Crucial blogging mistakes that Need to Avoid

2012-04-19T23:49:00.007-07:00

Bloggers are usually an enthusiastic bunch. The fact that they have decided into go into blogging means they want to leverage its potential to improve the credibility of their business and sell their products and services; or they just want to share their personal opinions, suggestions, ideas and knowledge about their area of expertise with their readers.

Successful bloggers are a success because they Avoid certain Pitfalls, which help the popularity of their blogs skyrocket. Let’s take a look at some of these pitfalls or mistakes:

Expecting Too Much Too Early

Everybody is looking for success and they all want it NOW! But, success should be backed by Quality efforts and also requires you to invest a lot of time into the proceedings; this fact also remains true for your blogging activities. You are not the only blogger out there and even if you have identified a specific niche, there will still be other bloggers catering to that niche. So, the competition is tough. In spite of your best efforts, it will still take time for your blog to create an impression, and earn the kind of attention that you are looking for. So be patient and keep trying.

Irregular Blog Posts

This is a blog killer. Say you have established yourself as a leading authority on a specific niche. Blog readers come to your blog regularly to read your posts, but what if they begin finding a long gap between two blog posts. They might start visiting your blog sporadically or stop visiting altogether. Irregularity in posting your blogs has the potential to kill it. So, make sure that you update your blog regularly. You can make a post every day, every two days or for that matter every week – but the bottom line is that you need to be regular.

No Chutzpah in the Content

Your blog won’t work if your content doesn’t have the passion and the energy that is associated with blogging. Many a times, where bloggers fail is that it seems that their posts have been written just for the heck of it and not because they were actually interested in blogging. Their content looks and sounds lame and doesn’t interest the reader at all. There is no fire in it and it has no redeeming quality whatsoever. If you want your blog readers to know that you are actually interested in sharing information in the form of blog posts with them, then the content must reflect this fact. Remember, the blog is more of a personal attempt to connect with readers through content. If your blog content isn’t appealing or engaging, it is going to end up a failure.

Irrelevant Content

If your blog content is in no way connected to the purpose of the blog as defined by you, it’s not going to work. For e.g. if the purpose behind your blog is offering SEO tips and it goes ahead and offers information about topics that are in no way related to SEO, your blog will be regarded as offering irrelevant content to users. They come searching for SEO tips and they don’t find a lot of relevant information regarding SEO on it. This affects its credibility and your Reputation as a blogger.

Not Replying to Blog Comments

The very fact that your blog is attracting comments is a good thing, but the fact that you don’t reply to these comments is like committing hara-kiri. Of course, there is no point in answering comments that have been put purely for link Building purposes, but you must make it a point to answer the genuine comments, if they are in the form of query or a doubt or even a criticism of what you have written. By answering such comments, you are telling people that you actually care about the reputation of your blog and believe in everything that you have put on the blog and are willing to defend it.

By avoiding these pitfalls, you can not only save your blog from being a failure, but also ensure that your blog actually becomes quite popular and goes on to achieve all its goals.

Tips To Bloggers To Handle Multiple Blogs

2012-04-19T23:43:00.001-07:00

1. Evaluate Your Abilities And Be Realistic

Know how many hours you can devote to blogging and understand your other limitations. Consider also your writing style and speed, and the time you’ll need to update each blog.

2. Select Topics That You Know And Love

It’s hard to keep churning out content to feed multiple blogs, harder still if you don’t feel for the topic. You’ll also save a great deal of time blogging about something you know really well, versus researching unfamiliar subjects.

3. Create A Posting Schedule

Determine a posting frequency for each blog and create a monthly or quarterly posting schedule accordingly. Don’t overload certain days with work; spread out your writing work over the week. Create a list of possible topics for each blog and post them according to your schedule.

4. Write A Little Extra Ahead Of Time

Whenever you have an hour or two to spare, clank out a couple of posts and put them aside. You will feel ahead of the game and feel more enthused, knowing you won’t be caught short.

