10 Reasons why you should learn 'C'

1) C is lower level then other programming languages (C++, Java). Programming at a lower level allows you to further your understanding of computers, as a whole.


2) Device drivers and operating systems are written exclusively in C. Now, you may never write a device driver or an operating system, but what if you are ever required to modify one? (……)
3) What if you ever want to get a job programming micro controllers? They are programmed in C. Are you going to limit your possible list of jobs because you didn’t want to learn a new language?


4) C programs are smaller and faster then any other program created in a different language. Sometimes your program needs that speed boost that only C can give it.


5) If you have learned C, you can learn any modern programming language. The reason behind this is that all modern programming languages are based on C (Java, C++, C#, etc).


6) Because C has been around for many years, it has a large community and collective code base. This allows you to quickly and efficiently implement new algorithms or functions that have been programmed before.


7) C is the language of the Open Source community. The Open Source poster child, Linux, was coded in C. If you know C, you can participate in and contribute to numerous Open Source communities like Source Forge.


cool C is the only language that teaches you what pointers really are. C# and Java skip the subject completely. It is pointers that give C its power.


9) C is still the most commonly required language for programming jobs. It is well worth your time to get C under your belt.


10) Anything that has a microprocessor in it has support for C. From your microwave to your cell phone, C powers technology

OpenCV - Drawing a Circle with python

In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw a circle in OpenCV. OpenCV comes with lots of built-in functions that make our life easier especially when we are working on image processing .  And there is a function called circle in OpenCV which is used to draw a circle. This function takes following parameters: 1. Image : Takes an image object 2. Center : Center point coordinates 3. Radius : Radius of the circle 4. Color : Takes color in BGR format 5. Thickness : By default set to 1 (optional) 6. Line Type : By default set to 8-connected.It can also be  LINE_AA  or  4-connected  (Optional) 7. Shift:  Shifts fractional bits in the point coordinates of center and radius (Optional) Especially when we are creating closed shapes. Thickness plays an important role. Here if the negative thickness is passed in this function or any other function which creates a closed shape(rectangle, polygon, etc). Then it creates a filled shape (filled with color). Negative Thickness Filled Circle Positive ...

I found it very easy to set up and play PS3 games . Although this emulator is still in the development stage so you may encounter some errors. I haven’t got any errors. In this tutorial, I am using the PS3 PKG file. This emulator also supports dumping ps3 disc and ISO Images. Prerequisites: RPCS3 Emulator PS3 Update File Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable PS3 .pkg and Rap File Important Tip Before downloading any game make sure it comes under the playable section of rpcs3 compatibility. To check which game you can play using RPCS3 click HERE. Games that are showing in the Playable Section are actually the games that are in running state and can be played using RPCS3 E...

Basic BIOS password crack

This is a password hack but it clears the BIOS such that the next time you start the PC, the CMOS does not ask for any password. Now if you are able to bring the DOS prompt up, then you will be able to change the BIOS setting to the default. To clear the CMOS do the following: Get DOS prompt and type: DEBUG hit enter -o 70 2e hit enter -o 71 ff hit enter -q hit enter exit hit enter Restart the computer
