Hi, I would say it is more than 120

It is. If my reasoning is correct, there are 360,000 unique ciphers. My reasoning is this: when i/j is counted as one letter and repetition is not allowed (as in Playfair), there are 25*24 = 600 possible digrams. Since each digram corresponds to one of those unique digrams, there are 600^2 = 360,000 unique Playfair ciphers (one should probably actually use 359,999 because one of the "ciphers" maps each digram to itself).

Why the number matrix in phone is of 4x3?

NOT QUITE AN ANSWER I don't know why, from a historical perspective. Possibly because it's the simplest way to arrange the keys using the tone dialing scheme. The individual keys' dialing tones are created by mixing two tones. There are three tones for the columns, and four for the rows. Each key makes a predefined combination tone.


Why library in vhdl?

A library is used to store all predefined words, keys, programs/ functions that can be used directly in VHDL programming. A number of VHDL constructs may be separately analyzed for inclusion in a design library. These constructs are called library units. The primary library units are entity declarations, package declarations and configuration declarations. The secondary library units are architecture bodies and package bodies. These library units depend on the specification of their interface in a corresponding primary library unit, so the primary unit must be analyzed before any corresponding secondary unit. Libraries are referred to using identifiers called logical names. This name must be translated by the host operating system into an implementation dependent storage name. For example, design libraries may be implemented as database files, and the logical name might be used to determine the database file name. Library units in a given library can be referred to by prefixing their name with the library logical name.


How does wireless printer connect to wireless laptop?

Some printers have a wireless adapter, but most of them don't. There are two cases. You connect the printer to a computer which has a wireless adapter, or if your printer has a lan card you can connect it to your wireless router and use advantages of wireless networking in that way.


How does 7 segment works?

A seven segment display is a device used to display numbers and letters on things such as alarm clocks. A 7 segment display is simply seven LEDs packaged in a pattern that allows numbers and letters to be displayed by illuminating different sets of LEDs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kveP66YZyKg
