Hi, Its well said. First thing should be done First. Writing a C program, without configuring its compiler is like planning to construct a building without its base. Thus, Before writing your first program, the system should be configured to compile and execute C/C++ programs. Job of compiling a program is done by compiler, which converts program from human understanding format to object files. While compiling, it throws errors and warnings . If your program has errors , than, the executable wont be created and you will not be able to run the program. Thus, errors are violation of compilers rules which needs to be fixed mandatory.  On the other hand, warnings are mistakes which can be avoided, the executable will be created and you can run the program. But, if warnings are not taken care of, program may behave weirdly sometimes, and some time may run properly. Most usual mistake while writing C program is " array out of bound" where you are trying to access a l...

Hi, This is my first lesson for you guys. Hope you enjoy reading it. In recent community questions, I found many people wanted to be good programmers, or wanted to have good hands on certain language, be it C, C++, Java etc. My message for them is, Be Patient, if you have intent to become a good programmer, start programming today. We usually procastinate, thinking that, first I will learn a language then I will start programming. And this is the only step we go completely wrong. The first step to programming is, whatever concept you learn you program it, try different ways to program it. Programming is a skill which cannot be developed overnight. No doubt searching a solution to a problem requires skill, aptitude, reasoning all are clubbed in it. Initially, start with a hello world program in notepad.  Compile it with command prompt and look for errors and warnings. Then, run it from command prompt only.   Once its executed, try to understand each line you wro...

Development and Creation of Jobs Must take Priority Over Social Development. Arguments For: Development and creation of jobs cannot be divorced from social development. On one hand, govt can provide subsidy to poor and needy for the lifetime and keep them dependent on govt of day. It decreases the elbow room for the govt also to create more infrastructure and reduces economic activity in system. On the other hand is the job creation through development agenda. Job creation with development comes with umbrella of benefits like, if people get into jog, first of all they get a regular source of income, through with they themselves become self dependent and the salary they get increases the economic activity in society, which in turn, creates demand and thus requires more production. More production means, many more factories across the country, and more jobs for people, thus, job creation increases the level of living of an individual directly and of whole country i...

Report: Domestic Violence Against Women in India Date: xx/xx/xxxx Place: xyz The term “Domestic Violence”, means, violence is towards someone with whom we are in relation with. Here anyone can be the victim or victimizer; brother, sister, son, daughter, wife, father, and mother etc. In Indian, the society is crippled with violence against female, be it on the name of dowry or in form of marital rape or acid attacks, beating, female fetuses etc.   In order the prevent violence, the govt has enacted “The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005”, where aggrieved can file complain with protection officer,  police officer or magistrate if her right to life is violated by act of husband or relatives. Such a complain should be considered  prima facie evidence of offence, for further investigation. Even in presence of law, the 2012 report of National Crime Records Bureau, shows tantalizing figure, in which a crime against women is recorded in every...

Penetration of Left Wing Extremism in Tribal Areas. Date: xx/xx/xxxx Place: xyz Tribal land is continuously encroached for mining and setting up industries. Leaving behind tribal's and their children’s homeless, and they cannot be employed in local industries primarily due to their resistance to social integration and secondly due to lack of skills. Govt after govt have been unsuccessful in responding to tribal needs. Even the forest act do not considers tribal's right in the forest which they are living since generations. Tribal's don’t believe in democracy and consider that development agenda excludes tribal welfare and thus, to take up their agenda and fight for their land, they have organized themselves in form of Left Wing Extremism (LWE).  Now LWE is the biggest internal security challenge, surpassing Kashmir insurgency. Naxalites kills approx 1000 security personal every year. The belt in eastern, central and southern India which experience naxalite-mao...

Mass Transport Systems are the Key to Reducing Fuel Expenditure Its well said by Gandhiji that “The Earth provides enough for every man's needs but not every man's greed”, and its our greed over the period of period of time that we are running out of oil reserves, and emitting so much pollution in environment that earth is not able to replenish itself. With increase in quality of life, more and more people are using private vehicles for daily commutation. Thus the congestion, pollution and fuel requirements have risen steeply in metros.  The outcome is environmental degradation. One way to save environmental degradation may be to motivate people to use Mass Transport System (MTS). In MTS, all means of public transport i.e. bus, train and subways works in a integrated way, so as to make users journey convenient and time efficient. MTS comes with multi-dimensional advantages. For one, they decongest the roads. With more and more urban migration for jobs, the urban cent...

Large Population of India is more of a Bane than a Boon Argument For: In the last census, India has reported decadal population growth rate of around 17%. India has 2nd highest population in the world, but India failed to reap out benefits from its large population. Primarily, we have not succeeded in poverty elimination and job creation along with snail’s pace development in education sector. As a result, the burden of providing basic living facilities falls on shoulder of govt., which has to divert fund in form of direct-indirect subsidy for providing basic living level to the poor and weaker sections, instead of investing in expansion of roads, railways, housing, etc. From last 2 decades, India has a paradoxical situation where, even though we have achieved higher growth, we could not create enough jobs, and uplift status of weaker sections, thus poor remained poor and rich keeps becoming rich. The dependency ratio has also increased meaning, more people to feed with limi...

Effects of Media Publicity on Terrorism No one can forget the 2007 attacks in Mumbai, whose memories still haunt every now and then. In those terror attacks media played important role both for the people and for the terrorists themselves. In order to increase TRP and provide sensational coverage, media provide important information regarding moves and positions of security personal to terrorist, who were getting live feed from TV reporting. Sensing this, govt. immediately asked news channels to add delay in reporting.  This was an event where media indirectly helped terrorist. On the other hand, terrorist are able to expand and publicize their group with the help of social media. Since, social media is free platform and message can be spread in short span of time, terrorist nowadays are taking route of social media to influence people in succeeding their goals and spread their message. They look forward for “easy to influence” people on social platform like whatassp, face...

India Needs to Focus on Imparting Quality Education Instead of Merely Increasing its Gross Enrollment Ratio Argument For: Gross Enrollment  Ratio determines the ration of children enrolled in school/college w.r.t to total eligible children of that age. Govt has promoted enrollments through Mid-Day Meal Scheme, Sarv Sikhsha Abhiyan, Banning child labor, scholarships etc. But, enrollment  has come at cost of compromise with quality of education. Govt could not keep up with the quality of education; as a result, the children are becoming literate on records but are not skilled enough to fetch employment. Once literate, students seek jobs in market, but, govt has failed in job creation in the past 3 years, as a result, on one hand govt has spent huge amount of money on running the schools to make students literate on other hand due to scarcity of jobs and quality education, the youngster is pushed back in to vicious loop of poverty and menial job without any economic uplif...

Democracy Slows Down the Pace of Development. Argument For: A democratic govt has the responsibility to realize aspiration of people into reality. But, democratic govt often fall into inefficiencies due to favoritism and nepotism thus corrupts the system as a whole. In a democratic society, people becomes the part of govt, and govt actions are scrutinized by civil society, opposition parties, labor unions, environmental activists, international organizations etc, and govt moves forward with consultation, negotiation and compromises, which leads to delay in implementation of policies and projects. In a democracy like India, where, parties in opposition act as checks and balances towards govt action, sometimes, goes against the spirit of welfare of people. For e.g. opposition to AADHAR by NDA in UPA-II tenure and then bringing up AADHAR bill in 2016. Another example is the opposition of all political parties against the CIC’s order to declare their funds in public through RTI. ...
