Number Divisibility Rules

Divisibility Rules of whether a number is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10

NumberRuleExample
2Last digit in the number is even.14, 102, 118, 560
all end in even numbers, so all are divisible by 2.
3Sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3.
The sum of the digits of 396 is 3+9+6 = 18 which is
divisible by 3, so 396 is divisible by 3.
4Number formed by the last 2 digits is divisible by 4.Last 2 digits of 1424 is 24, which is divisible by
4, so 1424 is divisible by 4.
5Last digit is 0 or 535, 90, 475
6Number is even and divisible by 3.144 is even and is divisible by 3 (sum of digits 1+4+4 = 9, divisible by 3), so 144 is divisible by 6.
8Last 3 digits divisible by 8 or Last 3 digit is 000Last 3 digits of 83400 is 400 which is divisible by 8. Last 3 digits of 1000 is 000 hence it is divisible by 8
9Sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 9.Sum of the digits of 1485 is 1+4+8+5 = 18
which is divisible by 9, so 1485 is divisible by 9
10Last digit is 090, 120, 680

Program Status Meeting

  1. Apart from running regular daily standup meetings with development/engineering team, it is important to run Program Status Meeting involving engineering, program management, product management , sponsor and other important stakeholders.
  2. It is important to use program management plan in program management tools and/or deck.
  3. Purpose of this meeting is to under how we are tracking towards our deadlines. Also align on the program progress, address roadblocks and discuss next steps. This also helps brainstorm solutions to program roadblocks.
  4. The frequency of Program Status Meetings can be weekly, every 2 or 3 weeks or 1 month depending upon program complexity and stakeholder alignment. Ideally Program Status meeting should occur in weekly or every 2 weeks frequency. Decide on frequency at program kickoff/start and maintain and hold these meetings as per frequency
  5. Program Manager should start with Status of Program. Status of Program can be Green, Yellow and Red. If Status of Program is Yellow and Red, mention corrective actions.
  • Green: On schedule, on budget, all good.
  • Yellow: Potential issues with schedule or budget, but both can probably be saved with corrective actions.
  • Red: Serious issues and the project will probably be delayed or have significant budget overrun.
  1. Start the meeting by going over Program Gantt Chart. Program Manager goes over current week program activities planned from Gantt chart and highlights the stage the program is. Program Manager should clearly state whether the program is in Design, Development, Testing , Deployment or Support phase. Program Manager should clearly highlight all dependencies for current and next week. Program Manager should also highlight major deadlines and milestones in the future weeks
  2. Program Manager or Scrum Masters of different teams share their team updates. Updates should include what team did since the last time they met, what team will do till the next time they meet and any blockers or obstacles.
  3. Provide Status Update on RAID items and Capture new RAID items – RAID stands for Risk, Assumption, Issue and Dependency. Program Manager should review and share an update on existing Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies. Program Managers should also add new Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies to RAID backlog. Program Manager can also use this time to solve issues/roadblocks and also to remove risks/obstacles that can occur in future.
  4. Program Manager should then go over next steps. Next Steps should highlight next week program activities, steps to resolve roadblocks if any.
  5. After Status meeting is done, program manager should send Program Status update email which should include :
  • Milestone Completed since last status meeting
  • Milestone Missed
  • Milestone Planned till next status meeting
  • Risk log
  • Issue log
  • Action Items

Portfolio – Project Selection and Prioritisation

Portfolio – Project Selection and Prioritisation

As Portfolio / Program Manager, you will have lot of projects in your project backlog. As an effective Portfolio/Program Manager, you should prioritise the right project and select it for further planning and execution.

You need to prioritise projects by scoring/ranking projects on different prioritisation criteria. Some of prioritisation criterias that I recommend portfolio/program managers to prioritise projects are listed below :

  1. Strategic Alignment – You need to see if your projects is aligned to your organisation/department strategic goals and score it accordingly
  2. Financial Criteria – You need to see your projects ROI , Savings and Cost vs Benefit. Based on this , you can score the projects
  3. Risk Criteria – You need to also check how much risk is involved.

You can give different weightage and score for each of the above criteria and then prioritise your projects based on final scores.

This exercise will help convert your project list to prioritised project list. You can start planning and executing projects based on projects ranking in prioritised project list

Also, it is important to revisit the prioritised project backlog on monthly or quarterly basis to make sure you are working right projects which are high value to your organisation at that point of time

Punctuation and Capital Letters

Punctuation

There are 14 punctuation marks that are commonly used in English grammar. They are the period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, semicolon, colon, dash, hyphen, parentheses, brackets, braces, apostrophe, quotation marks, and ellipsis.

We will today learn about commonly used punctuations :  period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, semicolon, colon, apostrophe and quotation marks

Sentence Endings

Three of the fourteen punctuation marks are appropriate for use as sentence endings. They are the period, question mark, and exclamation point.

  1. Period or full stop (.) is placed at the end of declarative sentences, statements thought to be complete and after many abbreviations.
  • As a sentence ender: Naman and Vihan went to the market.
  • After an abbreviation: Her son, Chauhan Jr., was born on Jun. 8, 2008.

2. Question mark (?) is used to indicate a direct question when placed at the end of a sentence.

  • When did Naman go to school?

3. Exclamation point (!) is used when a person wants to express a sudden outcry or add emphasis.

  • Within dialogue: “Holy cow!” screamed Jane.
  • To emphasize a point: My mother-in-law’s rants make me furious!

Comma, Semicolon, and Colon

The comma, semicolon, and colon are often misused because they all can indicate a pause in a series.

