Differences between Methods and functions in C++

Are you interested to know the differences between the Methods and Functions in C++? Well, if it is true then you have landed on the right page. But before going for the explanations of Methods and Functions, lets first discuss C++ which developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. 

An Insight to C++

C++ is a middle-level intermediate language which means it is compatible with both lower level and higher-level language.

C++ previously named as C with classes and later on get the name as C++. So as C++ derived from C only, hence C++ is the superordinate for C i.e. any program written in C is legally a C++ program too. C language which is the mother language of all programming languages is not the pure object-oriented language, it is semi an object-oriented programming language because the main function is outside from the main class. It supports object-oriented programming with all its concepts like object, class, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, 
encapsulation. 

Understanding Differences between Methods and Functions 

The instance of the class is an Object, so if I talk about what is the object and classes let’s take an example if Car is a class and variables are speed, petrol, and price then comes functions like slowdown(), gearchange() and brake() etc. and then created an object of this class as Sedan which uses its variables and functions of it by giving the values to it.

In other words, we can say that the state and behaviour of an entity are called object. It can be logical as well as physical.

A logical entity which is a collection of objects that are called class.
C++ methods are denoted as functions means methods are similar to functions just have the different name.

There is a slight difference in the method and function is that method is called by the reference variables whereas function does not have any reference variable.

There is no return type in methods but functions have its own return type. The function always returns some value back from where it has been called but the method does not return any value back.

Summary -

C++ is a semi-object-oriented language because the main function is outside of the main class. The difference between the method and function is method is an advance word of function and its use in the modern language like Java. 

The method has no return type and it is called by the reference variable but the function has the return type and does not have any reference variable. There is much more to explore for you in C++.

Top Five Things Adobe Premier Pro does better than After Effects

Adobe Premiere Pro is a video editing software to edit various types of video clips such as a music video, documentary, film, advertisements, intro videos etc. Learning Premiere Pro is really recommended for aspirants who want to enter in the field of video editing. For this signing up with prominent video editing institute like Post production Institute (an education Partner of ADMEC) is extremely advised. 

Premiere Pro is rich with various other functionalities like adding captions, titles and animating them, applying transitions and effects and even editing audios. The timeline of Premiere Pro is more suitable for editing videos and audios together than After Effects. It is much easier to trim clips and move the clips over the timeline in Premiere Pro than After Effects. These stunning features of Premiere Pro make it a unique video editing software amongst video editors and place it above after effects in many respects. 

In this blog, let's take a look at the five things Premiere Pro does better than After Effects.

Top 5 Things that Adobe Premiere Pro can do Proficiently  

1. Revision process

We can save time by merging the change requests in Premiere Pro rather than rendering out an entirely new video from After Effects. 

2. Timeline

The Timeline of Premiere is rich with many functionalities to move through and make changes to the contents of a project. On the other hand, After Effects has only a few options for working with multiple clips and composite components. The timeline interface of Premiere Pro has many options to make the task of technical editing easier. 

3. Audio and Sound Design

Premiere Pro comes with tools for audio editing and has more audio controls than After Effects. For example, the audio clip mixer within Premiere is a special feature which offers precise control over audio output projects including the ability to use VST3 industry standard plugins. In comparison to Premiere Pro, After Effects lacks the finesse as far as audio features are concerned. Another feature of Premiere Pro is that it has a direct link into Adobe's sound program, Audition. 

4. Multi-cam

The multi-camera feature of Adobe Premiere Pro is something that makes it stand out when compared to After effects as AE does not have such a feature. The multi-camera feature in Premiere makes the fly angle changes and editing possible. Premiere also has the unique ability to sync a single shot through various cameras at the same time. 

5. Editing

Premiere Pro also has an interface and toolset built for the purpose of accurate editing and clip rearrangement and design, both audio and video. Of course, After Effects to has this editing option but it is not that user-friendly and comprehensive. This affects the editing environment largely. Therefore, Premiere seems to offer a complete toolset for editing work while After Effects editing tool is not so conducive and efficient as it focuses more on composites and motion video work.

