What is OOP? In Layman terms...

What is OOP? OOP stands for Object Oriented Programming. It is not just a programming language, but a paradigm (An example or model used to explain a concept or theory). OOP does not tell you how to program, rather it tells you how to go about designing your software. There are many languages that implement/help you in implementing OOP. C++ is one of them. When you are developing Object-oriented programs/software the emphasis is more on how you think about and design the software rather that on actually implementing(coding) it. Why ‘Object-Oriented’? What should you do to make sure your program is object oriented? Simple, you stop thinking in terms of Bits, Bytes, Pointers, unions, structures, et al. Instead you think in terms of objects and the interactions between them. It is actually more natural for humans to think Object-oriented than to think in terms of memory and variables, etc. Simply put, OO is nothing but defining the behavi

Shridharacharya: Solving Quadratic equations in the 9th Century.

Sridhar Acharya (c. 870, India – c. 930 India) was an Indian mathematician , Sanskrit pundit and philosopher . He was born in Bhurishresti (Bhurisristi or Bhurshut) village in South Radha (at present Hughli ) in the 10th Century AD. He was known for two treatises: Trisatika (sometimes called the Patiganitasara ) and the Patiganita . His major work Patiganitasara was named Trisatika because it was written in three hundred slokas. The book discusses counting of numbers, measures, natural number, multiplication, division, zero, squares, cubes, fraction, rule of three, interest-calculation, joint business or partnership and mensuration. He was one of the first to give a formula for solving quadratic equations .He found the formula :- (Multiply by 4a) Proof of the Sridhar Acharya Formula, let us consider, Multipling both sides by 4a, Substracting from both sides, Then adding to both sides, We know that, Using it in the equation, Taking square roots, Hence, dividing by

RSI: Relative Strength Index demystified

What is RSI? The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator developed by noted technical analyst Welles Wilder, that compares the magnitude of recent gains and losses over a specified time period to measure speed and change of price movements of a security. It is primarily used to attempt to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the trading of an asset. RSI attempts to capture the following: 1. Recent gains and losses over a period of time, 2. Measure of speed and change of price movements, and 3. Overbought or oversold conditions in trading of a stock or Index. Calculating RSI 1. Find out average gain during specified time frame. 2. Find out average loss during specified time frame. Then calculate the RS value for each closing day. RS = Average gain of up periods during the specified time frame / Average loss of down periods during the specified time frame. The relative strength index is calculated using the following formula: RSI = 100 -
