How to Open files in Mac directly from terminal?

Well, Guys Today we will be learning on how to open files in Mac directly from terminal?

First of all,

Open terminal.

Use cmd + space to open spotlight and type terminal and hit enter.

Now, that you have opened it , you will see something like this

Now, type open.

In this tutorial i will try to open name.cpp from desktop

In my MBP, it launches Xcode to open the file name.cpp. Xcode is the default application to open .cpp files.

However, if you want to open it in a different application like I have a text editor named atom and i want to open it in atom so i will hit a command like this

So, in short the command to open application is like this,

open -a "application-name" filename

and then hit enter.

Don't forget to like and comment. And post any doubts or corrections.

Video of How to's like this are in progress. In a month you will be able to watch these helpful How to's. Thank you. Don't forget to share ;).

Quadratic Equations: Made Easier for JEE

Quadratic Equation lesson 2 In the previous lesson we learned on how to solve an equation. We found three methods to solve the equation. If not visit http://scipsycho.blogspot.in/2016/08/quadratic-equations.html Now, we will go into details about quadratic equation, the importance of parameter a, b and c and other things that are important for JEE aspirants. Let's begin. As we saw earlier, a quadratic equation can be represented by ax 2 + bx +c =0. Let's start with 'a'. 1.) Coefficient of x 2 Case 1. : when a < 0 let's inspect the graphical form of the equation. If x -> ∞, only the x 2 term will decide the outcome of the expression as it's magnitude will overwhelm the other factors. Now, as x -> ∞ the value of expression will tend to infinity if a>0. However, a is less than zero therefore, the expression will tend to -∞. when x -> - ∞, x 2 -> ∞, and thus even then the expres...

Quadratic Equations

A Quadratic Equation is an polynomial equation with highest degree 2. For e.g.: 5x 2 + 2=0 2x 2 + x + 1=0 General form of the equation is: ax 2 + bx + cx = 0 where a is not equal to 0 Normal form of Quadratic equation can also be represented by two parameters. (say m and n) x 2 + mx + n = 0 Normally , We are asked to find the roots of the equation. The roots of the equation can be found using three methods. Let us take the example x 2 -6x + 8=0 and solve this equation using these methods separately. Let's Start: 1.) The Grouping Method or that's what i call it In this method we try to split the middle term or 'b' such that it is equal to the product of the rest of the terms or 'ac'. Now, let us apply this method on the above equation. x 2 -6x + 8=0 As, it is easily visible, the term -6 has to be split in a such a way that it's product equals to 8. x 2 -6x + 8=0...

Thinking Out of The Box

Time Machine Paradox - .. -- . / - .-. .- ...- . .-.. / .. ... / .--. --- ... ... .. -... .-.. . .-.-.- Last Night , I was thinking that if it was really possible to make a time machine or not. I also read a lot about time conspiracy theories that do exists (the so called "Urban Legends"). Almost all of them were completely fraudulent but still there was just one argument that flipped over entire conspiracy theories i.e. Where is the time machine ?... Now, I was forced into thinking that if it was really possible ( the philosophical way). And in the end I came to a very seemingly great conclusion i.e. We can make a time machine in just 60 seconds or so but we will need a few things listed below. 1. ) A thing where we can write the correct time ( i.e. 60 seconds from now ) and the geographical coordinates of the place so that the data written would be easily be accessible even after 100 years or so. 2.) We need a man who never gives up. So...
