Displaying Text directly beside an image

Hi, Today i wanna show you how to Displaying Text With An Image Within HTML Code...;

If you're trying to place text directly beside an image within your web page HTML code, you may have discovered it's not as easy as it appears. When you place your image HTML code and text within your HTML code, instead of the text and image displaying side by side like a newspaper, it will display like this:

To enable your image and text to display properly together, you will need to add an ALIGN attribute to your image HTML code.

Following is an example image displaying on the left with the text wrapping around the image to the right.

To align your image to left and your text to the right, add ALIGN="left" to your image HTML code like this:

<img border="0" align="left" src="image.jpg"> Hai Frnds,How are You

Following is an example image displaying on the right with the text wrapping around the image to the left.

To align your image to right and your text to the left, add ALIGN="right" to your image HTML code like this:

<img border="0" align="Right" src="image.jpg"> Hai Frnds,How are you

Wrapping your text around your image will enable you to give your content a much more professional look.

JavaScript to Start and Stop the Time

Hi Frnds, I waana Show you how to Start and Stop the Time Using JavaScript...;

The Below Code is used to Start and Stop the Time Using JavaScript

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<p>A script on this page Starts and Stops clock:</p>

<p id="demo"></p>

<div>

<form><input type = "submit" value = "Start Time" style = "float:left"></form>

<input type = "submit" value = "Stop Time" style = "margin-left:10px" onclick="myStopFunction()" ></div>

<script>

var myVar = setInterval(function(){ myTimer() }, 1000);

function myTimer() {

var d = new Date();

var t = d.toLocaleTimeString();

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = t;

}

function myStopFunction() {

clearInterval(myVar);

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

Observe carefully this code

<p id = “demo”></p>

var myVar = setInterval(function(){ myTimer() }, 1000);

function myTimer() {

var d = new Date();

var t = d.toLocaleTimeString();

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = t;

}

This code is used to display the Current System time, when page is loaded.

<input type = "submit" value = "Stop Time" style = "margin-left:10px" onclick="myStopFunction()" >

function myStopFunction() {

clearInterval(myVar);

When we click the “Stop Time” Button, the myStopFunction() is called. It Stops the Time.

<form><input type = "submit" value = "Start Time" style = "float:left"></form>

When we click the “Start Time” Button, the Page will refresh so the time will start again.

Try it...,

Have Nice Day...;

Framework

A framework, or software framework, is a platform for developing software applications. It provides a foundation on which software developers can build programs for a specific platform. For example, a framework may include predefined classes and functions that can be used to process input, manage hardware devices, and interact with system software. This streamlines the development process since programmers don't need to reinvent the wheel each time they develop a new application.

A framework is similar to an application programming interface (API), though technically a framework includes an API. As the name suggests, a framework serves as a foundation for programming, while an API provides access to the elements supported by the framework. A framework may also include code libraries, a compiler, and other programs used in the software development process.

Several different types of software frameworks exist. Popular examples include ActiveX and .NET for Windows development, Cocoa for Mac OS X, Cocoa Touch for iOS, and the Android Application Framework for Android. Software development kits (SDKs) are available for each of these frameworks and include programming tools designed specifically for the corresponding framework. For example, Apple's Xcode development software includes a Mac OS X SDK designed for writing and compiling applications for the Cocoa framework.

In many cases, a software framework is supported natively by an operating system. For example, a program written for the Android Application Framework will run on an Android device without requiring other additional files to be installed. However, some applications require a specific framework in order to run. For example, a Windows program may require Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, which is not installed on all Windows machines (especially PCs running older versions of Windows). In this case, the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 installer package must be installed in order for the program to run.

NOTE: While frameworks generally refer to broad software development platforms, the term can also be used to describe a specific framework within a larger programming environment. For example, multiple Java frameworks, such as Spring, ZK, and the Java Collections Framework (JCF) can be used to create Java programs. Additionally, Apple has created several specific frameworks that can be accessed by OS X programs. These frameworks are saved with a .FRAMEWORK file extension and are installed in the /System/Library/Frameworks directory. Examples of OS X frameworks include AddressBook.framework, CoreAudio.framework, CoreText.framework, and QuickTime.framework.

Using Tor Browser...

What is the Tor Browser?

          The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

The Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.

