WhatsApp with its new feature coming up soon.


The most popular instant messaging app, WhatsApp have got a new update. The update will allow the user to add up to 3 people in the video call. The current version only allows video call with single contact by restriction you to contact another user while in the video call. This update is exclusively available for Android users. This update is yet under test and the feature will be used in Beta version 2.18.39 anytime soon. After the update release, users will be able to contact members at the same time during an ongoing video call. This means there will be conference video call in total of 4 members.

The layout decided is to split the screen into 4 equals. The one who is admin of the WhatsApp account will be in top left following by other members. When you are on a video call with a single person you will be provided with Add Person icon on the top right and you can click on the button to add another person. This feature is yet to be tested, so it will be bit soon to think that ‘conference calling’ will be available during voice calls too. But for sure, video conferencing is ‘ON’.


With this feature, Whatsapp most probably will be competing with Skype as well. Recent reports states that WhatsApp might provide group voice calling just like Hike Messenger but adding group video calling will prove to be an interesting step. A month ago, WhatsApp launched its ‘WhatsApp Business’ app which provides interface for small business owner to communicate with their customers easily. According to recent reports, Mark Zukerberg said, “There are more than 1.5 billion user out of which 200 million users are Indians.” This proves how much popular this messaging app is in India. Currently,  WhatsApp is also testing WhatsApp pay and WhatsApp Stickers features.

1235. Maximum Profit in Job Scheduling

Hi everyone, Today's post is little bit intriguing to me as it took me some time to get t the solution. I have been out of practice for a bit so I was not able to do it in the DP. I didn't want to copy the code. Though i understood the code after i checked its solution in the discussions. Anyways, i tried to do it with heap and with some thinking I was able to do it and with my surprise It performed real well. I would like to jump to the solution but first I would like to explain a little bit about heaps so you can get better understanding of the code. A heap is like a special type of list where the smallest (or largest) item is always at the front. Think of it like a priority line at a theme park, where the person with the highest priority goes to the front. There are two types of heaps: Min Heap: The smallest item is at the front. It's like standing in a line where the shortest person is always at the front. Max Heap: The largest item is at the front. It's like stand...

What is a Processor?

Smartphones have been the most important part of our lives. We have seen the evolution of our  handsets. First we saw landlines which were mess of tangled wires then we saw mobile phones which is successor of landlines. They were portable devices from which you can make calls then we witnessed emergence of Smartphones which were  considered as portable computers which also allows us to make calls. What is a Processor? Underneath that touchscreen display there is a full- fledged computer that commands your apps so that they function properly. A processor executes what you want your smartphone to do or in other word you can say processor is brain of computer. there is Exynos, Snapdragon, quad-core octa-core etc. What is a core? It is an element of surprises. They are present inside processor and are responsible for reading the command and executing them. First devices came with single core processor but later on scientists invented more advanced processors such as dual core , So...

Group Anagrams – Python Solution Explained

Problem Overview The Group Anagrams problem is a common challenge in coding interviews and competitive programming. The goal is to group a list of strings such that all anagrams are placed in the same group. Anagrams are words that contain the same characters but in different orders. For example, given the input ["eat", "tea", "tan", "ate", "nat", "bat"] , the expected output is [['eat', 'tea', 'ate'], ['tan', 'nat'], ['bat']] . Approach and Solution In this blog post, we'll discuss an efficient solution using Python's built-in data structures. The provided code uses a dictionary to group the anagrams. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the approach: Code Breakdown Explanation Initialization: We use defaultdict from the collections module to create a dictionary ( hm ) where each key will map to a list of anagrams. This is useful because it automatically initializes ...
