 How to calculate the square of a number  close to 50.

 Tricks=  First find how much its excess or less from 50. 
              Like :  54( its 54-50=4 excess) 
                        46 (its 50-46=4 less)
                        72(its 72-50= 22 excess)
                        38(its 50-38=12 less)
                      

        In case of excess:  add these excess number to 25.........like 54,72 all are greater then 50.

                Like in case of 54 we will add 4 to 25 i.e 25+4=29
                Now square the excess number i.e 4^2=16
                    So finally square of 54^ will be= 2916



               In case of less :   subtract less number from 25........... like 46, 38 all are less then 50.
                        
                Like in case of 46 we will subtract 4 from 25 i.e 25-4=21
                Now square the less number i.e 4^2=16
                    So finally square of 46^2 will be= 2116    

                 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              Now square of number close to 100
              Its very simple, just add the excess or subtract the less number from itself then calculate the square of excess or less number and add it at last.

         Like 104, 4 excess from 100 so add 4 to 104 i.e 104+4=108.
                         and square of excess number i.e 4^2=16
            So finally square of 104^2=10816.

       Now lets calculate the square of 96.
           Its 4 less from 100 so  we will subtract 4 from it i.e 96-4=92
           Square less number i.e 4^2=16
          So finally square of 96^2=9216

Now how to find unit digit of any number

          first note these idea that 
                                         
                    1^(any no)=1
                    5^(any no)=5
                    6^(any no)=6

                    4^(odd)=4
                    4^(even)=6

                    9^(odd)=9
                    9^(even)=1

                    And even number like (2,4,6,8)^4k=6
                    And odd number like (1,3,7,9)^4k=1
                                           Here 4k means multiple of 4.

Now find out the unit digit of 324^337
                    4^(odd)=4
             So answer will be 4.
            
        find out the unit digit of 2462^72
                      2^(4*18)=6
            So answer will be 6.
            find out the unit digit of 7^73376
                       Since 76 is divisible by 4 i.e 3376 is a multiple of 4.
                       So, 7^(4k)=1
                   So answer will be 1.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Calculate last two digit.

              In case of number which have 1 at unit place, then the last two digit can be easily find out by keeping the unit place as 1 and multiply the decimal digit with unit digit of power.
          
          For example :
                               Last two digit of   3481^(7788)?
                               As i mentioned that unit digit will be 1 of any number containing 1 in its unit place.

                            Now decimal digit of number i.e 3481 is 8
                            Now unit digit of power i.e 7788 is 8
                             Now multiply these two number 8*8=64
                         So last two digit will be = 641

             -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     Now as we know that any odd number i.e 1,3,7,9 gives 1 at unit digit if power of number will be a multiple of 4 i.e 4k.

                  And after getting 1 at unit place we can easily find out the last two digit which is shown just above of it.

               Find last two digit of 13^44?
         
           Sol :  Now break power in a multiple of 4 i.e  4*11
                      Now (13^(4))^11
                               Now Calculate 13^4......
                             First calculate 13^2=169 only take last two digit of it.  i.e 69
                              Now calculate  69^2=excess number from 50 is 19 and 19^2=61
                 
                               So 13^4 gives 61 at last two digit                  

                Now 61^11=As unit digit is one so unit place will be 1 and we will multiply the decimal digit of number i.e 6 to the unit digit of power which is 1,          6*1=6
                     
                  So last two digit of 13^44=61 
   
                         
           * Find out the last two digit of 87^5?

                 To get the answer of it calculate 87^4 and then multiply it by 87 again, we will get your answer.

OOPS Concept in Java : POLYMORPHISM

 POLYMORPHISM IN JAVA :  Polymorphism means mutiple forms of Single reference. And to understand in simple way just take an example from my previous post of OOPS CONCEPT IN JAVA : INHERITANCE  , I request you guys to go through this link before proceding here. So in this post I have created a method called sum() in PARENT class which has been used by CHILD class without writing same sum() method in CHILD class. This was possible becuase of INHERITANCE concept in java.  But what if CHILD class is not satisfied with PARENT sum() and CHILD class wants to improve it like by adding some message before the calculation. To do this we have another OOPS CONCEPT IN JAVA i.e POLYMORPHISM and by applying this logic we can make same sum() method behvae differently based on Object. As I mentioned earlier POLYMORPHISM means different forms and same has been achieved here by calling same sum() method but the output is different based on Object on which it has been called. If ...

Java Program : Writing First Java Factorial Program with explanation

 NAMING CONVENTION IN JAVA : Java is an object oriented programming language , we can relate it to real life object like i mapped Java with human in my previous post JAVA OVERVIEW (SESSION 1)  and represent human properties like body parts as properties in Java and Human can dance , drive , walk , run these can be mapped as Behaviour in java.    Now To represent properties and behaviour in java , there are some standard naming conventions we should follow. Class name should always starts with Uppercase letter like class Student { //Code to be executed } Properties or any kind of variables should starts from lower case and afterwards every first letter of each next word should be in Upper case . like class Student { int studentId ; String studentName ; //Code to be executed } Methods name should also starts from lower case and afterwards every first letter of each next word should be in Upper case . like class Student { int studentId ; Str...

Java Overview : Basic Java Overview

  JAVA BASIC OVERVIEW :  Java is high-level, class-based, robust, platform independent and object oriented programming language. Here each keyword has specific meaning which we need to understand.     How java internally works and execute our logic ?    We will need to write a file with extension .java, in which we will be writing our logics to be executed and this should be inside a class because java starts from main method of any class which is public inside the file named same as class name.    Example :  public class FirstJavaProgram {      public static void main(String[] args) {      //our logics      } }   This code should be saved in a file named as  FirstJavaProgram.java Whenever we are writing a java class, it's basically a blue print of what class has and it can do, it means characteristics  and behaviour , just like a simple real l...
