Google Search’s learning curve is an odd one. You use it every day, but still all you know is how to search. But the search engine has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. Here’s an overview of some of the most useful Google search tricks, from basic tips to new features just recently released. 1. Use quotes to search for an exact phrase. This one’s a well-known, simple trick: searching a phrase in quotes will yield only pages with the same words in the same order as what’s in the quotes. It’s one of the most vital search tips, especially useful if you’re trying to find results containing a specific a phrase. 2. Use an asterisk within quotes to specify unknown or variable words. Here’s a lesser known trick: searching a phrase in quotes with an asterisk replacing a word will search all variations of that phrase. It’s helpful if you’re trying to determine a song from its lyrics, but you couldn’t make out the entire phrase (e.g. “imagine all the * living for today”), or i...
Many people are curious as to what exactly the differences are between PDF and EPUB. Th Epub vs Pdf ey can’t quite understand why everyone seems so excited for EPUB. What’s so great about that format as opposed to all the others? In fact, people are excited about EPUB in particular over other reflowable eBook formats because it’s the first open eBook standard based on existing specifications with actual industry support. In the article, I’d like to have simple introduction of PDF and EPUB eBook formats, then make comparison between PDF and EPUB. Definition about EPUB and PDF EPUB, called electronic publication format, is probably the most common of all the formats and is widely supported across all platforms. Most e-Readers like Apple’s iBooks, Barnes & Noble’s Nook, Adobe Digital Editions, Aldiko on Android among others (nearly 300) support .EPUB files. The EPUB format is an open standard. That means it is free and publicly available though there are specifi...
Hi everyone, We’ve already discussed what a variable is, so now let’s talk about control structures . What on earth is a control structure!? Wiki describes it as follows: A control structure is a block of programming that analyzes variables and chooses a direction in which to go based on given parameters . The term flow control details the direction the program takes (which way program control “flows”). Hence it is the basic decision-making process in computing ; flow control determines how a computer will respond when given certain conditions and parameters . H’okay, so, that definition is obviously a bunch of technical terms that no beginner to programming would understand. So let me try to describe it in more human terms. When a program is running, the code is being read by the computer line by line (from top to bottom , and for the most part left to right ), just like you would read a book. This is known as the “ code flow “, now...
