arrays and strings in c

can someone explain to me this code and what the output should look like?, is there going to be two strings? and what does dest[I]=to src[] mean, is string bar going to have the string abcd or efghijk.

#include <stdio.h>

void copy_str(char *dest, const char *src);



int main(void)
{
  char foo[7];
  char bar[7] = {'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K'};
  copy_str(bar, "ABCD");
  copy_str(foo, bar);
  return 0;
}


void copy_str(char *dest, const char *src)
{
  int i;
  for (i = 0; src[i] != '\0'; i++)
    dest[i] = src[i];

  // point one 
  dest[i] = '\0';
  return;
}

Benchmark Your Apps Against the AWS Well-Architected Framework

AWS introduced best practices to review and improve traditional or proposed architectures through its widely renowned AWS Well-Architected Framework. The framework introduces five pillars where each pillar is composed of separate practices for a better application and workload architecture to solve challenges many customers were having. Those challenges involve a lack of internal knowledge, rightsizing cloud environments, reducing costly overheads, a lack of automation, and executing AWS best practices. The Well-Architected framework is gaining popularity among clients seeking infrastructure performance that only keeps getting better over time. The supporting Well-Architected Review was created to improve the customer experience and help sharpen up AWS environments.

The best way to proactively utilize this framework is for building secured, efficient, and reliable application infrastructure. Additionally, consultants help companies through the AWS Partner Network (APN) to facilitate this framework by evaluating current architectures to make design changes through a Well-Architected Review.

Machine Learning and React Native: Feasible for Web Development?

Unless you have been living under a rock, there is no way you have not heard of at least artificial intelligence. Of course, this is because of the potent tool it has proven to be over the past decade. This popularity, then, led to the emergence of machine learning as well as deep learning. Now, they are both technically subsets of artificial intelligence, but the plethora of their advantages have ensured they were each able to establish their distinct identities in the market. Now, machine learning serves to help systems use input data to improve themselves. 

Meanwhile, deep learning, which involves the use of algorithms based on the human brain’s structure and function, is enabling the achievement of unparalleled results in computer vision, ML, etc.

5 Things to Consider Before You Build Your App

When mobile app development came on the market, it was a game-changer. It allowed for an unprecedented level of mobile optimization that has never been seen before. With mobile apps now being one of the most popular ways to not just run your business but also promote and advertise it, many people are considering getting into mobile app development themselves. However, there are several things to think about before developing an app to ensure that you want to pursue it in the long run.

When you're making mobile apps, you must have a clear idea about what mobile platform it will be on. Will it be a native app, a hybrid app, or even a progressive web app (PWA)? Then there's the dilemma of whether to use an existing mobile development provider or not. In this blog post, we'll cover these important factors that you should think about before commencing mobile development and building your app!

Why Don’t Developers Write More Tests?

I regularly speak at conferences about testing microservices, and one of the first questions I ask attendees is whether they write tests or not. The room is usually split 50-50 between developers who write tests for their code and those who do not. This disparity gets more pronounced when I give guest lectures at coding bootcamps where I’ve found that fewer than 1 in 10 grads actually know how to write a unit test.

My anecdotal observations have been backed up by surveys as well. Diffblue found 42% of developers skip writing tests and Stack Overflow found 37% of developers don’t write tests for their code at work.

The Ultimate JSON Library: JSON.simple vs. GSON vs. Jackson vs. JSONP

JSON is the accepted standard these days for transmitting data between servers and web applications. We often don’t think about the JSON libraries we use, but there are some differences between them.

JSON is often used to transport and parse big files. This is a scenario that is common in data processing applications running in Hadoop or Spark clusters. Given the size of these files, you can be looking at significant differences in parsing speed between libraries.

Getting Started With Kubernetes In 2 Days

Kubernetes (commonly abbreviated as K8s) is an open-source platform for container orchestration that we use extensively at Shipyard. It automates many of the tasks involved in maintaining a container-based app, such as deploying, scaling, load-balancing, and auto-scaling.

Kubernetes Done Wrong

Kubernetes is a major asset for modern container management and has streamlined deployment for thousands of companies. However, it is infamous for its steep learning curve. Simply put, Kubernetes is difficult to get right.

Fork() system call prime numbers

Write a C or C++ program that outputs prime numbers. This program should work as follows:

The user will run the program and will enter a number on the command line.

The program will then create another process using fork() that outputs all the prime numbers less than or equal to the number entered by the user.

How to Organize or Reorder WordPress Pages with Drag & Drop

Do you want to organize your WordPress pages by simply dragging and dropping them where you want?

WordPress will arrange your blog posts and pages based on the published date or alphabetical order by default. However, with the right WordPress plugin, you can reorder your pages to organize them more logically.

