 | [quote] "D is a systems programming language. Its focus is on combining the power and high performance of C and C++ with the programmer productivity of modern languages like Ruby and Python. [/quote] Danger Will Robinson! Danger! Danger! (Then again, PL/I worked out alright.) |
 | Re: Pseudocode Well, pseudocode is just any arbitrary description of a computational procedure not meant for interpretation by a computing machine in its initial form. I agree with a previous poster that there aren't rules of pseudocode, except what an instructor or you impose. Always - whether doing pseudocode or real code … |
| | ^ They probably just emailed hotmail with a friendly request to reset the password to what it was previously.  |
| | Well, a couple of things. First off, you're never allocating any room for the string a. You're just declaring a pointer for it; when the user enters data, it has nowhere to go. You probably want to do something like [code] char a[32]; [/code] Or something. Second, you are using …  |
| | Again, call me a sceptic but it's hard to believe in this kind of stuff. It is a little too reminiscent of the luminiferous aether theory for my comfort, despite the various "smoking guns" for its existence. While there certainly seem to be some predictions that are confirmed, let us …  |
| | I stopped trusting whores a long time ago. |
 | Well, unless there are human beings living on some other planet. Star wars, anyone?  |
| | Simple. Just have a precondition that the algorithm be specified in correct C code. |
| | Design a programming language to compute functions which are not Turing computable. Send me a copy first before you tell anybody else, and I'll check it. Alternatively, prove that P=NP or P=/=NP and send me a copy of the proof before you tell anybody else. I'll check it first, and … |
| | I would recommend looking for free ebooks online. For instance, go to Google and search for PDFs with keywords "algorithm" and "introduction". Here, I'll do it for you. Here we go, try this on for size. http://net.pku.edu.cn/~course/cs101/resource/Intro2Algorithm/IntroductionToAlgorithm_v2_en.pdf  |

 | Re: Piracy Some of the arguments in this thread are just plain ridiculous. PCSAWICK829: How much are you selling your TV for? I guarantee I *could* come into your house and take it for free, if I feel you're overcharging me. That seems pretty black-and-white to me. |
| | ^ Sorry, call me a callous bastard, but if you can't scrape together $30 US, you should probably not be playing video games. If these people are genuinely financially secure in their home country, let them buy games made over there for $1 US or whatever. Russia, China, etc. have … |

| | Re: Weird Bug [quote] Bush hid the facts [/quote] Try it with "Wron gfo rum dudes" and I hypothesize you'll witness the same behavior. |
| | Thread necromancy? Man this was a fun read though. I sympathize with cwarn, though... I tend to believe that "irrational" numbers in general have a weaker correspondence to "reality" - or physical reality, or God's reality, or whatever - than do, say, the integers and the rational numbers. Not in … |
| | Take the public-key scheme RSA for example. Take two primes, p and q. Let n = pq be public. Compute K = phi(pq) = (p-1)(q-1). Choose 1 < e < K so that gcd(e, K) = 1. Then compute d = e^inv (mod K). e is the public key, and … |
| | I have learned and done work (including academic work, as a disclaimer) in assembler, C, C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Basic (several flavors), Scheme, Python, Perl, PHP, Smalltalk, Ada, Pascal, Fortran90, and Prolog, and probably a few others I'm forgetting. Plus if you count SQL (MySQL) and/or HTML, those too. And … |
| | Jeez I'm a conservative and that just makes me cringe. Why are conservatives so dumb? Am I that dumb? I'm going to go cry now. |
 | ^ Is it kosher to solicit members for a different forum on Daniweb? I am simply curious; I am tempted to report this thread in good faith. Additionally, what precisely does this have to do with "computer science"? I do not necessarily mean to question the value of this line …  |
| | ^ Well, I agree that this is a bogus money grab, but they're not taxing the Internet but vendors who sell things online. Honestly it's not so crazy an idea to tax sales by a company made using the internet... ah well. I hope it doesn't happen, but if it … |
| | [quote] (if this is not the right place to post this please tell me) [/quote] I don't know, it doesn't seem like the right place to post. Maybe it's just me. Seems more like an advertisement, or a post about software, or something cool for people to check out and … |
| | Perhaps what you could invent is a software system to check documents for spelling and grammar. You could use a book of words to look up tokens and find near-hits, and you could use some basic grammar rules to try to parse simple grammatical errors. You could make it so … |
| | Call me paranoid, but I hypothesize that at least two of these accounts are owned by the same individual.  |
| | |
| | Classic. Silly FBI. I wonder whether some silly willy will lose his/her job over this.  |
| | I have noticed a few questions popping up from time to time on the subject of formal languages in general, and on regular languages in particular. As I'm pretty bored and enjoy the study of formal languages to a reasonable extent, I thought I might try to give a quick-and-dirty … |
