Hello, I am writing a little script that needs to get the timezone from an rss feed, and I am using [URL="http://www.feedparser.org/"]Feed Parser[/URL] to parse the rss feeds. The way that I am converting the date into Unix Epoch time is: [CODE] feedDate = feed['feed'].get('updated_parsed') or feed.entries[0].get('updated_parsed') feedDate = mktime(datetime(*feedDate[0:6]).timetuple())[/CODE] …

The code shows a fast prime number generator using a sieve algorithm. It looks at only odd numbers. Technically 1 and 2 are prime numbers too, since they are only divisible by unity and themselves, exceptions are made for 1 and 2. Zero and negative numbers return an empty list. …

I'm new to this stuff, so bare with me! I'm trying to determine the time complexity of a recursive algorithm which reverses the branches of a tree. The algorithm in R goes as follows: [CODE]rev <- function (x) { if (is.leaf(x)) return(x) k <- length(x) if (k < 1) stop("dendrogram …

Hey all, I've been struggling for the past few days with a "recursive" function that was driving me crazy till this moment. So, the function takes a list of sublists, each sublist containing a number of strings. Then, the function returns a list of lists of all possible combinations that …

I have a question regarding Dijkstra's algorithm (priority-first search) To be precise: In [url]http://flylib.com/books/en/3.56.1.58/1/[/url] The statement to reassign the weight of tree vertices to 0 is needed for a general PFS implementation but not for Dijkstra's algorithm, since the priorities of the vertices added to the SPT are nondecreasing Note …