5. Use Guest Bloggers

Be sure to allow guest bloggers to link back to their blog and if possible, offer Adsense revenue sharing. Create a separate page for guest blogs from your reader base as well. Doing this will ensure there’s fresh content on your site both for readers and for search engines.

6. Hire Blog Writers And Editor

If you can afford it, get a couple of freelance writers to write your posts for you. You can even get a part time or full time blog editor to manage your multiple blogs. If you can get another blogger to share your responsibilities for a share in revenue, exposure, backlinks or support barter, go for it.

7. Determine Your Blogging Objectives

Make a list of all your blogs and the blogging objective of each. Are you monetizing all your blogs? Are all your blogs equally important? Listing out the objectives will help you understand exactly which blogs you need to keep and prioritize.

8. Divide Your Blogging Time

Determine if your blogs are startups, mature or midway; this will help you understand time allocation for each. The amount of time you have to devote to a mature blog is slightly lesser than a startup blog. Divide the total time you have in terms of percentages for each blog.

9. Do Your Best Work When You Are Most Alert

Know your body clock; are you most active towards the evening or early in the morning? Use your most productive time for writing, researching, responding to comments and so on. Use your not-so-productive hours to do other tasks. Reversing this system will still get the work done, but with less optimum results.

10. Evaluate Content Posting Frequency

Once you have an idea of how much time you have and how the time is to be divided among your blogs, evaluate your posting frequency. Determine a conservative figure; don’t go over the top. Don’t decide to deliver more than you can manage and disappoint readers.

11. Divide Your Tasks

Research and promotional activities for blog
Research and promotional activities for niche
Online identity management
miscellaneous tasks
Divide the total number of hours you have into 4 segments; 60% for A and the remaining 40% for B, C and D.

12. Club Common Tasks

For example, you can read RSS feeds, do keyword research, moderate comments and so on using the same Tools for all your blogs. As long as you maintain clear folders for each blog, you can avoid confusion.

13. Use The Right Tools

For example, use Google Reader to gather your RSS feeds in one place; create folders, categorize feeds and tag them. Browse RSS feed titles and star them for later. Explore other tools such as Windows Live writer to blog offline, Twitter Feed to tweet your posts, Bookmarking Service to bookmark your post to any Social Media site.

14. Forward All Your Emails To One Account

Use Gmail as your single email server; create folders and labels for emails pertaining to different blogs and organize similar tasks. This keeps all your emailing in one central location.

15. Maintain A Calendar And ToDo List

Create comprehensive ToDo lists for each day/week. Use either Outlook or Google Calendar to mark important events. Sign up for SMS Notification. This way you’ll always know what you need to do and when.

Blogging Is Not A Crime

2008-09-30T06:24:00.000-07:00

Blogging Is Not A Crime

I found this arresting chart on Swivel. It plots the number of bloggers who have been incarcerated over the past few years, based on data collected by the World Information Access project. The number of incidents it tracks went from five arrests in 2003 to 35 last year. As blogging expands internationally, so do the risk of speaking one’s mind. (Something many of us take for granted).

Most of those arrests are in countries with oppressive regimes, such as Egypt, China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. But bloggers have been arrested in Canada, France, Greece, and even the U.S. (with Josh Wolf being one of the most famous incidents—he spent the better part of a year in jail for refusing to turn over journalistic video footage to a grand jury).

A few involve cases of alleged terrorism or pedophilia, but the majority involve some form of political speech. Some typical examples:

Reza Valizadeh (Iran; November, 2007). “For revealing Iranian president’s overpriced dogs that his security team uses.”
Charles Leblanc (Canada; June, 2006): “For taking pictures at a conference for his blog.”
Josh Wolf (USA; August, 2006): “For videotaping a burning police car.”
Hu Jia (China; December, 2007): “For posting his vocal critiques of human rights abuses and environmental degradation in China and calling the Olympics a ‘human rights disaster.’”
Reza Valizadeh (Iran; November, 2007): “For revealing Iranian president’s overpriced dogs that his security team uses.”
Nay Phone Latt (Burma; January, 2008): “For posting pictures of monks and people demonstrating on the streets.”

