Internet Addiction Disorder

-
Now internet becomes an addiction because of that today I'm going to write about it. 8.2% of world population addict to internet now a days. Using internet without having any feeling about the surrounding and about the day today responsibilities is called Internet Addiction.Connecting to the internet and wasting time on that causes for mental unbalance.
In 1995,famous American doctor Ivan Goldberg introduced this for the first time.He told that this isn't a common mental disease and should find treatments for this.He called this situation as Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD).But IAD isn't accepting as a disease yet.
Although this is not accepting as a regular mental disease and no treatments,there are some institutes to treat for this disorder .Psychologists and Psychological counselors held advisory services in these places.The center for internet addiction in Pennsylvania is a famous such institute in America.

Dr.Jerald Block who is a psychology specialist of Oregon University of America has explained the symptoms of this situation providing a letter to American Journal of Psychiatry.He has described 4 symptoms......
1) excessive use - often associated with a loss of sense of time or a neglect of basic drives,
 2) withdrawal - including feelings of anger, tension, and/or depression when the computer is inaccessible,
 3) tolerance - including the need for better computer equipment, more software, or more hours of use, and

 4) negative repercussions  - including arguments, lying, poor achievement, social isolation, and fatigue 

 Mr.David Greenfield in America ;specialist who has written the book "Virtual Addiction"says among every 100 internet users 6 of them are addicted to internet.
You can do a self test about internet addiction.The following website provides a questionnaire.You can classify your addiction according to your answer.

C# Analog Clock

Today we are going to design analog clock as the first post in 2017. We can add digital clock to C# form very easily using “DateTimePicker”. Analog Clock cannot add like that. We must design it for our form. Let’s design an analog clock. First of all add a new form (Analog Clock) to your application. Next add a “pictureBox” and a “timer” to the form. As the next step write the following code. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Drawing.Printing; using System.Globalization; using System.IO; namespace Clock {     public partial class Form1 : Form     {         Bitmap bmp;         Graphics g;         Timer t = new Timer ();      int WIDTH = 100, HEIGHT = 100, secHAND = 50, minHAND = 50, hrHAND =  25;       int cx, cy;         public Form1()

Basic Prolog (List)

1.       How to find last element from a list Code: lastelement([A],A). lastelement([_|A],B):- lastelement(A,B). Output: lastelement([a,b,c,d],X). X = d . 2.       How to find n th element of a list Code: element_at(X,[X|_],1). element_at(X,[_|T],Y):- element_at(X,T,Y1), Y is Y1+1. Output: element_at(X,[a,b,c,d],2). X = b . 3.       How to check whether the element available or not Code: mem([X|_],X). mem([_|T],X):- mem(T,X). Output: mem([a,b,c,d],a). true .  4.       How to print all members Code: mem([X|_],X). mem([_|T],X):- mem(T,X). Output: mem([a,b,c,d],X). X = a ; X = b ; X = c ; X = d ; false. There is a “Prolog” keyword to find member of list. We can use it directly. 4.1. ?- member(X,[a,b,c,d]). X = a ; X = b ; X = c ; X = d. 4.2. ?- member(b,[a,b,c,d]). True 5.       How to find the length of the list Code: list_length([],0). list_length([_|T],X):- list_length(T,X1),X is X1+1. O

SOLID Principles

In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concept, SOLID principles are the acronym for five Object-Oriented Design (OOD) principles. These SOLID principles are used to improve the understand-ability, flexibility and maintainability of the code.   S.O.L.I.D. Stands For? 1.      S - Single-responsibility principle 2.      O - Open-closed principle 3.      L - Liskov substitution principle 4.      I - Interface segregation principle 5.      D - Dependency Inversion Principle   Let’s see what is the exact meaning of each principle using an example. Ex: There is an online store. A registered customer can place an order and purchase them using the card or make payment when delivering the order. Let’s move to the principles again.   1.      Single-Responsibility Principle The common definition of this principle is “A class should have one and only one reason to change, meaning that a class should have only one job.” When we consider the above online store, there is a class