4.  Comma is used to show a separation of ideas or elements within the structure of a sentence. Additionally, it is used in numbers, dates, and letter writing after the salutation and closing.

  • Direct address: Thanks for all your help, Siri.
  • Separation of two complete sentences: We went to the movies, and then we went out to lunch.
  • Separating lists or elements within sentences: Naman wanted the black, green, and blue pants.

5.  Semicolon (;) is used to connect independent clauses. It shows a closer relationship between the clauses than a period would show.

  • John was hurt; he knew she only said it to upset him.

6. Colon (:) has three main uses. The first is after a word introducing a quotation, an explanation, an example, or a series.

  • He was planning to study four subjects: politics, philosophy, sociology, and economics.

Apostrophe and Quotation Marks

7.  Apostrophe (‘) is used to indicate the omission of a letter or letters from a word, the possessive case, or the plurals of lowercase letters. Examples of the apostrophe in use include:

  • Omission of letters from a word: I’ve seen that movie several times. She wasn’t the only one who knew the answer.
  • Possessive case: Sara’s dog bit the neighbor.
  • Plural for lowercase letters: Six people were told to mind their p’s and q’s.

8. Quotations marks (” “) are a pair of punctuation marks used primarily to mark the beginning and end of a passage attributed to another and repeated word for word. They are also used to indicate meanings and to indicate the unusual or dubious status of a word.

  • “Don’t go outside,” she said.

Single quotation marks (‘ ‘) are used most frequently for quotes within quotes.

  • Marie told the teacher, “I saw Marc at the playground, and he said to me ‘Bill started the fight,’ and I believed him.”page26image3539257184page26image3539392208page26image3539257952page26image3539258288page26image3539402432

Capital Letters:

A capital letters is used:

  • To begin a sentence.
  • To begin a proper noun

We always begin a sentence with a capital letter.

̄All proper nouns begin with capital letters too.
̄The letter ‘I’ when written by itself is always a capital letter.

You and are very good friends.

JAVA and OOPs Concepts

Object Oriented Programming

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of “objects”, which can contain data and code: data in the form of fields (often known as attributes or properties), and code, in the form of procedures (often known as methods)

Object-oriented programming aims to implement real-world entities like inheritance, hiding, polymorphism etc in programming. The main aim of OOP is to bind together the data and the functions that operate on them so that no other part of the code can access this data except that function.

Java Classes/Objects

Java is an object-oriented programming language.

Everything in Java is associated with classes and objects, along with its attributes and methods. For example: in real life, a car is an object. The car has attributes, such as model and color, and methods, such as drive and brake.

A Class is like an object constructor, or a “blueprint” for creating objects.

What is a Class?

A class is a blueprint or prototype that defines the variables and the methods (functions) common to all objects of a certain kind.

Create a Java Class

To create a class, use the keyword class:

Create a class named “Car” with a variable model and colour:

public class Car{
  string model;
  string colour;
}

What is an Object?

An object is a representative or specimen of a class. Software objects are often used to model real-world objects you find in everyday life.

Create a JAVA Object

In Java, an object is created from a class. We have already created the class named Car, so now we can use this to create objects.

To create an object of Car, specify the class name, followed by the object name, and use the keyword new:

Car myCar = new Car();

Examples of class and objects

ClassObjects
Fruit Apple
Banana
Mango
Car Volvo
Audi
Toyota
Examples – Class and Objects


Features of OOPs :

Abstraction 

Abstraction is the process of exposing the relevant things and hiding the irrelevant details. The easiest way to understand and appreciate this concept of handling complexity is by studying the example of Globe, a model/prototype of earth that is used by students to understand its geography. Globe provides only that information that is required and if too much of information is mentioned in it i.e. streets, lakes etc, it becomes too complex to comprehend. Hence Globe abstracts unwanted information and makes it easy to comprehend the complex earth.

JAVA Abstract Classes and Methods

Data abstraction is the process of hiding certain details and showing only essential information to the user.
Abstraction can be achieved with either abstract classes or interfaces (which you will learn more about in the next chapter).

The abstract keyword is a non-access modifier, used for classes and methods:

  • Abstract class: is a restricted class that cannot be used to create objects (to access it, it must be inherited from another class).
  • Abstract method: can only be used in an abstract class, and it does not have a body. The body is provided by the subclass (inherited from).

An abstract class can have both abstract and regular methods:

abstract class Animal {
  public abstract void animalSound();
  public void sleep() {
    System.out.println("Zzz");
  }
}
 
 

From the example above, it is not possible to create an object of the Animal class:

Animal myObj = new Animal(); // will generate an error

To access the abstract class, it must be inherited from another class. Let’s convert the Animal class we used in the Polymorphism chapter to an abstract class:

Remember from the Inheritance chapter that we use the extends keyword to inherit from a class.

Example

// Abstract class
abstract class Animal {
  // Abstract method (does not have a body)
  public abstract void animalSound();
  // Regular method
  public void sleep() {
    System.out.println("Zzz");
  }
}

// Subclass (inherit from Animal)
class Pig extends Animal {
  public void animalSound() {
    // The body of animalSound() is provided here
    System.out.println("The pig says: wee wee");
  }
}

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Pig myPig = new Pig(); // Create a Pig object
    myPig.animalSound();
    myPig.sleep();
  }
}

Encapsulation 

Encapsulation is the mechanism that binds together code and the data it manipulates, and keeps both safe from outside interference and misuse. The data is not accessible to the outside world and only those functions that are wrapped in the class can access it. These functions provide the interface between the object’s data and the program. The insulation of the data from the direct access by the program is called data hiding.
In OOP, code and data are merged into an object so that the user of an object can never peek inside the box. This is defined as encapsulation (Object is a capsule encapsulating data and behavior). All communication to it is through messages (function calls which we use to communicate to the object). Messages define the interface to the object. Everything an object can do is represented by its message interface. Therefore, we need not know anything about what is in the object when we use it.