What is Copy right

2008-09-27T10:11:00.001-07:00

Copyright Issues

The hot topic on web always will be Copyright. What is this copyright? And why people won’t allow you to copy their content. This is my target topic today which inspired me to write this article.
Being online from last 2 years, I saw almost all the blogs and sites will include a copyright link mentioning not to copy their content without permission. Are they really taking the rights on that content or just warning the visitors by keeping a simple menu called Copyright. These are all unanswered questions.
But here, is that really necessary to take copyrights or warn users not to copy. I would say it’s not necessary as far as it’s a book or something important you are inventing into web through your blog.
Anyway here am not covering all about copyrights like how to take rights? What to do if anyone violates them? If you are really interested to know them visit labnol.org where Amit covered all those faqs.
But the conclusion from my side is until you are doing something extra which is not reproducible by others, you don’t need to take rights and warn visitors not to copy that. I don’t mind if my visitors copy content from TZI. Because from this I will get link back and intern traffic from that.
But the people who are copying content need to remember that copying content won’t help you anymore. Ofcourse you can take some content or idea from that article or anything limited.

Simple tips to Promote blog ourself

9 Simple tips to Promote blog yourself

I am sharing some of the tips I observed in promoting Blog yourselves. Here you don’t need to ask some one to view your blog or no need to request anyone for anything. You just need to observe and use the resources around you.

Here are some of the sources I observed:

1. Include blog URL in signatures: This is a powerful media to drive the traffic again and again. Naturally you will send tons of mail from your inbox to friends, colleague and to many known and unknown people. So if you include URL in signature, it’s natural that people will click on your URL to know what that is. Here you need to attract them to visit again and again. For that you should have an interesting content on your blog. So just include it and receive the traffic.

One more important thing I forgot to say, People will forward your mail to many people in long run so your URL will travel around the web.

2. Place URL in IM’s: Do place your URL in IM’s like Gtalk, Yahoo messenger, MSN, AOL and etc….

3. Place it in Social Networking Profiles: Yes, do mention URL in profiles of social networking site like Orkut, Facebook, Hi5, MySpace and etc…

4. Submit to Search Engines: Don’t forget to submit your blog to search engines like Google, Yahoo, Live, Cuil and etc…

5. Submit to Social Bookmarking Sites: Promote your content on Social Bookmarking Sites like Digg.com, Reddit.com, StumbleUpon.com, Del.icio.us and etc…

6. Share links with other Bloggers: This is really a powerful trick to drive traffic in the initial stages of your blog. Do share links with Blogs under your niche.

7. Place feed headlines in your other Blogs: If you own multiple blogs, it’s always good to place feed headlines from Feedburner on your blogs. And also place a section called my blogs or my network to let visitors know that you own more that one blog.

8. Comments on fellow blogs: This is my personal experience; Commenting on other blogs will work like anything. You will get lots of traffic starting from the owner of the blog where you commented to his visitors.

9. Join Blog directories: Now-a-days every Country or City has its own blogging communities maintaining a list of Bloggers from that region or language or etc… By joining in those will drive traffic from your own region or Country.

Steps
These days a lot of revenue is being generated by the online advertising. It is not that a small number that one can ignore.
Most of the popular search engines are making billions of dollars by online marketing and advertising.
This is one of the quickest and easiest way to earn money.
For this all you need to do is buy a web space and start creating a website or use free service provided by many vendors online.
In the first case you can get a most appropriate URL (a link to your website) with a .com extension.
In the second case you need to settle with some of the names that the vendor will provide with a very long tail attached with the URL before the .com
If your URL is big then people may not remember you website that easily. But, if you want something free you need to compromise certain things.
Once you decide which way is better then you can go ahead and build a website.
If you are looking for a free web space then you can use google blogger, yahoo blogger, wordpress etc., they will provide you with free web space as well as give you some basic templates which you can use to create a website.