Conclusion:

So, we have reached towards the end of this blog in which we have discussed the top 5 things that Premiere Pro can do more proficiently than Adobe After Effects. These special features of Adobe Premiere Pro put it one step above after effects as it is a user-friendly and wide range of options and functionalities. I love using it because of the above-said features.

Use of Media Query in HTML & CSS

HTML is really an amazing language used in all around the world for creating beautiful and stunning websites. One who wants to build their career in web design and development should have sound knowledge of HTML so that they can go for advanced level web courses. Now, with the arrival of HTML5, responsive websites are started designing too. This has increased the popularity of HTML5 among the web designers in the industry. But how we can create a responsive website in HTML that can be accessed on different devices. Well, this is possible with Media query on which we are going to discuss in this blog. 

An Insight to Media Query in HTML & CSS

Media Query is a CSS 3 feature to change the properties of the content of the screen according to a device such as a screen resolution, viewport width etc.

Use of Media Query in HTML & CSS

• The most commonly used media feature is width and height. CSS media query is a W3C recommendation and it uses CSS rules to adopt different conditions.

• Most commonly CSS media query is used when we use mobile screen instead of a computer screen. 

• It uses @media rule in our CSS to include certain CSS properties only when a certain condition is holding true. We include media query with help of HTML and CSS to make a responsive web design which provides flexibility to the contents of the website and enhance the webpage for viewing in different devices like Desktop, smartphone, tablet etc.  

How to use Media Query?

To use a media query, we should have an idea about the resolution of different devices

• Mobile:320px

• Tablet:780px

• Desktop:1600px

We can use a media query in the head tag of our HTML code by using style tag or we use it in our external CSS. 

Syntax for HTML:

<head>

<style>

body{background-color:red;}

@media  screen (min-width:450px){background-color:orange;}

</style>

</head>

This code changes the colour of the background from red to orange when we use device resolution of the width greater than 450px.

Syntax for CSS media query:

@media <media-type> and (expression/media feature){ CSS  properties}

For ex: @media screen and (max-width:1500px){width:100%; height:auto}

Here screen refers to the screen of the device like mobile, tablet, desktop.

Using CSS of a media query, we can change font size, margin, padding, colour

width, animation etc.

Basically, we can change the style of header, navigation, and footer according to the media type of the device. We can also add and remove elements of the website according to different devices and for our convenience.

For ex: @media screen and (max-width:800px)

{

footer p{display:none;}

}  

This is how we can use media query in HTML & CSS. You can explore more about media query from online resources or by joining Web Development Institute  (an education partner of ADMEC ). which offers in-depth training on every aspect of web designing and development.

Importance of AutoCAD for a Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical engineering is a very extensive sphere of operation which has applications over in many other industries and fields of work. Mechanical engineering involves the formulation and design process of many articles that could be of interest to the respective fields. So, in this blog, I’m going to discuss some essential points or advantages which you can attain after learning AutoCAD course from any renowned training institute or any other resource.

How AutoCAD Helps a Mechanical Designer?

• AutoCAD is one such design program that helps the mechanical designers in several ways. One of the essential are as follow:

• AutoCAD achieves the desired goal of Mechanical designers by creating blueprints and first drafts of designs.

• This helps them to not only refine their design before it makes its way to production but also saves many resources in the process.

• AutoCAD helps mechanical engineers to start putting down their ideas in detail which makes the first draft of their components much more detailed than they usually would have been. After detailing their ideas, they can then get down to analysis to perfect their design to save resources and get the best possible iteration of an object that they can. 

• Not just that, but AutoCAD can also be used to correct errors made in betas of existing machine equipment so it can act as a correction software as well for the design that is input, making it extremely versatile. It eliminates the need for traditional prototyping which involves a lot of time as well as reserves.

• The first function of AutoCAD that can be stated is the reduced cost of the design process. By getting rid of the requirement of physical materials and man hours to build prototypes, AutoCAD makes it a lot easier for individual companies or startups with very little capital to also build extremely complex and sophisticated mechanical drawings without putting any investment in. 

