ASP.NET AJAX, mostly called AJAX, is a set of extensions of ASP.NET. It is developed by Microsoft to implement AJAX functionalities in Web applications.

Function is an algorithm which can be used any where in the program when required

ArrayList and LinkedList both implements List interface and maintains insertion order. Both are non synchronized classes.

But there are many differences between ArrayList and LinkedList classes that are given below.

ArrayList    V/s     LinkedList ::

1) ArrayList internally uses dynamic array to store the elements.

                   Whereas

LinkedList internally uses doubly linked list to store the elements.

2) Manipulation with ArrayList is slow because it internally uses array. If any element is removed from the array, all the bits are shifted in memory.

                   Whereas

Manipulation with LinkedList is faster than ArrayList because it uses doubly linked list so no bit shifting is required in memory.

3) ArrayList class can act as a list only because it implements List only.

                   Whereas

LinkedList class can act as a list and queue both because it implements List and Deque interfaces.

4) ArrayList is better for storing and accessing data.

                   Whereas

LinkedList is better for manipulating data.

strstr() returns part of a given string from the first occurrence of a given substring to the end of the string.
For example:
strstr("user@example.com","@") will return "@example.com".

stristr() is idential to strstr() except that it is case insensitive.

No problem. We can use network marketing as an alternative. The company already has its strong network of customers who can spread the word about its products. They can encourage referral rewards for say every three customers who will buy our product or avail our service.

We can also announce a contest for the customers to buy the product and win a chance to get himself broadcasted for the product advertisement. We can ask them to send in their photo along with the contest application form which they get alongwith the product they buy. So we don’t have to pay them as we would otherwise have to pay to a celebrity.

These days channel members are being accepted by companies as their partners. The intermediaries are even being asked to integrate their business with the companies which results in lesser costs, greater efficiency and improved customer service. Corporates like Airtel are adopting PRM (Partner relationship management) software to give that added advantage to their supply chain. They organise rewards and recognition programs for their channel partners and also organise proper channels though which partners can vent any of their grievances relating to payments, violation of codes etc.