Hackers into BigBang

2008-09-14T23:06:00.000-07:00

The hackers reportedly mounted an attack on the Large Hadron Collider, which has raised eyebrows over the security of this historic experiment in the world, as it surpasses a vital milestone.
Scientists say that it was a competition between two hacker groups - known in hacking circles as 2600 and 1337, that led them to break into the experiment just before it was to begin.
2600, also known as the Greek Security Team broke into the experiment and left a message saying, "We are 2600.. don't mess with us..." The scientists who were behind the mammoth experiment had received threatening emails prior to the start.
No real damage done, but the hackers got perilously close. The hackers attacked the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment, or CMS.
Scientists working at Cern, the organisation that runs the vast smasher, were worried about what the hackers could do because they were "one step away" from the computer control system of one of the huge detectors of the machine, a vast magnet that weighs 12,500 tons, measuring around 21 metres in length and 15 metres wide.
If they had hacked into a second computer network, they could have turned off parts of the vast detector and, said the insider, "it is hard enough to make these things work if no one is messing with it."
Fortunately, only one file was damaged but one of the scientists firing off emails as the CMS team fought off the hackers said it was a "scary experience". The hackers breached the CMSMON system, which monitors the CMS software system. CMS takes vast amounts of data during collisions.

Right now the technology is Read Only but I do believed that soon they will release the Re-write version of this DVD. But how much will the machine to rewrite this DVD cost?
Let us see what will happen next. Maybe I have to go back to this post after a year?
Anyway, it is really great that Technology is advancing. Just imagine if your regular DVD could hold about 4 movies, this DVD would hold about 200 + Movies.

VISUAL STUDIO 2008 Advantages

2008-08-29T07:20:00.000-07:00

Introduction
Visual Studio 2008 code name "Orcas" Beta 2 has just hit the road and, since it is Beta 2, this means Visual Studio 2008 is feature complete and is ready for RTM. Below, we would find a brief introduction of some of the new features introduced with VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 Beta 2.
A quick list of some of the new features are:
Multi-Targeting support
Web Designer and CSS support
ASP.NET AJAX and JavaScript support
Project Designer
Data
LINQ – Language Integrated Query
The features listed and explained in this paper are not complete and this document intends to give you a forehand to start off with VS 2008.
1. Multi-Targeting Support
Earlier, each Visual Studio release only supported a specific version of the .NET Framework. For example, VS 2003 only works with .NET 1.1, and VS 2005 only works with .NET 2.0.
One of the major changes with the VS 2008 release is to support what Microsoft calls "Multi-Targeting". This means that Visual Studio will now support targeting multiple versions of the .NET Framework, and developers will be able to take advantage of the new features that Visual Studio provides without having to migrate their existing projects and deployed applications to use a new version of the .NET Framework.
Now when we open an existing project or create a new one with VS 2008, we can pick which version of the .NET Framework to work with. The IDE will update its compilers and feature-set to match the chosen .NET Framework.
Features, controls, projects, item-templates, and references that do not work with the selected version of the Framework will be made unavailable or will be hidden.
Unfortunately, support has not been included to work with Framework versions 1.1 and earlier. The present release supports 2.0/3.0 and 3.5 .NET Frameworks.
Microsoft plans to continue multi-targeting support in all future releases of Visual Studio.
Creating a New Project with Visual Studio 2008 that Targets .NET 2.0 Framework Library
The screenshots below depict the creation of a new web application targeting .NET 2.0 Framework. Choose File->New Project. As we see in the snapshot below in the top-right of the new project dialog, there is now a dropdown that allows us to choose which versions of the .NET Framework we want to target when we create the new project. The templates available are filtered depending on the version of the Framework chosen from the dropdown:

