I'm an engineering student at UNIZIK and intend to transfer to a university in canada. I'm currently undecided on which university to apply to in order to continue my engineering education. I would be really glad if someone could recommend a university based on affordable tuition, low cost of living in the university location and acceptable standard of living. I would also like to know the CGP requirement for such international transfers. thank you in advance for your answers

Tanx!!
Anoda question!!

Please what do u make of this jquery code;

<div id="Antoni"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function()
{
$("#Antoni".text('"My Name"');
});
</script>

first of all i will advice you test run ur codes your self to see what it does.. That way you learn faster.

You are trying to input the value "your name" to the text value of the div with id "Antoni". The # is a css selector used to reference IDs.

ANTONINEUTRON:
Please OP i will you to explain to me about
ALGORITHM??

An algorithm is a finite sequence of step you take when solving a problem it doesnt have to be in any programming language and it can just be plain english. Let say you want to write an algorithm to check the minimum of two number you can do something like this.

1. Enter first number.
2. Enter second Number.
3. Is first number greater than second number?
4. If yes return second number else return first number.

Also there are many ways you can write a single algorithm, it all depends on how you think it

Well, i'm also working on a christmas scene that involves a sleigh, some snow, and a pot bellied santa(wish i could pull this off).
But meanwhile, as a side project, i have this interrogation room. Comments and criticism are welcome. Infact i'm begging for comments and criticism. It's more of a test for my texturing and lighting skills. Rendered at 900 samples and still don't know what to do about those fireflies

P.S: Boss Tos87, i sight you. I like the festive mood your lighting induces in my brain. It stimulates my olfactory lobes so much that i can smell christmas. Personally, i see nothing wrong with your scene. But don't listen to me, what do i know??
Boss wilson, this your character is getting finer by the day. Just gimme her phone number and we're best buddies for life . In other words, I LOVE HER!!! Keep up tha good work Boss.

Another P.S: you'll also find attached to this post a copy of my attempt at architecture

who can please enumerate some simple steps on how create game

First of all ANTONINEUTRON i am not a game developer, and also nothing good comes easy, but i decided to give you information to point you in the right direction. Here is a link to a couple of game development engines which you need to start developing real games.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines you have to go through them, and make a choice on the one that's best for you.

func was defined on line 1. That snippet is from Douglas Crockford's book

https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/javascript-the-good/9780596517748/ch04s08.html

Hi Nmeri17 i visited the site you added.. you seem to have all the codes there i don't seem to understand what exactly you want me to explain to you.

Nmeri17:
^^^ I guess you're viewing on mobile. White space is set to nowrap on the code tag. Quote that code so you can see it properly. It's not incorrect

On an off topic, I totally agree with your personal text

Come how dyu even cope with your mentions

nnah, my brother, the mentions tire me ooh. Sometimes i get up to 8 mentions from totally random topics. I never knew there were so many incorrect things in this world until i opened this account. I just wanted something without numbers behind it.

Nmeri17:
Almost through with it sha but see this one

 var walk_the_DOM = function walk(node, func) { func(node);
node = node.firstChild;
while (node) {
walk(node, func);
node = node.nextSibling;
}
};

first of all the point i highlighted in bold in your code seem to be an error. Their is no function as Func() in javascript(except its your function which i cant see its definition). Also at the end you wrote "node=node.nextSibling". I guess you want to return the current node to the calling function which you can achieve using a "return node;".OR Tell me what you want to iterate through let me write you a copy of the code.

Nmeri17:

 var walk_the_DOM = function walk(node, func) { func(node);

};

your code isnt right you seem to be calling a function from within itself. I guess you want to iterate through html elements?

Nmeri17:
Thank you OP. I wish you paid that much attention to recursion rather. Anyways, Shalom

sorry if my explanations were a bit hazy. Is there a particular question about recursions you want to ask so i know how to help you out?? You know it's hard to teach when you're not following a scheme

are you well at all? If you scroll to the top of the thread, you'll see that the title contains "WEB DEVELOPMENT". What does manual data management have to do with Web development?? Do you store Web data in your cupboard?? Stop trying to be a Mr smarty pants if you have nothing useful to contribute to the thread. And don't derail my thread.

