How to use Tabs in ASP.NET CORE

I want to show Components in a tabs , so first of all create few components. In this project we have three components, First View Component  public class AllViewComponent : ViewComponent     {         private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;         public AllViewComponent(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)         {             _userManager = userManager;         }         public async Task<IViewComponentResult> InvokeAsync()         {             List<StudentViewModel> allUsers = new List<StudentViewModel>();             var items = await _userManager.Users.ToListAsync();             foreach (var item in items)             {                 allUsers.Add(new StudentViewModel {Id=item.Id, EnrollmentNo = item.EnrollmentNo, FatherName = item.FatherName, Name = item.Name, Age = item.Age, Birthdate = item.Birthdate, Address = item.Address, Gender = item.Gender, Email = item.Email });             }            

Binary search applied to one-dimensional array

Binary search applied to one-dimensional array

Before reading this section find out the meaning of queue in any English dictionary. You will not search the word looking page by page. No need of page by page search because you know that the words are arranged alphabetical order. Then have you reached to the word directly? I don’t think so. You skip few pages and might have reached to a page of dictionary containing the words starting with the letter ‘k’. Then you further skip the next few pages not previous ones because you know the letter ‘q’ comes after ‘k’. Now if you reach to the page of letter ‘r’, you skip few previous pages, then finally reach to the page containing word ‘queue’.
      As we have already seen that binary search can be applied to only one-dimensional sorted (arrangement of elements in ascending or descending order) or ordered array. In order to apply binary search to one dimensional array we follow a method of exact division of array in two halves. So the name binary search. Divide the array into two halves to get the middle element. compare the key to be searched with the middle element, if both are equal, the search is successful. Otherwise repeat the application of process either to the left half or to the right half depending on the possible placement of element in the array.
          To find the middle element of the array for the first time, we can use the first index and the last index of the array. find out the middle element’s index by finding the sum of first and last index and dividing the sum by 2. Compare the key with the middle element. If both are equal search is successful in the first comparison otherwise the key may be greater than or less than the middle element. 
If key is greater than the middle element, change the first index as middle index plus 1 and keeping the last index as it is in case of first step repeat the process. 
If key is less than middle element, change the last index as middle index minus 1 keeping the first index as it is in case of first step repeat the process.
The process of finding out the middle index and comparison of key with the middle element must be stopped if the first index is greater than the last index and in that case the search is unsuccessful.
        So, when binary search is applied for one-dimensional array we consider the lower bound as first index and upper bound as last index. Usually the lower bound of an array is 1 and the upper bound of array is N, the size of the array. In case of C language the lower bound of array is 0 and the upper bound of the array is N-1, where N is the size of the array. so take two variables FIRST and LAST and initialize FIRST variable with lower bound value and LAST variable with upper bound value. Take another variable MID and initialize that variable with integer part of [(FIRST+LAST)/2].Compare the given key with MID index element of the array.

 Three possibilities arise from the comparison, MID indexed element may be:

=                   report search successful 
 <                 go for the left half of the array by changing the value of variable LAST as MID-1.Keep the                            value of variable first unchanged. Find out the MID value again and repeat the process of                              comparison.
<                  go for the right half of the array by changing the value of variable FIRST as MID+1. Keep the                       value of variable LAST unchanged. Find out the MID value again and repeat the process of                           comparison.
               The process of comparison terminates when the search is successful or the value of variable FIRST is greater than that of LAST (in that case obviously the search is unsuccessful).
              The above case of binary search is based on the assumption of array elements stored in the ascending order. If the array elements stored in descending order then, the change in the values of variables LAST and FIRST is reversed.

Polynomial representation using Linked List for Data Structure in 'C'

Polynomial representation using Linked List The linked list can be used to represent a polynomial of any degree. Simply the information field is changed according to the number of variables used in the polynomial. If a single variable is used in the polynomial the information field of the node contains two parts: one for coefficient of variable and the other for degree of variable. Let us consider an example to represent a polynomial using linked list as follows: Polynomial:      3x 3 -4x 2 +2x-9 Linked List: In the above linked list, the external pointer ‘ROOT’ point to the first node of the linked list. The first node of the linked list contains the information about the variable with the highest degree. The first node points to the next node with next lowest degree of the variable. Representation of a polynomial using the linked list is beneficial when the operations on the polynomial like addition and subtractions are performed. The resulting polynomial can also

Memory representation of Linked List Data Structures in C Language

                                 Memory representation of Linked List              In memory the linked list is stored in scattered cells (locations).The memory for each node is allocated dynamically means as and when required. So the Linked List can increase as per the user wish and the size is not fixed, it can vary.                Suppose first node of linked list is allocated with an address 1008. Its graphical representation looks like the figure shown below:       Suppose next node is allocated at an address 506, so the list becomes,   Suppose next node is allocated with an address with an address 10,s the list become, The other way to represent the linked list is as shown below:  In the above representation the data stored in the linked list is “INDIA”, the information part of each node contains one character. The external pointer root points to first node’s address 1005. The link part of the node containing information I contains 1007, the address of
