An unconventional beginning Generally we write a HelloWorld program in java first going by the convention and obsolete ways. Let us start with a simple addition program. Even if this is your first program, believe me, you will feel much more than a newbie. DESIGN: import java.lang.*; class add { public static void main(String[] args) { int num1=12,num2=17; System.out.println("Sum of "+num1+"... 

Before the first cup Java was developed as a prototype to C++ by the Sun Microsystems. Its primary role was to provide developers with a platform which would allow them to program a number of electronic devices, dealing mainly in streaming connections. Developed under the secret Project-Green, the language was originally named Oak, probably because of the oak tree James Gosling-the inventor... 

EMULATION Emulation is the process of making an incompatible subsystem aware of a desired supersystem in such a way that the supersystem is completely compatible and interactible with the subsystem, thereby allowing all possible renderings of the digital objects in the subsystem with reesspect to the supersystem. The intended environment is the target platform and the emulated environment is the host...

Often in classrooms we are taught that the main function is the ‘main’ function in a program! But it actually is not so. That is actually the default behavior of the compiler. The compiler has a predefined set of rules according to which :: 1. The main() function has a default priority of 0, which is the highest. 2. Priorities from 0 to 63 are reserved for use by C libraries. 3. Priorities... 

RECURSION Recursion is somewhere defined as the tool to fast iteration, whereas some people find it obfuscating and detest it with proof of it being slow and occupancy of unnecessary space. Recursion is not something which occurs to us directly or naturally. We generally tend to think inward to a concluding point, and come out with the result. Proper recursion on the other hand is like moving outward...

International Obfuscated C Code Contest The International Obfuscated C Code Contest (abbr. IOCCC) is a programming contest for the most creatively obfuscated C code held annually since 1984. The goal is thus to create the most complex and complicated logic for a possibly simple execution!! There are many winning entries each year, and each entry gets a category such as “Worst Abuse of the C...
