How to compete online programming competitions


It so happened to me this month that I broke the final barrier of not being a rated member of Codechef and Codeforces. 
It has been a bit of time since I registered at both the reputed online programming platforms. Though I have been practicing some problems, still it didn't occur to me to make it a point when it came to the contests on this two sites- The coveted Long and Short contest of Codechef and regular contest for Codeforces.
About how I did....Nothing so extra ordinary because all it needed was just one thought and determination that "I had to do it this time..at all cost". It paid off and now I am rated in both the platforms. Its a small step yet it is a big leap because it makes me motivated in all that I do now and  yes, I can say that I am more confident now than I was and this will help me in doing better.

 If there is anyone still not being a part of these things, I sincerely invite you to it. Not just that we can improve our skills but that it makes us motivated and learn a great deal which would otherwise take a lot more time and devotion. 

 I would like to tell that all we need are:
>> Firm and solid knowledge of a programming language.
>> If not, then not stopping to learn one of it.
>> Never say die spirit, this will keep us moving and reach us to our goal.
>> Being interactive and active in all participations.
>> Just give a try...come on...do it..and you can(Believe this!!)

                 To anyone with  passion of coding, it brings the joy of accomplishment and fire to burn for more as one goes on. Coding is not just about ending in a company. One who has the command over it knows it certainly well of what it is capable of and where it can take. One is never born without limitations or nor with all the trophies. Needless to say that hardwork pays.
 So happy coding!!!

How to create a bootable USB pendrive in Linux

If it was windows, it would be much easier ...for we have the universal USB installer. In Linux, we can't use that: however, we need not worry, guys have done a great job by creating a much easier tool to do the work. The tool is called gparted. It is a nice GUI tool to do our work. So lets see how we shall do it. >Open the terminal . >Now type: sudo apt-get install gparted ......This will install the tool ...well and good if you had it from before. >Now type: sudo apt-get install-3g ( gparted installed this as default for me...just see if it did for you). >Now open the tool via: System>Administration>Gparted Partition Tool >Now you are almost done....Click the File and choose the drive for the particular USB. >Right click on the drive when it is enlisted. See Manage Flag menu and click to enable boot. >Now go to Partition menu at the top panel and format the drive as ntfs . This will keep the work as pending operation ...click the cor...

Behind the Scenes: How Generative AI Creates Music, Art, and Stories

When Machines Dream We’re living in a world where machines don’t just compute—they create. Generative AI is writing novels, composing symphonies, and painting pictures. But what’s really going on behind the screen? This post pulls back the curtain to reveal how generative AI actually creates —from writing a bedtime story to composing a lo-fi beat. Whether you're a curious creator or tech enthusiast, you’ll see the art of AI through a new lens. What is Generative AI, Really? Generative AI uses machine learning models—especially neural networks—to generate new content based on learned patterns. Trained on vast datasets, these models produce original music, images, and text based on user prompts. 1. How AI Writes Stories (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) Step-by-step: You give a prompt: “Write a story about a lonely robot who finds a friend in the forest.” The model (like ChatGPT) draws on its training data to predict and generate the most likely next word, sentence, or paragr...

How to find the difference between two files from windows shell

Well I was just wondering how could I see the difference between two files in windows. Searching the net, I saw some softwares  that would do the job for me..But I wanted simple and fast not so sophisticated ... I found out we could do using a simple tool...fc..from the DOS prompt. FC is a command to view the difference of two files or set of files.. So the steps are: 1> go the directory where the files are.. 2>type  fc first-filename second-filename ....and there you go..You will get the result each different section divided by line of stars.. ...Its simple ...right?? I love it....The following explains the full usage method ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Syntax: FC [d:][path]filename [d:][path]filename [/A][/C][/L][/Lb n] [/N][/T][/W][/(number)] for binary comparisons FC [d:][path]filename [d:][path]filename [/B][/number]  FC reports differences between the two files you specify. FC firs...