Official Web Site : https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

Download the latest tor tarball as your requirement like you OS(Operating System) example windows OS 64/34 bit/Mac OS/Linux etc? from Official Web Site(Use above link).

For Windows OS Users :

After Downloading the package extract it and click the tor.exe file, that's it.

For Linux OS Users :

• After Downloading the package, open a terminal(ctrl+alt+t) window and navigate to the directory you downloaded it to
• run this command: tar -xvf <NAME_OF_TARBALL>
• use cd to go into the created directory (ex: /opt/tor-browser_en-US/Browser)
• run the start script with ./start_tor_browser.sh

Java Program to print Circular (Spiral) Matrix

Question:

            Write a Program in Java to fill a square matrix of size ‘n*n” in a circular fashion (clockwise) with natural numbers from 1 to n*n, taking ‘n’ as input.

For example: if n = 4, then n*n = 16, hence the array will be filled as given below

Note: This program is also known as Spiral Matrix

Solution:

import java.io.*;

class Circular_Matrix

    {

        public static void main(String args[])throws IOException

        {

            BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

            System.out.print("Enter the number of elements : ");

            int n=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());

            int A[][]=new int[n][n];

            int k=1, c1=0, c2=n-1, r1=0, r2=n-1;

            while(k<=n*n)

                {

                    for(int i=c1;i<=c2;i++)

                    {

                        A[r1][i]=k++;

                    }

                    for(int j=r1+1;j<=r2;j++)

                    {

                        A[j][c2]=k++;

                    }

                    for(int i=c2-1;i>=c1;i--)

                    {

                        A[r2][i]=k++;

                    }

                    for(int j=r2-1;j>=r1+1;j--)

                    {

                        A[j][c1]=k++;

                    }

                 c1++;

                 c2--;

                 r1++;

                 r2--;

                }

 

            /* Printing the Circular matrix */

            System.out.println("The Circular Matrix is:");

            for(int i=0;i<n;i++)

                {

                    for(int j=0;j<n;j++)

                        {

                            System.out.print(A[i][j]+ "\t");

                        }

                 System.out.println();

                }

        }

    }

Working:

    
            We will take a variable ‘k’ which will begin with 1 and will do the work of filling. i.e. for every cell, it will increase by 1. The below given processes will repeat till the value of ‘k’ becomes ‘n*n’

C1 denotes the index of the column from where we have to begin. Hence its initial value will be 0.

C2 denotes the index of the column where we have to end. Hence its initial value will be ‘n-1′ (n is the size of the matrix).

R1 denotes the index of the row from where we have to begin. Hence its initial value will be 0.

R2 denotes the index of the row where we have to end. Hence its initial value will be ‘n-1′ (n is the size of the matrix).

The filling up of the matrix in circular fashion will consist of 4 different steps which will continue till the matrix is filled completely.

Step 1: We will fill the elements of Row 0 (R1), starting from Column 0 (C1) till ‘n-1′ (C2). The cells which will be filled are marked in the image above in yellow color.

The elements will be accessed as follows: A[R1][i], where ‘i’ will go from C1 to C2 (A[ ][ ] is the array)

Step 2: Now, we will fill the elements of Column ‘n-1′ (C2), starting from Row R1+1 till R2. The cells which will be filled are marked in the image above in grey color.

The elements will be accessed as follows: A[j][C2], where ‘j’ will go from R1+1 to R2 (A[ ][ ] is the array)

Step 3: Next we will fill the elements of Row ‘n-1′ (R2), starting from Column C2-1 till C1. The cells which will be filled are marked in the image above in green color.

The elements will be accessed as follows: A[R2][i], where ‘i’ will go from C2-1 to C1 (A[ ][ ] is the array)

Step 4: Now, we will fill the elements of Column C1, starting from Row R2-1 till R1+1. The cells which will be filled are marked in the image above in blue color.

The elements will be accessed as follows: A[j][C1], where ‘j’ will go from R2-1 to R1+1 (A[ ][ ] is the array)

The above 4 steps will now repeat with the inner matrix which is marked in white color in the above image. For the inner matrix,

C1 will increase by 1 i.e. it will be C1+1.

C2 will decrease by 1 i.e. it will be C2-1.

R1 will increase by 1 i.e. it will be R1+1.

R2 will decrease by 1 i.e. it will be R2-1.

The above processes will repeat till we have filled in ‘n*n’ values.
