Advantages of good ergonomics?
Ergonomics refers to the practice of altering a job to fit the needs of a worker. This can be a benefit, because it gets work done at a higher quality, but can also generate results that aren't what a company was originally expecting.
How do you type the trademark sign on the computer?
On a PC with a full keyboard, you hold down the ALT key, and then, on the number keypad, type in 0-1-7-4.
What time of loop is used when you know how many times the loop instructions should be processed?
It's best to use a for loop.
For example, if you want 10 iterations:
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
// Any commands you write here will repeat 10 times.
}
How do you enter 'cube' into a computer?
Depends on the software. In Excel 3 cubed is entered as =3^3. The answer being 27.
What is strong-typing versus weak-typing?
Weak typing is where a language allows you to treat blocks of memory defined as one type as another (casting). Languages like C and C++, although statically typed, are weakly typed.
Languages like Perl and PHP are weakly typed because you can do things like adding numbers to strings and the language will do an implicit coercion for you.
Languages like Java, C# and Python are strongly typed - there is no way you can add a number to a string without doing an explicit conversion.
In addition, there are many large systems that have been created with dynamic type systems. Catching type errors (typos) at compile time only catches a very small proportion of errors and a strong testing strategy produces much more reliable systems irrespective of the type system in use.
Strong type is checking the types of variables at compile time. weak typing is checking the types of the system at run-time. For scripts & quick stuff we'll use weak typing, In big programs, strong typing can reduce errors at compile time
The above answer is not 100% correct. C++ doesn't allow for an integer (int) to be added to a string, unless you mean appending. In which case, C# and Java behave in similar fashion by doing an implicit conversion. For a better answer see the answer to "Strongly typed programming language" in this site.

Strong typing provides greater type safety. You might have specially heard it about DataSets being strongly typed, where instead of referring columns as datacolumns(index).value, you create an XML schema from which you make a dataset derived class. Strong typing is preferred as there remains no type ambiguity. Another example is, turning on Option strict in VB, where you have to do explicit type casts.Instead of running into situation where you get a type that you did not expect and try performing an operation on it, you go for strong typing so that such errors are caught during compile time itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
strong typelanguage specication requires its typing rules strongly (i.e. more or less allowing only those automatic type conversions which do not lose information),
one can refer to the process as strongly typed, if not, as weakly typed.
example in c language
int a;
float b, c;
b=2.2;
c=3.3;
a=b+c;// here we are losing data result is 5 instead of 5.5 because a is an integer
cout< here ouptput 5. if language do not allow to automatic type conversion then it should be strongly type otherwise it is weakly typed. dynamic type:- if compiler know information about the type of variable or data at run time then it is called dynamic type. static type:- if complier get information about type of variable or data at compile time then it is called static type.
List of command used in c language?
It's easy: there are no commands in C, but a few statements (such as: expression, if, else, switch, while, do-while, for, break, continue, return and goto), and countless library functions (like printf, malloc and fopen).
When will you define a method as static in java?
Static keyword when used with a method, specifies that this method belongs to the class and not a particular instance of the class (a.k.a object of the class)
Ex:
public class StaticTest {
public static String getAuthorName() {
return "Anand";
}
}
Here getAuthorName is the static method and it can be accessed without instantiating an object of the class StaticTest. You can access this method as:
String authorName = StaticTest.getAuthorName();
How do you increase font size in typing tutor 6?
I myself have typed this question and searching for answer and you askme. this is not fair.
How fast is the fastest 9 year old typer?
I am not sure, but I am a 9 year old and I average 80 to 90 words per minute. My highest score was 114 words per minute.
A typing test is one taken to know typing skill level, speed, and accuracy.
What is the keyboard shortcut to highlight text in Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac?
Here is one way to do it, in CS4 at least:
1) In "Acrobat" - "Preferences", select the "General" category and check the box that says "Use single-key accelerators to access tools"
2) Choose "OK" to save the changes
3) Now in the document, you just need to press "U" on the keyboard to enable the highlight text tool. Pressing "H" will switch you back to the hand.
