(6LO) made from miniaturiJed transistors and other circuit elements on a single
semiconductor 8ntegrated 6ircuit (86). Fefore the advent of microprocessors2 electronic 6LOs
were made from individual small:scale 8ntegrated 6ircuits containing the equivalent of only a
few transistors. Fy integrating the processor onto one or a very few large:scale 8ntegrated
6ircuit pac)ages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors)2
the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. /he evolution of microprocessors has een
)nown to follow <ooreIs ;aw when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years.
/his law suggests that the comple+ity of an 8ntegrated 6ircuit with respect to minimum
component cost will doule in aout 1- months. From humle eginnings as the drivers for
calculators2 the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over
every other form of computerP every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest
handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in

'ead the passage and answer the questions that follow on the asis of the information
provided in the passage.
Gynamic ;in) ;iraries &indows provides several files called dynamic lin) liraries (G;;s) that
contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving
a file. &hen &indows application wants to use one of those functions or routines2 the app
sends a message to &indows with the names of the G;; file and the function. /his procedure
is )nown as calling a function. 1ne of the most frequently used G;;s is &indows
61<<G;E.G;;2 which includes among others2 the functions to display File 1pen2 File 0ave2
0earch2 and Lrint dialog o+es. /he application also sends any information the G;; function
will need to complete the operation. For e+ample2 a program calling the 1pen File function in
61<<G;E.G;; would pass along a file spec2 such as 9. 9 or 9.G162 to e displayed in the
dialog o+Is Filename te+t o+. /he application also passes along a specification for the type of
information it e+pects the G;; to return to the
application when the G;;Is wor) is done. /he application2 for e+ample2 may e+pect return
information in the form of integers2 true(false values2 or te+t. &indows passes the
responsiility for program e+ecution to the G;;2 along with the parameters and the return
information the G;; will need. /he specific G;; is loaded into memory2 and then e+ecuted y
the processor. At this point the G;;2 rather than the application2 runs things. /he G;; performs
all the operations necessary to communicate with &indows and2 through &indows2 with the
L6Is hardware. After the G;; function is complete2 the G;; puts the return information into
memory2 where it can e found y the application2 and instructs &indows to remove the G;;
routine from memory. /he application inspects the return information2 which usually tells
whether the G;; function was ale to e+ecute correctly. 8f the operation was a success2 the
application continues from where it left off efore issuing the function call. 8f the operation
failed2 the application displays an error message.

6) ;oads %ust the required routine in memory and e+ecutes it
G) 0earches the location of the routine and instructs the application to e+ecute it
