let's stop wallowing in ignorance.
all the formulas or arithmetic procedures we learnt in our sciences may not be directly applied in the real world but is invariably an aid to cognitive thinking in solving life problems.
the earlier we see mathematics as this, the better and simpler it becomes.

North Korea is its own world in many ways. Now, it is getting its own time zone to match.

State news agency, KCNA, has announced that North Korea will set its clocks back by 30 minutes to "Pyongyang time" on August 15--the 70th anniversary of liberation from Japan.

That will reset the time to GMT+08:30, as it was before Japanese colonization.

"The wicked Japanese imperialists committed such unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its standard time while mercilessly trampling down its land with 5 000 year-long history and culture and pursuing the unheard-of policy of obliterating the Korean nation," KCNA reported on Friday.

New time zone could 'cause some problems'

North Koreans already have their own calendar. Instead of counting from the birth of Christ, they count from the birth of founding leader, Kim Il Sung. Kim was born in 1912 -- known in North Korea as Juche 1, making this year Juche 104.

The new time will put Pyongyang half an hour behind Tokyo and Seoul.

South Korean Unification Ministry spokesman, Jeong Joon-hee told a briefing on Friday that could cause some problems.

"Some difficulties are likely to come in inter-Korean exchanges, including flows to and from the Kaesong Industrial Complex," he said.

Jeong added it could have negative effects on inter-Korean integration in the long-term.

Electrical engineers should take note of this question before going for an interview or practical aptitude test. if you do not know 85% of the answers now as your reading it for the first time then you have work to do on yourself. Because of the nature of our university system(un experience lecturers with little or know industrial knowledge) and poor industrial training program, most of us graduated without knowing that these questions are the key to nailing any interview in electrical power section(instrument and process control will come later).
i can only vouch for AEIT for now wrt practical training.

1= What is the different between a solid state relay and an electromagnetic relay.
2= Why is it that an electrical motor using 480VAC is runs on a star/delta circuit.
3= Draw the control and the power diagram of a direct online motor.
4= What is single phasing of a 3 phase motor.
5= What is the function of a relay, contactor,and overload relay in a motor circuit.
6= what is the full meaning of MCB,MCCB and OLR
7= Name five part of an AC motor
8= Know your motor calculation, viz a viz slip. efficiency, speed.
9= How do you reverse the direction of a DC motor.
10=How do you reverse the direction of an AC motor.
11=what are the causes of a motor overload.
12=The speed of a motor is determine by what two factors
13=What is the different between synchronous and asynchronous motor.
14=Explain the operation of an induction motor.
15=How effective are you in the use of megger meter and analog/digital meter.
16=What are the different type of motor overload protection devices and how are they connected. such as fuses, OLR, MCB, MCCB, phase failure device, under current device, etc.
17=what do you understand by Power factor correction, what are the types of power factor correction and why is power factor correction important. etc.
18= Add more electrical motor question that you have come across in the interview.

everything having being said is know your motor, transformer and practical basic electricity very well.
note that you do not need to answer all the questions being asked in an interview but you need to answer a quite number of the question asked to your best, keep it simple and clear but before you get to this stage, your cv should speak for you.
consult other trends to learn how to write a very good cv.

i have 4 pdf and an electrical maintenance video to give out to those who want it. i have had my day, struggle to get here, made sacrifices, waited resources in search of practical electrical knowledge. the key is NEVER GIVE UP. [size=18pt]one of your best aid to learning is www.youtube.com
there are so many short videos to explain most interview question.[/size]

Singapore1:
my opinion though
why dont you add

if ( GPA>= 2.80)
printf(" UPPER CREDIT"
bla bla bla like that

ok
i will add that... it's gonna be cool

kudaisi:
You are welcome, let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

It worked.
Pls can a function contain different variable data types i.e a float and integer in the same function?

kudaisi:
This should solve the course unit not showing problem. Add a space before %c in scanf. This will allow scanf to skip any number of white spaces before reading choice
so this

19. printf("enter course%d grade:units \n",i+1);//prompts user to enter course grade and credit units
20. scanf("%c\t%d",&grade,&a[i]);//stores the grade in the variable 'c' and units in the array 'a'

will become

printf("enter grade for course%d \n",i+1);
scanf(" %c",&grade);
printf("enter units for course%d \n",i+1);
scanf(" %d",&a[i]);

NOTE THE SPACES in scanf statements

Another observation that line 17 and 18 are totally unnecessary. Since you can simple use a[i] in the switch cases line 24 for example will be

sum=sum+a[i]*5; instead of sum=sum+y*5;

Finally, you not get the output GPA you want because you divided the total sum by the number of course (n) rather than the sum of all unit in array a[] to get the GPA on line 42

gpa=sum/n;

should be

int x;
int total_points;
for (x = 0; x < n; x++){
	 total_points = total_points + a[i];
}

Tnx a lot sir.
I will effect the correction

proxy23:
No cout; or cin in 33 to 37 rewrite it again and u end the program with a comment instead of}
You the comment at the heading should be like this 1. /*
2. * c program to calculate GPA (Gpa.cpp)
3 */
22, 38, and 40 is invalid
After #include <stdo> h // needed to perform IO operations
Put
using namespace std; // Also needed for <string>

it's a c program not c++.
i thought "cout,std" are c++ syntax

tjones007:
Why stuck the code with irrelevant comments.

