Changing nature

 Blog on changing nature: The Changing Nature of Our World: How to Understand Evolution in the Natural Environment Nature is dynamic; it is ever-changing due to each influence imposed on it. From changes in climate to human activities and technological development, the nature once familiar is slowly changing. This article pinpoints a few of those changes that are redesigning our surroundings and what it portends for the future of our planet. Climate Change: Earth's Climate into a New Era 1. Temperature Increase Amongst the changes seen in these years, the most obvious has been the rise in global temperatures. The average global temperature has increased a great deal, leading to increased heatwaves, changed weather patterns, and melting polar ice caps. 2. Melting Ice and Rise in Sea Levels The melting of glaciers and polar ice contributes to the rise in sea levels, threatening the entire coastal communities and ecosystems. This has brought flooding, erosion, and habitat losses to co...

  Creating Real-World Spaces in Code:: Introduction Programming often involves solving the real world through code. When one begins to code, calculators or game examples are common, but what if we could really model the actual spaces about us? In this blog, we will discuss a virtual Room using a class in C++ that let us think of programming in terms of structuring real-world entities. What Is a Class in C++? Think of a class as a blueprint of an object. Just like how an architect designs blueprints for a building, we can make a blueprint of a room in code. The class blueprint contains details regarding the characteristics of a room such as: • Length and Width: The size of the room, with which we can calculate its area. •   Area: This would be optional if we had to calculate the volume of the room. Why Model a Room in Code? Assume you are creating an application to track rooms in a house. You might use it for: • Interior Design Planning: Calculate how much f...