JAVA Encapsulation

The meaning of Encapsulation, is to make sure that “sensitive” data is hidden from users. To achieve this, you must:

  • declare class variables/attributes as private
  • provide public get and set methods to access and update the value of a private variable

Get and Set

You learned from the previous chapter that private variables can only be accessed within the same class (an outside class has no access to it). However, it is possible to access them if we provide public get and set methods.

The get method returns the variable value, and the set method sets the value.

Syntax for both is that they start with either get or set, followed by the name of the variable, with the first letter in upper case:

Example

public class Person {
  private String name; // private = restricted access

  // Getter
  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }

  // Setter
  public void setName(String newName) {
    this.name = newName;
  }
}
 
 

Example explained

The get method returns the value of the variable name.

The set method takes a parameter (newName) and assigns it to the name variable. The this keyword is used to refer to the current object.

However, as the name variable is declared as private, we cannot access it from outside this class:

Example

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Person myObj = new Person();
    myObj.name = "John";  // error
    System.out.println(myObj.name); // error 
  }
}

Inheritance 

Inheritance is the process by which one class acquires the properties and functionalities of another class. This is important because it supports the concept of hierarchical classification.. Inheritance provides the idea of reusability of code and each sub class defines only those features that are unique to it.

Java Inheritance (Subclass and Superclass)

In Java, it is possible to inherit attributes and methods from one class to another. We group the “inheritance concept” into two categories:

  • subclass (child) – the class that inherits from another class
  • superclass (parent) – the class being inherited from

To inherit from a class, use the extends keyword.

In the example below, the Car class (subclass) inherits the attributes and methods from the Vehicle class (superclass):

Example

class Vehicle {
  protected String brand = "Ford";        // Vehicle attribute
  public void honk() {                    // Vehicle method
    System.out.println("Tuut, tuut!");
  }
}

class Car extends Vehicle {
  private String modelName = "Mustang";    // Car attribute
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Create a myCar object
    Car myCar = new Car();

    // Call the honk() method (from the Vehicle class) on the myCar object
    myCar.honk();

    // Display the value of the brand attribute (from the Vehicle class) and the value of the modelName from the Car class
    System.out.println(myCar.brand + " " + myCar.modelName);
  }
}
 

Did you notice the protected modifier in Vehicle?

We set the brand attribute in Vehicle to a protected access modifier. If it was set to private, the Car class would not be able to access it.

Why And When To Use “Inheritance”?

– It is useful for code reusability: reuse attributes and methods of an existing class when you create a new class.

Tip: Also take a look at the next chapter, Polymorphism, which uses inherited methods to perform different tasks.


The final Keyword

If you don’t want other classes to inherit from a class, use the final keyword:

If you try to access a final class, Java will generate an error:

final class Vehicle {
  ...
}

class Car extends Vehicle {
  ...
}

The output will be something like this:Main.java:9: error: cannot inherit from final Vehicle
class Main extends Vehicle {
                  ^
1 error)

Polymorphism 

Polymorphism is a feature that allows one interface to be used for a general class of actions. An operation may exhibit different behavior in different instances. The behavior depends on the types of data used in the operation. It plays an important role in allowing objects having different internal structures to share the same external interface. Polymorphism is extensively used in implementing inheritance.
Ex:
add(int a, int b)
add(int a, float b, int c)
add(int a, int b, float c, double d)
Here different datatypes are being added using the same interface.

Java Polymorphism

Polymorphism means “many forms”, and it occurs when we have many classes that are related to each other by inheritance.

Like we specified in the previous chapter; Inheritance lets us inherit attributes and methods from another class. Polymorphism uses those methods to perform different tasks. This allows us to perform a single action in different ways.

For example, think of a superclass called Animal that has a method called animalSound(). Subclasses of Animals could be Pigs, Cats, Dogs, Birds – And they also have their own implementation of an animal sound (the pig oinks, and the cat meows, etc.):

Example

class Animal {
  public void animalSound() {
    System.out.println("The animal makes a sound");
  }
}

class Pig extends Animal {
  public void animalSound() {
    System.out.println("The pig says: wee wee");
  }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
  public void animalSound() {
    System.out.println("The dog says: bow wow");
  }
}

Remember from the Inheritance chapter that we use the extends keyword to inherit from a class.

