WTF
this is just personal

am tired of waiting, when will the games be out , its more like a CV dump here,

lysaa:

Okay netwinch.

hmmm, nice
guess i should have gone with that   

Efemena_xy:

Seun, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee move this thread back to the programming section

@poster is conjuring up memories from school and early work life

stop cursing brother.

i honestly need to stop it, but nairaland is not helping issues

jackpot:

Focus on your expertise bro.

is this suppose to be a brotherly advise, well its appreciated

I have one problem with computer programmers

why do they keep using the incremental algorithm
x = x + 1
such equations don't make sense in Maths. Lol.
It's like saying 0 = 1

ROTFLMAO
x=x+1;
The increment operator adds 1 to its operand, is the same as x++; OR x+=1; and x = x - 1; is the same as --x;
am sure you will prefer the x+=1;

___THE STATEMENTS BELOW ARE FOR THOSE THAT WILL SURELY CRITICIZE__

Both the increment and decrement operators can either precede (prefix) or follow (postfix)
the operand. For example:
x = x + 1;
can be written as
++x; // prefix form
or as
x++; // postfix form

In the foregoing example, there is no difference whether the increment is applied as a prefix or a postfix. However, when an increment or decrement is used as part of a larger expression, there is an important difference. In this case, when the operator precedes its operand, the result of the operation is the value of the operand after the increment or decrement. If the operator follows its operand, the result of the operation is the value of the operand before the increment or
decrement. Consider the following:

x = 10;
y = ++x;
In this case, y will be set to 11. This is because x is first incremented and then its value is obtained.
However, if the code is written as
x = 10;
y = x++;
then y will be set to 10. In this case, the value of x is first obtained, x is incremented, and then the original value of x is returned. In both cases, x is still set to 11; the difference is what is returned by the operator. Here is a bit more complicated example:
x = 10;
y = 2;
z = x++ - (x * y);

This gives z the value –12. The reason is that when x++ is evaluated, it sets x to 11, but yields the value 10 (x’s original value). This means that z is assigned 10 – (11 * 2), which is –12. However, written like this: z = ++x - (x * y); The result is –11. This is because the x is first incremented and then its value is obtained. Thus, z is assigned 11 – (11 * 2), which is –11. As this example hints at, there can be significant advantages in being able to control when the increment or decrement operation takes place.

NETGHOST, look at the question kodewrita asked you.
@ NETGHOST
you should have told him why in your first post the percentages didn't add up to 100% instead of talking about percentages and improper fractions.

i would have, if he had asked in a polite manner, nairaland is becoming more of a place where u insult and embarrass people rather than gaining knowledge while having fun,

You need to work on your knowledge of mathematics/statistics.
Percentages are meant to add up to 100.

thats what i responded to

Now replying your bashy post, I don't need to prove to you that I am an authority in Mathematics. I don't teach Maths to JS and SS Students. For now, I hold group discussions for my fellow PG students. Our levels are being taught by Doctors and Profs only.

Check out my courses
Applicable Functional Analysis
Theory of Distribution and Sobolev Spaces
Topology
Advanced Optimization
Operations Research
Theory of P.D.E.
Non-linear Operators in Banach Spaces
et al.

I challenge you to give me any problem in Higher Mathematics, I would give you a solution ASAP.

Maths is my course. I am ready for your Q's. Please i am waiting. We can even YIM if you want.

Children, always trying to prove something, i no be maths teacher oh, Abeg oh dude i develop softwares for companies, build sites, when i have nothing doing i mentor people based on programming, and when am done with being a GEEK i hangout with girls and my close friends, if you think me and you will be on nairaland proving maths. , get a life

You are a subject matter expert too.

okundia ernest:

@netghost, due to the comments hav read in other threads and so on, i guess i hav to start with java, since its highly recomended by programmers in this forum, pls netghost, how do i get the tutorial u talked about? Cuz i need to start learning as soon as possible.
Thnx alot.

not C#

if you reside within lagos, you can come for it

jackpot:

you explained bullshit. You dont even know mathematics at all. Let me reply him for you. Replying>>

your just an ignorant daft, and am tired of kids trying to live of my knowledge, am sure you were not born when i was teaching maths at an advance level, your probably one of the every day morons that think they know maths because they have gone through some few textbooks or are good at given back what they are given you in school

jackpot:

percentages add up to 100% when they are mutually exclusive events of a sample space.
In other words, for instance, a bernoulli event in which there are only 2 possibilities: success or failure. There is nothing in their intersection.
In netghost's assessment, there maybe Kiddies who are Engineers and Phreaks at the same time. So the percentages overlaps themselves cos they are not mutually exclusive events.
You have gotten it or should I go further?

