lekside44:
the nigerian curriculum 2004 by nabtech stipulate basic, fortran, cobol, and pascal for ond and c pp for hnd. as 4 uni, i do not know. for me, basic should be retained 4 first year/beginners. the essen of prog in sch is not to make you a pro in one lang but intro you to the concept after all lang comes and go

Most major languages nowadays are C-based or can be extended using C. I would prefer if the average nigerian undergraduate was introduced to C.

Its easy to learn and with just 80+ basic functions, you can actually carry the basic ANSI C library in your head.


Problem: Most nigerian professors or lecturers are incompetent in C and as such they cannot give what they dont have.

Please be informed its not the "King of Osun" but a king (actually a glorified village chief) of a town call Ilowa. Probably thought he was acting Lion and the Jewel. Mscheew.

If they are that secure why is Germany moving to natural gas and planning to shut down 7 nuclear reactors:

The same song being sung by MoreHouse College in Atlanta.

They even dance like yoruba. Am so so Freaking proud of my language right now.

Finally the musical nature of the yoruba language is put to good use.

Thats Betelehemu (A yoruba christmas choral song) being sung by the African Children's Choir from Soweto.

Beautiful.

Enjoy.

read programming books regularly.

read other people's code

write comments when you code.

aim to make your code so readable that a neophyte can guess what it does by reading the names of your variables and functions.

master programming with notepad and with IDEs.

sign up with some programming blogs e.g codinghorror.com, 37signals.com etc and participate.

use subversion or other version tracking software to manage your programming.

keep a journal while programming so you can track when exactly you made errors.

use the rule of Three, when any set of lines in your code is repeated up to 3 times or more, try extracting that functionality and representing it as code.


Do some little planning before you code.

Write small test programs before attacking the main thing.

when building something, split it into small projects and tackle them one at a time (always).

Be like the proverbial carpenter who spends 6 hours sharpening his axe and 1 hour cutting it. Think hard when you start any project and try to play out all the scenarios in your head but realise that some will not survive the first keyboard click as reality has a way of distilling out the fake ideas in our minds.

Assume "the computer is okay and the error is mine unless proven otherwise".

There are solutions to every problem, be patient enough to find it.


There are no hard problems, some just require more time than others.


Finally, trust yourself and impress yourself. No one else will trust you more than you do.





FUTURE EDIT: Feels good to have your comments cited on other sites http://www.google.com/baraza/en/thread?tid=419d44914ac28757&pli=1
FUTURE EDIT 2: Baraza is gone. Ugh.

(Hard depends on context).

If he can keep the peace for more than 30 years without going to war once, he is definitely wise.

If he can build a temple so rich that current estimates make it one of the most expensive buildings ever built, he is wise.

if he can build irrigation canals and underground water wells that are still in use in palestine till this day, he is wise.

If he can institute rotational leadership (seen only in modern times with rotational EU presidency) thousands of years ahead of its time. He's wise.

If he can write the Book of Proverbs. He is wise.

A sad ending but nevertheless a blessed man of God.

@kodewrita I am not an atheist. I am born into a catholic family, even my uncle is a Bishop. I am presently a member of RCCG, Tuesday we learn digging deep in our Church Branch office. & Thursday they teach us something more. Sunday we go to Church, Our RCCG fasting period is different from the catholic 40days fasting period.

And @ the same time, I am a freethinker. I believe there is God, but how God works is something, I feel no man on earth can explain.

You have not dug deep enough. I am a former catholic too but I left because of specific differences in thinking. It is a lazy attempt to try to escape working out your salvation by requesting forgiveness for someone who has been responsible for death of so many billion humans since eden.

Dont waste your time praying for a damned entity.

jpworld:
Amen somebody!!!!! Halleluyah!!!! Amen!!!! Amen!!!! Offering time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! blessing time!!!!!

Please give unto the lord a wonderful offering, the more you give, the more u r bless. how can you invest 1000 naira in a business and expect 1million naira. U will need to give God/Jesus a beautiful offering to receive more money, Amen somebody, I need Dbanj in my church to lead the Chorus.

besides with a comment like that, i find it hard to believe that you are a true christian. You make a mockery of the same church in which you claim to be a member.

You are simply a wolf in sheep's clothing.

download codeigniter from http://codeigniter.com/.

key guys you need to follow on codeigniter issues are:

phil sturgeon-- www.philsturgeon.co.uk
elliot haughin --  www.haughin.com
Burak Guzel -- www.phpandstuff.com

Hope that helps.

You can also read posts on the codeigniter wikis. lots of issues are treated there and its more like a help section for many codeigniter libraries, plugins and helpers.

One other thing: Once in a while read the codeigniter code itself especially Base.php and Loader.php. It will do wonders as far as your PHP programming is concerned.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int a,n;
int sum = 0;
int avg;
int count;

for(count=0;a>0;++count)
{
cin>>a;
}
n = count - 1;
cout<<count<<" "<<n;

cin.get();
return 0;
}

my guess is that when you run this program:

The for loop will not work because a is 0 by default (its an integer and you have not initialised it with a value.) so it just falls through the fall loop. (a>0 is not true and hence the loop cant proceed.)

as earlier said, you can use cin.get(); or simply cin>>p;

Am tempted to write a program to do what you want but I guess this is a class assignment so I wont do that.

get a textbook and take it one line at a time.

its easy.

hmmmmnnn

jpworld:
He is the Merciful God/Jesus, he can still reverse his Judgment.It is because of the suffering Satan is facing in hell fire, that is why he is pulling and deceiving more human beings to join him in hell fire.

