Programming › Re: What Is 1.0? by paranorman(m): 12:58pm On Oct 07, 2016
Seriously, "assumption is the major backbone of Statistics"? Forgiveable, you studied Maths.

Programmatically, 1.0 is evaluated to be 1, an integer. So is 1.00000000. So I say 1.0, tecnically, is a float.

Here's a case: 1.2 is approximately 1. So is 1.2333399999 - given that we want a whole number. This numbers satisfy some condition for approximation; the number proceeding that the last digit we want to approximate to should be 5 or more. Condition can be thrown away, as in case of 1.25666 approximated to 1.2, programmatically.

Now Imagine the condition is based on a base 2 scale?!

Mathematically, 1.0 = 1 = 1.01 approximated to 1 dec. place. (given it satisfy what our initial condition for approx.). Error is neglible, with respect to the SCOPE of enquiry and OBJECTIVES.

Conclusively, 1.0, programatically is evaluated as/to 1, except we 'state' otherwise. '0' after the dec point justs increases accuracy/precision in cases where our possible value(s) belong to a set of real numbers. So, you actually determine what the number is, given you 'created' it; as 1.0 can be 1 or 1.0112 if you don't know how it came to be.

Mathematically, we can prove this by induction.

If 1 * a = a,
and 1.0 * a = a.0 = a,
where a€R,
then 1.0 = 1.

Just as 1^0 = 1.0^0 = 1.


As for you basing my dear Statistics on Assumption, what if I told you that randomization is not random? Please sir, don't eever say such besides we 'gods' of Statistics, it makes us pity your ignorance/navity in a disconcerting way. Seriously is worrying. That's another topic for another day. Let's not derail.

Truth is, sooner or later internet wlll be cheap, then extremely cheap! There's always 2 side to a thing/invention - good and evil, and this's the prices we have to pay for our creation..

You only have a choice to make. Therefore, choose to be on the right side.

Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Proper To Pay Tithe Of The Money You Got From Gambling??? by paranorman(m): 11:32am On Oct 03, 2016
Yes o. It's also advisable to pay tithes from proceeds of Prostitution, looting, cheating, hired assassination, robbery, money ritual/blood money, thuggery and all manner of evil vices.

Do this and watch how God will bless you abundantly, and give you long-life and properity.

Infact, the ultimate price is you making heaven, hallelujah!

So, keep gambling as hard as you can, more greese to your elbows..

Optimus Prime: Autobots, it's high time we became virtual. We must hide our bodies somewhere to escape the imminent threat. We have become a threat to the existence and well-being of our hosts - the humans. But I fear I do not know where to exert our presence online.

Bubble-bee: Optimus, Nairaland is a starting place. It has lot of traffic and we can monitor events from it's front page.

Wit-wicky: sure. Just search for any thread about snakes, comment and you will be on the front page in no time! I bet my granpa's priceless glasses on that! Trust lalasticlala on that.

Education › Re: While Trump And Hillary Debated I Wept For Our Universities by paranorman(m): 7:17pm On Oct 01, 2016
After reading your piece, I just smiled. Not for pleasure though, but for a rather disconcerting course which education (in Nigeria) has treaded through, still treading through and may likely still going to thread through; and result of the conpiscuous failure, better still - failures, of the failure called our political system...

Our leaders is our curse.
I just pity the short-sightedness of the 'fans' of APC and PDP! The annoying and worrying thing is that the children of these supporters' 'saviour' school abroad, get exposure, get better opportunities, better access to wealth, power, et al. Children of the poor 'supporters' get illluck-struck, and so the cycle of 'dumminism' keeps going round it's circle, around it's axis of mental slavery.

Well, as for me, I am thinking hard; praying hard and working so I can give my kids the best, and any other person(s) whose life(lives) I can impact positively. God, this is what I want. So, give it to me!

Op, you write well. You really do, i envy your skills.
Nairaland General › Re: Alpha-numeric Phone Numbers. by paranorman(m): 3:50pm On Sep 28, 2016
Quite easy.
Just denotes the button to push on the key-pad.

First, in most cases, you gotta think of the keypad as that of a 'nokia touch light' phone, non-qwerty.

When you type messages on this keypad, you have to repeatedly press a button till you get the characters you want.

Same principle applies to the alpha-numeric numbers but this time, you only have to press the button once for each alphabet character.

Say I have 080sendText, this is equivalent to typing 08073638398.

Remember, each button of the keypad is alpha-numeric in function; i.e., each keypad has both numbers and alphabet written on them, especially numbers 2abc to 9wxyz..

So if I have Something 0803abcwxyz, it's same as 08032229999..
080-olodoBoy = 080-6563869
01-Jesus-Christ = 01-53787-347478

if you still don't understand, get a phone with non-querty keypad, look onto keypad especially key 2-9, notice how the alphabets written on the keys are arranged. You'll understand.

Christianity Etc › Re: Spirit, Soul And Body Of Man by paranorman(m):
Smallville10:
Please can any enlightened christian differenciate btw d 3 (spirit soul body). I have made research and gotten answers but i need to know if anyone can explain better
The body is just a container of the spirit and soul. Your spirit is the real you. Once the spirit leaves, the body dies. Your spirit is your life, just like Jesus is a life-giving spirit. Whatever happens to your spirit in the spiritual is made manifest in the physical realm. Before things manifest in the physical realm, it happens first in the spirit. Just like having a bad dream(about death, deliverance, blessing, evil e.t.c).

The spirit and the soul is not the same as depicted by Heb 4:12.....

Your intellect, understanding, natural human mentality, your personality, your mind are all part of your soul.

When a person gives his life to Christ, the Spirit is saved, but the soul needs to be renewed, 'made a creature'. That's a why some Christian struggle with evil thoughts, or still find it hard to be totally honest.. With the word, you renew your soul.

So, you and I are different souls.

Read the book 'how you can be lead by the spirit of God' by Kenneth Hagin; you'll fully understand the entities.
Christianity Etc › Re: Between Prayer And Efforts Which One Should Be Our Priority? by paranorman(m): 7:25pm On Sep 25, 2016

Put effort in the right direction. First, pray for direction from God,

when God gives you a go, put effort, more effort and always ask God to direct your steps else, you'd be wasting your effort doing something that's not meant for you.

hehehehehe... Your mentality is as expected.
Your view from the perspective of a consumer and I am thinking like a producer. Buy what you can afford or what makes sense to you. Your opinion will not stop people from buying the product here in Nigeria, even in this economic loophole we got ourselves in. Even as rich as Dangote is, he has got his own taste: he can't do cheap cars! ..... Maybe you're a student, maybe you still live with your parents. Maybe you're tenant, you will wanna build your own mansion to your taste and you'd probably buy Dangote cement, won't you? Or, would you?

My brother, we are from different worlds, I am a Martian.

Phone is a brand, Apple is a brand. Even if Tecno make a phone with the same spec, it won't sell at the same retail price. Branding is important. Very important. Branding with quality products and services is very important...
Programming › Re: What Is The Difference Between Runtimeexception And Exception Classes? by paranorman(op): 11:35am On Sep 22, 2016
dueal:
Typically in OOP languages that support structured exception handling(SEH) every exception is is a datatype. So to follow OOP ideas, Exception class is a general datatype to represent exceptional conditions which derived classes can inherit from to specify a more concrete exception.

RuntimeException class then is a concrete type to strictly represent runtime exceptions. It's kindof a redundant name but hey...it's there.
okay, thanks.
