Religion dissected...

We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

A simple yet interesting problem in C#

Found this simple yet attractive problem..Just a matter of finding the right loop... The objective is to find the total length of an object that goes through alternating cycles viz.cycle A and cycle B, doubling in length at the first instance and then increasing by 1 in the latter...The problem is to find the length after N iterations... int tot = 1; for (int u = 0; u < n; u++) { if ((u % 2) == 0) //cycle A { tot = tot * 2; } else //cycle B { tot += 1; } } MessageBox.Show(tot.ToString());

The powers of ten.. In verse...

I have always been fascinated by the orders of magnitude of ten that seem to reflect a hidden symphony in Nature from the infinitesimal (quark) to the macroscopic (Stars and galaxies). Here are some of my thoughts expressed in verse. The powers of ten.., Are more surreal than Zen. Matter starts as a quark.., (Oh ! please don't be a dork), Building blocks of matter, these be... Which fit together in the symphony of a perfect 'T' !, To form atoms and more... Lo...what's in store?, Molecules as solid, liquid and gas... Let me not forget plasma... That define physical state. 'Tis more than just fate -----. But it dosen't stop here...., When we shift to the scale of planets and stars. Cosmic marvels are these, That obey the same laws defined above. Seems to be Nature's way, Of saying "Yes, this is true Love!". Then is love the essence of it all..?, To say the least I am truly appalled..., By the splendor of Nature. And you ?????.
