HNG Internship5 Site Review/Bug Finding Task

Image
So the long awaited HNG internship, one of the biggest and most anticipated events in a year finally started. Preliminaries came i scaled through thankfully, i got added to the stage1 quo and we got new challenges to identify bugs on this website called Timbu . This blog post is simply about me trying to figure out what i could report as a bug.      My first few minutes were quite futile as i was only just jumping from one page to another trying to find what could be wrong on the site. Time was running out, my chest began to pound , the co-coordinator had already admonished that it'd be better to find a bug quite early before the task would get saturated and other interns would find more and more bugs (suddenly bugs were needed!!..c'mon).  As i kept searching i would equally peep at the slack channel where we received info on and see what was happening. After a while i went back to the index and scrolled down with hope and my hope was not let down..there - was a...

How To Free Up Space From Your Laptop Using Disk Cleaner

Image
Welcome to this session, in this article i'll be showing you how to free up space from you computer , using an in-built tool called Disk Cleaner. You don't have to download anything it's pre-installed by Microsoft. Step 1: Click the start button/windows button and type in the search box "Disk Cleaner" Step 2: Opening the Disk Cleanup program would open up a prompt as shown below, the dialogue shows the disk cleaner calculating just how much space can be freed.              wait for it to complete scanning. Step 3: After scanning you should see a new dialogue come up, here you get the chance to choose which junk file you wish to keep and those you wish to terminate.        For this exercise i'm going to select everything. After that hit the cleanup system files to give it permission to cleanup files that windows create (that are useless) and then hit Ok in the prompt that appears. And slowly ...

COMPUTING IN REAL TIME - DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT

BOOTING    Booting refers to the process or series of process that the computer system undergoes, when it is   turned on. The question is how do you switch on the computer?!. Well its pretty easy, all you have to do is push a button – the power button! It is usually located on the upper left corner on laptops , but at times you just have to look for it, in PCs you have to push the power button on the system unit ( a rectangular shaped box connected to the monitor ) . So once you see this button all you have to do is push it once , don't hold it down just press on it once and the strange look tv screen should begin to come to life from there.      You should see a black screen appear and start displaying some strings of letters as shown above. Don't fret!, its all good so just let the computer finish its start-up process fully, and welcome you ..  endeavor not to hit any button on the keyboard while it boots. After booting, you should be redirec...

Complex Numbers

Image
Complex numbers are a set of numbers that consist (individually)  of a real part and an imaginary part To better understand this let's say we have a quadratic equation ..x² + x +1 =0 by method of formula The quadratic formula is given as....... X   =( -b ± √b2 - 4ac)      _________________               2a Alright pick up your Pens and jotters..  We want to see if we can use the quadratic formula to solve that quadratic equation x² + x + 1= 0 Using the quadratic formula  The root of this equation is  X =( -b ± √b2 - 4ac)      _________________               2a a is the coefficient of the term with the highest power ( 1x ²)   b is the coefficient of the x term ( 1x ) ..and c  is the constant (which happens to be 1 also).. Applying this formula we can notice that we would have to take the square root of b2 - 4ac which is a negative...

OPERATING SYSTEM  THE TERM OPERATING  SYSTEM, OR OS FOR SHORT IS A TERM THAT IS USED TO REFER TO A SYSTEM SOFTWARE THAT OVERSEES THE ACTIVITIES AND OR OPERATIONS OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. WITHOUT THIS SYSTEM SOFTWARE, THE COMPUTER WOULD MERELY JUST BE A AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW IT SHOULD WORK😕. THE OPERATING SYSTEM IS ACTUALLY THE MAJOR PART OF THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE, AS ALL OTHER PROGRAMS AND APPS DEPEND ON IT TO WORK. IN OTHER WORDS, THE OPERATING SYSTEM SERVES AS A FOUNDATION ON WHICH ALL OTHER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ARE BASED.     IMPORTANT OPERATIONS SUCH AS BOOTING REQUIRES THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO TAKE PLACE PROPERLY. OPERATING SYSTEM VARIES FROM SYSTEM TO SYSTEMS , BASED ON HOW THEY WORK: 1) SINGLE USER SINGLE TASK OS 2) SINGLE USER MULTI TASK OS 3) MULTI USER MULTI TASK OS 4) REAL TIME OS SINGLE USER SINGLE TASK 🙎‍♂ THIS KIND OF OS , AS THE TITLE GOES: ALLOWS ONLY ONE USER ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND CAN PERFORM ONL...
