Description

This unit is an introductory course whose main aim is to broaden your understanding and perspective of oral literature through studying the oral literature of your community and that of other East African communities. I am aware that, by now, most of you are exposed to some oral literature both through formal education and also through contact with the material as is practiced and performed within your own communities. However, I am also aware that due to various influences, students are not able to fully appreciate the multidimensionality of the oral literature discipline and more so its significance in literary studies. This course is thus designed so that your understanding of the subject becomes broadened and that you are able to appreciate: (a), the place of oral literature within the wider literary studies and African literature in particular. Oral literature needs to be recognised as a unique form of literary expression, exhibiting imaginative and creative dimensions that enrich the study of African literature; (b) the place of oral literature within the rich heritage of the African Oral traditions; (c) the place of oral literature in the rediscovery of African cultural heritage eclipsed by unfavorable historical circumstances and (d) the place of oral literature within the Contemporary written African literary tradition

Java Basic Syntax: Object - Objects have states and behaviors. Example: A dog has states-color, name, breed as well as behaviors -wagging, barking, eating. An object is an instance of a class. Class - A class can be defined as a template/ blue print that describe the behaviors/states that object of its type support. Methods - A method is basically a behavior. A class can contain many methods. It is in methods where the logics are written, data is manipulated and all the actions are executed

INTRODUCTION TO C++ PROGRAMMING YEAR 1 Trending!
First Class In C++ Adapted from : http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/tut1-1.html Structure of a C++ program Probably the best way to start learning a programming language is with a program. So here is our first program: // my first program in C++ #include <iostream.h> int main () { cout << "Hello World!"; return 0; } Hello World! The left side shows the source code for our first program, which we can name, for example, hiworld.cpp. The right side shows the result of the program once compiled and executed. The way to edit and compile a program depends on the compiler you are using. Depending on whether it has a Development Interface or not and on its version. Consult section compilers and the manual or help included with your compiler if you have doubts on how to compile a C++ console program. The previous program is the first program that most programming apprentices write, and its result is the printing on screen of the "Hello World!" sentence. It is one of the simpler programs that can be written in C++, but it already includes the basic components that every C++ program has. We are going to take a look at them one by one:

SMA 103: ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY Trending!
In this chapter, the Cartesian coordinate system is introduced. The distance between points, midpoints, perpendicular/parallel lines and angles between two lines are covered. The general and point slope form of the equation of the straight line are also covered. 1.2 Lesson Learning Outcomes By the end of this lesson, you should be able to; 1.2.1 Carry out operations on the Straight Line. 1.2.1 The Straight Line In this work the geometrical problems considered are those that are presented on two dimensional plane only and it is therefore important at this point to discuss the plane. Consider any plane with a point denoted by O, which we call the point of reference or the origin. Let line X be horizontal and pass through O and line Y be vertical and pass through O. The horizontal line X is referred to as the x-axis and the vertical line Y is the y-axis. Distance measured from the y-axis is referred to as an abscissa and it is positive if measured to the right and negative if measured to the left. A vertical distance from the x-axis is called a y-ordinate and it is positive if measured above the x-axis and negative if measured below the x-axis. Any point on the plane can described by its abscissa and its ordinate as P(x, y), for any point P. The symbol (x, y) represents the coordinates of the point, where x is the abscissa and y the ordinate and it is also referred to as the Cartesian coordinates of P.