your completely right here, but i clearly stated that each stands as an independent variable, so pls read before you start blabbing and trying to help where you are not need,


NOTE: the answer i gave him was based on the assumption that he made that percentages must sum up to a hundred,  if you are still arguing towards that line, am sorry to say this, YOU NEED A BRAIN

i walked into a bank PHB branch and a guy was asked to stop making calls within the banking hall, his response was so loud that it left me thinking "an indoor tsunami was about to take place"
most nigerians see shouting or general raising of their voices as a way to prove points, or win arguments, if you doubt this, visit the closest bus stop next to you, and watch how touts collect money from conductor, it goes far beyond him bending his mouth to the left or right, he ensures that his voice is louder than the conductors voice
for some reasons that i honestly dont know , raising of ones voice is considered strength in nigeria, the louder you shout the stronger you are perceived to be

Pelumiv:

Sorry for my dumb question, what is the application of python language. can it be use to develop games and stuff like that.

LOL
i see nothing wrong with the question, 



1. database driven sites (using pure cgi or a framework like django)
2. games (pyGame works fine ) "though i got tired of working with it "
3. Desktop applications (The Tk GUI development library is included with most binary distributions for Python,wxWidgets)
4. musical analysis softwares like Music21
5.Reconstructor for Ubuntu and Revisor for Fedora - applications which let users customise their GNU/Linux distribution CDs - are both written in Python
6.scientific and numeric computing

if you decide to go the python way i can help you with a complete video tutor

the truth be told, a programming language is only as good as the developer

     
NOTE: C# ROCKS

@netghost. pls send me the interactive material of c# vb and java. I will most appreciate it.

sorry dude , too larrrrrrrggggggeeeeeee

Beaf:

Guy's, give up dying languages like Java, VB etc.

LOL
whats with you and the microsoft framework, i develop in c# but u love the language just too much

@Fayimora and Blacksta

please go on with the tutor, i want to see some codes

mikuz:

lysaa na bro?

LOL
just assumed she was a boy, probably why seun moved a programming thread to jokes

@lysaa,

mittjames@yahoo.com

i will give you the dumps for free, rather than using names i will prefer u use the exam codes

lysaa:

So how'd this thread pass for a joke with all this serious talk about percentages? 

LOL
no vex bro, its suppose to be in the programming section, but seun out of his wisdom decided to move it here, probably cos he saw the joke word mentioned

nolongTing:

The best programming language to start with is C

are u trying to kill him or something , there are better structured languages out there , and am sure he does not want to start with firmware programming, just incase i am wrong you can settle for ASM if you are into firmware ,

TO be more serious with you , i would advise C#, properly structured, ease to understand, and you dont have to know OOP to develop resonable softwares,
Python is another good one, thats if you want to settle for a scripting language


any one you decide to go for i can provide interractive tutors at no cost

PHP
JAVA
C#
VB.NET
ASM
C
C++
and a lot more , the decision is yours

kodewrita:


just quoting percentages makes no sense if you dont explain clearly.

BE CLEAR, thats it.

My bad i guess , i just assumed it would be taken for a joke, next time i wil be more clear

kodewrita:

i am trying my best not to get into any ignorant arguments on Nairaland, but its becoming impossible ,your above statement only proves that your highest degree was attained from a secondary school, and the years was poorly spent,


__WHAT MORE CAN I SAY__

A percentage is simply another way of writing a fraction with a denominator of 100. For example, 23% = 23/100. am sure you are aware of  improper fraction (a fraction whose numerator is greater than the denominator), such as 4/3, so you can have what we might call an "improper percentage" like 120% or 300%, which is simply 120/100,
There are situations in which a percentage greater than 100% makes no sense. EXAMPLE : james answered 134% of the question,  This makes no sense because if we received 1000 questions, we couldn't possibly answer more than all of them. 

On the other hand, sometimes percentages are used like this: "The number of questions received was up 15.7%, from 5450 in February to 6305 in March." In other words, the increase from February to March was 6305-5450 = 855, and 855 is 15.7% of 5450.

Now, what if the number of questions received went up to 14000 in April?  This would be an increase of 122% from March to April.

IN DAFT TERMS: PERCENTAGE SIMPLY MEANS DIVIDED BY 100

oga must everybody be sad on nairaland, its a simple joke with each point standing as an independent variable, am very sorry if i offended your maths history

at 10, and u are complaining imagine what she will do when she clocks 18
prayer is good, no doubt, but u need more physical actions on her, it worked for me