• Also, the simulation process that can be accessed in AutoCAD can help engineers test if their component actually works the way it was intended to. Even extremely large models can be scaled down in this digital software for beta testing this way.

• Another advantage of using AutoCAD as a Mech engineer is that quality tests can be run whereby simulations of extreme strains can be applied on the machine operation to test the limit till which the machine can be run. 

• This would be virtually impossible to test in real life without investing a lot of time and assets which would eventually even result in the loss of the prototype machinery. 

• Also, all this is done in extremely fine detail, so it is an extremely viable and close indicator of what is most likely to happen physically. Hence when working on projects, engineers can be assured of their designs and if they’re applicable in the real world.

• Also, AutoCAD helps in cutting down the time taken by engineers working on projects so they can meet deadlines of projects faster than they would have in the past. 

• Designing a marketable product is very competitive where the sooner your product is ready to go on the market, the more is going to be the profit. 

• This software enables engineers to conduct very thorough testing in a very little amount of time. 

• Also, if needed to be revisited and altered, the design doesn’t take that much time to be tweaked on AutoCAD whereas, with traditional designing processes, it would take a lot more time to go back and start all over again with twice the material usage and a lot of wastage of energy.

• AutoCAD allows mechanical engineers to consult with different departments of the company for design input and to meet design requirements digitally which again saves a lot of time. They can then ensure that the design meets all the regulations that are imposed by their employers without having to physically demo their project and then if needed, go back to the drawing board. This way makes it a lot easier for everyone to collaborate with the engineers conveniently and efficiently.

Finally, AutoCAD has practically revolutionized the field of mechanical engineering by changing the way we think about the whole design process. Also, by making leaps and bounds in progress with prototyping, troubleshooting, and quality testing it has had a huge impact on saving supplies and materials but most importantly, time of both the people working and whom they are working for. AutoCAD is the most commonly used drafting tool by mechanical engineers, and for good reason as well, as is now evident.

Thus, we can consider AutoCAD as one of the most essentials application to learn for a mechanical designer. ADMEC Multimedia Institute is offering professional training of AutoCAD under the guidance of expert trainers who cover significant aspects of this drafting application. So, go ahead and join the AutoCAD Master course which covers both 2d and 3d parts of AutoCAD.

How to create symbols in adobe illustrator and What are the benefits of it?

As we all know, Adobe Illustrator is one of the leading vector graphic applications in the world. One can boost their career growth by learning Adobe Illustrator course from any superlative design institute like ADMEC Multimedia Institute so that they can comprehend all the concepts in the perfect way. Although all the tools and panels are important you need to learn the essential ideas of symbols in Adobe Illustrator. So, today I’m going to tell you all about “SYMBOLS” in depth which I’ve learned in my Illustrator course training. 

An Insight to Symbols in Illustrator

A symbol is a character or a mark which we can reuse in any document. For instance, if we create any shape or any pattern, we can use it as a symbol for future use. 

Symbols can be made by using shapes such as star, circle, rectangle, ellipse, triangle etc. Dynamic symbols can be made using drawing tools such as pen tool etc. There are two types of symbols Dynamic symbol and static symbol.

If we create a symbol it is default that the symbol will be saved in the category of dynamic symbol. Illustrator has made it a prior. we can choose if we want to save the symbol into static symbol category.

These symbols can be edited later and you can also change the colour of stroke. We can also rotate it, skew it, resize it etc. we can delete the symbol and move it to another place.

Let see how to create symbols in illustrator 

Step-1 At First go to file menu and click on new or you can just create new file by using short key ctrl+n.

Step-2 Then go to windows panel and select symbols or you can directly use the short key which is shift+ctrl+F11

Step-3 Now A symbol options pallet will be open.

Step-4 Now draw a shape in your artboard.

Step-5 Then drag it to the symbol panel or you can just select the shape and click on create new symbol.

Step-6 Then select any one option weather it is dynamic symbol or static symbol.

Step-7 Now click on OK. You will see that you symbol has been created.

Step-8 Symbol is editable and if you edit it a new symbol will be created in the symbol panel without deleting the older one.