Now we can create Pig and Dog objects and call the animalSound() method on both of them:

Example

class Animal {
  public void animalSound() {
    System.out.println("The animal makes a sound");
  }
}

class Pig extends Animal {
  public void animalSound() {
    System.out.println("The pig says: wee wee");
  }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
  public void animalSound() {
    System.out.println("The dog says: bow wow");
  }
}

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Animal myAnimal = new Animal();  // Create a Animal object
    Animal myPig = new Pig();  // Create a Pig object
    Animal myDog = new Dog();  // Create a Dog object
    myAnimal.animalSound();
    myPig.animalSound();
    myDog.animalSound();
  }
}

Difference between Procedural and Object Oriented Programming

Procedural Oriented ProgrammingObject Oriented Programming
In procedural programming, program is divided into small parts called functions.
Example code :
#include <stdio.h>
/*this function computes the absolute value of a whole number.*/
int abs(int x)
{
if (x>=0) return x;
else return -x;
}
/*this program calls the abs() function defined above twice.*/
int main()
{
int x,
printf(” x=”);
scanf(“%d”, &x);
printf(“Absolute Value of x is %d. \n”, abs(x));
return 0;
}
In object oriented programming, program is divided into small parts called objects.
Example code :

class Parrot:
# class attribute
species = "bird"
# instance attribute
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
instantiate the Parrot class
blu = Parrot(“Blu”, 10)
woo = Parrot(“Woo”, 15)
access the class attributes
print(“Blu is a {}”.format(blu.class.species))
print(“Woo is also a {}”.format(woo.class.species))
access the instance attributes
print(“{} is {} years old”.format( blu.name, blu.age))
print(“{} is {} years old”.format( woo.name, woo.age))
Procedural programming follows top down approach.
Note: A top-down approach is essentially the breaking down of a program to gain insight into its compositional small program (or module) in a reverse engineering fashion.
Object oriented programming follows bottom up approach.
Note : A bottom-up approach is the piecing together of module (or small program) to give rise to more complex program, thus making the original modules of the emergent program.
There is no access specifier in procedural programming.Object oriented programming have access specifiers like private, public, protected etc.
Adding new data and function is not easy.Adding new data and function is easy.
Procedural programming does not have any proper way for hiding data so it is less secure.Object oriented programming provides data hiding so it is more secure.
In procedural programming, overloading is not possible.Overloading is possible in object oriented programming.
Overloading methods lets you define the same method multiple times so that you can call them with different argument lists (a method’s argument list is called its signature)
In procedural programming, function is more important than data.In object oriented programming, data is more important than function.
Procedural programming is based on unreal world.Object oriented programming is based on real world.
Data can move freely from procedure to procedure in the systemObjects can move and communicate with each other through member functions
Examples: C, FORTRAN, Pascal, Basic etc.Examples: C++, Java, Python, C# etc.
Difference between Procedural and Object Oriented Programming

Pronoun

What is a pronoun?

pronoun is a word used instead of a noun or noun phrase. Pronouns refer to either a noun that has already been mentioned or to a noun that does not need to be named .

The most common pronouns are the personal pronouns, which refer to the person or people speaking or writing (first person), the person or people being spoken to (second person), or other people or things (third person).

There are a number of other types of pronouns. The interrogative pronouns—particularly whatwhichwhowhom, and whose—introduce questions for which a noun is the answer, as in “Which do you prefer?”

Possessive pronouns refer to things or people that belong to someone. The main possessive pronouns are mineyourshishersitsours, and theirs.

The four demonstrative pronounsthisthatthese, and those—distinguish the person or thing being referred to from other people or things; they are identical to the demonstrative adjectives.

Relative pronouns introduce a subordinate clause, a part of a sentence that includes a subject and verb but does not form a sentence by itself. The main relative pronouns are thatwhichwhowhomwhat, and whose.

Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of a sentence or clause and are formed by adding -self or -selves to a personal pronoun or possessive adjective, as in myselfherselfourselves, and itself.

Indefinite pronouns, such as everybodyeithernone, and something, do not refer to a specific person or thing, and typically refer to an unidentified or unfamiliar person or thing.

The words it and there can also be used like pronouns when the rules of grammar require a subject but no noun is actually being referred to. Both are usually used at the beginning of a sentence or clause, as in “It was almost noon” and “There is some cake left.” These are sometimes referred to as expletives.

Example:

Ram is a post man. Ram carries letters.
To make the second sentence sound better we can change the word Ram to he.
Now: Ram is a postman. He carries letters.
The word he is a pronoun and that takes the place of Ram

Adjective : Describing Words

What is an Adjective?
Adjective describes a noun hence they are called describing words.They tell us many things about a noun (shape, size, colour, age, number, taste). They tells us how it looks (shape, size and colour ), smells, sounds, feels or tastes. They also tell how many ( number and age )

tasty pizza

blue triangle

The words tasty and blue are describing words and tells us more about the noun.

They can be placed before nouns or after nouns to describe them.

  • It is a cute puppy.
  • The box is heavy.

SINGULAR AND PLURAL NOUN : ONE AND MANY

SINGULAR AND PLURAL NOUN : ONE AND MANY


Words which name only ONE person, place, animal or thing are called SINGULAR nouns.
Words which name MANY persons, places, animals or things are called PLURAL nouns.
Most singular nouns are made plural by simply putting an -s at the end

There are many plural noun rules

1 To make regular nouns plural, add ‑s to the end.

cat – cats

house – houses

 2 If the singular noun ends in ‑s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, or -z, add ‑es to the end to make it plural.

truss – trusses

bus – buses

marsh – marshes

lunch – lunches

tax – taxes

blitz – blitzes

3 In some cases, singular nouns ending in -s or -z, require that you double the -s or -z prior to adding the -es for pluralization.

fez – fezzes

gas –gasses

4 If the noun ends with ‑f or ‑fe, the f is often changed to ‑ve before adding the -s to form the plural version.

wife – wives

wolf – wolves

Exceptions:

roof – roofs

belief – beliefs

chef – chefs

chief – chiefs

5 If a singular noun ends in ‑y and the letter before the -y is a consonant, change the ending to ‑ies to make the noun plural.

