How To Create And Write A Text File In Java

We will see how to create and write a text file in java so basically you get the idea after reading the title whatever when you run this program it creates a txt file and write some text inside so lets start making it , i am doing this in text editor so it's good id you also use a text editor ok now create a class and add the namespace io import java.io.*; and now write down the public static void main(String args[]) by the way don't forget to add the tags ({) now write down FileOutputStream Create; after that write this PrintStream Write; alright i will just put here the whole codes to make it easier for you

import java.io.*;
public class Create_txt 
{ 

 public static void main(String args[])
   {
    FileOutputStream Create;
    PrintStream Write;
    try
   {
    Create = new FileOutputStream("Text.txt");

    Write = new PrintStream( Create );

    Write.println ("Ultimate programming tutorials");

    Write.close();
    } 
    catch (Exception e)
    {
   System.err.println ("Cannot write txt file");
   }
  }
}

now when you run a new txt file will be created named "Text.txt" and Ultimate programming tutorials will be there inside the txt file if something stopped the process you will see "Cannot write txt file" in the console , i hope this is useful.

Matrix Effect In C/C++

First open your c++ IDE. after that create a new project and put these codes inside.

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
using namespace MatrixC;

int main()
{
   system("color 0a");
   srand(time(0));
   char random_char = ((rand() % 127));
   bool going = true, checking = true;

   while (going = true)
   {
   
      for (int x = 0; x < 38; x++)
      {
                  random_char = ((rand() % 127) + 50);
         checking = true;
         while (checking)
         {
            if  ( 
               
                  (random_char == 32) || (random_char == 39) || (random_char == 46) ||
                  (random_char == 44) || (random_char == 34) || (random_char == 45) ||
                  (random_char == 58) || (random_char == 59) || (random_char == 94) ||
                  (random_char == 95) || (random_char == 96) || (random_char == 126)
               
                )
            random_char = ((rand() % 127) + 50);
                                 else break;
         }
                 cout << random_char << " ";
      }
          cout << endl;
        
         Sleep(20);
   }
   cin.get();
   return 0;
}

The includes are the namespaces in c++ , the code system("color 0a"); is the green color text of our Matrix effect (color oa is the system name for green) ,  srand(time(0)); is the random speed , for (int x = 0; x < 38; x++) draws the rows of characters , random_char = ((rand() % 127) + 50); checking = true; while (checking) generates the first character ,

 this (random_char == 32) || (random_char == 39) || (random_char == 46) || (random_char == 44) || (random_char == 34) || (random_char == 45) || (random_char == 58) || (random_char == 59) || (random_char == 94) || (random_char == 95) || (random_char == 96) || (random_char == 126) checks for bad characters ,

this random_char = ((rand() % 127) + 50); generates random characters if bad characters generated , this else break; will continue to print if good characters generated , this cout << random_char << " "; prints character , this  cout << endl; if full characters were printed will continue to next row , this delays Sleep(20); .

You can see a preview of the matrix on top of this post.

How To Use Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) In C#

hey everyone , i got something interesting now :) ok now what is Advanced Encryption Standard(AES)

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001.Based on the Rijndael cipher developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, who submitted a proposal which was evaluated by the NIST during the AES selection process.-Wikipedia

ok now you know AES lets try it in visual c# . create a console application and name it :) now here is my codes

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.IO;

//Author : Mohamed Shimran
//Blog : http://www.ultimateprogrammingtutorials.blogspot.com

namespace AES
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            UTF8Encoding UTF8 = new UTF8Encoding();

            Console.WriteLine("Shims Encryption UPT");

            string text = "Ultimate programming tutorials";
            byte[] txt = UTF8.GetBytes(text);
            Console.WriteLine("Text: " + text);

            AesCryptoServiceProvider aes = new AesCryptoServiceProvider();
            byte[] key = aes.Key;
            byte[] iv = aes.IV;
            
            byte[] n;

            ICryptoTransform ict = aes.CreateEncryptor(key, iv);

            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();

            CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, ict, CryptoStreamMode.Write);

            StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(cs);
            sw.Write(text);
            sw.Close();

            n = ms.ToArray();

            Console.WriteLine("Encrypted : " + Convert.ToBase64String(n));

            ICryptoTransform icrt = aes.CreateDecryptor(key, iv);

            MemoryStream mms = new MemoryStream(n);

            CryptoStream cts = new CryptoStream(mms, icrt, CryptoStreamMode.Read);

            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(cts);

            Console.WriteLine("Decrypted : " + sr.ReadToEnd());

            sr.Close();

            aes.Clear();
            Array.Clear(key, 0, key.Length);
            Array.Clear(iv, 0, iv.Length);

            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}

now string text is your text that is going to be encrypted using the program so replace Ultimate programming tutorials and now debug the program and you will the text encrypted and the text decrypted . how awesome :)