Benefits of Symbols- 

There are a lot of benefits of symbols, which are as follows-

• We can edit the instances of these symbols by using the direct selection tool.

• If we edit a symbol then the master symbol will not change.

• It is easy to create and edit a symbol rather than copy an object from a different file to another one.

• To work with symbols is time-saving.  

• The symbol is editable as well as replaceable.

• All the symbols can be selected in one time by using a short key select + same command.

 Symbol Options-

In symbol options panel there are lot of options such export type, symbol type, enable guides for 9-slice spacing etc. 

You can give a name to your symbol and also decide its type weather it is movie clip or graphic. Movie clip and graphic are tags for flash import. There is no difference between these two symbols in illustrator.

In symbol there is an option which allows you to use guides or directions for 9-slice scaling. We enable this scaling if we want to set the registration point of the symbol.

What is 9- slice scaling?

We use it for scaling the components for movie clip and graphic style. In this 9- slice scaling symbol is divided in to 9 sections with grids. We do not scale the corners of the symbol to maintain its visual ability. We will be able to see the scaling when the isolation mode is on.

We can enable 9-slice scaling by creating a symbol as I have already tod above. Then select scaling which can be movie clip or grid. If you want to scale it then enable this option and open it in isolation mode.

 If we work with symbol instances then we can rotate, move, skew, reflect it as we do with any object we design. 

Symbol instances can be modified and here are giving the steps which as follows-

• At First you need to select the symbol instance.

• Now you have to go for symbol panel.

• Now click on the break link shows in symbol panel where you can edit the artwork.

As similar to modification you can go for enlargement of symbol instances. Here are the steps:

• First of all, select one or more than one symbol instances.

• Then go to object and select expand. A dialogue box will open. 

• Now you can expand it. You can also edit it later.

In the symbol options you have symbol instances replacement settings too. The steps are as follows

• At first select the symbol instances.

• Go to symbol panel and select the replace symbol in the symbol panel menu.

Symbol library

This is the library where we add the created symbols. It is easy to find and use any symbol by using the symbol library. Some default symbol libraries will also be there in the panel.

• Go to windows panel then select symbol libraries or symbol.

• You can any type of library from the symbol panel according to your design.

Adobe Illustrator allows you to create a symbol library. For instance, you are making a design related to Diwali then you can name that library ‘Diwali’ and create a lot of symbols such as- crackers, lights etc. so like this you can use it later for another project.

There are some settings to import symbol library from another document in Adobe Illustrator. Steps are as follows-

• At first, go to windows then select symbol library and then select open library.

• Now, select the file from where you want to import the symbol library. 

• Then click ok to use that library.

Conclusion- 

we saw that how symbols work in illustrator, how can we create the symbols, symbols library, how to edit the symbols, symbol options, we learned about 9- slice spacing, scaling with movie clip and graphics, dynamic and static symbol, benefits of symbols etc. it is easy to work with symbols rather than objects. As we have seen that symbols can be edited any time like we can rotate, skew, reflect, change their colors ay time without damaging or losing the master symbol. We saw that we can also create the symbol libraries which is an easy way to use it for the designs without wasting your time.

10 Quick Tips & Tricks for Learning Illustrator at Advanced Level

Learning something new becomes easy when you know how to proceed in the correct flow and with some effective tips & tricks

In the graphic design industry, Adobe Illustrator is a very effective tool for vector-based designing that gives you unlimited options to create your masterpieces. So here are some quick tips that may help you if you are to begin learning Adobe Illustrator course.

1. Remember & Use Shortcuts: It saves a lot of time.

Designers are always running short of time. Hence it really helps ls save a lot of time if you remember shortcuts of regularly used commands like transform, clipping mask, group - ungroup, locking the object and similar tools & actions. You would not have to explicitly search & select through all menu items to perform a command. If you can successfully recall the shortcuts, your workflow becomes really fast and smooth 

2. It’s just thinking 

Believe me or not some of the really good designs and effects are just a modification of regular shapes or a mix & merge of two shapes & with some effects. For eg, if you use the twirl tool or warp tool with rectangle or eclipse you can easily form an uncommon shape, which can give a highlight to your complete design. In such scenarios, “Pathfinder Tools” can also be used. You can simply experiment by combining, dividing or compounding any random shapes together and see the difference. This is also important in order to have proper smooth shapes instead of an uneven one (especially) for those who face problems using the pen tool smoothly and making a smooth swirl). Similarly, the mixing of effects like distort, lens flare can be fruitful in creating some wonderful backgrounds.