city – cities

puppy – puppies

6 If the singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a vowel, simply add an -s to make it plural.

ray – rays

boy – boys

7 If the singular noun ends in ‑o, add ‑es to make it plural.

potato – potatoes

tomato – tomatoes

Exceptions:

photo – photos

piano – pianos

halo – halos

8  If the singular noun ends in ‑us, the plural ending is frequently ‑i.

cactus – cacti

focus – foci

9 If the singular noun ends in ‑is, the plural ending is ‑es.

analysis – analyses

ellipsis – ellipses

10 If the singular noun ends in ‑on, the plural ending is ‑a.

phenomenon – phenomena

criterion – criteria

11 Some nouns don’t change at all when they’re pluralized.

sheep – sheep

series – series

species – species

deer –deer

Plural Noun Rules for Irregular Nouns

Irregular nouns follow no specific rules, so it’s best to memorize these or look up the proper pluralization in the dictionary.

child – children

goose – geese

man – men

woman – women

tooth – teeth

foot – feet

mouse – mice

person – people 

VERBS : ACTION WORDS

What is a verb?

 Verbs are words that describe actions, whether physical or mental.

It expresses the action done by the noun or pronoun in a sentence. Some verbs are; read,
write, eat, drink and sleep

Example Sentences with explanation

Birds fly in the sky.

The word fly tells us what the birds do.

Duggu sleeps till 8 in the morning

The word sleeps says what Duggu does.


The words fly and sleeps are Action or Doing Words. Action Words are called Verbs. Action Words say what persons, animals or things do.

USE OF A and AN VOWELS and CONSONANTS

ARTICLES


A and AN is used when we speak of one person, place, animal or thing.


AN is used before naming words that begin with the vowel sounds a, e, i, o
or u.

Example: an apple, an egg, an orange, an elephant


A is used before naming words that begin with the consonant sounds b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z
Example: a cat, a dog, a goat, a hat

Use of a and an in sentence:


This is an egg.

This is a goat

This is an igloo

This is an orange

Noun

What is a noun?

A noun is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea. In a sentence, nouns can play the role of subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, object complement, appositive, or adjective.

Examples of Nouns

Person :

Abdul Kalam
Abdul Kalam Mahatma-Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

Mother
Sushant Singh Rajput

Place

Place

Animal

Animal

Thing

Thing

Proper nouns vs. common nouns

One important distinction to be made is whether a noun is a proper noun or a common noun. A proper noun is a specific name of a person, place, or thing, and is always capitalized.Does Tina have much homework to do this evening?

Tina is the name of a specific person.I would like to visit Old Faithful.

Old Faithful is the specific name of a geological phenomenon.

The opposite of a proper noun is a common noun, sometimes known as a generic noun. A common noun is the generic name of an item in a class or group and is not capitalized unless appearing at the beginning of a sentence or in a title.The girl crossed the river.

Girl is a common noun; we do not learn the identity of the girl by reading this sentence, though we know the action she takes. River is also a common noun in this sentence.

GLOSSARY OF CRICKET TERMS – OLMYPIAD GENERAL KNOWLEDGE PREPARATION – CLASS 1 to 5

Arm Ball A ball bowled by a slow bowler which has no spin on it and so does not turn as expected but which stays on a straight line (“goes on with the arm”)

Asking rate – The runs required per over for a team to win – mostly relevant in a one-dayer

Ball Red for first-class and most club cricket, white for one-day matches (and, experimentally, women once used blue balls and men orange ones). It weighs 5.5 ounces ( 5 ounces for women’s cricket and 4.75 ounces for junior cricket)

Ball Tampering The illegal action of changing the condition of the ball by artificial means, usually scuffing the surface, picking or lifting the seam of the ball, or applying substances other than sweat or saliva

Bat-Pad A fielding position close to the batsman designed to catch balls which pop up off the bat, often via the batsman’s pads

Batter Another word for batsman, first used as long ago as 1773. Also something you fry fish in

Beamer A ball that does not bounce (usually accidently) and passes the batsman at or about head height. If aimed straight at the batsman by a fast bowler, this is a very dangerous delivery (and generally frowned on)

Bend your back – The term used to signify the extra effort put in by a fast bowler to obtain some assistance from a flat pitch

Belter A pitch which offers little help to bowlers and so heavily favours batsmen

Blob A score of 0 (see duck)

Bodyline (also known as leg theory) A tactic most infamously used by England in 1932-33, although one which had been around for some time before that, in which the bowler aimed at the batsman rather than the wicket with the aim of making him give a catch while attempting to defend himself. The fielding side were packed on the leg side to take catches which resulted. This is now illegal. Click here for more.

Bumper See Bouncer.

Bunny Also known as Rabbit. A member of the side who cannot bat and is selected as a specialist bowler or wicketkeeper, and who almost always bats at No. 11. It can also be used to describe a player who often gets out to one bowler – “Atherton was McGrath’s bunny”

Bunsen A term used by commentators to describe a pitch heavily favouring slow bowlers. From Cockney rhyming slang (Bunsen Burner = turner).

