Here are the most recent versions of two simple applications ADD.EXE & SUBTRA CT.EXE written in C++.

These applications can be used to practice the the oper ations of mental addition & subtraction, thus saving the valuable time on the Dday. Thus as you can practice to mentally perform these calculations, it also te lls you the average time per question taken by you , thus you can also improve y our speed . How to use: ____________________________________________ Here as U invoke any of the program, you are first asked to enter the limit. Li mit is nothing more than the level of Qs you want to practice . A limit of 2 mea ns the numbers will be under 100 , limit of 3 means numbers will be under 1000, & so on. If the answer given by you is wrong, it on the spot gives you the correct answer .Press any key for next question. Also, time lapsed in displaying the correct an swer & then in pressing the key is not considered. Remember that only that time is taken into account till the moment you hit the ENTER key, for entering your answer. Whenever U want to stop calculating & see your results , all you have to do is e nter a negative answer(any negative number, like -6) to that question asked. Pre ss any key n the results are displayed; then press any key to terminate the pro gram. ( Keep in mind that answer & time taken for the last question, to which yo u entered the negative answer , will not be taken into consideration for evaluat ing the results i.e. that question will be simply ignored.) For any more query d o mail me at my id. The result is displayed in this format: ___________________________________________ Total Qs: XXX Correct : XXX Wrong : XXX Total time taken: XX sec Time/Question : XX sec ================================================================================ =============== I have also got a same application for mental multiplication(MULTIPLY.EXE) with a color interface . All of us (specially all the IMS students) already know the shortcut method to multiply two numbers under 100. Now this program gives you c hance to practice whole method mentally , and improve your speed, as we all know that multiplicatuion is the most time consuming of all. But it is feasable only after you have mastered a good speed in mental addition, coz the trick involves addition. cheers, Ashish.
