Programming › Re: 3D Animation Programming Join The Team by logica(m): 5:20pm On Oct 05, 2013
csharpjava: I want us to create an animation software more powerful than any other like Unity, for creating game's, our being able to accomplish this will help us to become world renowned game's programmers. We can create this in C#, Java or any other language we are comfortable with.

To start with here is an image, we need to split it up so that we can write codes that will join it together and then co-ordination its movement to make it walk across the screen.
Javanian: Why not something more realistic, like a game? undecided

This might not just be another fantasy project, Graphic/Animation engines involve more Physics and Mathematics than Programming. tongue
You mean, after reading that mess up there, you don't realize this dude has no clue what animation/rendering is about? huh

csharpjava: Why are you so bitter?
You told me not to "talk about what I don't know about". Now I am making it clear who does not know what he's talking about. Once again, what university did you graduate from and what was your major? If you cannot answer, I will advise you steer clear from my posts forever.
Programming › Re: How Is The Code For A Calculator (hardware), Written Into It. by logica(m): 4:22pm On Oct 05, 2013
csharpjava: Ok I see why you've been asking this question, ASUU is on strike and you need someone to lecture you, in that case I can lecture you online till your university reopens.
I am a graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University and majored in Computer Engineering. How about you?
Programming › Re: How Is The Code For A Calculator (hardware), Written Into It. by logica(m): 4:13pm On Oct 05, 2013
csharpjava: What that means is that from basic to advanced calculators all requires a:

"Permanent memory (ROM) - The instructions for in-built functions (arithmetic operations, square roots, percentages, trigonometry etc.) are stored here in binary form. These instructions are "programs" stored permanently and cannot be erased."
Hahaha...WHAT UNIVERSITY DID YOU GRADUATE FROM, IF ANY? AND WHAT WAS YOUR MAJOR?
Programming › Re: How Is The Code For A Calculator (hardware), Written Into It. by logica(m): 3:47pm On Oct 05, 2013
csharpjava: So you cannot differentiate between the two sections 'Basic pocket calculator layout' and 'Internal workings'

Internal workings has this to say:
In general, a basic electronic calculator consists of the following components:
"Permanent memory (ROM) - The instructions for in-built functions (arithmetic operations, square roots, percentages, trigonometry etc.) are stored here in binary form. These instructions are "programs" stored permanently and cannot be erased."
So in that layout of a basic calculator, did you see keys for trigonometry and other functions? Which takes us to, what kind of calculator is a JAMB calculator? Is it a basic calculator (without functions) or is it a scientific "calculator" that has various functions like trigonometry and number series, etc?

Again, which university did you finish from and what was your major?
Programming › Re: How Is The Code For A Calculator (hardware), Written Into It. by logica(m): 12:47pm On Oct 05, 2013
csharpjava: Can't you see the word basic below. For you information, information technology on Wikipedia is correct and upto date

In general, a basic electronic calculator consists of the following components:
Power source (battery or solar cell)
Keypad - consists of keys used to input numbers and function commands (addition, multiplication, square-root, etc.)
Processor chip (microprocessor) contains:
Scanning unit - when a calculator is powered on, it scans the keypad waiting to pick up an electrical signal when a key is pressed.
Encoder unit - converts the numbers and functions into binary code.
X register and Y register - They are number stores where numbers are stored temporarily while doing calculations. All numbers go into the X register first. The number in the X register is shown on the display.
Flag register - The function for the calculation is stored here until the calculator needs it.
Permanent memory (ROM) - The instructions for in-built functions (arithmetic operations, square roots, percentages, trigonometry etc.) are stored here in binary form. These instructions are "programs" stored permanently and cannot be erased.
User memory (RAM) - The store where numbers can be stored by the user. User memory contents can be changed or erased by the user.
Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) - The ALU executes all arithmetic and logic instructions, and provides the results in binary coded form.
Decoder unit - converts binary code into "decimal" numbers which can be displayed on the display unit.
Display panel - displays input numbers, commands and results. Seven stripes (segments) are used to represent each digit in a basic calculator.
From same Wikipedia:

Basic pocket calculator layout
MC M+ M- MR
C ± ÷ ×
7 8 9 -
4 5 6 +
1 2 3 =
0 .
MC Memory Clear
M+ Memory Addition
M- Memory Subtraction
MR Memory Recall
C Clear display (last entered number, whereas CE: Clear everything, start all over again)
± Toggle positive/negative number
÷ Division
× Multiplication
- Subtraction
+ Addition
. Decimal point
= Result
So which is which? Only those who then went to a proper university can tell which is which. So which university did you graduate from? And what was your major?
Programming › Re: How Is The Code For A Calculator (hardware), Written Into It. by logica(m): 11:56am On Oct 05, 2013
csharpjava: But why all these abuse over a question I have answered with proofs from the website of wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator howstuffworks and from an online book.

What Journals or books have you written to show that you are an expert in this field. You guys still have a along way to go.
I, like PhenomenonVX spent many hours designing and implementing logic circuits at the university and the most trivial of them was a basic calculator.

The reason I asked what university you went to was because I was sure you didn't go to any. Or you did not study computer engineering which would mean you lack proficiency on this matter and you shouldn't be feeling among.

