step-5 Open Notepad and save an empty file as mongodb.log at location C:\MongoDB\log\mongodb.log

step-5 Open notepad and copy the following lines within it

   dbpath=C:\MongoDB\data\db
  logpath=C:\MongoDB\log\mongodb.log


   and save it as mongo.config at location C:\MongoDB


step-6 Open notepad and copy following line of code within it

@echo off
echo MongoDB Starting......
cd\
cd MongoDB\bin

mongod --config="C:\MongoDB\mongo.config"
rem pause

and save it as mongo_s.bat on your desktop.

step-7 Now run the mongo_s.bat as administrator and it will start the mongoDB server

step-8 Open cmd and navigate C:\MongoDB\bin and then type mongo followed by enter, It will connect the server and now you can start executing mongo commands.

Note:- Every time you start the server by clicking on mongo_s.bat it will create a new file in C:\MongoDB\log you can check it. If you have problem in creating saving files please open notepad as administrator.

Easiest Method to Read and Write into Files Streams in Competitive Programming

                      T his article is about easiest way to perform read and write operation from file. File handling is one of the most important aspect of programming and it becomes more important when we do competitive programming. Here are some context when you need to deal with files in comptetive programming. 1) Some specific programming contests like Google Code Jam and Facebook Hacker Cup they provide a file for input. You have to read input from that file and write answers into a file and upload on server within limited time. 2) If you are trying to code for a problem. Suppose the problem was that a square matrix is given and you have to rotate the matrix by 90 degree clock-wise. First line of input indicate the total no. of test cases and first line before matrix represents size of matrix. Then input would be like this. 3 5 10 23 43 34 21 11 13 43 30 71 10 23 43 ...
