Capital City to Country Android Quiz App

May 4, 2014 by thupten ·

Download “Capital City to Country Quiz”

Just about a couple of weeks ago, I released a free android app called ‘Capital City to Country Quiz’. There are a bunch similar apps in the Google Play Store. The main difference at the time of this writing about my quiz app is that the quiz is set opposite. Most of the capital cities app shows country name to player and the player has to guess the capital city. In the app I created, it shows the capital name and the player has to guess the country. There are few reasons why this is more fun compare to the former.

If statement is not always followed by a condition in java

January 14, 2014 by thupten ·

This code will compile and run. Notice the assignment operator(=) in the condition.

boolean a;
boolean b = true;
if(a=b){
   //do anything;
   //this compiles
}

But this won’t compile

int a;
int b = 5;
if(a=b){   
   //notice its still = not ==
   //do anything;
   //this does not compile
}

The reason is because the previous code’s a is of

boolean

type and the latter’s is of

int

type.

if

statement is not necessarily followed by a condition.

a=b

is not a condition. Its an assignment. But it works if the left variable (i.e. a) is of a boolean type.

So its better if we think

if(boolean)

instead of

if(condition)

. Anyway, a condition like a==b or a>b etc will result a boolean result.

About 200,000 or more Torontonians are suffering blackout right now.(December 23, 2013). I am writing this in candle light with a little bit of battery left on my phone and laptop by using tethering the internet of my phone to the laptop.

If you are on the road in this freezing weather and need to find a closest shelter, check this map I created on google map. The list is as per emailed to me by the toronto city’s newsletter. I may not be able to update when the list changes in future, so please after finding the location on the map. Call them to verify.
