Well friends, it was really tough for me to design the full form of ABHINAV based on my blog's niche indeed. After a lot of permutations & combinations, my grey cells finally ended up with

How much you know JIS ?

Recently, when I was sorting my study table, I found the JIS's Prospectus burried under the pile of Mostly-used books. Instantly, an insight grew within me to go through it for a while, & guess what, I got to know some really rare information about our JIS. So, I took up the urge to publish this post as a quiz-based survey on How much you know JIS?

Solution to X-Queen Problem in C

Recently, our honorable KG sir, in my college, threw a question to all my fellow classmates (including me) as an Assignment on to solve the X-Queen problem where X-denotes the Roll no. of the student. This urged me for an opportunity to help my classmates by providing them their unique source code in C based on the value of X.

Note, I only have 6 different algorithms (algos) currently & working on more algos. Also each single question has more than one distinct solution & my algos will only solve for one of them. Hence you can imagine that each distinct solution may have a distinct algo too i.e. i'm solving for a specific solution, whereas the programs on net give all generalized solutions.

Well, I will deliver the source code to you guys on a First Come First Serve (FCFS) basis, so hurry or KG will catch you as the Copy Cat. Provide your Name, E-mail ID & Roll No./Value of X in the Comment box below & i will send you the code directly to your Inbox. But hurry before my algos end.
