How can i write a good mission statement?

June 7, 2010 - 5:54 am 1 Comment

Im trying to write a mission statement for my senior portfolio. Its due tomorrow so it doesnt have to be the best. it just have to due.

Your mission statement should summarize your goals while being inclusive of your values and beliefs. The statement should be broad; the strategies and tactics will flush out the detail. Strategies will help you accomplish you mission statement. Individual tactics will feed up through your strategies to accomplish the mission.

For example: You mission could be to find challenging and rewarding employment in manufacturing while raising a family in a Christian environment. One of the strategy to accomplish this mission may be to pursue an engineering degree as the University of ???. Another my be to keep your faith strong by belong to ?? religious association.

There is no right or wrong answer; is should just be a broad summary of what you want to accomplish.

What is the inverse of the following conditional statement? "If 2x+3=15, then x=6."?

June 4, 2010 - 3:28 am 2 Comments


To write the inverse you just negate the "if" and "then" part while keeping it in the same order.

If 2x + 3 is not equal to 15, then x is not equal to 6.

If I choose to do paperless billing with a credit account, can I then switch back to paper statements?

June 1, 2010 - 9:55 am 2 Comments

The credit cards and other companies are always asking me to choose paperless billing via email. It saves them money and they offer some trifling incentive such as a lottery. If I decide I want the paper bill then can I go back to getting a traditional snail mail paper bill again?

Hi,
Most do not allow you to go back to paper once you opt for paperless. Read the fine print or contact them before you switch.

What can be a good "theme" to tie in with this mission statement?

May 24, 2010 - 12:11 am 2 Comments

my mission statement is that i hope to have completely lived life to its extent and tried all kinds of new experiences.

for example a good theme to tie in with a statement is "going through life with my loyal ‘crew’" with pirates being the theme.

Your personal vision/mission statement is a written description of what you want to accomplish and who you want to be.

Here’s an article on how to write one: http://bit.ly/2Irqsx

How to Sum up Values of the If Then Statement outputs?

May 20, 2010 - 3:39 pm 1 Comment

Hi! I am trying to add up the sums of my if then statement outputs.

For example, I was doing a transcript calculator so that
Column 11 = A
Column 21 = if A, then 4.0
Column 12 = B+
Column 22 = if B+, then 3.3

How do I sum up the if then outputs? i.e, 4.0 + 3.3. If I do sum of column 2, the value is 0 and not 4.0+3.3.

Thanks! And I hope this isn’t too confusing!
Sorry for the confusion, I basically used this formula:

=IF(C3="p", "0.0",IF(C3="a","4.0",IF(C3="a-", "3.7",IF(C3="b+", "3.3",IF(C3="b", "3.0", IF(C3="b-", "2.7"))))))

so if the grade is A, then the value is 4.0. If the grade is A-, then the value is 3.7, etc.

Once the cell displayed that information (4.0, 3.7, etc), how do I add it up? When I just do sum of the column, it shows up with a value of 0. Thanks!

Sorry its not understandable yet will attempt to help you

use of switch statement will be nicer in such situations will make clean code.
switch(_case){
case ‘A’: dosomething() ;
case 21:;
case 12:;
case 22:;
}

hope this helps
Cheers:)

How long should a "short statement" for a college application be?

May 17, 2010 - 6:46 am 1 Comment

I’m working on an application to a college and they are asking me to provide a short statement of why I would like to transfer there. This application is online and the text space provided looks like no more than a paragraph but if I continue typing in the field it does add scroll bars to the side.

Any idea on what the length of this statement should be?

Also, if anyone has any suggestions on what I can include in it, in case I’m forgetting anything, would be helpful!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.

Type up a half of a page on Word (or whatever program).

Then copy and paste to the text space.

This way you can proofread (print it out and have people read it too) and spellcheck. It will also save you from accidently hitting the ’submit’ button when you’re not done with it.

How do I run an if statement with a char input?

May 13, 2010 - 9:48 pm 3 Comments

For example I want the user to input either A, B, or C. I then want my method to execute based on which of those letters were entered. What do I put in the if statement to get it to work? I understand the Scanner object and all that basic stuff. I just want to know what is the proper syntax to get an if statement to work with a single char if possible. Thank you.

If I’m not mistaken, you’re using Java, right? (just to make sure I didn’t talk different ‘language’) since you have the Scanner object.

After you import the Scanner object, we then define a variable to store the user input,
since you only want to ‘catch’ one character, I suggest "CHAR" is the best variablel type since it’s small

then we store the user’s response on that variable. Therefore, we can do you intend to do.
=================================================
import java.lang.* ; //for the ‘equalsIgnoreCase’ comparison
import java.util.Scanner.*;

public class void ClassName(){
char c;
Scanner input= new Scanner();
char = input.nextChar();

//you can use either ’switch…case’ or ‘if..else’
//let’s just if
if(c.equalsIgnoreCase(’A'))
{
//some codes
}
else if(c.equalsIgnoreCase(’A'))
{
//some codes
}
else
{
//some codes
}
}

==================================================
hope it helps