3. Symbols are of great help 

Adobe Illustrator has a nice collection of symbols (in various categories) included in their symbols library, which contain a large variety of already designed ready to use vectors like shapes, flow charts, flowers, swirls and various other elements that can be directly used in your design to grace it and the best part is you can edit them according to your requirement as well like change the colour, modify the shapes. So open your symbol library, place some complimenting elements, do a bit of placement and here you go.

4. Befriend the Pen Tool

As an artist, you definitely love to scribble down your emotions on paper or doodle them. However, when it comes to converting them into digital forms, nothing but the Pen Tool is only gonna help you out in the situation. Though it might take you a little longer to get hold over it but do not fear. Just notice the little details of how the flow f Pen tool goes, where to put an anchor/node, where to use arched corners or convert your handle to get square corners. Stay calm, practice, trace, observe carefully and fly. I’m sure you would not love any other tool more than the Pen tool.

5. An impactful design can result only with quality Brainstorming, Strong Research & visualization

Before you are about to start the layout for your design, please do brainstorm the topic (at least roughly), create a mind map of what the topic is all about, the colors, the elements etc. Do a thorough research about it and gather relevant and good references, scribble the ideas you get into your mind and then visualize how the outcome would be before you actually start to design it on the software.

6. Clipping mask to the rescue 

Illustrator being a vector-based software somehow makes an obvious choice for the designer to use the Clipping mask method for multiple uses. Using the clipping mask would save your time and you can easily specify the different groups of shapes and patterns according to the area. This is the reason why I recommend to comprehend this option to all Illustrator learners.

7. Learning the Tools is Ok.. But to where & when to use them is the key.

I agree you know the endless list of tools & effects available in the software but it’s only worth it if you know how, when and where to use those tools effectively. Say for you are creating a landscape scenery, which includes various building tree and all. You simply take the pen tool and start your vector but wait and think about what shape does your design have? Are these shapes readily available in your shapes panel? If yes, avoid tracing create the windows etc. with pre-existing regular shapes. or say you are required to create an infographic so you can directly use the graphs or polar grid tools. Instead of merging different shapes as it becomes difficult for them to handle later on.

8. Grids, Guides & Rulers.

By using some awesome Illustrator tools like grids, ruler and guides you can easily develop Logos, Symmetrical designs, Perspective views and Repetitive Patterns etc. Using these enable you to show accuracy is your design and leads to a standardization. These options let you divide your shapes into equal division and are also used to create elements with 3D effects.  Moreover, it also lets you design with correct proportions.

9. Color Schemes. Always refer the existing combinations is the swatch panel.

As they say, colors are one of the most important aspects of your design, thus using the right colors scheme & combinations is not only important to make a good design but it also lets you convey your message effectively. Keeping this in mind and in order to help the designer, like the symbol library, Adobe also privileges you with a carefully compiled Swatch library that contains color combinations according to the technology used color schemes. It has categories such as Pastels, Metals, Pantone, which give you the best color combinations suitable according to your color scheme. //Using these also makes it easy to fill colors in your objects/element thus which otherwise is a very nerve-wracking task if you really want to deliver a good design.

10. Practice .. Practice and more practice..

Last but not the least .. difficult but true.. Practice is the key. The more the better.  Practicing what has been taught in the lecture, going through tutorials available online, trying to make them as well as creating something new while using your own creativity is the only way to succeed and become a master. Practicing helps us build a command over the software as well as the concepts of designing. It is also important t as it gives you an understanding of which tool to be used in what circumstances, as per the requirement of the design. It is also important to establish a base level foundation so that you can later start thinking out of the box concepts.
