Eloquent JavaScript: A Modern Introduction To Programming

JavaScript is the language of the Web, and it's at the heart of every modern website from the lowliest personal blog to the mighty Google Apps. Though it's simple for beginners to pick up and play with, JavaScript is not a toy—it's a flexible and complex language, capable of much more than the showy tricks most programmers use it for.

Eloquent JavaScript goes beyond the cut-and-paste scripts of the recipe books and teaches you to write code that's elegant and effective. You'll start with the basics of programming, and learn to use variables, control structures, functions, and data structures. Then you'll dive into the real JavaScript artistry: higher-order functions, closures, and object-oriented programming.

Along the way you'll learn to:
Master basic programming techniques and best practices.
Harness the power of functional and object-oriented programming.
Use regular expressions to quickly parse and manipulate strings.
Gracefully deal with errors and browser incompatibilities.
Handle browser events and alter the DOM structure.

Most importantly, Eloquent JavaScript will teach you to express yourself in code with precision and beauty. After all, great programming is an art, not a science—so why settle for a killer app when you can create a masterpiece?

C Program To Check Whether A Number Is Palindrome Or Not.

This program takes an integer from user and the integer is reversed. If the reversed integer is equal to the integer entered by user then that number is a palindrome. If not that number is not a palindrome.   #include <stdio.h> int main()  { int num, temp, remainder, reverse = 0; printf("Enter an integer: "); scanf("%d", &num); /*  original number is stored at temp */ temp = num; while (num > 0)  { remainder = num % 10; reverse = reverse * 10 + remainder; num /= 10;   }

C Program To Convert Natural Numbers To Roman Numerals.

Roman Number System of representing numbers devised by the ancient Romans. The numbers are formed by combinations of the symbols I, V, X, L, C, D, and M, standing, respectively, for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. Natural numbers mean no negative numbers and no fractions, i.e. the whole numbers from 1 upwards: 1, 2, 3, and so on. Here is source code of the C program to convert natural numbers to Roman Numerals. It compiles and runs on any operating system. #include <stdio.h> void predigit(char num1, char num2); void postdigit(char c, int n); char romanval[1000]; int i = 0; int main() { int j; long number; printf("Enter any natural number: "); scanf("%d", &number);
