A programmer's note book

This article briefs up about the proper and various uses of the search box in the Windows Explorer. I found similar articles many places but there was one drawback and I have sort of found a solution for that too, which will be mentioned on the way !! So, that is the Windows Explorer which everyone knows about very well.. with the search box in the top right corner [Red colored box]. We may know a few techniques of using this great tool for finding a file. Like if you want to search for a needle in a haystack! 1. Search anywhere within the file name     This is one of the simplest technique. Just type in some text and Windows will find all the files that contain the text you entered.     For Eg.: You enter "net" and it returns files that have the text "net" anywhere in its name including its extension. 2.Search with a pattern     Now lets assume we know the starting or ending of a filename. We use an asterisk (*) for these kinds of searches...

If you haven't understood the title, here is an explanation:     Input a string     The program will tell you what buttons you need to press how many times in an alpha numeric keypad. Example:     input: blog     output: 22 55 666 4 Logic?     - Initialise a 2D array which holds values of all buttons.     - Get the input string.     - Loop through each elements in the array and check it with the 2D array.     - The row index will tell you which button should be pressed.     - The column index will tell how many times to press it.     - In each loop concat the row index with the result string and display it !! 2D array for keypad: The 2D initialisation:       10 rows and max number of characters in a button : 4     char keys[10][4]={ "XXXX",                        "...

The following program I scribbled, for finding the second smallest number in an integer array in C   program. The logic? Simple and childish !!! Get the length Get the array contents Find the smallest number in the array with a for loop Again loop through the elements to find number which is smaller than the rest of the elements but greater than the smallest element you just found. There !! you found the second smallest number !!! The c program: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 #include<stdio.h> int main () { int xArray [ 10 ]; int Length ; int smallInt ; int i , j , l ; int xSecodSmall ; printf ( "Enter the number of elements min(1) max(2):\t" ); Length = 11 ; scanf ( "%d" , & Length ); while ( Length > 10 | Length < 2 ) { printf ( "\...
