‘Nan’ Can Cripple You and your Code

NaN- Not a number is one such night mare that can cripple your entire Code , your hours (Or even Minutes ) of punching the keyboard , that almost teases your patience of debugging the program

Only oneTIP for this : How certain you are about your code and how perfect is your code analysis and Data flow is ,

Just Check for Division By Zero Evaluation!

In any Division Arithmeticity Do check this , keep it as a habit and it should just flow when you are busy in such Divisional Logics in your code

The dirty way is to add a very small (negligible) padding to your denominator , Sure you woudnt do that if your coding for a Nuke Reactor or NASA JPL Mars Program

An Uncanny Blog Visitor Turns out to be a 13 year old School Friend!

Indiblogger.in – Incredible Stories:

This is a story how i met my childhood friend , not through Facebook, Twitter, Orkut or Linkedin or any social network but as a visitor to my blog who commented on my post. He is Manu (http://justanotherdot.wordpress.com/) Who inturn found me through Indiblogger.in

It was just an usual comment on a post and i replied back , the next day there was another post from my end and he commented back, as we were friends in Indiblogger , and as a fellow blogger approached him so that i can add him up on facebook, quickly we added each other, the surprising thing was we had no common friends (that was expected) but least i could imaging that our coversation would turn into a shocking Experience.

I started saying I am pursuing my undergraduation from a reputed college and words exchanged and talked about interests and at a point i asked him , from which school he was from , he said St.Patricks , i said even i hail from the same school , i thought that, it might be at another location(but it was less probable as i knew the only branch was ours), but what he said brought a shocking bolt in our head, even he was from the very same school , we were awe struck , i then took out the Class group photo and pointed who i was and he readily pointed himself out and he could identify few others , we were speech less as to how a comment from a random visitor turned out to be a School friend From MY class , who eventually hand to leave due to a personal reason , None of us were even touch with him , later shared the pictures, tagged each other and we guys found out Our very own classmate ! We spoke of this unusual bump into each other for few days, oh yeah and lot of our tastes did match !!

Its something which neither of us can forget ! its a Destiny to meet your long lost friend, who else and how could such an Uncanny Event Take place !

GREP – Ending With Space

The below Snippet Uses Awk and Pipes it to GREP and finds all matches that end with a space

 

awk ‘{FILELOC=”TFIDF.txt”} {print $0}’FILELOC | grep ‘^$1[[:space:]]’ D/Step2/3D_Final > a

 

so to match for a space u need to use  [[:space:]]

The snippet finds matches that start with $1 variable and proceeds with a space or a tab

You can use in any scenario , Phew took a long time to find this!! Enjoy Scripties!!
