So we can't just do the top half of the shape, then do another bunch of loops as the opposite to output the second half of the shape. This is what i did, but i'm told it can be done in no more than 3 loops. I can't quite figure out how though and i'm intrigued!
This is how it should look:
*********
*******
*****
***
*
***
*****
*******
*********
void draw3c()
{
for (int i = 0; i <= 4; i++ )
{
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
cout << " ";
for (int s = 0; s < 9 - (i * 2); s++)
cout << "*";
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
cout << " ";
cout << "\n";
}
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 3 - i; j++)
cout << " ";
for (int s = 0; s < 3 + (i * 2); s++)
cout << "*";
for (int j = 0; j < 3 - i; j++)
cout << " ";
cout << "\n";

Back in the days when I was a junior dev, I used to marvel at my supervising senior dev’s ability to create code at insanely break-neck speed.
Within moments, he’d have a working piece of code with prototyped data almost ready and in a semi-working state. There were a lot of tabs pressed, his fingers never leaving the keyboard to touch the mouse for the duration of his demonstration.
Apollo GraphQL, a provider of GraphQL API technologies, has announced the addition of several new enhancements to Apollo Federation, the company’s distributed GraphQL solution. These improvements include new tools for Apollo Studio, a new VS Code plugin, and a new CLI.
WooCommerce is one of the most popular e-commerce platforms, accounting for almost a third of all online stores. However, while this platform is undoubtedly intuitive, it’s fair to say that its popularity is driven by the sheer amount of plugins that help customize the platform to better meet store owners’ needs. One of the specific […]

You’ve seen the iconic image. Perhaps some of what makes that image so iconic is that people see what they want to see in it. If you see it as a critique of CSS being silly, weird, or confusing, you can see that in the image. If you see it as CSS being powerful and flexible, you’ve got that too. That’s what Jim Neilsen is saying here, reacting to a presentation by Hidde de Vries:
This is the power of CSS. It gives you options. Use them or don’t.
Want it to overflow visibly? It can. Want it to lop off overflowing content? It can. Want it to stretch? It can. Want it to ellipse? It can. Want it to wrap or not wrap? It can. Want to scale the type to fit? It can. If you love CSS, this is probably exactly why.
Mandy Michael has a great thread on this from a few years back:
Brandon Smith wrote about all this a few years back as well. I remain chuffed that Eric Meyer asked the original creator of the image, Steve Frank of Panic, about it and Steve once stopped by to explain the real origin:
It was 2009 and I’d spent what seemed like hours trying to do something in CSS that I already knew I could do in seconds with tables. I was trying really hard to do it with CSS because that’s what you’re supposed to do, but I just wasn’t very good at it (spoiler alert: I’m still not very good at it).
I do have a slightly better grasp on the concept of overflow now, but at the time it just blew my mind that someone thought the default behavior should be to just have the text honk right out of the box, instead of just making the box bigger like my nice, sensible tables had always done.
Anyway, I just had this moment of pure frustration and, instead of solving the problem properly, I spent 5 minutes creating a snarky mug and went back to using tables. Because that’s my signature move in times of crisis.
So, the original is indeed born out of frustration, but has nonetheless inspired many love letters to CSS. It has also certainly earned its place in CSS infamy, right alongside Peter Griffin struggling with window blinds, as one of the most iconic CSS images ever.

We talked about our transition to a monorepo back in episode 305. This move has all sorts of advantages for us, like the simplicity of having a single repo to pull and be up to date with and linting/formatting code in a consistent way across the entire code base of CodePen.
This time we’ll get into more of the repercussions of the monorepo from a front-end perspective. For example, since a bit part of the point of the monorepo is sharing code across areas of the site, it made sense to yoink out things that are intentionally sharable into top-level folders. For example, we pulled out our component library that way, then had to figure out how best to consume those components across different areas (e.g. how Next.js consumes those components is different than how our Rails app does. We also pulled out things like common utilities, icons, and shared styles, each of them having their own little journey on getting to work just how we wanted them to.

| 250634 | Ahmad Afham Bin Noor Azizan | | No |I get two link is first link is about student who have submit the githublink,the second is about matric and name.and the status is not given the two of link
Now I already get second link information and I do not know how to get githublink and the status because the githublink is not everyone have the githublink.So how i can identified it and connect it like a table?

