Politics › Re: Acn Will Not Turn Down Ministerial Offer From Gej by blacksta(m): 12:23pm On Jun 02, 2011
Why do people like flogging a dead horse.

After meeting yesterday with GEJ- The spokes person for ACN cant remember his name clearly stated to the press that ACN was not interested in any ministerial positions - It is was on TV yesterday. Even Tinubu confirmed it himself. So i cant understand who writes these articles

Andriod and Java.

In java you write your source code and compile it into a java code using the java complier. In android things are different , you still write the java source file and compile it to java byte code using the same java compliter but at that point , you recompile it once again using the dalvik complier to Dalvik byte code. It is dalvik byte code that is then executed on the dalvik VM

Lesson 2.0

Android OS is like a cake consisting of various layers. Each layer has it own characteristics.

Android is built on top of linux. Linux is great because of it portability , security and features


Application Framework - rich environment that provides numeorus services to help you the developer get the job done. You will also find numerous java libraries built for android. You will also find many services that allows your application to tap into the phone's Senors , WIFI , GPS and so on

Example 1.2 of Psuedocode

Prompt user to enter number 1

Save input to num1

prompt user to enter number 2

save input to num2


Add num1 to num2

save addition of (num1 and num2) to sum

print sum




JAVA Equivalent


import java.util.Scanner;


public class EnterInput {

public static void main (String arg[]){

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int number1;
int number2;
int sum;

System.out.print("Enter first interger: "wink;
number1 = input.nextInt();


System.out.print("Enter second interger: "wink;
number2 = input.nextInt();

sum = number1 + number2;

System.out.printf(" Sum is %d\n", sum );

}

}


In lay terms pseudo code helps you visualise the solution before coding. grin

Lol - Before you lot hijack this thread


Continuation of Lesson 1

PseudoCode does not execute on computer but rather it helps the programmer to think out a program before writing the code.

A carefully thought out pseudocode can easily be transformed into a corresponding Java program

Lesson 1

Before writing any code , i can not over emphasis the importance of understanding the problem domain that you are attempting to model via any programming language.

tip No 1 Using Pseudo code - A compact and informal high level description of the problem domain.

or

Pseudocode is a kind of structured english for describing algorithms. It allows the designer to focus on the logic of the algorithm without being distracted by details of language syntax. At the same time, the pseudocode needs to be complete. It describe the entire logic of the algorithm so that implementation becomes a rote mechanical task of translating line by line into source code.

It is true what GEJ Is saying  - 4 years is not enough to enjoy FRESH AIR.  since you have been enjoying FRESH AIR poverty for 50 years - why are the Nigerian masses now complaining of a little 4 years.

The most important programming language to learn is the one that guaranties great career prospects just in case you plan on becoming a programmer.

tip - Right now the demand for Java developers is really scary at the moment it is ratio of almost 5 jobs to a Java person.

Ol boy see proposals - it is not easy being president - can GEJ multi task ? - I guess this is the reason why one needs surround himself with competent individuals as ministers and not using key post to settle political allies

Christianity Etc › Tax The Churches And Give The Revenue To Hungry Children by blacksta(op): 3:10pm On May 25, 2011
Billions of dollars are lost every year, plucked out of Joe and Jane Taxpayer’s pockets, because religious groups are allowed to be parasites.

No church property is taxed and so the infidel and the atheist and the man without religion are taxed to make up the deficit. - Mark Twain

Ministers of mega-churches are rolling in millions of dollars in the USA, “fleecing their flocks” to buy lavish mansions, jets, and limousines. On Sundays they preach Christian charity in their temples of excess while tithing hypnotized parishioners—but do they themselves pay their fair share of taxes?

Hell no. Christ Almighty, they do not. The hypocrite haranguers are pampered by the IRS; aided by loopholes so large one can easily drive a cathedral through.

Jesus delivered his most famous sermon on a “Mount,” i.e., dirt hill. Buddha preached in a jungle glen. Muhammad received his revelations in a dusty cave. Biblical prophets listened to Yahweh in forlorn deserts, bushes, and lonely mountains. Many were “naked in the wilderness.”

But today… America’s most popular ministers are peacocks in palaces; uplifted by organ groans, they shriek their religiosity to rapt audiences of spiritual sheep in exchange for wealth and fame. It’s capitalistic entertainment and there’s nothing illegal about it… but ethically, and obviously—the present laws are unconstitutional, anti-secular, and sinfully unjust.
