It'd be tough to implement a custom algorithm, I think. You're best bet would be to find some third party/open source frameworks for P2P...

I'll have to agree with Rashakil on this one. Math is extremely important. A few years back I would have told you that math is just worthless crap you will never use, but once you get into the more...

What's there to lose? Go for it. If it doesn't work, then you know what not to do. I'd say writing software that has support of multiple platforms would increase your sales. I'm curious, what...

What do you mean you don't know what node to look at?

startsWith(String prefix)
endsWith(String postfix)

Have you illustrated some of these ideas? It could help.

There is no language called 'best'. That's the bottom line.

On a serious note, however, you can't get any easier than vb.net with visual studio. Of course, you might should listen to vegaseat. ...

Pretty cool. I actually started writing a console connect four game in c++ this morning. I'm done with it, but it's only two player. Shortly I'll be working on it for human vs computer.

Would you like me to write the whole thing for you?

Good luck on that.

I have a very basic solution:

Let's say you have a text field that supports 50 characters and your text is only 20 characters. You could get the text length, subtract that from the amount of...

You could put some applets around your page I guess, but I think that'll have an opposite effect. If you want to make your bulletin board look better you can change colors and stuff like that...

I'll do that for you if you do my pre cal homework.

That REALLY sounds fun!

Sauce, do you know of anywhere to buy a nice robotics programming package? Possibly for C++? That sounds really fun, but I can't seem to find much.

I made a fractal drawer once. You can see pictures of it on my website, but it's not very fast.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank for the replies. That was actually exactly what I'm looking for. I have trouble thinking through the logical "non-sense" problems that are almost always at coding competitions. I was trying...

My question: How important is it to learn and understand sorting algorithms and routines?

http://www.brpreiss.com/books/opus5/html/page512.html

Looks good to me. I like how you have recommended books with your topics.

I haven't coded in C#, but I know it's catching on pretty fast. I have done some VB.NET and liked the feel of it.

Sounds like a spanning tree problem. I think you invert the direction and go from there, or something like that.

That's a neat idea, Cross. RLG, that's probably something you should consider.

If your teacher does not care about the complexity, you could always make a console application(one that runs at the command line).

Hmmm. I can easily help you with something in java, that's the language your after right?

Something simple: A mortgage calculator

It's an easy project but it does require some knowlege of...

Ok, I see. So what career field are you wanting it based upon? If you narrow it down, I'm sure we could come up with something good.

By the way, is there a level of complexity involved? How far...

What do you mean a physical project?

Is OCP the Oracle cert?

I kind of like this site:
http://smartcertifydirect.com/

I've never used it, but if I had to do an online cert course, it would probably be that.

Here it is in Java notation. I don't know C.

int a;
int b;

a = a+b;


b = a-b;
a = a-b;

I was joking. None of us will help you with your friends hacking attempt. I can't believe you would even think we would help you or your friend do something like that.

Duh, they block all dirty content.

Yes, but I wouldn't wait till college to start learninng programming.

So does java?

I have this code that creates a triangle based on user input, which is the base of the triangle. Now, what I want to know, is how could you display the triangle upside down, and have spaces in...

Well, I got graded down for what the teacher called " being dirty with clay".. :cheesy:

I made a 'B' in Art, I didn't find that very easy?

I would say Java; if you look around you'll notice a lot of classes are being taught in Java. I guess this is because it helps in mastering OO design, and best of all, it's user friendly!

I'm in AP Computer Science right now in high school, and I find it very easy. I guess the best way to go, would be find out what language they will be teaching the year you come up, and start...

New code --- Efficency

Modifying code -- improve efficency :mrgreen:

You can dual boot. It's really easy, just create another partition while installing the linux distro.
