Nobody knows when a substitution should be used. Problem solving works by guessing what steps to do and seeing where it leads, and you can only get better at guessing with experience.

You should...

The length of N is 1 + floor(log_2(N)).

Okay. In that case, it makes sense the separate the linked-listy parts of your objects from the polynomial parts of your objects, so that you only have to worry about one part of the problem at a...

You shouldn't roll your own linked lists. Use std::list or std::vector (since there's little reason for prefering linked lists).

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.

Now I remember why I got an HP-49G.

You can always do a replacement that produces a bigger value, when finding a big O bound. For example, consider:


i = 1
while i < n {
for j in (0..i) {
print j
}
i = i * 2
}

Whatever programming language you want.

You can do this with Javascript (and HTML).

All these long, self-indulgent answers when the first was sufficient.

You should use whatever you're most familiar with.

People won't want to waste their time giving help to somebody who won't put in a good effort in what they do -- so they think their help will be wasted. When you can't even put in the effort to...

Your solution for the first is wrong. The inside of your inner loop is O(1), the outside of your inner loop is O(n^3), the inside of your outer loop is the same, O(n^3), and the outside of the outer...

php.net should be avoided. It is fully of buggy and security-hole ridden examples. No, I don't have an example of this, I don't feel like going back and looking them up again.

UML is stupid and should be avoided. And definitely shouldn't be studied and studied and studied and studied and studied...

And here are some naive answers.

1. Type checking proves properties about the code. The compiler proves your assertion that your function returns an int, or that it returns something whose type...

Yeah, "using" induction to prove the correctness of an algorithm, ever so formally, is a hassle. Thinking inductively (I mean recursively) is less-so.

When you have an algorithm with recursive...

You can probably find worst-case numbers though, using some comparisons to simpler equations.

There isn't an easy way to do that in BNF, but maybe there is via one of its extensions. However, I'm pretty sure the mainstream extensions don't have that facility either.

You assure that the algorithm works by proving it works. For recursive functions (and oftentimes, for things like while loops), you can prove the function works with the following sort of strategy:...

Well we can't figure out your problem without seeing the code.

The platform is the last thing you should choose. How can you know the appropriate platform before you've decided what you want to do?

Not without code.

Your answer makes sense, in terms of stacking naive interpreters atop one another.

Your examples of levels are completely nonsensical though, justsoyouknow. "Binary numbers" is not a programming...

Yes, you.

"Level"?

What is a "level"? This question makes no sense.

Overloading is one thing, and polymorphism is another. Look at the definitions on the internet and then use thinking to figure how they are related and unrelated.

Who are you replying to? Since when did we start talking about multitasking?

I'm not sure what's wrong with running mono, any deficiencies will be in the mono documentation.

MSDN has information on having multiple threads in C#. It's fairly straightforward.

The best video game is the playlist I have playing right now. Rachmaninov Op. 1, 18, 30, 40, and 43. The storyline can't be beat!

You'll need to use Javascript for the behavior of the page to be based on the contents of the text box. Learn Javascript and HTML and use that information to solve your problem.

If you can't figure out a basic idea of the definitions after reading books on the topic, I don't think reading some post in the forum will help you.

This is not a computer science or software design question.

Anyway, Linux distributions generally have some norms for how packages are distributed and installed. So first you need to think about...

Take undergrad classes in the subjects to figure out what you're interested in.



It should be easy to pick up whatever programming languages you need when you get to them.

Tsunamis aren't weather.

Because your compiler.

There is no such thing as technical programming. Functional programming is the writing of software in a referentially transparent manner.

Front end developers develop the front end, whereas back...

I could make a wristwatch for them to wear that injects a sedative.

Really? I can forecast the next 5 minutes of weather with high accuracy.
