Debugging tips

Debugging tips 1. Try to tell someone like your friend or a coworker about what your code is expected to do and how it actually behaves. 2. Be concrete and don't omit details and answers all of your helper questions cause you're likely to realize the problem while you tell your story and speaking activates of these parts of your brain can remain idle during coding but if no one can help you with the problem go check out the Rubber Duck Debugging. 3. Try to isolate the exact part of your code that may be responsible for your troubles and run it separately. You can try commenting out of the code that is obscure of the problem. Assign the concrete values to variables instead of reading them from the input try testing your functions by applying predictable argument values. Analyze your code carefully and try reading it out loud. 4. A bug that has recently appeared and didn't show up earlier try to analyze all of the changes you've introduced into your code. One of them may be the results of your answer. 5. Take a break. 6. Be optimistic you'll find the bug eventually.

Operators in C language

Image
Operators One of the most important features of C is that it has a very rich set of built in operators including arithmetic, relational, logical, and bitwise operators. An operator can be any symbol like + - * / that specifies what operation need to be performed on the data. For ex: + indicates addition operation * indicates multiplication operation Operand VS Operator • An operand can be a constant or a variable. • An expression is a combination of operands and operators that reduces to a single value. For example: Consider the following expression: a+ b Here 'a' and 'b' are operand while 't' is an operator Operators & Expression are 1) Arithmetic Operators and Expressions 2) Assignment and Compound Assignment Operators 3) Increment and Decrement Operators 4) Relational Operators and Expressions 5) Logical Operators and Expressions 6) Bitwise Operators and Expressions Arithmetic Operators An arithmetic operator performs mathematical operators such

3D printers

3D  printers  A 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process of an object that is being created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the object. 3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine. 3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods. Slicing: From printable file to 3D Printer Slicing basically means slicing up a 3D model into hundreds or thousands of layers and that is done with slicing software. When your file is sliced, it’s ready for your 3D printer. Feeding the file to your printer can be done via USB, SD or Wi-Fi. Your sliced file is now
