Tons of Online Games - a New Twist

The excitement and the enjoyment offered by game parlors is very different to the level of enjoyment offered by online flash game. We cannot compare the excitement delivered by playing at game parlors with online games. Ask them those who have played in game arcades and you will see they cannot deny entertainment they have have just had. On the other hand flash games vividly bringing alive the superficial impression but beyond that lies the several benefits we can derive from this entertainment form.

Educational games are highly underestimated, most of the people who head towards entertainment sites almost always end up having several choices where they must pick the right category in order to get the form of entertainment they are looking for. It is also true that most of the people choose board games because they are common and they know how to play them; the least visited applications in an entertainment site reside within the educational category.

It is true that when people hear the word "educational" they don't often link it to any activity which might give them a certain degree of enjoyment but to young kids, they are as fun and as productive as they could possibly be. At their young and immature age, children have a mental capacity unlike any other, since their brains is developing and actively adding more layers it can absorb almost anything thrown at it, that is why teaching a second, third or even fourth language to a child at that age is very easy. Learning how to use the computer is a no brainer as well, this is where gaming sites come in handy.

Recently, a popular video has been going around the web which shows a young girl in her early years (2-3 years old) and she can not only recognize all the estates within the USA but she can locate them on a map! At such early age their parents taught her not only geographical facts related to this country but they also taught her the names and locations of the rest the countries around the globe. The most amazing thing is that she can locate each county without missing one. In a second video their parents explained that since they both were teachers they tested a new teaching method on her young daughter which included the use of the web and gaming sites to teach their daughter facts which are well beyond her years. If you have young kids this might be the best teaching method where they can have fun and acquire knowledge which will be of use to them later on their lives. How's that for a gaming site new twist?

Sap - Performance Tuning Using Parallel Cursor

Nested Loops – This is one of the fear factors for all the ABAP developers as this consumes lot of program execution time. If the number of entries in the internal tables is huge, then the situation would be too worse. The solution for this is to use parallel cursor method whenever there is a need for Nested Loop.

Program using Normal Nested Loop:

REPORT ZNORMAL_NESTEDLOOP.

TABLES:
likp,
lips.

Data:
t_likp type table of likp,
t_lips type TABLE OF lips.

data:
W_RUNTIME1 TYPE I,
W_RUNTIME2 TYPE I.

START-OF-SELECTION.
select *
from likp
into table t_likp.

select *
from lips
into table t_lips.

get RUN TIME FIELD w_runtime1.

loop at t_likp into likp.
loop at t_lips into lips where vbeln eq likp-vbeln.
endloop.
endloop.

get RUN TIME FIELD w_runtime2.

w_runtime2 = w_runtime2 - w_runtime1.

write w_runtime2.

Nested Loop using Parallel Cursor:

REPORT zparallel_cursor2.

TABLES:
likp,
lips.

DATA:
t_likp TYPE TABLE OF likp,
t_lips TYPE TABLE OF lips.

DATA:
w_runtime1 TYPE i,
w_runtime2 TYPE i,
w_index LIKE sy-index.

START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT *
FROM likp
INTO TABLE t_likp.

SELECT *
FROM lips
INTO TABLE t_lips.

GET RUN TIME FIELD w_runtime1.
SORT t_likp BY vbeln.
SORT t_lips BY vbeln.

LOOP AT t_likp INTO likp.

LOOP AT t_lips INTO lips FROM w_index.
IF likp-vbeln NE lips-vbeln.
w_index = sy-tabix.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.

GET RUN TIME FIELD w_runtime2.

w_runtime2 = w_runtime2 - w_runtime1.

WRITE w_runtime2.
