What is a free float in a share market?

Covishield Vacchination Side Effects - Day1 to Day3 what happens

 Hi Everyone,

I am documenting this for information purpose only. This is exactly what happened to me.

Day1: Vaccine Day
I had my bf around 9 am. I took the vaccine around 11:30 am.
I was absolutely fine till 8 pm. 

9 pm - I started to suddenly yawn, along with tiredness.
Within an hour by 10 pm I had very high fever.

I took a fever tablet - paracetamol (DOLO 650mg) and went to sleep by11:30pm.
I woke up once experiencing chills and heavy shivering (as though someone was shaking my body). 

Day2: 1 day after Vaccine - Fine by 6 pm

I woke up at 8 am with body pains and a headache.
My back when I couldn't sit for more than 5 mins.
I quickly had a boiled egg and banana & went back to sleep.
I forgot to take my fever tablet.

Lunch: I had a quick lunch with 4 spoons of rice,
took another fever tablet paracetamol(DOLO 650mg),
and went back to sleep. 

By 6 pm when I woke up I was convinced &happy that I was better, I knew i was 80% ok.
I was able to driver a car, walk, sit and perform my routine tasks normally.

Day3: 2nd morning after Vaccine

I slept well that night, with no symptoms.
I am 82% fine with a little heavy head(not headache) and fatigue.
I should be fine in the next 3 days.

Smile! This is the new normal ...

Python - for loop with inflation as an example for 10 years

#for loop 11/20
#print numbers from 1 to 10
#i=0
#for i in range(1):
# print(i)

# Find inflation based for an amount assuming a percentage of 8%
noOfYears=10
print('Enter inflation percentage')
inflationPercentage=float(input())
print ('Inflation Percentage is :'+str(inflationPercentage))
print('Enter amount ')
amount=float(input())
totalAmount=float(amount)
i=0
for i in range(noOfYears):
totalAmount=totalAmount+(float(totalAmount)*(inflationPercentage/100))
xTimes=int(totalAmount / amount)
#print(xTimes)
#print(totalAmount)

if xTimes==2:
print('Amount is 2x')
elif xTimes==3:
print('Amount is 3x ')
elif xTimes== 4:
print('Amount is 4x')
else:
print('Amount hasn\'t doubled yet')

print(str(totalAmount)+' after '+str(i)+' year')
print('Total inflated amount after '+str(noOfYears)+' \n for amount : '+str(amount)+' is : '+str(totalAmount))

---

Output

Enter inflation percentage

Enter inflation percentage

8

Inflation Percentage is :8.0

Enter amount

20000

Amount is 2x

43178.49994545574 after 9 year

Total inflated amount after 10

for amount : 20000.0 is : 43178.49994545574

Python WHILE CONTINUE and BREAK Example

# CONTINUE to allow user to withdraw and display balance until value 0 is used to exit(BREAK)

 balance=10000;
while True:
    print('****Continue example *****')
    print('Enter amount to withdraw :')
    val=input()
    if(int(val)<0):
        continue
    elif(int(val)==0):
        print('Exiting program')
        break
    else:
        balance=balance-int(val)
        print('balance is now :'+str(balance))

print('****End of balance****')

Python IF ELSE WHILE BREAK

Breaks out of the loop

 while True:
    print('***** BEGIN ******')
    print('Program to find if the person is a Minor, Teenager or Adult.')
    print('Enter a value :')
    age=int(input())
    
    if(age>0 and age<13):
        print('Participant is a Child')
    elif(age>13 and age <18):
        print('Participant is a Teenager')
    elif(age>18):
        print('Participant is an Adult')
    elif(age==0):
        break;

print('*** EXIT END OF PROGRAM *****')

Python Flow statements IF ELSE ELIF

 print('***** BEGIN ******')
    print('Program to find if the person is a Minor, Teenger or Adult.')
    print('Enter a value :')
    age=int(input())
    
    if(age>0 and age<13):
        print('Participant is a Child')
    elif(age>13 and age <18):
        print('Participant is a Teenager')
    elif(age>18):
        print('Participant is an Adult')
    elif(age==0):

How to clean your stainless steel water bottle or coffee maker using Vinegar or Bleach

Use half bottle vinegar with half bottle water i.e., vinegar to water 1:1 ratio. Rinse it.

Avoid using bleach. If you have used bleach. Use half teaspoon for 1liter water. Rinse it twice.

(2 teaspoons per gallon (3.78 liters)=> 1 teaspoon for 1.8 liters) =>~1 litre.

 

Notes:

White vinegar has 5 percent acidity; while cleaning vinegar, on the other hand, has 6 percent. 
20 percent stronger than white vinegar.

Cleaning vinegar can be used undiluted or mixed with water, depending on the job.
For tough stains on fabric furniture or clothes, use cleaning vinegar alone on a sponge or rag to wipe away the spot. 

 It is not recommended to use cleaning vinegar—or white vinegar, for that matter—on natural stone, waxed wood, cast iron or aluminum.

Reflect - People transform into beasts of aggression

It's a Sorry state of mind, They  don't mind becoming lonely and unapproachable. the effect of which trickles down to people around them.

SQL - Display the records created using trunc(sysdate)

Display the records that are created today

select count(*) from TASKS where trunc(created_date)=trunc(sysdate)

We need to use trunc as date is stored as date and time.

Trunc strips off the time and returns only date.