At first, there were flexboxes (the children of a display: flex container). If you wanted them to be visually separate, you had to use content justification (i.e. justify-content: space-between), margin trickery, or sometimes, both. Then along came grids (a display: grid container), and grids could have not-margin not-trickeried minimum gaps between grid cells, thanks to grid-gap. Flexboxes did not have gaps.
Now they can, thanks to the growing support of gap, the grid-gap successor that isn’t confined to grids. With gap, you can gap your grids, your flexboxes, and even your multiple columns. It’s gaptastic!
Let’s start where gap is the most robust: CSS Grid. Here’s a basic grid setup in HTML and CSS:
<section>
<div>div</div>
<div>div</div>
<div>div</div>
<div>div</div>
<div>div</div>
<div>div</div>
<div>div</div>
</section>section {
display: grid;
grid-template-rows: repeat(2,auto);
grid-template-columns: repeat(4,auto);
gap: 1em;
}
section div {
width: 2em;
}That places the grid cells at least 1em apart from each other. The separation distance can be greater than that, depending on other conditions beyond the scope of this post, but at a minimum they should be separated by 1em. (OK, let’s do one example: gap’s gaps are in addition to any margins on the grid cells, so if all the grid items have margin: 2px;, then the visual distance between grid cells would be at least 1em plus 4px.) By default, changes to the gap size causes resizing of the grid items, so that they fill their cells.
This all works because gap is actually shorthand for the properties row-gap and column-gap. The gap: 1em is interpreted as gap: 1em 1em, which is shorthand for row-gap: 1em; column-gap: 1em;. If you want different row and column gap distances, then something like gap: 0.5em 1em will do nicely.
Doing the same thing in a flexbox context gives you gaps, but not in quite the same way they happen in grids. Assume the same HTML as above, but this CSS instead:
section {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
gap: 1em;
}The flexboxes are pushed apart by at least the value of gap here, and (thanks to flex-wrap) wrap to new flex lines when they run out of space inside their flex container. Changing the gap distance could lead to a change in the wrapping of the flex items, but unlike in Grid, changing gaps between flex items won’t change the sizes of the flex items. Gap changes can cause the flex wrapping to happen at different places, meaning the number of flex items per row will change, but the widths will stay the same (unless you’ve set them to grow or shrink via flex, that is).
In the case of multicolumn content, there is bit of a restriction on gap: only column gaps are used. You can declare row gaps for multicolumn if you want, but they’ll be ignored.
section {
columns: 2;
gap: 1em;
}Support for gap, row-gap, and column-gap is surprisingly widespread. Mozilla’s had them since version 61, Chromium since version 66, and thanks to work by Igalia’s Sergio Villar, they’re coming to Safari and Mobile Safari soon (they’re already in the technology preview builds). So if your grid, flex, or multicolumn content needs a bit more space to breathe, get ready to fall into the gap!

