Name two advances made by Indian mathematicians without which computers would be impossible today.
Zero's and algorithms are two advances made by Indian mathematicians.

is that all that I should put? because it does say "Short answer" in bold above the question.
Also I know I asked about getting banned or getting some kind of punishment on this website. But could you be punished if you didn't break the rules. Like I use this website under the name "a dog" and my friend and I are both use the same name on the same pc.
Why do you and your friend use the same name and the same pc?
If you follow the rules -- and basically follow the rules of most school classrooms, you'll be find.
His parent's won't let him get a pc. He goes to public school, I do cyberschool. And whenever he has the chance he'll come over and use my computer for games or to use the internet for homework.
And thanks again Ms. Sue! Have a great day!
You're welcome, a dog. Thanks -- and you, too.
That answer is good i think.
Yes, for a short answer, you correctly mentioned two advances made by Indian mathematicians that are essential for modern computers: the concept of zero and the development of algorithms.
To provide a more detailed answer, you could explain further:
1. Zero: Indian mathematicians, particularly Brahmagupta in the 7th century, introduced the concept of zero as a numerical placeholder. This revolutionary idea allowed for the representation of numbers and mathematical operations in a positional numeral system. Without zero, the binary system used in computers today, as well as many other numeral systems, would not be possible.
2. Algorithms: Indian mathematicians, including Aryabhata in the 5th century, made significant contributions to the development of algorithms. An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or a set of instructions to solve a specific problem or perform a task. Algorithms are crucial in computer programming as they form the basis for solving complex problems efficiently. The mathematical techniques and methods developed by Indian mathematicians laid the foundation for algorithmic thinking and problem-solving processes used in modern computer science.
Regarding your second question about potential punishment on this website, it's always important to follow the rules and guidelines of any website or community you are a part of. Using the same name on the same device with your friend is generally not an issue as long as you both abide by the terms and conditions of the website. However, it's recommended to check the specific rules and policies of the website or platform you are using to ensure you comply with their guidelines and avoid any potential issues.