ANTONINEUTRON:
Need YUR help!!!
I will like to become a Computer Scientist!
So i will like you to help me enumerate
what job a computer scientist does
Which subject to register and be good when registering
Best university to study computer science in nigeria
HELP? HELP?? HELP !!

computer science is a very broad field. There are a lot of branches in computer science which you can major in, eg: programming, web developing, database administration, system administration, project managing, Graphics design, infact everything that has to do with computers and computing.
.
I'm assuming the purpose of this question is for you to make the right choice when registering for your JAMB exam. You can choose mathematics, english, physics and chemistry. But if you're not very good at chemistry, you can always replace it with geography or some other science related course.
.
I don't think there's any BEST university for studying computer science in Nigeria. It all depends on how much interest you put in and how far you're willing to go to acquire knowledge. Basically, it all boils down to YOU.

please why not create a whatsapp group i think that will be better as for me

i thought of that too bro. But i'm too busy for whatsapp groups. Nairaland allows me drop in once in a while when i have time to spare. But whatsapp groups needs constant attention which i don't have the time to give.

Why evuls nah?? Infact, lets ask Amadioha to decide who owns the land

1. can Inherit variables from the parent scope with use keyword
<?php
$message = 'hello';

// No "use"
$example = function () {
var_dump($message);
};
echo $example();

// Inherit $message
$example = function () use ($message) {
var_dump($message);
};
echo $example();

Goodday Bro, i'm sure nairaland's programming section is not yet full. There is still space for you to create your own topic instead of hijacking mine . Helping out once or twice is okay, shoving me outta da thread isn't.you didn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge the owner of the thread .No offense

Nmeri17:
Mbok can you explain how recursion and closures work

while closures are functions that can be accessed from other funtions

JAVASCRIPT EXAMPLE

var me = function(){
this.name = Kola
this.age= 12
this.profile = function(){
return this.name + ' ' + this.age;
}

}

var profile = function(){
alert(me.profile())
}
from this example the closure is the profile function in the ME function

Nmeri17:
Mbok can you explain how recursion and closures work

recursions are functions that keep on reoccurring untill a particular conditions have been met. I will give you a simple javascript example of a recursive program to count.

For(i = 1; i <= 10; i++){

console.log(i)

}
from the above this function occurs 10 times and each time it occurs provided its less than/equal to 10 it increments by 1(i++).

Thanks!! I have a question!!

I have been trying to create a comment box for my wapka site.
I don't like htmlcommentbox.com* it dont even work.
I tried joining two html text box, all to no avail!!
Do have any idea on how to generate a native comment box

hi antonineutro. i wish i could help you with this. Sorry i cant answer this question. I dont do wapka sites

Teempakguy:
sorry for going going awol, guys.
i'm back now, temporarily.


yes, you are correct in your first paragraph.

answer to your second paragraph, for the wings, the best idea is . . . . carbon fibre. i know, how expensive that is . . . and for the feathers, well, that will need more research. also, i think icarus' wings were actually made out of wax.

yes you're right in your last paragraph as well.




wow, dude. you're surely on my list. all these are awesome ideas. bro.


please take a lot of time to think, sire.

er . . . thanks . . . ?

ehm..icarus' wings were made of feathers (which he picked from the beach of the island where they were imprisoned) glued with wax. So when he flew too close to the sun, the wax melted and the induvidual feathers fell off. But we're not here to argue greek mythology, are we??

ANTONINEUTRON:
what type of program is Nairaland running on

hi antonineutron sorry i have been busy.. So i didnt see your question earlier. Nairaland is running on SMF(simple machine forum) which is a like a template for creating forums like this.

Teempakguy:
very good submission sir. ;Dhehehehe. i'm actually getting worried about him though.
.
actually, jet packs are an essential addition to any reasonable ornithopter. hopefully, the reason for this will become more apparent later.
actually, wings that are attachable to the arms is a complete NO GO. a very unwise idea. really. not only do humans have ridiculously small muscle power to weight ratio, we also don't possess the muscle adaptation for flight. as in, we can't flap like the birds.
.
again, this is my premise. bird wing motion is highly complex. i took time to study some slow motion videos of birds in flight and and it's more like they're clapping than flapping their wings. anyway, humans don't have the strength or skill to do this. so, machines. sir!
.
this is where the jet pack comes in. you see, the main problems with jet packs today is that they use all the fuel for thrust. that's highly consuming. as a result. there are actually no jet packs really. what you have are rocket packs. which don't last very long in the air. but what if we could divert the energy into powering wings which are by far more efficient, while using the jetpack system to stabilize. if modelled well enough with fluid dynamics, we can achieve, with thrust, what birds achieve by flow manipulation.
.
this is a really good point. but as you know, we scientist are tasked with finding ways to use disadvantages to our benefits. consider an artificial keel bone like structure under the chest of the human while in flight. this would provide a lot of streamlining, as well as a reflective surface in order to alert people that they are in the air, while also housing any component we deem fit to insert into it.
.
yes they do . . . but consider the flying dinosaurs. they were a lot heavier and a lot bigger than humans and they flew. the problem here is not density but the overall weight.
.
oh come on.
the intention is to build a machine powered ornithhopter (still can't spell the damn name.) the wings will be controlled to a high precision flapping by using state of the art powerful processors that take up almost no space. the stabilization will be provided via an onboard jet system which just sucks in air all the damn time and expels it in a direction where symmetry is lacking. hence we have a fairly great system.

