Rain Rain go away
After another busy and rainy week had an ambrosial meal at Pizzeria Uno , I feel they serve the best pizza in the world . The shroom chicken pizza with stir fried chicken followed by a delicious Sizzling brownie with icecream made a perfect meal and was sufficient to recharge my soul after a hectic week .
It rained whole week and sometimes traffic made our journey from office to home, seem like an eternity !We need to find a carpool SOON!!!!
My current project involves a lot of c++ , xml code and I am simply amazed by the number of libraries C++ offers.We use RWCString class quite often for manipulation of strings , it makes string operations much easier by handling single as well as multibyte character sets.
This simple example shows the beauty of handling strings
#include <>
#include
int main(){
RWCString a(”There is no joy in Beantown.”);
std::cout << a << endl << "becomes...." << std::endl;
RWTRegex re("[A-Z][a-z]*town"); // Any capitalized "town"
a.replace(re, "Roswell");
std::cout << a << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Program output:
There is no joy in Roswell.
There are similar functions available with this class and as we have a paid licence for using this class, it has been used very often in the related programs .
I Cant resist mentioning this incidence in my blog which happened last week. My dear friend was returning from work at around 11:30 p.m. and there were quite a few people on road.Two overly drunk guys started following him and started swearing for absolutely no reason.He turned back and that became the reason for the mishap. Like complete psychos they started bashing this poor fellow,the attack was so unexpected that it took some time for him to register what was happening.There were people on road but noone even felt like stopping by and asking, let alone helping him .Luckily Rajesh (another friend of mine) was passing by and immediately called up cops, within 5 minutes cops arrived. By this time his nose was bleeding and face swollen still somehow he managed to catch hold of those guys.Cops simply noted down their names and asked them to leave saying they neither had any weapon nor they saw guys beating him. There are multiple fractures detected in his nose and he is under medication, I am sure he would recover pretty soon ( as he was planning long weekend's trip yesterday ) but I am furious as my innocent friend was a sheer victim of some irresponsible maniacs .
Such incidences keep me wondering about where the next generation is heading to. Today's students are going to be tomorrow's citizens.Psychos like these guys should have been punished severely by university Police, so that next time anyone would think twice before commiting such stupid mistakes and learn lesson in a harder way.
