HNG Internship5 Site Review/Bug Finding Task

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 list of hotel regions on that page. I opened a few and just like that i had lost hope again, to be honest i really don't know whether it's my lack of experience on the ui/ux front that was responsible for my ignorance of quite a number of possible bugs that could be hiding in plain sight.
   Eventually i found a region among-st the list - Ireland! and as i was carefully observing down the page i struck gold. It's to get "Professional" letme explain my findings.

On this page everything seems setup in convention with other similar pages on the website. The sidebar seems pretty well established apart from the fact that it unlike previous similar web pages (Hotels in Europe) had an additional widget ( Starr widgets on the sidebar).Most importantly i identified the last paragraph with font size of questionable size, as it is too tiny and as far user-experience is concerned the font-size is not so app-laudable.

 This is where i end allof my thesis as well as this blog post. It's probbaly way to long and boring to read(probably!-ha!).

The Operating System _ What is It?

Image
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...

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...

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 ...
