  • how to find out if a shape is passable

    - by jd
    I have a complex polygon (possibly concave) and a few of its edges marked as entry/exit points. there is a possibility that inside this polygon may lie one or more blockades of arbitrary shape. what approaches could I use to determine whether a path of certain width exists between a pair of entry/exit edges? having read through the question it looks like a homework type - it is not. I just wish to have a at least a few leads I could pursue, as this is new to me.

  • Scaling vectors from a center point?

    - by user146780
    I'm trying to figure out if I have points that make for example a square: * * * * and let's say I know the center of this square. I want a formula that will make it for eample twice its size but from the center * * * * * * * * Therefore the new shape is twice as large and from the center of the polygon. It has to work for any shape not just squares. I'm looking more for the theory behind it more than the implementation. Thanks

  • phrase split algorithm in PHP

    - by Eric Sim
    Not sure how to explain. Let's use an example. Say I want to split the sentence "Today is a great day." into today today is today is a today is a great today is a great day is is a is a great is a great day a a great a great day great great day day The idea is to get all the sequential combination in a sentence. I have been thinking what's the best way to do it in PHP. Any idea is welcome.

  • One Database Field to Hold Survey Answer

    - by yar
    Skipping the question of whether this is bad design (and the question of why I would want/need to do this), I'm just wondering if my 'math' is right... I have n things that need to be put in order (n is always less than 5): thing1 thing2 thing3 ... and I'd like to store these results in a single integer for thing. My initial thought is that (obviously the code will not look like this): thing = thing1 * 1 + thing2 * 2 + thing3 * 4 + thing5 * 8 will always give me a unique value, and that any value for thing will always translate back to its values for thing1...thingn. Is this correct?

  • please help me to implement such kind of sort

    - by davit-datuashvili
    hi i need to write sucj kind of sorting maybe it is similary to radix sort and also (this is not homework because i created it problem myself and please if anobody can help me) problem is like this suppose i have array int x[]=new int[]{4,5,3,2,1}; let write it into binary form 5 -0101 4- 0100 3-0011 2-0010 1-0001 i want to sort this elements by using bitwise operatos or check each bit and if less exchange it can anybody help me for example take 5 and 4 check first rightmost bit 0==0 so continue in the 1 index also 1==1 next the same 0=0 and last one 10 it means that first element is greater then second so exchange it please help me

  • bidirectional buble sort

    - by davit-datuashvili
    Here is the code I'm using for shacker sort (or bidirectional buble sort). Something is wrong; the error is java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. Can anybody help me? public class bidirectional{ public static void main(String[]args){ int x[]=new int[]{12,9,4,99,120,1,3,10}; int j; int n=x.length; int st=-1; while (st<n){ st++; n--; for (j=st;j<n;j++) { if (x[j]>x[j+1]) { int t=x[j]; x[j]=x[j+1]; x[j+1]=t; } } for (j=n;--j>=st;) { if (x[j]>x[j+1]) { int t=x[j]; x[j]=x[j+1]; x[j+1]=t; } } } for (int k=0;k<x.length;k++) { System.out.println(x[k]); } } }

  • How can I detect common substrings in a list of strings

    - by danio
    Given a set of strings, for example: EFgreen EFgrey EntireS1 EntireS2 J27RedP1 J27GreenP1 J27RedP2 J27GreenP2 JournalP1Black JournalP1Blue JournalP1Green JournalP1Red JournalP2Black JournalP2Blue JournalP2Green I want to be able to detect that these are three sets of files: EntireS[1,2] J27[Red,Green]P[1,2] JournalP[1,2][Red,Green,Blue] Are there any known ways of approaching this problem - any published papers I can read on this? The approach I am considering is for each string look at all other strings and find the common characters and where differing characters are, trying to find sets of strings that have the most in common, but I fear that this is not very efficient and may give false positives. Note that this is not the same as 'How do I detect groups of common strings in filenames' because that assumes that a string will always have a series of digits following it.

