Great day at CHPC

Yesterday was a great day at CHPC. Yesterday's class was to be taken by
Bejoy Sir. But, when we reached here at nine in the morning, we were told
that he couldn't take class due to some reason and so we were to have
Mahesh Sir's class on C Programming.

We had studied C Programming in our third semester. So, first of all, we
were asked to empty our cups and start learning C Programming from the
beginning. We started from the basic programs and compiled it. Then, we
were told about the various types of errors. Errors were classified into
Syntax errors and Semantic errors. Syntax errors are caused due to
violation of the programming language syntax or the grammar of the
programming language. Semantic errors are those caused due to wrong logical statements.

Then, we were told that the speed of a high performance computer is measured in FLOPS. Now that was a new term for us. FLOPS stands for FLoating point Operations Per Second. We were also told about GCC (GNU Compiler Collections).

The afternoon session was taken by Unni Sir. He told us about mind maps and made one about career after B.Tech. That was really interesting, wondering why he kept on asking in between whether the class was boring. It was far from boring.

The last session of the day was taken by Parvathy Ma'am on Digital Electronics. Though we had learnt it before, it was only when she explained it to us that we understood how certain results were obtained. It was nice knowing how many of the things we learnt blindly were actually obtained.
