MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -In digital logic and computing, a counter is a device which stores (and sometimes displays) the number of times a particular event or process has occurred, often in relationship to a clock. The most common type is a sequential digital logic circuit with an input line called the clock and multiple output lines.

Detailed explanation-2: -Logic counters are integrated circuits (ICs) that count events in computers and other digital systems. Because they must remember past states, logic counters include memory. Generally, logic counters consist of bistable devices or bistable multivibrators called flip-flops.

Detailed explanation-3: -A digital circuit which is used for a counting pulses is known counter. Counter is the widest application of flip-flops. It is a group of flip-flops with a clock signal applied.

Detailed explanation-4: -A counter is a device which can count any particular event on the basis of how many times the particular event(s) is occurred. In a digital logic system or computers, this counter can count and store the number of time any particular event or process have occurred, depending on a clock signal.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is a device that counts down from a specified time interval and used to generate a time delay, for example, an hourglass is a timer. A counter is a device that stores (and sometimes displays) the number of times a particular event or process occurred, with respect to a clock signal.
