When I was practising C programming...the result - 1 error.Later I fixed and I view the result - 6 errors.Again I edited -1 error.when I show my teacher, now my teacher clicked for result- no error...

Homework Statement


It takes George 45 minutes to install a bollard in the street but it only takes Alex 30 minutes to do the same task. They work together as a team. If George and Alex install 7 bollards in 2 1/2 hours how are they going to get home?

Homework Equations


R = G-W
Where R is distance remaining,
G is the width of the gap, and
W is the width of the vehicle.

The Attempt at a Solution


I reckon they’ll be taking the bus.

The post gets the spin assignments wrong. You need a rotation by 360 degrees divided by the spin. 720 degrees for spin 1/2 (USB in the joke), 360 for spin 1 (USB as it should be) and 180 for spin 2 (USB-c).

For Sale. Baby Rudin. Never read.
I did not get this joke when I read it just now, so I googled and saw it was a math book.
And I found a very funny review of the book: Hilarious review of Baby Rudin on Amazon.
Review said:
Finally, some people complain about the level of abstraction, which let me just say is not that high. If you want to see abstraction grab a copy of Spanier's 'Algebraic Topology' and stare at it for about an hour. Then open 'Baby Rudin' up again. I promise you the feeling you get when you sit in a hottub for like twenty minutes and then jump back in the pool. Invigorating.

Messieurs, précision, s.v.p.! The joke says the center and as there is none, it remains true.
It might be a philosophical topic: with people, there is a significant difference between observable and observed universe. Normally, things don't exist for people until observed. So clearly a QM interpretation, but is it really Copenhagen? I think it's more Quantum Bayesianism.

No.
Going to pet... Ouch!. He bit me.
I thought you said your dog doesn't bite.
Right. That's not my dog!

There is the center of your observable universe, and this center is you. This has nothing to do with quantum mechanics.

Yes, but observable restricts the statement to a subclass, which wasn't part of the assertion. It was this subclass, which relates not to QM, but to the famous family of its interpretations.

Elephant Hunt

Computer scientists hunt elephants by executing Algorithm A:
{Go to Africa
Start at the Cape of Good Hop
Crossing Africa from south to north
bidirectional in east-west direction
Do while crossing
{
Catch every animal you see
Compare each trapped animal with an animal known as elephant
stop on agreement
}​
}

Experienced programmers change Algorithm A by placing an animal known as Elephant in Cairo, so that the program will end properly in any case.

Assembler programmers prefer to run Algorithm A on their hands and knees.

SQL programmers use the following expression:
SELECT Elephant FROM Africa.

NATURAL programmers get an elephant from ADABAS.

LOGO programmers were riding through Africa on their turtle.

COBOL programmers do this on a dinosaur.

BASIC programmers prefer to do this in a velvet-padded single-hauler with the brakes constantly tightened.

C programmers first use sizeof() to determine the amount of memory needed by an elephant, attempting to allocate it, forgetting to check the result and then shoot the elephant with wild pointers.

C ++ programmers insist that the elephant is a class, so they have to bring their own catching methods. And if the elephant should leave Africa, then automatically its destructor is triggered.

PASCAL programmers first mark a point on the map, then write END in front of it and dream of Nicholas Wirth being trampled by an elephant.

MODULA programmers import an elephant from a zoo.

DELPHI programmers download a TElephant component from the Internet and get as many elephants as they like by calling the virtual constructor: Elephant:= TElephant.Create(MySelf)

LISP programmers build a maze of brackets and hope the elephant gets lost in it.

Mathematicians hunt elephants by going to Africa, removing everything that is not an elephant and catching a remnant element.

Experienced mathematicians will first try to prove the existence of at least one unique elephant before proceeding to step 1 as a subordinate practice task.

Mathematics professors prove the existence of at least one non-degenerate elephant and then leave the tracking and trapping of an actual elephant to their students.

Engineers hunt elephants by going to Africa, catching every gray animal that comes their way and taking it as an elephant if the weight does not deviate more than 15% from that of a previously captured elephant.

Economists do not hunt elephants. But they are convinced that the elephants would turn themselves in if they pay them enough.

Statisticians hunt the first animal they see n times and call it an elephant.

Business consultants do not hunt elephants - and many have never hunted anything. But you can hire them by the hour to get good advice.

System analysts would theoretically be able to determine the correlation between hat size and hit rate in elephant hunting if only someone would tell them what an elephant is.

SAP system engineers declare the first-best animal to be an elephant and adapt the idea of an elephant to this animal.

MICROSOFT buys an elephant from the Seattle Zoo, copies it in bulk, speaks to the world that everyone needs one, and that it is the perfect complement to MS Office, and exports 14 million copies to Africa.
