Jazzed Up!

I was chatting with a friend who had a huge music collection and I wanted to know what all he had. Since he’s a great programmer, he told me he’d give me the list as soon as he writes a program to do the job. This provoked me to make a batch script which would do the job. I did some research online and found out some basics of batch scripts. This is the final thing which I ended up with.


@echo Directory listing will be created at c:\dirList.txt
@dir %1 /S > c:\dirList.txt
@echo Opening c:\dirList.txt in Notepad

Here is a school project I made with 2 of my friends. It’s a Sudoku solving program which uses BGI Graphics (Borland’s Turbo C++ 3 supports it). Tell me what you think of it.

This article tells your how to download videos, not only from YouTube, but also from other video sharing sites using Firefox. I’ll be considering only YouTube here. The procedure will be the same for any streaming media.

Step 1: Go to YouTube and play the video you want to download.

Step 2: After the video has loaded, open a new tab (Ctrl + T) or a new Firefox window and type

about:cache

in the address bar.

Copy the location of the Cache Directory. (It’s different for everyone) Read more »

This is the Java version of the Binary Search program I had previously programmed using C++ (here). I’m absolutely new to java and made this with the help of All-in-one Desk Reference for Dummies (Required it especially for the input method) and my previous knowledge of functions (from C++).

(If you want a properly indented, source code file ready for compiling and running, click here.)

Here is the code:

import java.util.Scanner;

My friend wanted an idea for a C++ project which had to be short and simple. I searched and searched and finally ended up on some “array searching using binary search” algorithms. I tried out many of these, but most of them were either too complicated or not working. In the quest to make it work, I decided to understand the concept myself (I used WikiPedia and Dev Shed for reference) and make the program work.

If you don’t know what binary search is, then let me tell you. Binary Search is one of the most efficient ways to search an array containing a large number of elements. You can refer the Binary Search (in Wikipedia) page for more information on it.

Here is the finished code.
