1) Addition: Alt + =
Adding or Sum is being used quite often. To ease out your work you can get to the end of a column or Row of your data and type ALT + symbol, a SUM function will appear with selected Row/Column. You just need to press ENTER to get the desired result.

2) Quick Access Functions: Shift + F3
This to INSERT FUNCTION without using a Mouse button clicking on (fx).

3) Reveal Formula: Ctrl + ~
If you’d like to get a quick view of the formulas that are being used in your Excel sheet, ‘Ctrl and ~’ will quickly reveal all. And to get Excel Back in a normal press the combination key again.

4) Turn Filters On/ Off: Ctrl + Shift + L
The more data an Excel sheet has, the more sensible it is to use filters to classify and analyze them easily. To turn on and off filters simply press: Ctrl + Shift + L (make sure the data you want to filter is highlighted/ selected).

5) Add Comments in a Cell: Shift + F2
To Insert a Comment to particular cell use SHIFT + F2.

6) Insert the Date & Time:
For the current time: CTRL + SHIFT + :
For the current date: CTRL + :

7) create a Chart: Alt + F1
This shortcut creates a chart out of the data in the current range (selected cells). Alt + F1 create a chart on the current sheet. F11 creates a chart in a new sheet.

8) Format a Cell: Ctrl + 1
If you need to format a cell or a group of cells but do not know the specific shortcut, hold ‘Ctrl and 1’ to open the “Format Cells” command box. From here, you can select the necessary formats.

9) Navigate between Worksheets: Ctrl + Page Up, Ctrl + Page Down

Standard and Formatted Input / Output in C++

The C++ standard libraries provide an extensive set of input/output capabilities which we will see in subsequent chapters. This chapter will discuss very basic and most common I/O operations required for C++ programming. C++ I/O occurs in streams, which are sequences of bytes. If bytes flow from a device like a keyboard, a disk drive, or a network connection etc. to main memory, this is called input operation and if bytes flow from main memory to a device like a display screen, a printer, a disk drive, or a network connection, etc., this is called output operation . Standard Input and Output in C++ is done through the use of streams . Streams are generic places to send or receive data. In C++, I/O is done through classes and objects defined in the header file <iostream> . iostream stands for standard input-output stream. This header file contains definitions to objects like cin , cout , etc. /O Library Header Files There are...

Genetic Algorithm: Population, Fitness Function, Parent Selection, Cross over, Mutation

Genetic Algo Population Population is a subset of solutions in the current generation. It can also be defined as a set of chromosomes. There are several things to be kept in mind when dealing with GA population − The diversity of the population should be maintained otherwise it might lead to premature convergence. The population size should not be kept very large as it can cause a GA to slow down, while a smaller population might not be enough for a good mating pool. Therefore, an optimal population size needs to be decided by trial and error. The population is usually defined as a two dimensional array of – size population, size x, chromosome size . Population Initialization There are two primary methods to initialize a population in a GA. They are − Random Initialization − Populate the initial population with completely random solutions. Heuristic initialization − Populate the initial population using a known heuristic for the problem. It has been observed that the e...

Difference between net platform and dot net framework...

Difference between net platform and dot net framework... .net platform supports programming languages that are .net compatible. It is the platform using which we can build and develop the applications. .net framework is the engine inside the .net platform which actually compiles and produces the executable code. .net framework contains CLR(Common Language Runtime) and FCL(Framework Class Library) using which it produces the platform independent codes. What is the .NET Framework? The Microsoft .NET Framework is a platform for building, deploying, and running Web Services and applications. It provides a highly productive, standards-based, multi-language environment for integrating existing investments with next-generation applications and services as well as the agility to solve the challenges of deployment and operation of Internet-scale applications. The .NET Framework consists of three main parts: the common language runtime, a hierarchical set of unified class librari...
