A Big Number Calculating Approach

Although this is the first post of the blog, I have nothing much to say since I'm testing the syntax highlighter. It's a slick javascript highlighter written by Alex Gorbatchev. 

This Big Number class has been written primary for the 3rd Assignment of a unit called Advanced Programming in my 3rd semester at University of Technology and Engineering, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (you can follow this URI for full documents and exercises but I'm not sure whether it will work in the future). According to the requirement of the assignment, I had to implement a linked-list and use that list to store digits of the number. And then I decided to write some operator overloading methods for the class so I can use native operators with the big number objects. List of operators supported:

  1. Input and Output (<<, >>)
  2. Assigning (==) by another integer or another object
  3. Comparison (>, <). Writing >= or <= should be easy since the compare function (cmp) produce different returning value for larger than, less than or equal to. I just didn't write them because it's not required for my assignment
  4. Calculating: adding, subtracting and multiplying (+, -, *, +=, -=, *=)
Originally, the assignment requires adding and multiplying but in the 4th semester, in other unit, the professor requires subtracting so I used the same old class and wrote the subtracting functionality. I want to finish it with dividing also but, well, at first I'm lazy and it seems to be difficult and I have no much time so that's it for now. Here is the full code. Hope it may help some body

Flutter: Fixing Firebase header not found with Notification Service Extension

If you follow the FCM tutorial Send an image in the notification payload and encountered this error message: 'FirebaseMessaging/FirebaseMessaging.h' file not found You are on the right place, I'm going to show you how to fix it. My app was working fine but one day it stopped compiling. Apparently Flutter 1.20 changed the way it uses CocoaPod so the service extension no longer has the proper library configured. After some tinkering, I came up with this pod config, it has to be added to ios/Podfile below the main Runner target. target 'FcmImage' do use_frameworks! use_modular_headers! require File.expand_path('../.symlinks/plugins/firebase_core/ios/firebase_sdk_version.rb', __FILE__) firebase_sdk_version = firebase_sdk_version! pod 'Firebase/Messaging', "~> #{firebase_sdk_version}" end FcmImage is my extension name, replace it with yours We can use a hardcoded version for Firebase/Messaging pod but doing so m...

OAuth with Google, Twitter and... Facebook!

This is sick! Just a few days ago, I ran into OAuth as I want to get my GMail feed based on Google Data API . I succeeded. With a little help of an OAuth open source ( here , available in several programming languages). Then I remember that I once heard that Twitter also uses OAuth as an authentication option so I turned into Twitter and had a good read. Finally, I found out that they are basically the same (hehe, it's obvious since OAuth 1.0 is a worldwide standard). I had an idea of writing a universal class which can handle both Google and Twitter OAuth functionalities. It's not too hard. I took most of the idea from the PHP example ( here , PHP only). I also made a small script which accepts URI to send and intercept response from Google & Twitter servers. At that moment, I was so excited with all the ideas but actually it has no real world benefit so I just left it there... Until today, in the F8 (says "fate") conference of Facebook, I was stunned fin...