And God/Jesus even allow Satan to go with some of the powers to hell fire, why not withdraw those powers, so that human being can be saved.

God is not man, he does not reverse his words.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

Satan has already been judged and there is no reversal to be expected.

Christ came for us men and not for fallen angels who are already damned by heavenly judgement.

jpworld:
Amen Somebody!!!!!!!

I will be expecting your offering and tithe, you know what? If we can give more money to God/Jesus, he will forgive Satan and blesses you immediately.

All this suffering you Christians are passing through is because Satan exists. Let's give more money to God/Jesus so that he will forgive Satan and blesses us.

Listen, give with all your heart. Your 10% must be given to me, to eat on behalf of God/Jesus. Your 10% belongs to me on behalf of God/Jesus.

Don't disobey God/Jesus commandment, or else he will not forgive Satan, and make you join Satan.

I sincerely believe you are just a satirical atheist trying to make fun of the christian faith.

I pray Christ changes your mind before you recieve your just rewards.

@Beaf makes sense considering Rivers just got some oil wells back from Ak/Ibom

@Mobinga this is scary. I can definitely remember walking down paths like this in younger days. the realism is awesome.

Waiting for the Kinect version before I try anything.

All shall stand and give account before the almighty. If you do mislead people into worshipping stone figurines, streams and hills, you will give account before christ and be appropriately judged.

nna but why. 7 goals ke.


People please be god-fearing. these players are also being paid for this. why score them seven goals? Seven Goals? nna why.

probably the fear of what she could look like after 8 babies (it might happen. just saying.) and menopause.


can u imagine all that cellulite still lying around (and not sexy anymore). eeeuuuwwww.

Unfortunately for christians who would rather flirt with all manner of human philosophy, christ gave a take it or leave it proposition:

John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


Denying this (stylishly or otherwise) puts you in the camp of the anti-christ.

simple.

And the irony is you that could only regurgitate an half-baked limp attempt at sarcasm with your couple of redundant one-liner on the thread is the one highlighting someone else's one-liner, oku igbe oshi, shior You missed a spot, you still have a bit of egg on your face, arindin buruku [/quote]ode omo. amukunmeko eyan lasan lasan.

You and your cohort of anti-western dunces have spent your time trying to confuse and irritate us into believing ghadaffi's the wounded party. we are not interested in that.

Let me repeat this again in greater detail: Intelligent conversation (devoid of personal attacks. filled with calm focused refutation of arguments and mutual respect for all concerned) is above your level (characterised by paucity of sensible arguments and regular descent into low-class vernacular (across two continents)).

This is a discussion forum and we can speak Whenever and Wherever we choose to.

Guess thats not the case where you come from (Yaba Left where it seems you post on nairaland everytime you are off your pills).

Note: a one-liner is usually ONE sentence not THREE. d.u.m.b.a.s.s

@Guyman02 thanks for quoting venezuelan propaganda. we truly appreciate. even if the Waffen SS (resurrected) were the ones facing Ghadaffi, he still has to go. thats just the simple truth. besides I guess his "sub-saharan development projects" include funding the RUF, Dauda Jammeh, Idris Deby among others.

while not supporting him, i assume it will be hard to think straight if the daughter is not yet a teen and is so so violated.

I guess he really doesnt care where they put him now, all he cares is that he has sent them to the Eternal High Court for final legal proceedings.

Ivory Coast does not need elections. It needs to be divided into North and South.

the last time someone said this about Nigeria we called him a buffoon and an idiot.

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=635326.msg8021779#msg8021779 date=1301539749]Sad thing is that a lot of you can see that the majority of Ivory Coast are for Gbagbo actually. But i guess Frances only reason of getting involved in the dispute and supplying Ouattara is to provide "humanitarian aide against the Oh so brutal dictator", just like they are doing in Libya. Of course their presence in Libya has nothing to do with French interest in oil just like French involvement in Ivory Coast has nothing to do with oil, cocoa, etc. either. Wake up people, SA has been trying to speak out against bombardment by external forces.[/quote]really? and how do explain the fact that they have captured 2 big cities in how many days WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT. any shots in the air were just for attention/celebration.

@congoshine,
u sure lack what to say here now. u started with name calling down to bible quoting. now that you are back to name calling again, it is obvious u are done.
oga, next time, before you call anyone useless, be sure u are more useful than that one. but is u insist that Balotteli is useless, then u must tell us the name for those who are more useless( u and co) than balotteli.
memorian verse, DO NOT JUDGE SO THAT U WILL NOT BE JUDGED TOO.

memory verse not memorian (that word does not exist). Go back to school.

if u insist ==>correct
is u insist ==> wrong.


we find it hard to understand your inane and poorly written arguments because you still write at the primary 2 level (I wrote better than this at primary II level, guess u skipped kindergarten).


word of advice on nairaland: stick to pidgin english. its safer for you.

And after we implement it in the SW, we shall forcibly implement it in the SE


[size=2pt](sarcasm)[/size][/quote]I laugh at your wet dream.

Osun state is not Zamfara and Ekiti state&Ondo States (probably the most christian of all yoruba states) are definitely not Kano.



No sensible southwesterner will allow imposition of some stupid sharia law. The fact that most SW governors are muslim does not mean they will suceed if they try anything of that sort. thats simply asking for trouble.


Get this: NO SOUTHWESTERN YORUBA CHRISTIAN WILL AGREE TO LIVE UNDER SHARIA LAW.
