QWERTY-keyboard when this idean came

By
QWERTY QWERTY   / ˈ k w Éœr t i /  is the most common modern-day  keyboard layout . The name comes from the first six  keys  appearing on the top left letter row of the keyboard and read from left to right: Q-W-E-R-T-Y. The QWERTY design is based on a layout created for the  Sholes and Glidden typewriter  and sold to  Remington  in 1873. It became popular with the success of the Remington No. 2 of 1878, and remains in use on electronic keyboards due to the  network effect  of a standard layout and a belief that  alternatives  fail to provide very significant advantages. [ 1 ]  The use and adoption of the QWERTY keyboard is often viewed as one of the most important case studies in  open standards  because of the widespread, collective adoption and use of the product. [ 2 ] History and purposes [ edit ] Keys are arranged on diagonal columns, to give space for the levers. Main article:  Sholes and Glidden typewriter Still used to this day, the QWERTY layout was devised

What Are Search Engine Spiders?

By
A spider, also known as a robot or a crawler, is actually just a program that follows, or "crawls", links throughout the Internet, grabbing content from sites and adding it to search engine indexes. Spiders only can follow links from one page to another and from one site to another. That is the primary reason why links to your site (inbound links) are so important. Links to your website from other websites will give the search engine spiders more "food" to chew on. The more times they find links to your site, the more times they will stop by and visit. Google especially relies on its spiders to create their vast index of listings. Spiders find Web pages by following links from other Web pages, but you can also submit your Web pages directly to a search engine or directory and request a visit by their spider. In fact, it's a good idea to manually submit your site to a human-edited directory such as Yahoo, and usually spiders from other search e

Input and Output Functions in c

By
Objectives: Having read this section you should have a clearer idea of one of C's: 1.input functions, called scanf 2.output functions, called printf On The Run: Even with arithmetic you can't do very much other than write programs that are the equivalent of a pocket calculator. The real break through comes when you can read values into variables as the program runs. Notice the important words here: "as the program runs". You can already store values in variables using assignment. That is: a=100; stores 100 in the variable a each time you run the program, no matter what you do. Without some sort of input command every program would produce exactly the same result every time it was run. This would certainly make debugging easy! But in practice, of course, we need programs to do different jobs each time they are run. There are a number of different C input commands, the most useful of which is the scanf command. To read a single integer value into the variable cal

Overview of C

By
Why use C?: C has been used successfully for every type of programming problem imaginable from operating systems to spreadsheets to expert systems - and efficient compilers are available for machines ranging in power from the Apple Macintosh to the Cray supercomputers. The largest measure of C's success seems to be based on purely practical considerations: the portability of the compiler; the standard library concept; a powerful and varied repertoire of operators; an elegant syntax; ready access to the hardware when needed; and the ease with which applications can be optimized by hand-coding isolated procedures C is often called a "Middle Level" programming language. This is not a reflection on its lack of programming power but more a reflection on its capability to access the system's low level functions. Most high-level languages (e.g. Fortran) provides everything the programmer might want to do already built into the language. A low l