Can I Upgrade an Existing Project to .NET 3.5?
When we open a solution created using an older version of Visual Studio and Framework, VS 2008 would ask if migration is required. If we opt to migrate, then a migration wizard would start. If we wish to upgrade our project to target a newer version of the Framework at a later point of time, we can pull up the project properties page and choose the Target Framework. The required assemblies are automatically referenced. The snapshot below shows the properties page with the option Target Framework marked.
2. Web Designer, Editing and CSS Support
One feature that web developers will discover with VS 2008 is its drastically improved HTML designer, and the extensive CSS support made available.
The snapshots below depict some of the new web designer features in-built into VS 2008.
Split View Editing
In addition to the existing views, Design view and Code view, VS 2008 brings along the Split view which allows us to view both the HTML source and the Design View at the same-time, and easily make changes in any of the views. As shown in the image below, as we select a tag in code view, the corresponding elements/controls are selected in design view.
CSS Style Manager
VS 2008 introduces a new tool inside the IDE called "Manage Styles". This shows all of the CSS style sheets for the page.
It can be used when we are in any of the views - design, code and split views. Manage Styles tool can be activated by choosing Format -> CSS Styles -> Manage Styles from the menu. A snapshot of the same would look like the following:
Create a new style using the new style dialog window as show in the snapshot below.
Now, the style manager would show .labelcaption style as well in the CSS styles list. However, if we observe that the body element has a circle around it but the .labelcaption does not have one, this is because the style is not in use yet.
We will not select all the labels below and apply our new style .labelcaption.
We can choose to modify the existing style through GUI using "Modify style..." menu option in the dropdown menu as shown above or choose to hand edit the code by choosing the option "Go To Code".
CSS Source View Intellisense
The designer is equipped with the ability to select an element or control in design-view, and graphically select a rule from the CSS list to apply to it.
We will also find when in source mode that we now have intellisense support for specifying CSS class rules. The CSS Intellisense is supported in both regular ASP.NET pages as well as when working with pages based on master pages.
Code Editing Enhancements
Below is a non-exhaustive list of a few new code editing improvements. There are many more about which I don't know yet.
Transparent Intellisense Mode
While using VS 2005/2003 we often find ourselves escaping out of intellisense in order to better see the code around, and then go back and complete what we were doing.
VS 2008 provides a new feature which allows us to quickly make the intellisense drop-down list semi-transparent. Just hold down the "Ctrl" key while the intellisense drop-down is visible and we will be able to switch it into a transparent mode that enables us to look at the code beneath without having to escape out of Intellisense. The screenshot below depicts the same.
Organize C# Using Statements
One of the small, but a nice new feature in VS 2008 is support for better organizing using statements in C#. We can now select a list of using statements, right-click, and then select the "Organize Usings" sub-menu. When we use this command the IDE will analyze what types are used in the code file, and will automatically remove those namespaces that are declared but not required. A small and handy feature for code refactoring.
3. ASP.NET AJAX and JavaScript Support
JavaScript Intellisense
One new feature that developers will find with VS 2008 is its built-in support for JavaScript Intellisense. This makes using JavaScript and building AJAX applications significantly easier. A double click on HTML control in design mode would automatically create a click event to the button and would create the basic skeleton of the JavaScript function. As we see in the depicted image below, JavaScript Intellisense is inbuilt now. Other JavaScript Intellisense features include Intellisense for external JavaScript libraries and adding Intellisense hints to JavaScript functions.
JavaScript Debugging
One new JavaScript feature in VS 2008 is the much-improved support for JavaScript debugging. This makes debugging AJAX applications significantly easier. JavaScript debugging was made available in VS 2005 itself. However, we had to run the web application first to set the breakpoint or use the "debugger" JavaScript statement.
VS 2008 makes this much better by adding new support that allows us to set client-side JavaScript breakpoints directly within your server-side .aspx and .master source files.
We can now set both client-side JavaScript breakpoints and VB/C# server-side breakpoints at the same time on the same page and use a single debugger to step through both the server-side and client-side code in a single debug session. This feature is extremely useful for AJAX applications. The breakpoints are fully supported in external JavaScript libraries as well.
4. Few Other Features and Enhancements
Below is a list of few other enhancements and new features included in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
Project Designer
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications have been added to Visual Studio 2008. There are four WPF project types:
WinFX Windows Application
WinFX Web Browser Application
WinFX Custom Control Library
WinFX Service Library
When a WPF project is loaded in the IDE, the user interface of the Project Designer pages lets us specify properties specific to WPF applications.
Data
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 includes the following new features to incorporate data into applications:
The Object Relational Designer (O/R Designer) assists developers in creating and editing the objects (LINQ to SQL entities) that map between an application and a remote database
Hierarchical update capabilities in Dataset Designer, providing generated code that includes the save logic required to maintain referential integrity between related tables
Local database caching incorporates an SQL Server Compact 3.5 database into an application and configures it to periodically synchronize the data with a remote database on a server. Local database caching enables applications to reduce the number of round trips between the application and a database server
LINQ – Language Integrated Query
LINQ is a new feature in VS 2008 that broadens great querying capabilities into the language syntax. LINQ introduces patterns for querying and updating data. A set of new assemblies are provided that enable the use of LINQ with collections, SQL databases, and XML documents.
Visual Studio 2008 Debugger
The Visual Studio 2008 debugger has been enhanced with the following features:
Remote debugging support on Windows Vista
Improved support for debugging multithreaded applications
Debugging support for LINQ programming
Debugging support for Windows Communications Foundation
Support for script debugging, including client-side script files generated from server-side script now appear in Solution Explorer
Reporting
Visual Studio 2008 provides several new reporting features and improvements such as:
New Report Projects: Visual Studio 2008 includes two new project templates for creating reporting applications. When we create a new Reports Application project, Visual Studio provides a report (.rdlc) and a form with a ReportViewer control bound to the report.
Report Wizard: Visual Studio 2008 introduces a Report Wizard, which guides us through the steps to create a basic report. After we complete the wizard, we can enhance the report by using Report Designer.
Expression Editor Enhancement: The Expression Editor now provides expressions that we can use directly or customize as required.
PDF Compression: The ReportViewer controls can now compress reports that are rendered or exported to the PDF format.

OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMING CONCEPT

2008-08-29T07:10:00.000-07:00

Why Object Oriented approach?
A major factor in the invention of Object-Oriented approach is to remove some of the flaws encountered with the procedural approach. In OOP, data is treated as a critical element and does not allow it to flow freely. It bounds data closely to the functions that operate on it and protects it from accidental modification from outside functions. OOP allows decomposition of a problem into a number of entities called objects and then builds data and functions around these objects. A major advantage of OOP is code reusability.
Some important features of Object Oriented programming are as follows:
Emphasis on data rather than procedure
Programs are divided into Objects
Data is hidden and cannot be accessed by external functions
Objects can communicate with each other through functions
New data and functions can be easily added whenever necessary
Follows bottom-up approach

Concepts of OOP:
Objects
Classes
Data Abstraction and Encapsulation
Inheritance
Polymorphism

Briefly on Concepts:

Objects
Objects are the basic run-time entities in an object-oriented system. Programming problem is analyzed in terms of objects and nature of communication between them. When a program is executed, objects interact with each other by sending messages. Different objects can also interact with each other without knowing the details of their data or code.

Classes
A class is a collection of objects of similar type. Once a class is defined, any number of objects can be created which belong to that class.

Data Abstraction and Encapsulation
Abstraction refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. Classes use the concept of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes.Storing data and functions in a single unit (class) is encapsulation. Data cannot be accessible to the outside world and only those functions which are stored in the class can access it.

Inheritance
Inheritance is the process by which objects can acquire the properties of objects of other class. In OOP, inheritance provides reusability, like, adding additional features to an existing class without modifying it. This is achieved by deriving a new class from the existing one. The new class will have combined features of both the classes.

Polymorphism
Polymorphism means the ability to take more than one form. An operation may exhibit different behaviors in different instances. The behavior depends on the data types used in the operation. Polymorphism is extensively used in implementing Inheritance.

