I optimized a Binomial min heap in c++, great for low costs when you discard the heap not empty because you have your spanning tree or shortest route. I changed the root to an array for fast merge.

C is pretty married to ASCII but that leaves 128 more characters 128-255. ISO8859-1 assigns them to support Nordic/Germanic languages, often called LATIN-1. Even in the old days of 6 bit characters and BCDIC, what you printed depended on what roller was in the printer. Later, what belt, even with …

Generally any column named id is an artificial, auto-incremented, indexed key. Are your id's also primary keys, and so indexed? If a btree index, maybe make a hash index? A order date index btree not hash allows a range selection.

There may be integration to get the drivers and decoders onto the same die as the LEDs, but yes, otherwise, 3020 connections x 3 (R G B) and a very fast scan rate. Any my TV is 4K, not 1080. I suspect they may be driving more than one dot …

Assuming there is no magic free direct conversion tool, convert the python to pseudo code and then to JAVA. This will test your knowledge of when python does nice things for you automatically, which you may need to do manually in JAVA. You may be able to use more appropriate …

Assuming the file is utterly consistent (3 line sets, ssn w/o dashes in the second line), you can toss a line, read a line as a string or int, toss a line in a 3 line loop. Now, you can drop you SSN into an (ordered) set, which eliminates duplicates …

I write all my code in my brain as pseudo code, and later encode it in the language of the moment. Sometime I use paper in the middle. I have a bluetooth keyboard or two that make my phone pretty useful for data entry and programming. It is nice to …

Wow, can of 'sorts'. You need some sort of container, and there are others besides array: linked list, tree, hash table, skip list. Tree sorts as it adds, and even C has tsearch(). For small sets, you can delete the min value when you find and print it, and scan …

It depends on locks already held. Deadlock is p1 gets a and wants b bu about the same time p2 gets b and wants a. If all threads always lock resources in the same order, there is no deadlock or starvation.

There is consulting, where they run interference for you, freelance work, volunteer work, teaching, tutoring and open source collaboration to get your status up and your skills sharp.

The easiest thing is to write CSV files, which follow 4 simple rules: 1) cells are separated by a comma, 2) rows are separated by a cr-lf, 3) unless the comma or cr-lf is enclosed in double quotes, and 4) a doubled double quote is a double quote in a …

I usually go with another int set to -max (0x80000000) when seeking a max, so the first is generally greater and replaces it. Using <= means equal values get copied, and as writes are more expensive than reads (think cache), why bother unless either you are required to get the …

No comma before where in SQL.

Once you have the average, you need another loop that reviews the input against it and prints the desired items.

Or better yet, make it an array of char*, since a double quoted literal value is a char pointer to a constant on the heap.

Not seeing a lot of morphine, just a loop, a few ints, some io!

== is a shallow comparison, like shallow copy, true only if the refrences are identical, not the objects. http://adripofjavascript.com/blog/drips/object-equality-in-javascript.html JAVA and C++ also have this sort of limitation unless you overload the == operator or use a method, like compareTo, equals, and JAVAScript isEqual. JAVA Sets use object.equals(), which is …

The join table to itself tactic is very good for converting rows to columns. There are other tricks you can use with aggregates and case statements.

identical switch within switch is just wrong, and printing inside swtch ouside any case is not at all nice.

Wow, I just write a service that runs the query and reformats the column titles and values into an HTML table. If I wanted it to be more spreadsheet-like, there are caned javascript bits out there to allow you to re-sort the table.

More values than columns!

Since auto resizing arrays are not there in c, not classes, you might want to use a linked list or realloc() a char[] to size.

I have had good luck with: "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>My Title</TITLE>...</HEAD><BODY>...</BODY></HTML>"

Generally, when you go to a web site without a valid timed login cookie, the server redirects you to the login page, possibly with a cookie or variable saying where to go (the original page) after login.

If you open an output ofstream and use it not cout, the data is saved in a file.

If stick 3 runs the machine OK alone, then incompatibility is a strong possibility. However, there is usually one way things can work and an infinite number of ways they can be broken! It might be broken so it runs but messes up any and all other cards on the …

Just like scanf() and the JAVA Scanner Class, when you >> the next string, int, double, char, etc., then it reads, initially skipping over white space, into the variable from input until it has what you want, and when it hits an incompatible character, like white space for a string, …

In a database, you can just keep the count of every part, and as the users take or return stock, the count changes. If you want to know about the activity, you can have a table of activities, which can either be the primary and the stock level is the …
