    Windows Command Prompt Cheatsheet - Command line interface (as opposed to a GUI - graphical user interface) - Used to execute programs - Commands are small programs that do something useful - There are many commands already included with Windows, but we will use a few. - A filepath is where you are in the filesystem • C: is the C drive • C:\user\Documents is the Documents folder • C:\user\Documents\hello.c is a file in the Documents folder Command What it Does Usage dir Displays a list of a folder’s files dir (shows current folder) and subfolders dir myfolder cd Displays the name of the current cd filepath chdir directory or changes the current chdir filepath folder. cd ..

  • TRSDOS 6.2 to LS-DOS 6.3.0 Manual Update
    LS-DOSÔ 6.3 UPDATE FOR TRSDOSâ 6.2.X The LS-DOS 6.3 release is an upgrade for the TRSDOS 6.2 operating system. Several important changes have been made to extend and enhance the operating system and its utilities. The date ranging has been expanded to accept dates through the year 1999. Files will now carry a modification time as well as a date. The DATECONV/CMD program is provided to translate version 6.2 or earlier disks to the 6.3 style dating. The user password has been eliminated from the system. The owner password still remains. The library command ID was added to display a customer service number. Several enhancements have been made to BASIC. The new DISKCOPY/CMD program will duplicate 5" double density floppy disks. Because the LS-DOS 6.3 update is a series of enhancements to TRSDOS 6.2, the primary documentation remains the 6.2 manual and Technical Reference manual. If you have a version of TRSDOS earlier than 6.2, you can obtain the manuals from Radio Shack under the catalog numbers 26-0316 (TRSDOS Version 6 [6.2 DOS manual and disk]), 26-2110 (Model 4/4D [6.2] Technical Reference Manual), or 26-1117 (6.2 DOS manual only). This documentation should be treated as an addendum to the TRSDOS 6.2 information. LS-DOS 6.3 installation instructions Before performing the upgrade, it is recommended that you make several backup copies of the 6.3 master disk. The simplest way to do this is to boot your system using the 6.3 diskette, insert a blank diskette to receive the copy in drive 1, and type the command: DISKCOPY :0 :1 When the copy finishes, you can insert another destination diskette and make another copy.

  • Writing Mathematical Expressions in Plain Text – Examples and Cautions Copyright © 2009 Sally J
    Writing Mathematical Expressions in Plain Text – Examples and Cautions Copyright © 2009 Sally J. Keely. All Rights Reserved. Mathematical expressions can be typed online in a number of ways including plain text, ASCII codes, HTML tags, or using an equation editor (see Writing Mathematical Notation Online for overview). If the application in which you are working does not have an equation editor built in, then a common option is to write expressions horizontally in plain text. In doing so you have to format the expressions very carefully using appropriately placed parentheses and accurate notation. This document provides examples and important cautions for writing mathematical expressions in plain text. Section 1. How to Write Exponents Just as on a graphing calculator, when writing in plain text the caret key ^ (above the 6 on a qwerty keyboard) means that an exponent follows. For example x2 would be written as x^2. Example 1a. 4xy23 would be written as 4 x^2 y^3 or with the multiplication mark as 4*x^2*y^3. Example 1b. With more than one item in the exponent you must enclose the entire exponent in parentheses to indicate exactly what is in the power. x2n must be written as x^(2n) and NOT as x^2n. Writing x^2n means xn2 . Example 1c. When using the quotient rule of exponents you often have to perform subtraction within an exponent. In such cases you must enclose the entire exponent in parentheses to indicate exactly what is in the power. x5 The middle step of ==xx52− 3 must be written as x^(5-2) and NOT as x^5-2 which means x5 − 2 .

  • Modeling Data Heritage with Sybase Powerdesigner®
    MODELING DATA HERITAGE WITH SYBASE POWERDESIGNER® THE ENTERPRISE. UNWIRED. WHITE PAPER Knowing where our data came from and where it is going is one of the most challenging aspects of managing today’s data center. As our systems become more integrated and interdependent, through replication, ware- housing and system integration efforts, the impact of a change on any data element can be huge. Having the ability to document, and then report on, data heritage, allows users to more effectively and efficiently predict the impact of a change, as well as streamline its implementation. Managing Data Heritage, the sources and targets of data, require a 21st century modeling tool like Sybase PowerDesigner. REQUIREMENTS FOR MANAGING DATA HERITAGE When managing data heritage, it is important to be able to clearly document the data elements (aliases, format, statistics and other quality indicators), document the sourcing information and target data systems information (including transformation rules), and stewardship information (who created and modified the data elements, security and access rights and history). Starting with the processes, users need to be able to trace to all data elements (and any interim elements) to all final implementation points. To achieve this, users need to document: ■ All data processes with business definitions and requirements ■ All data items at a conceptual level with business definitions and stewardship details ■ All physical data (Tables/Columns) with version history ■ All dependencies between source and target tables and columns A TOOLSET AND A SOLUTION: BUILDING BLOCKS FOR DATA HERITAGE To address these needs, PowerDesigner offers rich process modeling, data analysis and design techniques that capture and manage the dependency metadata needed to document data heritage.

  • PL/SQL Data Types
    PPLL//SSQQLL -- DDAATTAA TTYYPPEESS http://www.tutorialspoint.com/plsql/plsql_data_types.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com PL/SQL variables, constants and parameters must have a valid data type, which specifies a storage format, constraints, and valid range of values. This tutorial will take you through SCALAR and LOB data types available in PL/SQL and other two data types will be covered in other chapters. Category Description Scalar Single values with no internal components, such as a NUMBER, DATE, or BOOLEAN. Large Object LOB Pointers to large objects that are stored separately from other data items, such as text, graphic images, video clips, and sound waveforms. Composite Data items that have internal components that can be accessed individually. For example, collections and records. Reference Pointers to other data items. PL/SQL Scalar Data Types and Subtypes PL/SQL Scalar Data Types and Subtypes come under the following categories: Date Type Description Numeric Numeric values on which arithmetic operations are performed. Character Alphanumeric values that represent single characters or strings of characters. Boolean Logical values on which logical operations are performed. Datetime Dates and times. PL/SQL provides subtypes of data types. For example, the data type NUMBER has a subtype called INTEGER. You can use subtypes in your PL/SQL program to make the data types compatible with data types in other programs while embedding PL/SQL code in another program, such as a Java program.

Programming is the process of converting ideas into instructions that a computer can understand and execute. These instructions are specific and sequential. You can think of it as a recipe. Let's you want to prepare your favorite food; you would need first a list of ingredients and then a set of instructions as to which ingredients go in first. If you have ever cooked before or watched someone cook before you will know that the amount of each ingredient can dramatically affect the outcome. Computers are very literal. They try to execute our commands exactly. When we give them bad instructions, we might introduce bugs or even make the computer crash.
