I found out that it is said that about 2/3 of software engineers in India are trained by NIIT , why there are still so many people willing to be trained by NIIT

yeah, and about 90% of the Indian "software engineers" work as phone support techs.

...

NIIT is stated as the No.1 and largest IT trainer in Asia ( some articles even state that NO.1 and largest IT trainer in world )

every diploma mill loves to focus on their size and number of studets. why would you think that size is some kind of important metric? quantity does not equal quality. the reason they're so huge is that they have ZERO standards for their admissions. any high-functioning retard with a checkbook or handful of cash can get in.

...

NIIT has helped IBM to train most of the IT professionals in the company . As we know , IBM is really top in the field of IT , if the standard of teaching of NIIT is not good , why such a top company will co-operate with it ?

you're talking about "IBM-India". Not IBM. and the politics behind IBM offshoring half their company is a complex subject. And most of the work you're talking about involves answering questions like "why doesn't my computer turn on?" and "why am i not getting my email?"

I'm posting these facts here just to clarify my …

>> I guess I'll take this opportunity to tell things which have been bothering me for quite some time after the upgrade:

• The font family; it's bad IMO, to an extent that the font face ends up giving more importance to the surrounding bell-n-whistles and less importance to the content. Many here would agree with me that we have to *squint* our eyes to read the question. This is amplified by the smaller font used inside quotes having the same font family.
• The color scheme used; I really don't have problem with purple but the way a post is represented (white background inside light gray) again ends up putting strain on the eyes.
• Different colors for read/unread threads. Icons are nice but the link color *needs* to change. This is because it has been always this way. If I have to look at images to see which threads I've read/not read, it ends up being quite a bother.

Other than these things, I really don't see anything else which would be a big hindrance when browsing/using the site for a long period of time

>> well they have a phone number I'd love to hear them tell that directly. it would be a fun fight

>> Just leave out the quote tags. Why do all that extra work?

because i actually do like the grey bar with Username as a sort of frame for the quote.

and it really only takes about 10 seconds.

>> The discussion is theoretical and opinion and not helpful to a new student learning the basics

well, that covers about half of the posts around here :P

oh. my. god.

get rid of that "gets" statement right now. replace it with "fgets"

and change your "void main" to "int main(void)" while youre at it, since that is sloppy practice.

but seriously, "gets" is some effed up shiite. never ever use it.

ever.

and, really, "conio.h"? "clrscr()"?? getch()???

where the hell are you getting your instruction from? your teacher needs to be hit upside the head with a board.

oh, let me guess: India. right?

.

&q has a different type to q, so any good compiler would complain about incompatible pointer assignments

yes, you're right.

even though it works for this trivial example, not casting it properly is a bad habit to get into.

the correct way to initialize it is:

char q[16];
char *p = [b](char *)[/b]&q;
strcpy(q,"abc");

I'm not saying you cant look for the end of file. what i said is this:

if you really feel you must look for the End of File marker, then use "feof()".

as for the EOF macro, it's not standardized. It can have different values depending on compiler. It can also be a catchall for various error codes. or ... not.

eyah, maybe it'll for your application, but if someone thinks that's "consistent", i'd like to see what they consider to be "inconsistent"

here you go:

#define GIT_R_DUN   3.00
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main()
{
   double x = GIT_R_DUN;
   printf("root of %f = %f\n",x,sqrt(x));
}

if questioned, tell your professor that NO ONE in the "real world" writes this stuff from scratch, then ask him if he's ever had a "real job". If he still complains, send him here to talk to me.

Ezzeral, unfortunately Sinkula thinks we're all so stupid that he can pass snarky witticisms and thinly-veiled ad hominems off as meaningful answers.
