-

 

IKAGAI  means reason or purpose of living. IKAGAI is a Japanese word and in JAPAN everyone finds their Ikagai. There is a story about this that starts like there is a woman who is in a coma and she feels like she reached heaven. In heaven, she hears the voice of her ancestors asking her that "who are you?".She said that she is the wife of ... but again the same questions asked by them she again gave a reply that she is the mother of .. but again and again, the same question asked by her ancestors. At last, she said she is a woman who gets up early and works for her family, educates her children, and so on. After that, the voice stopped, and also she came out of a coma. This is basically a story of OKINAWA island. After that incident, she knows her Ikagai and follows it till her death. Also, the people of Japan follow the same. They find their Ikagai to live a happy and long life. According to data, people of Japan live more than in other countries and they just do not live long but they live a healthy and happy life.

They never retire or we can say they have no word i.e retire. They work till their body allows them to work.  

Ikagai means for the teen is finding a reason for being. So think about your childhood, when we were teens, we think about what we want to be in the future and what are the things we like and dislike. Now, plz refer the below diagram to find your Ikagai.








                                                                                                                                                                              So, for finding your Ikagai just focus on four things:- 
1:What do you love?

Searching and sorting- Linear Search

-
bool search(int arr[],int size,int key) { for(int i=0;i<n;i++) {       if(arr[i]==key)        {           return 1;        } } return 0; } Time complexity = O(n) space complexity=O(1) Approach: In Linear search, we have given an array, the size of the array, and the key element that we have to find in the array whether the key element is present in the array or not. If the key element is present in an array then return true otherwise return false. Step-1:-Now, make a function for searching the key element and pass the array, size of the array, and key element you want to find. Also return type of function is bool because we just want that key element to be present or not. So, basically, we want if present then True otherwise False and for this, we have to use Bool return type.       bool search(int arr[],int size,int key) {     //code } Step-2: For finding key elements in an array we have to traverse the array from start to its size i.e from 0-->size. So we have to take an int va

From today, I can say myself sophomore as our last exam of 1st year is over now. I still remember, my first day [18-07-19] at GLBITM Greater Noida when I came here with my father for taking admission and settle on the campus. That day was full of excitement and tiring too. On 05-08-2019 my first college day and day by day I have made lots of good friends 100+ (approx) which also includes some seniors. All of my friends are very motivating and supportive in my life. This year I learned many things from making ED sheets to doing workshops . I still remember when I first print “ Hello, World ”     [24-10-19]. Although it was late for me to learn C language though I enjoyed learning this. Later I started to learn basic full stack Web development and I keep practicing this to learn more. Till now I learn C++ Programming language from online videos like code with harry and w3 schools also sometimes from geekforgeeks. This is my fest which we the B.tech 1st year student attend because my coll