Carry your bat an opening batsman who remains not out at the end of a completed innings (ie when all his team-mates are out)

Charge, giving the When a batsman leaves his crease to attack the ball, usually against a slow bowler. By doing this he can convert a good-length ball into a half-volley

Chest-on Used to describe a bowler who delivers the ball with his chest facing the batsman, as opposed to being side on

Chinaman A ball bowled by a left-arm slow bowler that turns into the right-hand batsman, in effect a left-arm legspinner. Named after Puss Achong

Full toss A ball that reaches the batsmen without bouncing. Above waist height it becomes a beamer

Gardening – The act of the batsman repairing indentations in the pitch, made by the ball or studs, with his bat. More likely to happen when a ball has just whistled past his nose or scooted by his ankle

Good length – The ideal length that the bowler aims for, getting the batsman in two minds as whether to play forwards or back

Googly – The legspinner’s variation that turns into the right-hander and away from the left-hander

Grubber – A ball that hardly bounces – see also shooter

Half volley – A ball that is the perfect length for driving, fuller than a good length but not a full-toss

Handled the ball – If the batsmen deliberately touches the ball with his hands he can be given out. Michael Vaughan fell victim to this in India on 2002-03 tour in Bangalore

Hawk-Eye – A tracking technology which helps to explain the intricacies of the sport, Hawk-Eye can be helpful in judging LBWs. At the moment it is used mainly for arm-chair umpiring, although one day it may be used in an official capacity

Heavy ball – When a delivery is quicker than it looks and hits the bat harder or higher than is expected

Hit the ball twice – If a batsmen deliberately strikes the ball twice to gain runs he can be given out. However, the batsman can knock the ball away from his stumps with the bat

Hit the deck – The bowler’s ability to deliver the ball from height and extract extra bounce from the pitch

Hoick – Same as slog, but most used for on-side shots

In-ducker – An inswinging delivery that moves into the batsman very late. Wasim Akram produced deadly versions with the older ball

Inside out, turning the batsman – A batsman aims to leg but the ball goes past the off and he is forced to play the ball open-chested

Inside-out shot – A stroke where the batsman moves towards the leg side and hits a ball around leg stump into the off side

Jaffa – A delivery that is too good for the batsman, and leaves him groping hopelessly at thin air or (as the bowler will hope) dismisses him

King pair – Hardly worth turning up if you get one of these … out first ball for zero in both innings

Kolpak An EU ruling which has led to English county cricket being flooded with players ineligible for England but not classified as overseas players. Click here for a more detailed explanation.

Leading edge – When the batsman mis-hits the ball and edges it forward in the opposite direction to which he was attempting to play

Leg-Before Wicket (LBW) – One of the game’s more complex rules, but at its simplest … you cannot be out if the ball pitched outside the line of leg stump; you cannot be out if the ball hits you outside the line of off stump unless you are offering no stroke. Aside from that, if it hits you in line, the only decision the umpire has to make is whether the ball is going on to hit the stumps.

Leg-bye – When the ball deflects off the pad and the batsmen run. A shot must be offered to the ball. Leg-byes do not count against the bowler

Leg-break/spin – When the ball pitches and turns from leg to off for a right-hander

Leg-cutter – A ball which cuts and moves away from the batsman towards the offside (if he is a righthander)

Lifter – A ball that rises unexpectedly

Line – The line of attack the bowler employs when he is bowling

Lollipop – A really easy ball to hit – a ‘gift’

Long hop – a ball which pitches short, sits up and ‘begs’ to be hit

Loop – The flight of the ball

Maiden – An over where no runs that are attributable to the bowler are scored (byes or leg-byes may be scored in this over, though, as these don’t count against the bowler)

Manhattan A bar graph of runs scored per over which resembles the Manhattan skyscrapers skyline

Mankad – A term popular mainly in indoor cricket – but also fairly popular in Australia for outdoor cricket. Mankad is when the bowler brings his arm round and, instead of releasing the ball, runs out the non-striker by whipping off the bails. This type of dismissal is rare – and usually a warning is given to the batsman beforehand. Named after Vinoo Mankad, who twice dismissed the Australian Bill Brown this way

MCC – The Marylebone Cricket Club, the spiritual home of cricket at Lord’s in St Johns Wood in London. For the greater period of cricket’s formal history, the MCC which was founded in 1787, was the autocratic arbiter in cricket matters. No law could be changed without its approval. And while the administration of the game world-wide has moved to the International Cricket Council, and to the England and Wales Cricket Board in Britain, the MCC is still regarded as the ultimate defender of the laws of the game, a type of Privy Council of cricket. For many years, English touring teams were known officially as the MCC but as the ‘great’ has ebbed away from Britain and its colonies, so the influence of the MCC has diminished. Also the initials of the Melbourne Cricket Club in Victoria.

Middle – To hit the ball from the meat of the bat, “to middle it” is to connect really well. Middle is also the centre of the field, where the bulk of the action takes place

Military Medium – A slightly derogative term for a bowler who has no real pace

Minefield – A difficult batting track. The pitch is in such a state of disrepair that it is almost impossible to play “proper” shots as the ball is popping up everywhere

Nelson – The English superstition that 111 and its multiples are unlucky. The sticks resemble 111, and is loosely connected with Lord Nelson’s physical attributes. Double Nelson is 222

Nervous nineties – The psychological pressure on the batsman knowing he is approaching a century

Net Run Rate – A system for separating sides who finish on level points in multi-team tournaments. Click here for more details.

New ball – Can usually be taken every 80 overs. The advantage is to quick bowlers who have a shiny and bouncy ball, but conversely it can result in an increase in scoring rate as the ball comes off the bat faster

Nick – A faint edge off the bat

Nightwatchman A non-batsman promoted up the order towards the end of a day’s play with the idea of shielding a recognised batsman in the final overs

No-ball – An illegitimate delivery, usually when the bowler has overstepped on the front crease

Nurdle – The batsman nudging the ball around and into gaps

Obstruction – When the batsman wilfully blocks or distracts a fielder to prevent a catch being made or a run-out being effected

Occupy the crease – When a batsman stays at the wicket but scores slowly, often with the intention of playing out for a draw

Off-break/spin – A ball turning into the right hander- from off to leg (from left to right)

Off-cutter – An offbreak delivered at speed

Off the mark When the batsman scores his first run

Off-side The side of the pitch which is to batsman’s right (if right-handed), or left (if left-handed)

On-side The same as the leg-side.

