thanks alot

Anyone have any suggestions for completing the last line below:

public/private define a variable's scope.
int/char/double define a variable's type.
static/non-static define a variable's ____________.

I know what static variables are, I just can't think of a word or even 2 words to fill in the blank. (I'm building a symbol table and I need a pidgeon hole for the "static" keyword.)

Thanks,

I'm not really sure how to even come close to making sure there are no possible collisions. Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you know nything about her contributing to math please respond.

Please help if you can

1. I have used im2col which basically turned gray-scale image into vector. 2. I have used the function vector quantization lbg algorithm which gave the VQ codebook as the output.

I understand that the image I have used to create the codebook is the training image. So here's my doubt: **How and where am I going to provide the test image in order to test the codebook created from the training image? **

What are your suggestions?

I have a line y = mx+c
and a circle (x-h)*(x-h)+(y-k)*(y-k) = r*r

I've expanded the circle: x*x-2*x*h+h*h+y*y-2*y*k+k*k = r*r

and substituted mx+c for y: x*x-2*x*h+h*h+(m*x+c)*(m*x+c)-2*(m*x+c)*k+k*k = r*r

expanding out: x*x-2*x*h+h*h+m*x*m*x+2*m*x*c+c*c-2*m*x*k+2*c*k+k*k = r*r

Now I want to get all x's on the one side so I can evaluate x:
x*x-2*x*h+m*x*m*x+2*m*x*c-2*m*x*k = r*r-h*h-c*c-2*c*k-k*k

I can refine it a wee bit further:
x*(x-2h+m*m*x+2*m*c-2*m*k) = r*r-h*h-c*c-2*c*k-k*k

But that's as far as I can go...

I have two threads A and B. Thread A prints only odd numbers. Thread B prints only even number. I want to synchronize it in such a way that on the screen I get continues numbers. How can I do that?
I was thinking of using sockets. Thread A prints and sends a message to thread B. Thread B prints and then sends a message to thread A. Any thread before printing checks for the message from other thread and prints only if they have received the message.

Is this the best design or any of you have a better design?

Thank-you in advance,
Sri

I read another article on this forum that was somewhat related (e.g., CPAtoCompSci), but it did not directly answer the question about how the market would view a 40 year old beginning a career in programming?

I will say that I look to be in my early 30's, so no one will necessarily know that I am 40, but that does not change the fact of my age. Also, I hope that my CPA credential will offset any age bias as it demonstrates a certain level of accomplishment, intelligence and general aptitude.

I also understand that getting a "first" programming job is as much about having a portfolio of projects/prior experience, as it is about a degree. With that in mind, I am currently working on some open source projects that should help on that front.

Also, I am interested to know the viability of breaking into a gaming programming role? ...possibly an Indy project that could be self-marketed through Microsoft (e.g., PEZ/Meathead). Is this as easy it seems?

Thank you for any perspective that can be offered.

My teacher asked us to implement the bigint data type in C, C++ or Java, we must also implement the basic operations (assignment, addition, subtracion, multiplication and division). I'm implementing in C, my ADT is implemented as an array of chars, the first char is used to represent the signal (+ or -) and the number is inserted using big endian notation and it has a fixed size, for example, representing the number 128 and 8 as the array size:

+82100000

I've already implemented addition, subtraction e multiplication, the problem is that we cannot use the repeated subtraction algorithm, we must implement something faster, for multiplication I used individual digit multiplication and left shifts, but for division I couldn't figure anything out yet.

Any suggestions?

Regards.

I'm a computer science student, my O.S teacher asked us to write a operating system simulator in java, each group of students should write a piece of the simulator, like memory management, process scheduler, file system, etc.

My group needs to make the file system part, it's more like a visual thing, it doesn't have to be as complex as an a complete file system. I'm not sure how I would do it, how would be the visual, or how we would simulate the disk blocks, sectors and stuff.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Each input file will contain 100000 letters, and be in a different language.

The way you are able to tell the languages apart is as follows:

English:  The top letter frequencies are e, i, and a respectively.
Danish:  The top letter frequencies are e, r, and n respectively. 
Italian:  The letters j, x, y do not exist in Italian (other than proper nouns, which are not           present in the input files). 

Your program MUST include 5 functions in addition to your main() function:

1. A void function that will take an array of size 100000, where each element is a letter from the input file, and another array of size 26 (size of the alphabet), where each element is a number indicating the frequency of occurrence (how often the letter shows up in the first array). This function will be used to fill the second (occurrence) array. The occurrence should be a percentage. HINT: The following code will be helpful when trying to determine which array position in the second array to increment:

temp_char = a[i]; // array a is the array of size 100000, with all letters
b[temp_char - 'a']++; // b is the array of size 26

1. A void function that will initialize an array of characters of size 26 so that element 0 = ‘a’, and so on until element 25 = ‘z’. HINT: The following code will be helpful:

alpha[i] = (char)i+97; // where alpha is the array is of type char, i is the element
// this uses type-casting to a char; 97 is ASCII-decimal code for ‘a’

1. A void function that sorts two arrays in parallel, both of size 26. One array will have the occurrence of letters, the other will be the char array of the alphabet. You want to sort in decreasing order so that the highest frequency is the first element (in one array) and its corresponding letter is also the first element (in the other array).