  • Reduce text length to fit cell width in a smart manner

    - by Andrei Ciobanu
    Hello, I am in project where we are building a simple web calendar using Java EE technologies. We define a table where every row is an employee, and every column represents an hour interval. The table width and column widths are adjustable. In every cell we have a text retrieved from a database, indicating what the employee is doing / should do in that time interval. The problem is that sometimes the text in cells is getting bigger than the actual cell. My task is to make the text more "readable" by reducing it's length in a "smart way" so that it can fit in the cell more "gracefully". For example if initially in a cell I have: "Writing documents", after the resize I should retrieve: "Wrtng. dcmnts" or "Writ. docum." so that the text can fit well. Is there a smart way to do it ? Or removing vocals / split the string in two is enough ?

  • Interview question: C program to sort a binary array in O(n)

    - by Zacky112
    I've comeup with the following program to do it, but it does not seem to work and goes into infinite loop. Its working is similar to quicksort. int main() { int arr[] = {1,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}; int N = 18; int *front, *last; front = arr; last = arr + N; while(front <= last) { while( (front < last) && (*front == 0) ) front++; while( (front < last) && (*last == 1) ) last--; if( front < last) { int temp = *front; *front = *last; *last = temp; front ++; last--; } } for(int i=0;i<N;i++) printf("%d ",arr[i]); return 0; }

  • Best way to reverse a string in C# 2.0

    - by Guy
    I've just had to write a string reverse function in C# 2.0 (i.e. LINQ not available) and came up with this: public string Reverse(string text) { char[] cArray = text.ToCharArray(); string reverse = String.Empty; for (int i = cArray.Length - 1; i > -1; i--) { reverse += cArray[i]; } return reverse; } Personally I'm not crazy about the function and am convinced that there's a better way to do it. Is there?

  • Choose between multiple options with defined probability

    - by Sijin
    I have a scenario where I need to show a different page to a user for the same url based on a probability distribution, so for e.g. for 3 pages the distribution might be page 1 - 30% of all users page 2 - 50% of all users page 3 - 20% of all users When deciding what page to load for a given user, what technique can I use to ensure that the overall distribution matches the above? I am thinking I need a way to choose an object at "random" from a set X { x1, x2....xn } except that instead of all objects being equally likely the probability of an object being selected is defined beforehand.

  • R implementation of sorting by reversals

    - by user1357015
    I was wondering if there is an implementation in R where it sorts a permutation of n numbers into the original 1...n sequence and provides the number of reversals needed. Eg an implementation of the "sorting by reversals" or "sorting by translocation" as outlined in this ppt. Specifically, I have a permutation of a sequence of n elements, pi(n), and I want to figure out how close it is to the original sequence. The number of reversals seems a good metric. Thanks!

  • Finding whether a point lies inside a rectangle or not

    - by avd
    The rectangle can be oriented in any way...need not be axis aligned. Now I want to find whether a point lies inside the rectangle or not. One method I could think of was to rotate the rectangle and point coordinates to make the rectangle axis aligned and then by simply testing the coordinates of point whether they lies within that of rectangle's or not. The above method requires rotation and hence floating point operations. Is there any other efficient way to do this??

  • How can I parse free text (Twitter tweets) against a large database of values?

    - by user136416
    Hi there Suppose I have a database containing 500,000 records, each representing, say, an animal. What would be the best approach for parsing 140 character tweets to identify matching records by animal name? For instance, in this string... "I went down to the woods to day and couldn't believe my eyes: I saw a bear having a picnic with a squirrel." ... I would like to flag up the words "bear" and "squirrel", as they appear in my database. This strikes me as a problem that has probably been solved many times, but from where I'm sitting it looks prohibitively intensive - iterating over every db record checking for a match in the string is surely a crazy way to do it. Can anyone with a comp sci degree put me out of my misery? I'm working in C# if that makes any difference. Cheers!

  • How can I find the boundaries of a subset of a sorted list?

    - by Alex
    I have the following dilemma: I have a list of strings, and I want to find the set of string which start with a certain prefix. The list is sorted, so the naive solution is this: Perform binary search on the prefixes of the set, and when you find an element that starts with the prefix, traverse up linearly until you hit the top of the subset. This runs in linear time, however, and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a more efficient way to do it.

    How to get the keyword match number for many categories? The scenario is that when I type a product keyword, I want to get the match item number in many categories. For example, when I type the keyword "iphone" , the page will show the match item number in many categories: Mobile(5) battery(2) app(6) typeA(2) typeB(9) typeC(15) typeC(1) typeD(9) typeE(7) typeF(8) ...... ...... typeZ(5) How to implement this for a better performance? I use C# ASP.NET.
