sadly there are a LOT of professional marketeers here. They're all in the business of generating accounts for their spambots to flood the forums with link spam.
It's no doubt well known by now that Daniweb endorses link spam in signatures and won't do anything about it, so ever more will flock here knowing their messages won't be deleted and will turn up on Google searches for years to come.

Well .. are there any real numbers between 0 and 1?I thought there were only rational numbers.

Effectively the same thing when talking computers.

what's wrong with it to start with is the lack of code tags and formatting. Everything else is irrelevant as that means the code won't get read.

It's theoretically impossible for a computer with limited bit depth and memory to represent ALL real numbers in any specific interval.
Ergo, it is theoretically impossible to complete this challenge successfully.

I wonder what your (former) employers would have to say about you taking all the code you wrote for them and storing it for future use in other projects they're not getting paid for.

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

well, it involves a lot more THAN knowing formulas.

I'd start with writing datastructures and associated methods for 3D and 4D mathematics.
All those pesky matrix and vector things that you're going to need a LOT when doing your physics engine.
Test it, optimise the heck out of it, because if it's not bugfree and blazing fast you're going to be in serious trouble down the line.

Then start thinking about how you're going to be presenting the input for your physics engine to the engine, and how you'd want the results in an application independent way.

You'll likely end up with a combination of structs, classes, and loose functions.

This is a known bug when someone posts an enormous amount of code (over 1000 lines or something). We hope to see it resolved when the new lay-out rolls-out somewhere this year.

If the cook spits into the food and the waitress puts her finger into the soup, I usually pay only a 5% tip.

if they do that I pay nothing at all, except the seconds for a phone call to the police.
They'd be doing something that looses them their business license, and I'd have no qualms helping them loose it.

Too bad there isn't a count of the quality of a post.

number of replies is often a good indicator. Very low AND very high numbers indicate bad posts.

"refuses to work" is neither a runtime nor a compile time error.
What error are you actually getting (if any)?
And if none, why do you think you're getting none?

if you can't store all the data you need to store given your current datamodel you need to change that datamodel.

Without knowing the actual use and structure of the tables though that question is impossible to answer.

Yes, there is a free version with limited functionality of MS SQL Server. Not sure about the license terms, might be restricted to non-commercial use only.

For serious database work, I use Oracle or sometimes Firebird.

The ONLY way is through extensive experience using them.
I doubt anyone knows every method and field in every class of even the core API and knows its correct usage.
And if such a person exists no doubt that knowledge is purely academic and he has no clue as to how to actually apply it to real world situations.

you could define a margin of error within which the answer should be, maybe.

that would depend on the length of the input string, the algorithm used, and your definition of slow.

you your primary reason to like Linux is not that you like it but that you dislike the company that releases a competing product?
That's sadly quite typical of most of what I see of the Linux zealots which include the vast majority of its developers.
It's a major reason why Linux hasn't yet and probably never will reach the level of usability of Windows (or other major commercial OSs).

Linux has indeed come a long way since I first used it some 15 years ago, but it's effectively still at the stage of Windows 3.0 (at best) when it comes to ease of use and especially configuration.
That means it's still 20 years behind the times (and 15 years ago it was less far behind than that, so it's lost ground for all the improvements that have been made in the usability sphere at least).

And usability is ALL that matters to most people.

try every possible combination of substrings, test those for being a series of palindromes.
If you find out a possible sequence exists, you're done. If you've tested all possible sequences and found nothing, you're done too.

You can use any database engine with Java, so need to tell it which you're using and how to use it.

You make it by first typing in the source code, then assembling it.
Of course before you type it in you have to start an editor and learn Assembly, then think up how to actually implement the algorithm.