How do you make a small 2 on a keyboard?
In a WYSIWYG editor you will have a Text>Format option, choose "Superscript"
Answers.comTo raise the text and make it smaller, use the toolbar above the text editing field and the 6th button from the left [ x2] The fifth button [x2] lowers the text (Subscript) LinuxInsert special character from a palette or format the text in a text editor as "Superscript"What is 4000 words per minute in typing?
A world record that has never, ever been experienced before, and most likely would never be experienced again.
Good typists type between 60-80 words per minute.
Fast typists type between 80-110 words per minute.
Very fast typists can reach speeds of 120 words per minute.
Transcriptionists often reach speeds of 140-160 words per minute.
The best typists can type 160-240 words per minute.
The world record for typing speed is 360 words per minute with a 97.23% accuracy rate (meaning very few mistakes).
4,000 words per minute would be a record that would hold forever!
turn on num lock. you need to have a full keyboard for this. hold the alt key and press 0179. release the alt key. the numbers at the top of the keyboard do not work for these special numbers. you need the numbers at the right of the regular keyboard for this to work. :D
How does setting an indent differ from setting page margin?
There are two kinds of indents. The first is called a hanging indent and it looks like this:
The time has come for all good men to go to the aid of their country. The time has come for all good men to go to the aid of their county. The time has come for all good men to go to the aid of their country.
Hanging indent means that the first line of the text is left hanging out in front of the remainder of the text which is indented beneath it.
The second kind of indent is the margin indent. It changes the margins for subparagraphs or is used for a visual cue that brings attention to something specific. In this case, nothing is left hanging like above. Instead, all the lines are flush to the new margins of the involved text. Once finished with a margin indent, you return to the regular margins of the document. Think of it as sort of a temporary margin within your document. It look like this:
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy red dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy red dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy red dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy red dog.
Now, we're back at the regular margin of the document as you can see on the left. This is where a keyboardist continues with the main body of the text.
The page margin is the margin for most of your text and sets the boundaries for the entire document whereas the margin indent within a document is a temporary margin for subparagraphs and other visual cuesWhat are the symboles acrocc the top of a key board etc?
The very top ones are function keys. The number ones are: Exclamation Mark, At sign, Pound, Dollar sign, Percent, Circumflex accent, And sign, Asterisk, and Left and Right Parenthesis.
How do i type the a with a circlely thing around it?
@...the AT symbol is located...on my 'own' keyboard, at least, next to the [COLON(:)/SEMI-COLON(;)] key. It's above the [single quote(')/(@)]...that means it's an UPPER CASE symbol.
To obtain UPPER CASE 'letters/symbols/numbers' that are shown on your keyboard...you need to...
1. press, and, hold down the [SHIFT] button key...
-(which is, usually, shown as being an 'upwards arrow'...there are two [SHIFT] button keys, each located on either side of the keyboard, next to/and, on top of both the [CTRL] keys)-
2. ...whilst at the same time, pressing down the [@] symbol key.

SOME FURTHER NOTES
ASCII/American Standard Code for Information Interchange, uses the numbers:
-> 65-90, to represent UPPER CASE alphabet letters: A-Z
-> 97-122, to represent 'lower case' alphabet letters: a-z
-etc.
You can have a go at experimenting, try typing in all of the ASCII code numbers: 0-255;
to discover seeing what character comes up, next...?!
NOTE: Some ASCII number codes are, in fact, 'invisible' characters that will NOT display...;
such as ASCII number 32 represents a [SPACEBAR] key invisible 'space' character/
too, there is the invisible [TAB] character key which also won't display/-etc.
When do you use the alt key and ctrl key?
Alt and Ctrl key are special keys. Then can be used as quick menu button or can be used to execute a program. You can also use them to do a shortcut key command.
