Learn how to use booleans in C and discover the native support introduced in C99. C, originally, did not have built-in boolean values. However, with the release of C99 in 1999/2000, a boolean type was introduced. Although it requires importing a header file, it is commonly referred to as a “native” boolean type. Let’s explore how to use it. To begin, include the necessary header files: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdbool.h> Now, you can use the bool type as follows:...

In the world of Swift programming, booleans play a crucial role. Booleans are variables that can have one of two values: true or false. They are particularly handy when working with conditional control structures like “if” statements or the ternary conditional operator. To declare a boolean variable in Swift, you can use the Bool type. Here’s an example: var done = false done = true In the above example, we first initialize the done variable with the value false....

Bower, a powerful browser package manager, allows you to manage your project assets, such as JavaScript, CSS, and images. In this post, we will focus on using Bower for JavaScript packages. Before we begin, let’s install Bower using the npm package manager: npm install bower -g Next, create a .bowerrc file in your project’s root directory or in your home folder to customize Bower’s behavior. For example, you can specify the directory where packages will be installed and the file that will store Bower’s data:...

In my electronics tutorials, I often use a 9V battery to power the circuits. While it’s simple and easily accessible, it’s not the most efficient option. The battery tends to drain over time, resulting in a voltage lower than the advertised 9V. To overcome this issue and enhance the performance of your circuits, I recommend using a Breadboard Power Supply Module. This module allows you to input power from various sources, including a battery, a 12V adapter, or any other compatible source....

One of the most remarkable aspects of software development as a profession is the absence of gatekeeping. Unlike many other career paths, becoming a software developer does not require a formal degree or specialized training. There is no need to pass rigorous exams or meet specific criteria before embarking on this journey. All you really need is a computer and a desire to learn. Unlike the medical field, where you can’t just start experimenting on patients to become a doctor, the beauty of software development lies in its hands-on nature....

This means knowing how to build and manage a website, create engaging content, and navigate social media platforms. While it’s possible to outsource these tasks to experts, there are several benefits to having your own platform....

In this project, we will combine two components: the 1602 LCD Display and the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor to create a functional digital thermometer. To get started, make sure to read the tutorial on the DHT11 sensor that explains how to read data from the sensor. Additionally, read the 1602 LCD tutorial that covers writing to the display. Once you are familiar with both components, you can proceed by integrating them into the same Arduino project....

Creating a game with Phaser, an easy-to-use and popular platform with physics support, is an exciting project. Whether you want to distribute your game through the web or package it as a desktop or mobile app, Phaser, which is based on HTML5 technologies, has got you covered. In this tutorial, we will cover the basics of setting up a modern project using Phaser 3 and get you started on your journey to building your own JavaScript HTML5 game....

Developers have a unique advantage in building passive income streams through software businesses. In an interview, a developer highlighted the incredible potential of subscription apps to generate passive income. Once you develop a software product that people are willing to subscribe to and it demonstrates good retention rates, you can continue to earn profits without working on it day in and day out. This concept of passive income may seem unusual in the so-called offline world where traditional businesses require constant effort and management....

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of creating a REST API using Node.js and Express. We will also utilize MongoDB as our database to store the data. Introduction Our goal is to develop a trip cost calculator app. Imagine you are going on a trip and want to keep track of your expenses, such as gasoline, hotels, food, tickets, etc. You want to have an app where you can add and archive each expense, allowing you to review your spending history....