On the up – Making contact with the ball before it reaches the top of the bounce – hitting it on the rise. Viv Richards was a prominent exponent.

Out – There are ten possible ways of being out: bowled, caught, hit wicket, lbw, stumped, timed out, handled the ballobstructionhit the ball twice, and run out. To be out “retired out” is gaining in currency and popularity and counts as a dismissal, unlike “retired hurt”

Outside edge – When the ball hits the edge of the bat which is furthest away from his body.

Outswing – When the ball swings away from the batsman and towards the slips.

Paddle – A sweep shot.

Pair – When a batsman gets a duck in both innings.

Pinch-hitters – Lower-order batsmen promoted in the line-up to try and hit up a few quick runs. Used mostly when a team is chasing a huge total in a one-dayer – the thinking being that a few quick runs will reduce the asking rate; and if the pinch-hitter gets out, the specialist batsmen are still around

Pitch – The bounce of the ball – “it pitches on a good length”. Also, the cut strip in the centre of the field of play.

Play on – When a batsman hits the ball but it goes on to hit the stumps and he is bowled.

Plumb – When the batsman is clearly LBW, even at full speed, he is said to be plumb in front.

Powerplay This was introduced by the ICC in 2005 to try to spruce up the middle overs of one-day internationals by enforcing the bowling side to take three blocks of overs in which they have to have extra fielders within the 30-yard circle. The first Powerplay is mandatory through the first ten overs of the innings, the second and third ones, of five overs each, can be taken at any other time. In rain-reduced matches the duration of the second and third Powerplays is reduced in proportion to the overall reduction.

Pudding – A slow, stodgy pitch which will be difficult to score quickly on.

Pull – a back-foot leg-side shot, distinct from the hook because the pull is played to a ball that hasn’t risen as high.

Rabbit See Bunny

Return Crease Parallel white lines pointing down the pitch, either side of the stumps. A bowler’s back foot must land inside this area or else a no-ball will be called.

Retire To postpone or end one’s innings, either voluntarily through boredom when you’re simply too good for the opposition, or involuntarily and in agony, when a nasty fast bowler has taken his pound of flesh

Reverse Sweep The epitome of the type of shot you will not find in the MCC coaching manual. This stroke is played by dropping to one knee and reversing one’s hands, so that you can swing the ball from leg to off, rather than the more natural off to leg. It is a handy stroke for beating conventional fields in a one-day game, but it has its drawbacks as well – just ask Mike Gatting

Reverse Swing When the ball is 50 overs old and the pitch is as flat as a pancake, this phenomenon is often a bowling side’s saving grace. First mastered by the Pakistani quicks of the 1980s and 1990s, it involves sideways movement of the ball through the air that is contrary to your average everyday laws of physics. If it sounds like rocket science, that is because it is

Rip Big turn for a spin bowler, especially a legspinner, who can use the whole action of the wrist to impart maximum revolutions on the ball. Shane Warne, consequently, bowls a lot of “rippers”

Ring Field A standard fielding arrangement, with men positioned in a circle all around the bat saving the single

Rock Colloquial term for cricket ball

Roll To flatten the playing surface with a heavy rolling device. At the end of an innings, the side about to start their innings will be offered the choice of a heavy or light roller

Roller A heavy rolling device designed to flatten the surface of the pitch

Rope Used to mark the perimeter of the field. If the ball crosses or hits the rope, a boundary will be signalled

Rough The area of a pitch that is scuffed up and loosened by the action of a bowler running through in his follow-through. Usually, this will be situated a foot or so outside leg stump, and consequently it becomes a tasty target for spin bowlers, who can exploit the extra turn to make life a misery for the batsmen

Run-chase Generally the fourth innings of a first-class or Test match, and the latter stages of a one-day game, when the match situation has been reduced to a set figure for victory, in a set time or maximum number of overs

Run-rate Of particular importance in a one-day game, this is the average number of runs scored per over, and is used as a guide to a team’s progress (see Duckworth Lewis)

Run-up The preparatory strides taken by a bowler as they steady themselves for delivery. Also the area in which they perform said action

Runner A player who is called upon by a batsman who might otherwise need to retire hurt. He is required to wear the same padding and stands at square leg or the non-striker’s end to perform the duty of running between the wickets. Often the cause of endless confusion and inevitable run-outs

Sandshoe crusher Colloquial term for Yorker, a full-pitched delivery that is aimed at the batsman’s toes and usually hits them aswell

Seam The ridge of stitching that holds the two halves of a ball together, and causes deviation off the pitch when the ball lands. Seam bowlers, as opposed to swing bowlers, rely on movement off the pitch, rather than through the air

Shoulder arms The description of when a batsman decides that rather than risk being dismissed from a ball he lifts the bat high above his shoulder to attempt to keep his bat and hands out of harm’s way.

Shirtfront A flat, lifeless, soul-destroying wicket that is beloved of batsmen the world over, and loathed by bowlers of all varieties. For a prime example, see the Antigua Recreation Ground

Shooter See grubber

Side on

Sitter The easiest, most innocuous and undroppable catch that a fielder can ever receive. To drop one of these is to invite a whole world of pain from the crowd and constant embarrassment from the giant replay screen (see dolly).