2. A value-returning function that returns the percentage of occurrence of a specific letter that is passed into the function. You will use this function to determine if the occurrence of j, x, y is zero. You may call it in other locations/situations if you wish.

3. A void function that takes in the occurrence array and the alphabet array and determines which language the file contains, based on the above assumptions of the languages. It will print out to standard output the language that was determined; if it cannot determine the input to be one of the above languages then it should just print out “the language cannot be determined”.

Your main function will open an input file and read the letters into an array. Call the functions above to first get the occurrence as a percent for each letter, and then determine the language used.

Also, include the following for testing:

• An if block based on a boolean flag

• If the bool is set to true it will print out the occurrence of each letter (sorted) using 2 columns: letters and frequency

• If the bool is set to false, this printing will not happen

• You will be setting the bool (manually, for each run).

Make sure you use appropriate data types and that your submission follows the assignment guidelines.

Note: The input files may have 100000 letters, or they may have slightly less or slightly more. Therefore, you should use appropriate file-handling procedures.

Part A: Write the C++ source code, compile the program and fix syntax errors.

Part B: Run the program 4 times:

1) input file is input_1.txt and the bool flag is off

2) input file is input_2.txt and the bool flag is on

3) input file is input_3.txt and the bool flag is off

4) input file is input_4.txt and the bool flag is on

We saw how to change the background color of a Web page by using the bgColor property of the document object. We can also use other document properties to change other colors: fgColor represents the color of the text; linkColor represents the color of "unvisited" links (which are usually blue); and vlinkColor represents the color of "visited" links (which are usually purple.)
Write an HTML page that will allow the user to customize the color scheme of the Web page. Use a series of prompts to allow the user to select colors for the background, text and link colors.

Make sure that your page contains some text and at least one link so that you can see that the colors get changed properly!

A MadLib is a game in which two people cooperate to create nonsensical (but often amusing) sentences. It works like this. One person creates a few sentences but leaves some words blank, noting instead what kind of word is intended to go there. For example:
A small [animal] started walking toward [place] when a big [color] [animal] [verb (past tense)] it.

Then the author asks the other person for words to fill in the blanks (without revealing the sentence itself). So in this case the second person might say "porcupine," "Albuquerque," "purple," "giraffe," "ate".

Then the author reveals the complete sentence: A small procupine started walking toward Albuquerque when a big purple giraffe ate it.

Some people find this funny, so in this exercise you'll create a webpage that allows users to fill in a simple Madlib. Before you start the webpage, create a sentence with at least three blanks in it. Your webpage should display a series of prompts to allow the user to fill in values to put in the blanks ("Name an animal." "Name a place." etc.). When the user is finished the filled-in MadLib should be displayed.

What is the time complexity of the above code?

btw, I always having problems related to time complexity, do you guys got some good article on it?
especially about the step count and loops and the growth rate of big-oh

(Since this is only a matter of opinion, you are free to add anything you want)

I've been going to my local university for far too long in persuit of a computer science degree, however, I now face the very real possibility of not being able to complete this degree program (about 3 high-end classes short).

I've been a freelance web developer for about 6 years (front and back-end), have knowledge in multiple languages throughout my years of going to school and personal programming, am familiar with several low to high levels of computer architecture, OOP, syntax and grammar, algorithm analysis (optimization), and of course all of my General education requirements, etc...

So the question becomes... what are my chances? what do I do next?

Any ideas (especially from people currently in the field) are greatly appreciated.

Heres my thought process so far. I'm using bash script so I broke up the data into 3 separate arrays. Process, arrival, and burst. I created a 4th array called totaltime. In reality I know that this is what the schedule should look like

|1|Process A|5|Process C|7|Process B|10|Process D|14|Process E|17|

My code logic is first check the arrival array and find the minimum and that row corresponds to the first process to be scheduled. Next Check which of the processes have arrival times that are less than the 1st process's burst time. Within that set of processes find the smartest burst time. Now this is where I'm stuck at. Do I use a if statement to check which of the processes are less than the 1st burst time and then use a for loop to find the smallest burst time of the set? After that how would I schedule the third process?

I am a quite, shy person and need to know what work environment would be best for a person who is quite and shy and requires the least amount of teamwork, more of an individual effort.

As far as working as a computer bench technician I had to talk only a little bit. if I didnt have to talk I didn't and worked more as an individual. This really didnt hurt my work because work required fixing a set number of computers more production based.

From what I've seen of entry level programmer when I was a mail clerk they didn't do to much talking. Just coding in a cubicle. This I can handle. Seems more of an individual effort which I have apptitude for. When is there a lot of cummunicating for programmers? I am sure there is a part of the job process that require some communicating.

From what Ive seen in Network Administration when I was a mail clerk they usually sit in a room together. When somthing need fixing one or a group whent to hotspot to fix problem. This seems like much more teamwork and interpersonal skills involved which is my weakness. Also Ive seen network admins work in a room with a glass window where everyone can walk by and stare at them. This would make me very self concious rather then compfortable in a cubicle.