Here is another of your posts that show your ignorance:
"To do this a code like C is embedded into that sheet."
What silliness! How can you even embed code into a printed circuit? If there is any code anywhere, then it would be in an IC (integrated circuit) and not on the sheet.

Lastly, even the Wikipedia page you quoted has the layout of a basic pocket calculator (without functions). Once you have functions, the calculator is no longer "basic". If you studied Computer Science, you would have been told that a computer is made up of input, output and processing units. And what differentiates a calculator from a computer is the absence of a processing unit in the former. And the only way a computer can run a program is using its processor. Meaning if a device does not have a processor, it cannot run programs. Once an electronic device had a processing unit, it has graduated to a computer.

End of CSC203.

csharpjava: Read this to know that calculators have codes in them:
Correction
Today, in addition to modern versions of the basic pocket calculator, complex scientific and graphing calculators are available and used by both students and professionals such as engineers. Many use well-known computer languages and are programmable according to the user's needs. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/other-gadgets/calculator1.htm
And is the JAMB calculator a scientific calculator or graphing calculator? Do you know how to read?

So you have to be signed by Barca to be world class? For your info, the Ajax set he played with defeated the AC Milan that had destroyed Barca 4-0 in the previous final of the Champions League to be champions themselves.

csharpjava: To do this a code like C is embedded into that sheet. For how the hardware works then we are going into electronics i.e. logic gates and these are used by the logical operator of your code i.e. &&, OR, || etc hope this helps.
Dude, there is no code. The first thing you learn as a computer science major is a basic calculator is not a computer. It is just an electronic device. Don't confuse the novice please.

Artorius: please sir kindly explain more, i ain't getting the gist.
I am taking you to the basics of computing: logic gates and circuits. Binary, 1s and 0s. OFF and ON. The fact is logic circuits are the foundation of computing. And any program you can think of writing can be implemented in ALL hardware as logic circuits though this could be quite complex and almost impossible to achieve. Software came about as a result of the inflexibility and complexity of logic circuits. If you need to know more about logic circuits, I suggest you get on Google as I cannot give a comprehensive treatise here.
Programming › Re: How Is The Code For A Calculator (hardware), Written Into It. by logica(m): 10:23am On Oct 03, 2013
Lol. There is NO code if it is a simple calculator. Simple logic gates/circuits are all it takes to implement trivial functions like basic math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

[quote author=A-40]With the way you guys go on one would think decisions don't go Barca's way frequently as well[/quote]How about we start by you telling us when Real Madrid last conceded a penalty versus awarded a penalty and compare with Barca. Then tell us who is favored. Or you want us to believe Real Madrid's defense is so good that they never concede penalties?

I can assure you off the cuff that the 2 penalties awarded against Barca within the last 3 weeks would never have been awarded against Real Madrid as they were simple 50/50 soft fouls.

[quote author=A-40]When Bale or Ronaldo goes to ground at the slightest contact and wins a penalty you guys should not sha complain
.
I'm quite sure if the contact merited a red card Neymar would not need such a terrible acting job to sell it[/quote]Apples and oranges please. Neymar had already been fouled and was on the turf; but the thug (as is usual with those silly Brits who think the game of football should be played by thugs and bar brawlers like John Terry) felt it necessary to try to dig a toe poke into his back. Yes indeed he did not make full contact but the intent was right there. And guess what, the ref was right there to see it. How do you then compare that to your standard Ronaldo dive? Indeed if there was ever any attempt to kick or stamp Ronaldo while he lay prostrate on the floor (after a dive), I doubt any ref would hesitate to issue a red card (reaction or no reaction).

Oh by the way, didn't Pepe get away with a similar action; stamping on Messi's hand after he had hacked him to the ground? So, you expect every thug that plays Barca to get away with their spiteful digs, stamps and kicks?

joanpinkie: I always warn our young men to be careful how they use and dump girls. Because not all of them has a forgiving heart like I do.
Who knows what led to his death.
First you insinuate he was killed by a woman he jilted, then you "rhetorically" wonder what led to his death. Well, a million and one possibilities. So because he got killed 3 weeks after wedding? How about those who died even on the very day they got married yet it was coincidence? In any case, if your belief that he was killed by a jilted lover makes you feel better (because apparently you have also been jilted) feel free. It won't stop the next man from jilting you. smiley

AjanleKoko: I think you need to list them, cos I am very familiar with said game, and I know the way the team plays.

I think you need to play more Football Manager.
Or at least read the book 'Inverting the Pyramid - Handbook of Soccer Tactics'. Or spend more time on zonalmarking.net.
You would realise that, unless you are fortunate to have played the game at a particular level, these movements are not just discretionary. Football of today, moves are planned before the actual execution on this pitch.

People like Capello who are referring to Xavi as the most influential midfielder of this era know what they are saying.
I should list them? I take that as a joke. But the second part of your post is what is more sensible. Yes, I have played football; and I used to be a winger. I can feel the frustration of wingers when they make a run (after having freed up and got an advantage on their marker) and the pass doesn't come. Next time you are watching a Barca game, count how many times Pedro makes a run and the pass doesn't come, and check his body language (looking up into the sky with disappointment).