Do you want to highlight the author’s comments in WordPress posts on your website?
Highlighting the author’s comments in your WordPress blog can help you build engagement. Users are more likely to leave a comment when they see the author is actively participating in the discussion.
In this article, we’ll show you how to easily highlight the author’s comments in WordPress to boost engagement.
Comments are a great way to build user engagement on your website. If you want to get more comments on your articles, then you can encourage that by actively participating in the discussions.
For a new WordPress blog, you can easily reply comments during comment moderation. If you run a multi-author blog, then you can encourage authors to take part in the discussion as well.
However, most WordPress themes don’t distinguish between comments and list them using the same style.
A casual reader may scroll through the comments, not realizing the additional content contributed by the author in the discussion.
Highlighting author’s comments helps you remedy that and makes the author’s comments stand out and be more noticeable.
The ultimate goal here is to encourage new users to join in the comments and ultimately subscribe to your newsletter or become a customer.
That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily highlight author comments in WordPress.
The easiest way to highlight comments by post author is by adding custom CSS to your WordPress theme. This allows you to easily add the code needed and see a live preview of how it would look on your website without saving it.
First, you need to visit Appearance » Customize in WordPress admin area. This will launch the WordPress theme customizer interface. You’ll notice a bunch of options in a column on your left and a live preview of your website.
From here, you need to click on the Additional CSS tab. This will open a text area where you’ll be adding the Custom CSS.
However, you would want to see how the custom CSS will look when applied. To do that, you need to navigate to a blog post that contains comments by a post author.
Scroll down to the comments section and then add the following custom CSS in the Custom CSS box on the left.
.bypostauthor {
background-color: #e7f8fb;
}
You’ll immediately notice the author comment change matching the Custom CSS you entered.
So how does this all work?
You see WordPress adds some default CSS classes to different areas of your website. These CSS classes are there regardless of which WordPress theme you are using.
In this sample code, we have used the .bypostauthor CSS class which is added to all comments added by a post author.
Let’s add some more CSS styles to make it even more prominent. Here is a sample code that adds a small ‘Author’ label to the comments by the post author and a border around the author’s avatar image.
.bypostauthor:before {
content:"Author";
float:right;
background-color:#FF1100;
padding:5px;
font-size:small;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
.bypostauthor .avatar {
border:1px dotted #FF1100;
}
This is how it looked on our test website.
Now, many WordPress blogs have team members responsible for answering comments. Popular websites may have post author, administrator, and moderators all answering comments to boost user engagement.
How do you highlight a comment added by a staff member that is not the actual author of the post?
There is an easy hack to achieve that. However, it requires you to add custom code to your WordPress website. If you haven’t done this before, then see our article on how to easily add custom code in WordPress.
First, you need to add the following code to the code snippets plugin or your theme’s functions.php file.
if ( ! class_exists( 'WPB_Comment_Author_Role_Label' ) ) :
class WPB_Comment_Author_Role_Label {
public function __construct() {
add_filter( 'get_comment_author', array( $this, 'wpb_get_comment_author_role' ), 10, 3 );
add_filter( 'get_comment_author_link', array( $this, 'wpb_comment_author_role' ) );
}
// Get comment author role
function wpb_get_comment_author_role($author, $comment_id, $comment) {
$authoremail = get_comment_author_email( $comment);
// Check if user is registered
if (email_exists($authoremail)) {
$commet_user_role = get_user_by( 'email', $authoremail );
$comment_user_role = $commet_user_role->roles[0];
// HTML output to add next to comment author name
$this->comment_user_role = ' <span class="comment-author-label comment-author-label-'.$comment_user_role.'">' . ucfirst($comment_user_role) . '</span>';
} else {
$this->comment_user_role = '';
}
return $author;
}
// Display comment author
function wpb_comment_author_role($author) {
return $author .= $this->comment_user_role;
}
}
new WPB_Comment_Author_Role_Label;
endif;
This code simply adds the user role label next to the comment author’s name. This is how it would look without any custom styling.
Let’s make it a little prettier by adding some custom CSS. Go to Appearance » Customize page and switch to the Additional CSS tab.
After that, you can use the following CSS to style the user role label in the comments.
.comment-author-label {
padding: 5px;
font-size: 14px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.comment-author-label-editor {
background-color:#efefef;
}
.comment-author-label-author {
background-color:#faeeee;
}
.comment-author-label-contributor {
background-color:#f0faee;
}
.comment-author-label-subscriber {
background-color:#eef5fa;
}
.comment-author-label-administrator {
background-color:#fde9ff;
}
This is how it looked on our test site. Feel free to modify the code to match your theme’s colors and style.

