A FUNNY MICROSOFT PUZZLE

Puzzles are part of the aptitude test which is a first round in every software industries recruitment process.We can expect some funny questions in this section.A typical example for this is the following puzzle.

A bear moves some km north and then some km east and some km south and now it reaches the place where it starts from.What is the colour of bear.

It seems to be wacky but it is a tricky question,as the bear reaches starting place in three moves it must be travelled in a triangular structure, which happens only in south pole.Consider the globe imagine travelling along the longitudes towards north from south pole and take diversion to east and travel towards south in the longitude.As the color of the bear in poles are white the answer to this question is white.

Cookies-The authenticator

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APPLET AND STANDALONE APPLICATION

Standalone application are created to execute in system where it is installed but applets are used to create dynamic pages of the website that is to be run by browser.Consider for example when you create an applet that contains the line
a=a+1;
the line is executed infinite number of times as far as the applet is running.We can convert any applet to standalone application by modifying the applet with main() function.Since java is a powerful language that can be able to take the control of whole system it denies some permissions for unsigned applets because applet are to be run on remote system in a browser.

WINDOWS-BATCH FILE

Windows batch file is nothing but a line by line collection of commands that are executed in command prompt.To create a batch file open the notepad and type the commands line by line and save as of type .bat.For example consider the following example
cd c:\\images
del a.gif
and save the file as example.bat.
When you double click the above created batch file a.gif in the images folder is deleted.
