How to Connect PC or Laptop to Internet Using Android Phone

The Android operating system supports usage of Android phones as an Internet modem for Personal computer or laptops. This facility of sharing the Internet connection of Android phone with a laptop or PC through a USB cable is called USB tethering. It supports most of major operating systems.

In Linux:

In Linux you just have to enable 'packet data' in phone first, connect phone with PC or laptop through USB data cable and check the option 'USB tethering' in Settings. It is somewhere within USB settings or Wifi and network settings. The place of this option may vary from phone to phone.In my phone (Ssmsung Galaxy S Advance, GT-I9070) , it is found as follows: Settings-> Wireless and Neetwork->Tethering and Portable Hotspot-> USB tethering. Check the option 'USB Tethering'. When 'USB tethering' is enabled, your Linux OS will automatically install the 'Remote NDIS based Internet sharing' driver. and your computer will automatically connect to internet within a few minutes.

Windows XP:

How to Connect Windows 8 or 8.1 Compuer to Internet by USB Tethering Android Phone

Let me tell you first that USB tethering is the process of sharing the internet connection of your Android phone with your PC or laptop through USB connection. In Windows 7, Windows Vista and Linux, USB tethering works so easily that we just have to enable packet data, connect phone through USB and enable 'USB tethering' in Settings. Above mentioned operating systems automatically install the required drivers. And within few minutes, the system will connect to Internet through your USB connected Android phone. But it is not that much easy in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. We have to manually install the driver for the Android device to enable USB tethering. In this post, I will show you how to enable USB tethering in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

C and C++ Program to Check Whether a Given Year is Leap Year or Not

This is post contains a C program and a C++ program to check whether an input year is leap year or not. A year is a leap year if:

1. The year is divisible by 400
2. The year is divisible by 4 but not divisible by 100.

Any other year is not a leap year.

C program

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int year;
printf("Enter a year to check if it is a leap year\n");
scanf("%d", &year);
if(year%400==0 || ((year%4=0) && (year%100!=0)))
printf("%d is a leap year.\n", year); else
printf("%d is not a leap year.\n", year);
}

C++ program

#include <iostream.h>
void main()
{
int year;
cout<<"Enter a year to check if it is a leap year or not";
cin>>year;
if(year%400==0 || ((year%4=0) && (year%100!=0)))
cout<<"\n"<<year<<"is a leap year."; else
cout<<"\n"<<year<<"is NOT a leap year."; 
}

C Program to Check Whether a Given String is Palindrome or Not

Here i am writing two different programs two check whether an input string is palindrome or not. The first program checks the string manually character by chatter from both ends. The other program make use of a string function strrev() (under string.h) to reverse the string. Therefore, the second program is more compact.

Program 1:

#include<stdio.h>

#include<string.h>

void main()

{

char a[20];

int i, len;

printf("\nEnter the string:\n");

gets(a);

len = strlen(a);

for (i = 0; i < len / 2; i++)

{

if (a[i] != a[len - i - 1])

break;

}
