“Well I think this will work”

{The program is executed [ALT]+[F9] and when prompted 825 is entered}

(0 1 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)

“YES!! Now we need a for loop to do the same for all numbers from 2 till the number entered”

{For loop added and again [ALT]+[F9], 5 is entered}

(Division Error)

“What! How can we have a division error, lets check”

{For loop is made a comment, and again [ALT]+[F9] then 825 is entered}

(0 1 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2636)

“What the hell is this?? From where did that number come from?? lets recheck”

{Execued again and 825 is entered}

(0 1 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -16)

“That is impossible!! I think we should check where the program is going wrong”

{A cout< < command is added in the first loop, execued again and 825 is entered}
(0 1 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)

“Finally! We again have the right output”

{Comment from for loop is removed, execued again and 5 is entered}

(Division Error)

“Oh no! not again, lets put more cout< < statements"

{cout< < is added in the nested loops, executed again, 5 is entered}
(3 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)

“How can a cout< < statement solve a division error??"

Those who have sympathy with us please post your comment.

Those who want to try the questions can get it here.

We have tried our best to copy the question paper exactly (including spaces, font etc.) in case some error creeps in, we apologise.

This is not just another proposed logo. In fact I think its good not(only) because I made it, but because ….. it is appealing and exun-type. Check it out.

Now ofcourse the logo will not be in black and white. I want you to suggest the color of the logo.

Note: If you like it, comment on it. If you dont, suggest changes, I can also give you the .psd file. And if you think that you can do a better job – DO IT.

The test took place smoothly without any serious system problems. But to be honest, we expected them to do much better. The paper was simple but they made it look difficult, even though the time limit was extended to 2 hrs from 90 mins. Only three people had some clue about the paper. The rest..?? Infact one or two walked out of the test saying that they could figure out nothing. Fine now lets come to the result:

1. Nikhil Agarwal (XI-H) : He came first. Had extremely clear logic and solved two questions. Also knows web designing and flash animation. He has been selected.
2. Swati (XI-I) : She also has been selected. She managed to figure out the logic of crypting question and almost made the program.
3. Niharika Mittal (XI-L) : She almost managed to figure the logic behind Aurojit Panda’s question.

Well you can also attempt the paper. You can download it here. Do post your comment on the difficulty level of the paper. In case you manage to crack any of it, send it to us by e-mail at souvikdg@gmail.com Please do not post the solution as a comment due to two important reasons. Firstly, because the comment becomes too long and secondly, because some people have been given this paper to try at home.

_{Schedule for programming test of class VIII-IX has not been finalised. It shall} ^{be posted on logexun whenever it is ready.}

A programming test in C++/Basic will be conducted on Wednesday, 28^th July for Class XI and Classes VIII-IX.

• Prateek Rungta (XII-H)
• Nisheeth Sharma (XII-H)
• Souvik Das Gupta (XII-I)

The details of candidates may also be posted as a comment to this message.

Can we have an online chatroom exclusively for exun members? It will be great if we could manage that. Exun members online can interact and share ideas with eachother even during holidays. Also online meetings can be conducted. MSN etc. cannot serve this purpose as every one then needs to know eachother’s id, include them,allow them….etc.etc.etc. No complications at all, just login and if there are members online start chatting immediately. We can have username and password to control entry into the chatroom. Do comment on this idea, folks.

Exun has only been taking print outs in school. Don’t you people think that we can organize competitions in school. The quizzing club and the debating society have already organized many and I think its time for the computer club to do something. Ofcourse we have the d² coming up, but it is not exactly an inter section competition. We have good quizzers, web designers, programmers etc. and can easily make quality questions. So why not hold an intersection event?

Hello all you friends out there. Our more-efficient president has finally invited me to join the blog. It feels really good to be out here. I would like to share an idea in my very first post. Why dont we try to increase the number of members in Exun? After all there is no shortage of talent in our school. We can ask the all the teachers of computer department to give the names of good and talented students to us. We can then hold tests and judge them. The best of the lot can be a member of Exun. Howzzat!!
