[quote author=omo_to_dun link=topic=715008.msg8743213#msg8743213 date=1311033218]Yet your website(at least, the forum) and this one were fully coded in PHP. What an irony.[/quote]Lol ma ma whole website is using php as its server side scripting language(gonna re-implement in rails wen am less busy),  But when i say software i mean Desktop software and not petty apps like ma site

Naaa leave pharmacy out of it, Am talking about CS and SE

Wow i love this

The thing is you can take software engineering in different ways. Ok now i can say its not really under CS but its most definitely a part of CS or to be on a safer side EECS. Also yes I can still say am studying software development because its a module am taking for a whole year and it takes to space for 3 modules. Also, some of what u have above are in ma course outline, some i have taken and others yet to. Also, where is the outline coming from?

Offtopic:
I realised that most universities don't offer Software engineering as a course on its own and when i asked i got this and i quote "Its a tragic waste of time". Why should you just study software engineering when you can study CS, where you study SE and at the end when you take a masters, you can still improve your SE skills by adding an advanced part of it to your selected modules? For me I also think its a bloody aste of time.lol. csharpjava or omo_to_dun tell me you are actually gonna waste useful years of your life studying "SE"!

Ok now thats wat i call AWESOME! Happy someone is working with me,  Please edit your post and give the full acronyms of each abbreviation you have on your diagram

I have just opened our repository. You can fint it here.

Raw Link: https://github.com/fayimora/Banking-System

Wexelion:
I want to learn computer programming

Ok cool,

Wexelion:
(all programming languages)

Not impossible but impossible. Do you have ny idea how many programming languages they are :d Ok make use of the links i posted above. I mean this link. I posted something there so read it up and see if it helps

csharpjava:
Wrong software engineering is not a sub-course under Computer science. Software engineering is by itself. You cannot say B.sc Pharmacy is a sub-course under B.sc Medicine, though they overlap but they are not the same.

Hmmm I study software engineering and am a CS student

Wexelion:
If i choose to study cs do i get to study all the sub-courses or have to be specific. E.g i have to choose a sub-course,as in it's either i take programming or any other.

Lol man what exactly do you want?

Yes

Ok i just did some UML's so i need more input, here is the link,

If you are good with UML's then send me your gmail account so i can give you access to edit the diagrams. Note i drew them with simple shapes so ignore UML conventions for now,

Hmm ok it seems everyone would prefer going straight to coding rather than going through the development process. Ok no problem but unfortunately we still need a design, so am gonna start and you guys should get ready to pump in ideas, Also you should get familiar with using git/github as thats going to be our repository as-well-as version control system

Yeah no one programs procedural in java because its an OOP lang(apart from the small programs), but hey bits of OOP are formed by a procedural knowledge. I have the lectures on my system and i never get tired of them. Maths can be a NaughtyWoman but man i think you should go back to it, lol

Fact but i always preach something. Take java for instance, for you to understand algorithms fully you must follow a pattern. FIrst you need to understand procedural programming. Then you need to understand Object Oriented programming before even thinking of algorithms, Its just like trying to run when you have never crawled

You gat 1 here ;d. Havent really had time for AS since January but i wrote a few mxml code for a friend,

A destructive method changes the object. As i said, in this case let the object be the array. This example might be a little bit difficult explaining by typing down words so i would use an easier one. [b]Consider writing a method that returns an array in which each element is `n` times the corresponding element in the array that was passed.[/b]So lets write 2 methods, one to do it destructively and another to do it constructively.

A constructive way

static int[] getAfterC(int[] numbers, int n)
	{
		int[] b = new int[numbers.length];
		for(int i=0; i<b.length; i++)
			b[i] = numbers[i]*n;
		return b;
	}

What makes this constructive? I have not altered anything in the array "numbers".  What happens if you call this method 10 times? Find out!

A destructive way:

static int[] getAfterD(int[] numbers, int n)
	{
		for(int i=0; i<numbers.length; i++)
			numbers[i] = numbers[i]*n;
		return numbers;
	}

In this case we have altered the array 'numbers'. What happens if you call this method 10 times? Find out!

On a final note, are arrays passed by value or reference?

1 question, dont you have to explain your project to a chain of professors?? Sorry dunno how the NIgerian system works!

dats destructive, jst as mine above is . To have a constructive solution, then the object should be messed with

binkabir:
it seems that in NL programming section only a few use PHP and 99% use java. 

who develops software with php?? lol When it comes to web programming i think most people say 98%use php which is sad

Take a look at this thread


LOCKED

Programming is a module under programming, tho is practically 50% of CS. If you want to study computer science then start by reading this to make sure you know what you are going into.

In terms of programming, correct me if am wrong but Nigerian schools aren't practical(gathered from what people say here). I posted something in this thread. You might wanna have a look.

I dnt think i wanna be working with strange people every single day, so who exactly am I working with?

Hahahha it ain't gonna be easy man. Been working on a web app(rails) recently so its been taking ma time. Are we using Java? Just to take advantage of graphics,

KoolPitt:
I think this should be on the constructive side.

private static int GetClosest(int[] array, int target)
{
ArrayList difference = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
difference.Add(Math.Abs(array[i] - target));
}

return array[difference.IndexOf(difference.ToArray().Min())];
}

Don't know if this works(havent tested) but the question says using arrays . An ArrayList wouldn't be appropriate here,

@naija_swag. Just like omo_to_dun said I wasn't looking for a working solution.  The question specifically said 1 method and if you don't supply one method then you havent answered the question.

Here is a possible solution:Its done destructively so would still leave the constructive part to anyone.

static int closestNum(int[] numbers, int target)
	{
		int currentClosest=numbers[0];
		int lowest = Math.abs(target - currentClosest);
		
		for(int i=1; i<numbers.length; i++)
		{
			int difference = Math.abs(target - numbers[i]);
			if(difference == 0)
				return numbers[i];
			if(difference < lowest){
				currentClosest = numbers[i];
				lowest = difference;
			}
		}
		return currentClosest;
	}

Constructively - dont change the initial object;
Destructively - you can destroy and rebuild the initial object;

by object here am referring to the array,

Also theres a lot of redundancies in ur code, You are supposed to just supply a method that takes an array and number as parameters. Nothing more!

hmmmmmm

My pleasure

Cool

Write a static method which takes an array of integers and an integer (the “target”) and returns the integer in the array which is closest to the target.
Let array be {19, 9, 30, 47, 5, 10, 20, 36, 21, 11, 13}
So if the target is 25 and the array is the method should return 21.

A lil bit intermediate: Please only attempt if you have gotten the one above,
Write one method that does this constructively and another that does it destructively

m ryt here,,,pissed off

This code you have here is too much so i ddnt read it. however what you want to accomplish is easy but let me make sure i understand it first. You have a software and you want to have a login panel. So anyone who wants to acces that software has to login. Ok cool.

Just have a simple class that creates a frame and does your validation. Make sure you set undecorated to true. When the user logs in, then you call a constructor that loads up the main frame, destroying the login frame. If you implement it like this then the user would see a small frame(probably 300 X 300) and after validation returns true, the form disappears automagically and yaay we have our main frame loaded up.

If you are already using the JDK7, there is a new way I "invented" taking advantage of the JLayer and "on the spot" validation.Its fr way 'cooler' but lets leave that for now.

Errrm unfortunaely i realy dont know python so what was ur result with the word 'rum' and 'fayimora'