While comments are good and best thing to be in a code. It should be used explain what can be understood.

Comments are good. Don't get me wrong.

noted sir.
I'm really a newbie in programming.
just wanted u guys to understand my algorithm.

aerodee:
Line 10, the smiley ; ) , it should be ) ;
line 17, all initialization in C comes in the beginning of the main()
you may want to put default in your switch for ppl that enter grade outside the range allowed. etc

Abeg I don tire, I need water

What error does it show ?

it does'nt show any error;
i hope these images will help u understand my problem

hi
i started learning programming two weeks ago. being practicing coding since then.
i wrote a program to calculate gpa, but my program don't execute well despite my compilers (c-free and dev c++) not dictating any bug.
please take a look at my code and help me out.
it does not include 'credit unit' while calculating.
it's a c program:

/*A c programe to calculate GPA*/
1.#include<stdio.h>
2.int main()
3.{
4. char grade;//declares the variable "grade" of type char
5. float gpa;//declares the variable "gpa" of type floating point
6. gpa=0;//initialize the value to zero
7. int sum;//declares the variable "sum" 0f type integer
8. sum=0;//initialize the value to zero
9. int n;//declares the variable "n" 0f type integer
10. printf("enter number of courses:\n";//prompts user to enter number of courses
11. scanf("%d",&n);//collects the number and stores it in th variable 'n'
12. int a[n];//declares an array of n-elements
13. int i;//declares a counter
14. i=0;//initialize the counter
15. do //commence a loop with do...while
16. {
17. int y;//declares a variable 'y'
18. y=a[i];//stores the array in the variable 'y'
19. printf("enter course%d grade:units \n",i+1);//prompts user to enter course grade and credit units
20. scanf("%c\t%d",&grade,&a[i]);//stores the grade in the variable 'c' and units in the array 'a'
21. switch(grade)//commence a switch...case mode to test and assign grades
/*this multiplies the grade and unit for each entry and adds them up*/
22. {
23. case 'A':
24. sum=sum+y*5;
25. break;
26. case 'B':
27. sum=sum+y*4;
28. break;
29. case 'C':
30. sum=sum+y*3;
31. break;
32. case 'D':
33. sum=sum+y*2;
34. break;
35. case 'E':
36. sum=sum+y*1;
37. break;
38. }
39. i++;
40. }
41. while (i<n);//loop terminates when all courses are entered
42. gpa=sum/n;//this calculates the GPA using the formula 'GPA=total score/total credit units
43. printf("total credit unit is %d\n total score is %d\n",n,sum);//this displays the total units and the total score
44. printf("GPA=%f\n",gpa);//this displays the GPA

stevecantrell:
But my good man, GEJ has already performed so much magic with the commonwealth of Nigeria I think he should take a bow.

Do you want figures in the shift of these indices ECA, Foreign reserves, NGN/USD on the parallel market etc ?

Let's face it, GEJ hasn't been sincere with Nigerians and now with the latest move, he's lost all credibility as an incumbent who can return to power by popular demand and popular demand only.

Can he really return to aso rock without "additional help" ? Be sincere.

be truthful to yourself, does he have an alternative ( viable opponent)?
other than anti corruption crusade APC is promising, what do they have to offer ( APC houses corrupt politicians too).
NB I'm not pro-PDP but I really don't want to regret my choice in 2years time.

stevecantrell:
I'm not convinced, let him re-develop our plundered foreign reserves, our moribund currency and non existent ECA first.

Or do you prefer he puts the country deeper in debt to 'develop' it ?

Stop kidding yourself !

He can't perform magic bro.
it's a gradual process that may not yield immediate result.
we will appreciate in the long run

Jonathan wants to develop Nigeria.
Every sincere Nigerian can attest to that.
Buhari wants to fight
corruption( this is the pinnacle of his campaign).
Very easy to settle.
Let Jonathan continue as president, Buhari will be appointed
the chairman of EFCC.
with buhari's acclaimed record of anti corruption lord, he will punish corrupt politicians severely.
Case closed.

Capableben:
at what level am I eligible to apply?

bro calm down and finish in mautech.
many of my friends transferred during the window period. it ain't easy.
the problem lies in the recipient school. you may not be given course of choice.
you also need to know the right people in the recipient school.

I think SKETCH Up can do this.
convert you pix to a sketch
create a lateral inversion of the sketch.

my friend in school does same. to be sincere I'm not exaggerating he spends 1hr+ in bathroom. I kept asking him what he does in there. I guess he takes his time in washing up himself. the way the guy behaves makes me believe he can't fart. it's so annoying

Capableben: Just elaborate everything, give me both positive and negative ..

bro chill
its just less than a month to resumption
anyway the only thing that pissed me off is the delayed calendar

Capableben: Wow, So is Mautech competent enough in
teaching Engineering? I mean do we have witty
lecturers and sufficient materials for imparting
Knowledge?
The last time I went to futy, it was obvious that
we not too social. its evident even on
Nairaland. one hardly sees futy students.

bro they may not be the best but above par.
by the way my negative comment will not make u withdraw your admission.

Capableben: Wow, let me quickly follow u. I am in 100 level chemical Engr.
Tell me about Engr in futy generally.

bro Engr. in mautech is fun n stressful.

Futy isn't blessed with so much social activities, more of JacKing.
what matters is that u ought to LIKE ur course, as for me engineering is my life.

Capableben: Pato, are u also a mautechian?

yes
