Deep Learning with python

                                                  Deep Learning Why we are Choosing  Python for Deep Learning? Python is a widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming. Apart from being open source programming language, python is a great object-oriented, interpreted, and interactive programming language. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.  Python is also usable as an extension language for applications written in other languages that need easy-to-use scripting or automation interfaces. What is Deep Learning? Deep structured learning or hierarchical learning or deep learning in short is part of the f...
