It's been time to update PS Exam members and user since I've already posted lot of materials on ICT Trends.

I'ts been some gap posting here in PS Exam, as you know, I'm much focused on ICT Trends (another site for the same purpose). Its not because PS Exam is not working fine, there are great number of new members registering in PS Exam. But because, the domain name contained sex (www.pSEXam.com), I'm notified that many web and mail filters are blocking this website. So, finally decided, its better to move gradually to www.icttrends.com.

I have tried to answer this question, which was asked in Computer Officer Exam conducted by Public Service Commission in 2010, the way that deserves the allocated 10 marks. A general graph is selected and illustrated the difference when traversing in Depth-First Search (DFS) and Breadth-First Serarch (BFS) fashion.

Write a program using C++ to create a payroll system of any organization. Use functions for updating, displaying and deleting the record of given payroll system

Another question from same exam (Computer Officer Exam conducted by Public Service Commission in 2010) carrying 10 marks.

I've presented a complete working program that should be suitable as the answer to this question. A data file "data.dat" is used as database of the program and there are functions to input, display, update and modify records of Payroll System of any organization. It can't be said complete Payroll System but I believe the program is sufficient to demonstrate the skills required by the question asked. It must deserve that 10 marks.

Practical Lab Sheet

Practical Lab Sheet MS Word Character Formatting

I realize that there are very less materials that will help trainees to practice the skills they have learned. It would obviously be useful if you have a set of Practical Lab Sheets that would cover all the aspects of the topic in hand. Thus, I've started to prepare practical lab sheets for MS Word and the first sheet is Character Formatting.

You can find the image version of the document to attempt imitating. Required text and doc files are available to download

When all these sheets will be completed, I'm sure they can be a useful reference for training institutes and students to sharpen their skills

Function to Center Align Text in C++ Program

Just Press Ctrl + E in MS Word and the text is center aligned. It was that easy. When started to write a program in C++, at first looked for any built in function that would center my text in console.

None of the classes and there were no ready-made function to align center? Very amusing. you have to write your own function for this. Do you know how to write a function to align text center in C++ programs?

Problem using getline() after cin

Total confusing for beginning programmer. We use getline as an easy way to input string data in our string variables. Similarly cin is most convenient when you need to input any type of data. Because cin could not help you input multiple words into a single string variable, it required to use getline function.

Now, the problem is, if you input an integer value using cin and then input string using getline(), you will find your program did not let user type the string data. It completely skipped to input string!

What is the reason? What is the solution for this problem?
