You want to do something interesting and challenging. So, how to land that perfect summer internship that will help you in the future? Here I will provide some guidelines for you on how to do it.
Industry. First of all, you should decide in which industry do you want to work. You should follow your passion and what interests you. You do not want to end up working in a field of work which is boring for you.
Company. Brainstorm a big list of companies where you would like to work. Then narrow it down by the location, the structure of the company and the internship programme they are offering.
Work. Check what kind of job you will need to do in the company. Will you be interested in that work? Will you acquire new skills? You do not want to end up running errands or organizing document. The internship should be worth of your time and not be something that you would regret later.
CV and cover letter. Write standing out CV and cover letter. Mention projects you took part in, any volunteering work and etc. Think on how to be different from everybody else.
Follow up. After applying try not to be shy and take initiative to make calls or send e-mails. You could ask did they receive your CV or do they have any questions regarding your application.
You will expand your global network by making new friends in different country.
You may learn a new language or improve your language skills. The best way to learn a language is by talking in it and hearing it majority of the time.
It would be the perfect lesson in independence.
You will gain cross-communication skills. Which can be a huge advantage for you in the future.
I hope these guidelines are helpful for you. So now all you need to do is just grab your computer and start searching for the perfect summer internship. This is something you definitely won't regret doing.

De Anza College is facing district-wide budget cuts that will affect programs such as dance, music, tennis and several others. Elimination of these programs is viable, and there will be only more to come in the following months. This is a re-cap of what has been discussed so far.

Q: Value not stored in index 0 in character array Problem: I have been trying to get characters as input from user and store it in a character array using the scanf() function in c, but there is no value stored at index 0 of the array. I don't understand why this is happening. This is the code I am  working with,
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int n,i;
     printf("Enter number of characters to store: ");
    scanf("%d", &n); //length of character array
    char ch_arr[n+1];
    printf("Enter the string: ");
    for(i=0;i<n+1;i++){
        scanf("%c",&ch_arr[i]); //get characters from user
    }
    printf("You have entered: \n");
    for(i=0;i<n+1;i++){
        printf("Index %d = %c\n",i,ch_arr[i]); //print the character array
    }
    printf("\nThe character at index 2 is =%c",ch_arr[2]);

}

The output for the above code is
Enter number of characters to store: 5
Enter the string: stack
You have entered:
Index 0=

Index 1= s
Index 2= t
Index 3= a
Index 4= c
Index 5= k

The character at index 2 is =t

The character at index 2 should be a. There is no value store at index 0. Can anybody explain why this occur and how to solve this without using other ways to get input such as gets() etc..

A: The array stores the new line character '\n' stored in the buffer after this call of scanf
scanf("%d", &n);

that corresponds to the pressed key Enter. It is seen from the output.
You could write this call for example like
scanf("%d%*c", &n);

Another approach is to change the loop the following way
for(i=0; i< n + 1;i++){
    scanf(i == 0 ? " %c" ? "%c",&ch_arr[i]); //get characters from user
}

Or if you want to store a string in the array then write
size_t i = 0;
for( ; i < n; i++ ){
    scanf(i == 0 ? " %c" ? "%c",&ch_arr[i]); //get characters from user
}
ch_arr[i] = '\0';

Or if you do not want to enter a sequence with embedded spaces then you can write the call of scanf simpler
size_t i = 0;
for( ; i < n; i++ ){
    scanf( " %c",&ch_arr[i]); //get characters from user
}
ch_arr[i] = '\0';

Pay attention to the leading space in the format string. It allows to skip white space characters.