In this article, we will show you how to reorder and organize WordPress pages with drag and drop.

Organize Pages with Drag and Drop in WordPress

Why Change the Order of WordPress Pages?

By default, WordPress will organize your pages alphabetically or use the publish date to show the recent page first.

If you have a lot of pages, it can be difficult to manage them and find the pages you need in your WordPress dashboard.

Luckily, you can use a simple plugin to rearrange the pages by simply dragging and dropping them where you want.

Let’s take a look at how you can organize your WordPress pages by using drag and drop.

Note: This guide will show you how to reorder your pages in your WordPress dashboard, so you can then use this order in custom WP_Query. If you’d like to reorder pages the easy way, then we recommend using our guide on creating navigation menus in WordPress.

Organize Your WordPress Pages Using a Plugin

First, you’ll need to install and activate the Simple Page Ordering plugin. If you need help, then please refer to our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once activated, there are no additional settings to use the plugin. Simply go to Pages » All Pages from your WordPress admin panel and start ordering your pages by dragging and dropping them.

Change page order in WordPress

You can now rearrange your WordPress pages and place them in any order you want.

How to Organize WordPress Pages Manually

Another way you can reorganize your WordPress pages is by changing the order in the page attributes section.

To start, simply edit any page. Once you’re in the WordPress block editor, navigate to the ‘Page Attributes’ box located in the menu on your right.

After that, you can enter the ‘Order’ value for your page. The lower the number, the higher it will appear in the list.

Change page attributes settings

The problem with this method is that you’ll have to manually change the order value on all other pages that you want to rearrange on your website.

This can be time-consuming and doesn’t offer the drag and drop option to organize your pages. That’s why using the Simple Page Ordering plugin is a better option.

If you’d like to reorder your blog posts as well, then see our guide on easy ways to re-order your blog posts.

We hope this article helped you learn about the Simple Page Ordering plugin and how to organize WordPress pages with drag and drop. You may also want to look at our guide on how to create a free business email address, or see our expert comparison of the best domain registrars.

Fluent Assertions Reloaded

If you’re not using fluent assertions in your tests yet and just rely on basic JUnit assertions, you might be missing out on a simple but very effective tool to write high-quality test code. The article starts with a short recap about the virtues of fluent assertions and how they address the shortcomings of basic assertions.

But while very much in favor of fluent assertion I think that current implementations don’t realize their full power: Problems are demonstrated in AssertJ, the main fluent assertion library for Java. Finally, I present a new solution to overcome these issues.

Containers are Here to Stay

Containers are not a fad. They’re never overkill for any project and they simplify many aspects of development, even when running locally. With a wide selection of relevant tools and resources, there has never been a better time than now to implement containers in your organization and get ahead of the curve.

What Are Containers?

Containers are portable, self-sufficient, standardized units that store all code, assets, and dependencies of a program. They can be shared and run on virtually any hardware. Containerization has been around for years, although it has recently been gaining more traction with the advent of Docker. Many organizations are recognizing the value of managing their code in a simplified, shareable, and maintainable way. What does this mean for you and your organization?

Goal Setting: Get a Clear Fix on Where You Want to Go

Everyone likes to achieve success at work, but very few take the time to define what "success" means to them. Does it involve an increase in salary or acquiring a new skill? Is it receiving rewards and recognition for your work or getting an opportunity to work on the big bet? Do you feel successful when mentoring others or when you are able to solve a tough problem on your own?

To be successful, you need to define it first — something that drives all your actions. Something that gives you guidelines and boundaries to keep you on track. Something that helps you plan your progress. Something that gives you direction when you feel lost. And what is that something? A top-level goal. A consciously adopted goal is not only important, it's the only way to act with intention instead of reacting to whatever life throws your way.

What Managed Kubernetes Service is Best for SREs?

Kubernetes in general is a boon for SREs. By making it easy to manage microservices-based apps at scale, Kubernetes helps SRE teams achieve reliability goals for complex, cloud-native environments.

But if you know anything about Kubernetes, you know that there are a number of different Kubernetes distributions and services available, each with different strengths and weaknesses.

How to Run Playwright Tests Sequentially in Same Browser Context

The Playwright is a new automation framework by Microsoft. The Playwright framework is distributed under MIT Open Source License. Playwright supports various programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, .Net, etc. 

Playwright Executes Each Scenario in Its Own New Browser Context

If you have worked with the Playwright framework you might have observed that if you write multiple tests inside the describe function, it gets executed one after another but each test runs in a separate browser context. That means that if you have performed a login in test1() it doesn't preserve those in test2(). The reason is that each time playwright executes the test, it creates a new context and executes the test. This feature also allows you to write independent tests and you can execute them parallelly with less execution time.