what do you think of that?

so, if i understand you correctly, you intend to use micro controllers to give the wings a beating pattern, then use a jet propulsion system that takes in air from one direction and expels it in the other direction as a flight stabilizer to perform the function of the tail feather??
.
What are you using for your wings?? Please don't tell me you're using real feathers like the case of icarus and dedalus.
.
I don't think it can be entirely mechanical either. I've never heard of any jet system that doesn't need a power source. I think they use motors with uniquely shaped blades. Correct me if i'm wrong

*walks in, sights the guy talking about dead inventors and laughs hysterically*
.
You want to fly with wings, ehn?? That was one of the things i wanted to do as a child until i discovered "JET PACKS". But for the purpose of this thread, let's go back to wings.
Really, it depends. d'you want mechanical wings with a power source OR d'you want wings that are attachable to your arms??
Personally, i think the former is your best bet when it comes to flying.
.
Wing motion doesn't just go up and down(the way you used to mimic birds as a kid). At a point, you'll have to combine the downward stroke with the backward stroke. You can only hope to make at most 10 of this stroke before your arms get sore.
.
And again, birds have tail wings that act as flight stabilizers. As a human, you can't have your legs dangling behind you as you fly(wouldn't look professional, LOL). These tail feathers help to balance wind currents and also steer the birds. Without this as a human, you'll probably be tossed around like a pingpong ball by air currents.
.
Then there's the problem of body shape. Birds have streamlined bodies and sharp beaks all in a bid to overcome air resistance. Humans are broad and dumpy, so there's no way we're getting in the air
.
Birds generally have lighter framework, due to the fact that their bones are hollow. You can use a bird bone as toothpick, while a human bone will most probably knock your teeth out
.
These are just a few reasons why attaching wings to your arm won't work. And your best bet remains the mechanical wings with a power source. But the ultimate bane of all great inventions(the cellphone included) still remains a reliable power source.

ANTONINEUTRON:
what is a database??

i will make it as simple as possible. A database or DBMS(database management system) is a software used to manage data/records. It involves being able to create, retrieve, update and delete data/record while making sure that there is consistency & atomicity(not having duplicates) etc hope this is ok.. Feel free to ask more if you dont understand

Teempakguy:
exactly.

1. the very idea of intelligence is undeterminable. we cannot actually determine someone's true intelligence.

2. physics isn't IQ tasking. it doesn't "require" more IQ to be successful in it. the thing however, with physics is that the very concept of it promotes thinking. like timonski himself said, physics requires abstract thinking. engineering doesn't, really. physics is the home of unsolved problems, discarded theories, and thought experiments proven wrong. this is the testament to the very nature of physics. thought. some of the topics that require thinking in engineering are in fact physics problems.

3. I understand your viewpoint. nevertheless, i want you to understand mine. physics is the home of people with curiosity for the universe's secrets. engineers make things. physicists think things. and it's readily apparent what field attracts more intelligent people. most physicists intend to become professors in the long run. such is not the case for engineers. they are more usually thinking of making money. the fact that you are intelligent, doesn't mean that your course is the home to intelligent people.

4. physicists on average are more intelligent than engineers on average. however, in every case, there are exceptions to the rule.

your second point- by agreeing that physics is not iq tasking, you also agree to the fact that it doesn't need smarter people to learn it(you just need to be motivated and own a brain), right??
To your 3rd point- LOL @ physics attracting professors and engineering attracting money-minded people. Personally, i think the reason why there are more professors in the field of physics is their inability to practice. So they just strive for the highest academic level and end up as professors. Once in a while, a bright chap amongst them wins an award for some 'life changing' theory.
But as an engineer, why would i be concerned with teaching when i can practise and still be paid good money for doing it?? I think any sane man existing in the Nigerian economy would pick the later.
And on your 4th point- i comment my reserve.