When you are searching for a graphic designer, you will find that there are plenty of choices out there. However, you need to know what makes a graphic designer a good one. How do you spot a professional graphic designer? What are some traits they would show?
Before gathering up a pool of candidates for your project, you should consider what kind of graphic designer you want. Freelance graphic designers and in-house designers can both have the same amount of education and experience, but there are also places where they differ greatly. An in-house graphic designer is a great choice for brands who need a designer’s full attention. The downside to hiring an in-house designer is that you need to pay them even when you don’t need their skills. They also have a set capacity and are often specialized.
Freelance graphic designers are usually far more flexible with what they can do. You can hire them whenever you need them, but they will be less familiar with your brand and marketing than an in-house designer. Unlike an in-house graphic designer, a freelancer may not always have the flexibility to expedite your projects.
Setting your expectations too high could make the hiring process much more stressful. So, first things first, understand what a graphic designer does for your company. Graphic designers are not web designers or developers in most cases. While they excel at crafting the feel of a brand with imagery, they will not code. Furthermore, graphic designers are not meant to shape your brand. They need your guidance. You may be lucky and find a graphic designer who is also a creative director or web developer, but you should assume that most will need input from you.
Because of this, you need to have a firm idea of what kind of graphic designer you are looking for before you even begin interviewing. You won’t hire a logo designer if you need a brand book. Understand your brand identity—the color scheme, fonts, images, targeted demographics, etc. When you start searching, you will know which graphic designer is worth hiring based on their resume or CV and how well it matches your needs.
So you have several graphic designers lined up. How do you choose the best of the bunch? You interview them. Ask questions about their experiences and their education. Some graphic designers might have excessive experience without ever receiving formal education, while others could have freshly graduated from university but a limited portfolio. Again, it depends on what you are looking for.
Candidates should have proficiency in proper tools, namely Adobe Creative Cloud or similar software. If they don’t have experience with Adobe, they should display signs that they will quickly pick up the proper skills to do the work.
Also learn about their adaptability. Ask them to give an example of a time when the scope of a project suddenly changed. A good graphic designer is one who can go with the tide. They cannot be too protective of the original idea in their head. Keep an eye out for candidates who seem resistant to changing or who struggled with the notion of adaptability.
If you decide to go with a freelance graphic designer, ask them if they can handle two projects at once. A professional will include their time management techniques within their response. You want to know your graphic designer isn’t going to fumble the ball in times of stress.
The right designer for your brand or business may not always be the one with the most education. Sometimes, you will like someone based on their interview answers and quirkiness. That is why you should consider the interview only half of the whole hiring process. The next part is evaluating the portfolio. A designer worth hiring is always going to have a portfolio of samples. The pieces that they share will give you a clear idea of their personal aesthetic, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they interpret instructions.
Evaluating a portfolio can be a bit challenging if this is your first time, so look for three things: relevant samples, design aesthetic, and experience.
Relevant samples help you find the designer that is strongest in skills befitting your project. For instance, you wouldn’t choose a logo designer for a marketing ad. Some graphic designers might be good at it all, but others specialize. Always compare oranges to oranges.
From there, take in their design aesthetic. Edgy brands are going to need edgy designers over those who prefer a toned down look. A whimsical designer won’t match a sophisticated brand, either. Another thing to look for is whether they keep up with the trends. Designs that look outdated could mean that the graphic designer is not continuing their education or in tune with design advancements.
Lastly, the samples you see will show just how much experience someone has. If you are making a logo for a coffee shop, it helps to work with a designer who has worked with the restaurant industry. They will comprehend your needs better than someone with less experience in your field.
After looking over a graphic designer’s portfolio and learning about their experiences, you will definitely have candidates. The next step to figuring out whether or not to hire them is to see what they can do for you. Give the graphic designer a small project. See how they listen to the instructions, use a specific drawing style, take criticism and feedback, and how well you communicate together. If they produce a satisfactory result without any mishaps, then you know you have someone you will enjoy hiring.
Unsure about what kind of small project to give them? The best is something that has already been designed, such as your business logo or a marketing piece. See how they revise the piece.
Finding a graphic design that suits your brand isn’t as hard as it seems at first. Keep these tips in mind! Have some questions ready to ask the candidates then evaluate their previous work. From there, you should have a good impression of one designer, especially when they match your brand aesthetic.
Buyers and sellers of the world rejoice! Online marketplaces are the new normal, rapidly replacing fading shopping malls. Multiple sellers can now offer their goods in one sleek, centrally located place, and buyers can search and find desired products from multiple vendors and purchase them with one click, tap, or swipe--from their home, or from anywhere else.
Write a program that reads a telephone number from a file phnum.txt (available in lab folder) in
the form xxx-xxxx. The first three digits represent an area code and the next 4 digits represent
the phone number. Your task is to print these numbers into another file (outFile.txt) without any
space or - between the area code and the number. Your program should define a function that
has input and output file streams as arguments.
For example,
If the phone number is 042-5610, the output should be 0425610.