Advantages of OOP

Object-Oriented Programming has the following advantages over conventional approaches:
OOP provides a clear modular structure for programs which makes it good for defining abstract datatypes where implementation details are hidden and the unit has a clearly defined interface.
OOP makes it easy to maintain and modify existing code as new objects can be created with small differences to existing ones.
OOP provides a good framework for code libraries where supplied software components can be easily adapted and modified by the programmer. This is particularly useful for developing graphical user interfaces.

main() / void main() / int main() / int main(void) / int main(int argc, char *argv[])

2008-08-05T00:43:00.000-07:00

=================================================
main() / void main() / int main() / int main(void) / int main(int argc, char *argv[])

A very common question is "What's the difference between void main and int main?". This particular FAQ tries to answer that and more, covering other versions of the main() implementation.
The first thing to note is that this is one of those topics that people seem to like to argue over for hours, days and more. Some arguments are valid, some are not, and some are just plain old opinion.
The C and C++ standards differ when it comes to main(), so I'll detail each one separately.
For C
Under C89, main() is acceptable, although it is advisable to use the C99 standard, under which only these are acceptable:
int main ( void )int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
Slight variations of the above are acceptable, where int can be replaced by a typedef name defined as int, or the type of argv can be written as char ** argv, and so on.
The first option is used when you do not require access to the command line arguments.
The names argc and argv are identifiers that can be changed if you so desire, but sticking to argc/argv is convention.
The return type of main() must always be an int, this allows a return code to be passed to the invoker.
Under C89, the return statement at the end of main() is required, whereas under C99 if no return statement is present, return 0 is implied. However, it is good programming practice to always use a return statement, even if you don't have to.
For C++
The following are acceptable uses:
int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )int main ()
The first option follows similar conventions to those used by C99.
The second option is used when you do not require access to the command line arguments, and is equivalent to the int main(void) option used by C99.
Again, the return type must always be an int, and the function should return 0; at the end, but it is not required by the standard.
(C) The difference between int main() and int main(void)
A common misconception for C programmers, is to assume that a function prototyped as follows takes no arguments:
int foo();
In fact, this function is deemed to take an unknown number of arguments. Using the keyword void within the brackets is the correct way to tell the compiler that the function takes NO arguments.
What's the deal with void main()
Under regular function calling/returning in C and C++, if your don't ever want to return anything from a function, you define it's return type as void. For example, a function that takes no arguments, and returns nothing can be prototyped as:
void foo(void);
A common misconception is that the same logic can be applied to main(). Well, it can't, main() is special, you should always follow the standard and define the return type as int. There are some exceptions where void main() is allowed, but these are on specialised systems only. If you're not sure if you're using one of these specialised systems or not, then the answer is simply no, you're not. If you were, you'd know it.
Be warned that if you post your "void main" code on the forums, you're going to get told to correct it. Responding with "my teacher said it's OK" is no defence; teachers have a bad habit of being wrong. Be safe, and post only standard code, and you'll find people concentrate on answering your other problems, rather than waste time telling you about this type of thing.
But what about int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
As an extension to the guaranteed standard, an additional parameter to main() can, on some systems, be used to gain access to the environment variables. This is isn't guaranteed to work on all compilers, so use it with care if you want to keep your code portable.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MALLOC CALLOC

2008-08-05T00:42:00.001-07:00

===============================================================
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MALLOC CALLOC

Both malloc and calloc do the same thing with almost the same results, they allocate a block of n * sizeof ( T ) bytes of memory. The difference is in how the functions are called and how the memory block is initialized. malloc is called like so:
p = malloc ( n * sizeof ( T ) );
where the user programmer performs the operation to find the final block size. calloc takes two arguments and performs the operation itself:
p = calloc ( n, sizeof ( T ) );
malloc leaves the block of memory uninitialized, but calloc zero fills the memory. This does not mean that
p = calloc ( 1, sizeof ( int * ) );
will result in a pointer to int with a value of NULL. Zero filled memory does not mean that the memory is filled with the data type's equivalent of 0, so this zero fill cannot be relied on except with integral values such as int or char. Pointers and floating point may use a different representation for 0 than all bits zero.
Because of this zero fill, calloc can be slightly less efficient than malloc.