Please give me more input, thanks for your time and expertise.

I am new to MATLAB and am trying to do multidimensional scaling for some data I have. It is just a 24x24 correlation matrix and I keep getting an error message that it is not a square matrix, but it is!! I don't understand :/ I've been following the MDS tutorial here (http://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/multidimensional-scaling.html#briu08r-2) and just replaced the map example numbers with my numbers. I also added some more titles to 24 since the city example only had 10. But I get this error! I made sure I had a ; after each of the 24 rows, so it should be square. Any advice on what I could have done wrong?

??? Error using ==> cmdscale at 90
Not a valid dissimilarity or distance matrix.

Thank you!!

How do you solve problems like these?

I also understand how to generate x86 instructions. However im lost somewhere in between linking these two. The book i have describes the first and last step but seems to omit how i get from:

Have a series of tokens that are correct eg :

import java.whatever;
Keyword | package Name | seperator | class name | seperator

It does not explain how i go from having a series of tokens that are known to be in the correct structure of the language to outputing binary or even assembly language from these tokens. Must i scan through the tokens again and generate binary or an assembly statement for each line? Or should it be implemented in a higher level of abstraction and add to the total value's of an executeable class?

I know its kind of a broad question, but any help on the general logic and filling the gap between correct tokens to outputing binary would be good :) its not something im grasping from the book.

I want to know exactly how this all works.

Wikipedia claims that an instruction set architecture determines the data, registers, addressing modes, memory, etc.

It also claims that it dictates the opcodes on a microprocessor.

Wikipedia says "Microarchitecture" is the way a given ISA is implemented on the chip itself.

But if the ISA dictates the specifications of the chip implemented on the micro side, what is the ISA? And how does it differ than the microarchitecture on the chip exactly?

This is unclear to me.

Like, let's say I want to develop for the chip in Assembly. Do I locate the ISAs for the microprocessor, or no?

Some experts told me the microarchitecture is the main selling point when developing in low level for the chip, but different ISAs can work on different chips?

I'm kind of confused....

A system is comprised of 100 smaller systems. 50 of these have a customer arrival rate of 10 per second and a expected delay time of 5 seconds. The other 50 have a customer arrival rate of 20 per second and an expected queue lengths of 1. Compute the expected delay time for the system as a whole.

I found out the queue length for the first one and got 50. I also figured out the wait time for the second with .05. I am unsure of how to get the delay time for the complete system. Is it just an average of the two subsystems?

Thank you for any help.

I have a matrix T1 which is of the form

cos(x) 0 +sin(x) 0.00; sin(x) 0 -cos(x) 0.00; 0.0000 1 0.00000 0.67; 0.0000 0 0.00000 1.00
How can that be represented in Matlab ?

I have seen that setting T1 to the following and displaying T1 produces only the sin and cos terms in the matrix,but not the zeroes.
T1 = [cos(x) 0 sin(x) 0;sin(x) 0 -cos(x) 0];

How do I get this done ?

Why does 'j' decrement by 1 when 'i' reaches 6? Since A[j] <= pivot and A[i] >= pivot at that point, shouldn't A[i] swap with A[j]? I am a bit confused about this part.

The pseudo code I am following is this:

//Partition array from A[p] to A[r] with pivot A[p]
//Result: A[i] ≤ A[j] for p ≤ i ≤ q and q + 1 ≤ j ≤ r

x = A[p] 
i  = p - 1
j  = r + 1
while true  // infinite loop, repeat forever
    repeat j = j - 1 
         until A[j] <= x
    repeat i = i +1 
         until A[i] >= x
    if  i < j 
            swap A[i] <-> A[j]
    else  return j

Can anyone help with this or is this pseudocode ok? I figure once I get the Pseudocode nailed down the rest should fall into place.

I am new here. I am taking an entry-level programming class at an online school. We are in our 5th week of pseudocode and learning to use loops and sentininels. I have just completed and individual assignment and was wondering if anyone would be nice enough to look at it and see if I left anything out. The assignment is to write a code that allows the user to enter a series of temperatures in degrees Celsius (C) terminated by the input of –999, using the conversion formula of F = 9 * C/ 5 + 32. For each one, find the corresponding temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F).

This is what I came up with using the supplied template...

Declare C As Float
Declare F As Float
Declare Temperature As Float
Write “Temperature Conversion Program”
Write “This program will convert a temperature, entered in”
Write “degrees Celsius, to degrees Fahrenheit.”
    Write “enter a temperature  number or press -999 to quit”
    Input Temperature
    While Temperature != -999
        Set F = 9 * C/ 5 + 32
    Write “The Temparture in Fahrenheit is”
End While

Bean website or some of the furniture manufacture websites you may have seen how you can pick a color and frabic and see how it's going to look on a particlular piece of cothing or furniture. Car manufucturers do it too on their websites...you can see what the vehicle is going to look like in any color.

Is there software that does this, or are they just creating tons of images files for each possiblke combination of color and fabric, and then displaying the appropriate image for the visitor's selction?

Thanks,
Bill