Sledging Not the act of travelling downhill at speed on a toboggan, but the act of verbally abusing or unsettling a batsman, in an attempt to make him lose concentration and give his wicket away. Often offensive, occasionally amusing, always a topic of conversation

Slog – Used to describe a shot which is not in the coaching book

Slogger – Exponent of the slog

Slog-sweep – A heave to the leg side, played like the sweep, but a lofted shot

Slower ball Like naff plastic wristbands, these are the must-have accessory of the modern international bowler. The idea is to deliver a pace of significantly reduced pace, while at the same time turning your arm over at the same speed so as to deceive the batsman. This change of pace can be achieved by a change of grip, or a late tweak of the wrist. The best exponents – Courtney Walsh, Chris Cairns – are lethal. The worst – no names mentioned – tend to be smacked clean over cow corner for six

Standing back/standing up Where a wicketkeeper positions himself for a particular bowler. He stands back for fast bowlers, and stands up for spinners

Stock ball A bowler’s regular delivery, minimum risk, little chance of runs or wickets. To get away with a slower ball, they need a stock ball to lull the batsman into a false sense of security

Stonewall To protect one’s wicket at all costs, putting defence above all other virtues. See Jacques Kallis. Also a gay pride organisation

Strike rate The number of runs a batsman scores per 100 balls; the number of deliveries a bowler needs to take his wickets

Sundries Australian word for extras

Supersub A short-lived experminent in 2005 by the ICC to try to spruce up one-day internationals. It allowed teams to replace on player during a game, but the reality was it heavily favoured the side batting first and was quickly dropped.

Swing A ball that curves through the air, as opposed to off the seam. See also, reverse swing

Tailender Players who come in towards the end of an innings, generally Nos. 8, 9, 10 and 11, who are not noted for their batting prowess (although ideally they can bowl a bit by way of compensation)

Teapot (or double-teapot) A gesticulation beloved of fast bowlers, particularly the grumpier sort, such as Glenn McGrath and Angus Fraser. Involves having both hands on hips at the same time, usually in reaction to a dropped catch, edged boundary or general misfield

Throwing To deliver the ball with a arm that flexes at the elbow at point of delivery, thereby enabling extra spin to be imparted for a slow bowler, or extra pace for a quick bowler. A topic of endless debate

Ton A century (100 runs by a single batsman in one innings)

Tonk To give the ball a good wallop, onomatopoeically named after the sound a good hit makes. See also twat, biff, thwack, belt, spank and leather

Track The pitch

Trundler Slow, laborious type of bowler who thinks he’s quick, once was quick, or is simply old, fat and unfit and needs to be put out to pasture. See military medium

Twelfth man A substitute fielder (and drinks waiter) for the chosen eleven. If called upon to play, he is permitted to field wherever he is needed, but can neither bat nor bowl

Two-paced A wicket that is beginning to break up, usually after three or four days of a Test match, and so produces some deliveries that leap off a length, and others that sneak through at shin-height

Uncovered pitches Pitches that were left open to the elements for the duration of a match, and so developed a variety of characteristics. The failings of a generation of English batsmen were attributed to the decision, in the 1970s, to bring on the covers at the slightest hint of rain

V – in the The arc between mid-off and mid-on in which batsmen who play straight (in accordance with the MCC Coaching Manual) tend to score the majority of their runs. Modern aggressive players, such as Virender Sehwag, tend to prefer the V between point and third man

Wagon-wheel A circular graph or line-drawing depicting the region in which a batsman has scored his runs

Walk (To) The improbable act of a batsman giving himself out, without waiting for an umpire’s decision. Adam Gilchrist, famously, did this against Sri Lanka in the semi-final of the 2003 World Cup. Mike Atherton, equally famously, did not at Trent Bridge in 1998, en route to a matchwinning 98 not out against South Africa

Wicket One of those ubiquitous words that is central to the game of cricket. The word can be used to describe the 22 yards between the stumps, the stumps collectively (bails included), the act of hitting these stumps and so dismissing the batsman, and perversely, the act of not being out (Gayle and Sarwan added 257 for the second wicket). Plus any other use you care to think of

Wide A delivery that pitches too far away from the batsman and so proves impossible to score off. The umpire will single this by stretching his arms out horizontally, an extra will be added to the total and the ball will be bowled again

Wrist spin The version of spin bowling in which the revolutions on the ball are imparted via a flick of the wrist, rather than a tweak of the fingers. As a general rule, a right-arm wristspinner’s action turns the ball from leg to off (legspin) while a left-armer turns it from off to leg (see chinaman)

Wrong ‘un Australian term for a googly – a legspinner’s delivery that turns in the opposite direction, ie from off to leg

Yips A mental affliction that affects many sportsmen, particularly golfers and spin bowlers. It is a mindblock that can cause a player to forget the basics of his game, and in the most serious cases can force that player into early retirement

Yorker A full-pitched delivery that is aimed at the batsman’s toes and/or the base of the stumps. If the ball is swinging, these can be the most lethal delivery in the game, as perfected by Waqar Younis in his pomp

Zooter A spin bowling variation, first devised by Shane Warne. This is a delivery that snakes out of the hand with little or no spin imparted, and so deceives through its very ordinariness. Some question whether the delivery has ever existed, for it could be another of Warne’s mindgames to keep his opponents on their toes
