This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Let's parse the function "parseInt", which appears in both Java and JavaScript.
>
> parseInt(12.5);
12
>
In the above little example, 12.5 is not an Int, but is a float. On the other hand, the return value 12 is an Int.
So, a more accurate name for the function would be "parseToInt."

If you are going to learn software development, learn the English language as well, for good measure.
Otherwise you're probably gonna wanna cry down the road, sooner or later.

When I want to take a look at what is contained in each of the files in a given directory, I just type "more *" on the Linux command line.
And presto, they appear all in front of my eyes.