| | Hey if you go to Notepad, type in "Stop posting this stuff in the CS forum" and read it 100 times, you will be amazed by the results! This is really super special cool one! |
 | Just write your own code, using a stack like it's meant to be used. You have your search stack. Empty it into a temp stack until you find what you want or hit the end. Then take your temp stack contents and empty into the search stack. Voila! O(n) search … |
| | I'd probably stick to classics like Comp. Sci., Soft. Eng., Comp. Eng., or Info. Sys. Frankly anything else might make people think "CS-light" or "Info. Sys.". I like to think I know better than the average guy off the street, and even I'd be wary of a program called "Ethical … |
 | I'm not sure how superstitious this makes me, but I believe in demons and probably the "devil" (though not necessarily of the strict Christian interpretation) and that there are lots of things which happen which are beyond the powers of human comprehension. Generally I believe in the possibility of psychic, … |
| | [quote]especially when they still have to purchase the e-book. [/quote] Plus, is it possible to resell books on your Kindle to the Kindle store? I always liked taking books I didn't want anymore (mostly nontechnical, but not all) and getting a few twenties. Beer money, anyone? |
| | Hey, I am pretty sure some software is pretty portable like you're asking, but I really don't know. You might have more luck in the "Hardware and Software" subforum... Probably a Linux area there. (This isn't a great place for the question.) Good luck. |
| | [quote] can some one explain the full detail for computer organization thx.... [/quote] Probably. I'd like to meet him, too. |
| | Uh, I think it's normally customary for the node class and the linked-list class to be made into separate entities. Without looking too hard at your code, this could be part of the problem. In any event, it's dangerous and - frankly - weird that every node contains a reference … |
| | Re: Guns For me, it has nothing to do with society. Screw society. If I want to go buy a gun tomorrow to shoot holes in a tree in my backyard, that should be my right. A few maniacs running around blowing each others' heads off doesn't invalidate that right. There's already … |
| | This forum isn't about getting ideas for projects, despite the myriad threads to that effect. Please enquire elsewhere. |
| | You can also call main() recursively from anywhere in your program. This could be a good or a terrible idea depending on what you're doing. |
 | [quote]Is it possible?[/quote] Yes, it is possible. Post some code and mod me up and we'll talk about how you go about doing it.  |
| | Interesting. You could always try *every* rectangle and take the maximum sum. You would have to pick your top, left, right, and bottom coordinate independently in this approach. Since you would have sqrt(n) choices for each (well, not really, but on the order of that many) where n is the … |
| | Only post in one forum. Preferably, the correct one... like CS if you need help with an algorithm. Multiple posts means no more help from me. |
| | Funny, I thought this was a Computer Science forum, not a forum about using Google to solve math problems, "basic math", or "differential equations". Of course computer science problems are a kind of math problem, and programming is a kind of applied mathematics. But I don't necessarily think that is … |
 | If everything you now know about programming languages, if you could go back in time and change anything about C++ that you wanted to, what would you change, if anything? Just out of curiosity, why is calling main() recursively legal in C but "illegal" in C++? Is there a technical … |
| | Here's the answer to the question you're really begging here. 1. Show some effort. Come on. Give me something. 2. Have you tried this? It's very easy if you think about it. 3. If you haven't thought about it and don't plan to, I suggest you drop out of your … |
| | Re: Online exam [quote] im pradeesh giv me some of ideas to my project it is "online exam for blind persons" [/quote] I wouldn't worry too much about the graphical layout of the page. Audio is probably a good idea. You know, I imagine blind people know they are blind before they get … |
| | Re: Thesis Title "How it is that I couldn't come up with a name for my project, but the project is still good enough for it to be approved so I can get out of here (aka The Handouts and the Pauper)" |
| | Learn as many languages as you can, not because you are worried you might have to know one or the other for some job, but because it will make you a better thinker and problem-solver. |
| | So I imagine I'll take some flak for this, but this is in no way, shape, form, or any reader's imagination a question about "Computer Science", right? Why does the CS forum get all the "I want to do a vague project, tell me what to do" threads? |
| | Re: c++ question First off, I'd write the for statement as this: [code] for (int count = no1; count <= no2; count++) [/code] Notice that the "no1" thing is required and the "<=" thing is my preference. Now, you want the sum of all numbers between no1 and no2. Inside the body of … |
The End.
