Difference Between Soft Computing and Hard Computing

Difference Between Soft Computing and Hard Computing:

1. Hard computing is best for solving the mathematical problems which don’t solve the problems of the real world.

Soft computing is better used in solving real-world problems as it is stochastic in nature i.e., it is a randomly defined process that can be analyzed statistically but not with precision.

2. Hard computing relies on binary logic and predefined instructions like a numerical analysis and brisk software and uses two-valued logic.

Soft computing is based on the model of the human mind where it has probabilistic reasoning, fuzzy logic, and uses multivalued logic.

3. Hard computing needs exact input of the data and is sequential; on the other hand, Soft computing can handle an abundance of data and handles multiple computations which might not be exact in a parallel way.

4. Hard computing takes a lot of time to complete tasks and is costly while soft computing tolerance of uncertainty and imprecision is estimated to achieve Machine Intelligence Quotient (MIQ) and lower cost. It also provides better communication.

5. Hard computing is best suited for solving mathematical problems which give some precise answers.

Soft computing resolves the nonlinear issues that involve uncertainty and impreciseness as it has human-like intelligence that can resolve the real-life issue.

6. Hard computing takes a lot of time in computing as it requires the stated analytical model and the model soft computing is based on is that of human intelligence.

Standard and Formatted Input / Output in C++

The C++ standard libraries provide an extensive set of input/output capabilities which we will see in subsequent chapters. This chapter will discuss very basic and most common I/O operations required for C++ programming. C++ I/O occurs in streams, which are sequences of bytes. If bytes flow from a device like a keyboard, a disk drive, or a network connection etc. to main memory, this is called input operation and if bytes flow from main memory to a device like a display screen, a printer, a disk drive, or a network connection, etc., this is called output operation . Standard Input and Output in C++ is done through the use of streams . Streams are generic places to send or receive data. In C++, I/O is done through classes and objects defined in the header file <iostream> . iostream stands for standard input-output stream. This header file contains definitions to objects like cin , cout , etc. /O Library Header Files There are...

Genetic Algorithm: Population, Fitness Function, Parent Selection, Cross over, Mutation

Genetic Algo Population Population is a subset of solutions in the current generation. It can also be defined as a set of chromosomes. There are several things to be kept in mind when dealing with GA population − The diversity of the population should be maintained otherwise it might lead to premature convergence. The population size should not be kept very large as it can cause a GA to slow down, while a smaller population might not be enough for a good mating pool. Therefore, an optimal population size needs to be decided by trial and error. The population is usually defined as a two dimensional array of – size population, size x, chromosome size . Population Initialization There are two primary methods to initialize a population in a GA. They are − Random Initialization − Populate the initial population with completely random solutions. Heuristic initialization − Populate the initial population using a known heuristic for the problem. It has been observed that the e...

C++ (Object and Class)

The major purpose of C++ programming is to introduce the concept of object orientation to the C programming language. Object Oriented Programming is a paradigm that provides many concepts such as inheritance, data binding, polymorphism etc. The programming paradigm where everything is represented as an object is known as truly object-oriented programming language. Smalltalk is considered as the first truly object-oriented programming language. OOPs (Object Oriented Programming System) Object means a real word entity such as pen, chair, table etc. Object-Oriented Programming is a methodology or paradigm to design a program using classes and objects. It simplifies the software development and maintenance by providing some concepts: Object Class Inheritance Polymorphism Abstraction Encapsulation C++ Object In C++, Object is a real world entity, for example, chair, car, pen, mobile, laptop etc. In other words, object is an ent...
