Note: Looks like C code with the new operator. A note about new: Why should C++ programmers minimize use of 'new'? That said, because it is so heavily C-derived, there isn't much that can go wrong in this code that'll skip over the delete at the end without crashing the program first, so all you should have to worry about is using delete correctly. Everything you new you must delete. There are m +1 news and only one delete. — user4581301 just now

1. I'd omit the special cases since they're not necessary for correctness. (Unless I had benchmarks and a performance critical application, but interview questions aren't that.) 2. parseInt everywhere mixes up parsing and algorithm logic, which is a recipe for bugs in my experience. You could convert once, in makeDict. 3. Speaking of ++, I don't like the new version because it looks like it increments dict[num] followed by a redundant self assignment, and to C programmers, it looks like undefined behavior. You could post on codereview.stackexchange.com for more opinions. — David Eisenstat 7 secs ago

Yes but it works.. And it is easy to understand for beginner programmers.. — Gaurav Shinde 47 secs ago

I don't think there's a straightforward way to do this, but it's a good question. I think this question would do better over at Software Engineering, where they specialize more in these sorts of architecture questions. — Ryan M 38 secs ago

@EmptyCoder: Values like "12 October 2021 21:16:04" are strings. Strings support the -split operator. Split the datetime string on a space, and take the last element (not the 4th element) of the resulting array: ("12 October 2021 21:16:04" -split " ")[-1]. Be advised that careful programmers don't do date arithmetic on only the times. — Mike Sherrill 'Cat Recall' 56 secs ago

@02435324 I don't have enough experience with the kind of application design you describe to be certain: it might be worth asking a dedicated question on software engineering.SE. but fwiw I would build these mappings dynamically with some kind of class as described here. Indexing by primary key sounds reasonable: just avoid exposing the key to the end user if you can: there's no need to make an attacker's life any easier. Avoid relying on reloading a module: that's a pretty big code smell (imho) — 2e0byo 18 secs ago

Hello and welcome to the Stack Overflow community. Unfortunately, questions that ask for software recommendations tend to get closed by moderators. You may find this useful stackoverflow.com/help/dont-ask - You question is however one I know several people have had. A graph database can be very helpful if the number of relationships is large and requires traversing multiple hops. There are a lot of open source and commercially available graph database options. The documentation is out there you just need to search a bit more. Practical Gremlin has a few pointers that may be useful. — Kelvin Lawrence 49 secs ago

@EugeneSh. Yeah... it's a buzz word used by inexperienced programmers to make them sound smart when they have to re-write everything from scratch due to bad/non-existent program design... — Lundin 44 secs ago

This is too long and you claim you have written a "template" (whatever that is supposed to be), but there is nothing. Also read this: How to Ask. For the moment this question is just a homework dump.

(Venting) Your help throughout has been valuable, but we are missing something very core that you are taking for granted. After almost a year and multiple SO questions, we have achieved nothing and are at the end of our rope. Every time we think we have made a step forward, we appear to be further from a solution. Constructing and debugging this dead simple flow has been a year long project for several experienced java programmers, with no solution. Do you have any ideas? — pojo-guy 41 secs ago

Well, unlike Python, C revisions are mostly compatible, and one is encouraged to use the latest specification. As I said, most of beginner C programmers are not even aware of the existence of the Standard, and I believe they don't really need to until they reach a certain level where more in-depth understanding is needed and some language-lawyer questions are arising. Till then a quality C book/s is just enough. — Eugene Sh. 20 secs ago

Passwords should be hashed, not encrypted. Everything encrypted can be somehow decrypted, depending on the algorithm and so on. But, hashes are a "one-way street". When you hash something, you can validate that value only if the data that has to be compared is hashed also, then compared with the first hash. If someone steals your data from your database it's easier to that person to get to your original password, if it's encrypted. Imagine that password being used in multiple places. Though I had to mention that as many programmers still find that confusing. Did you get all your answers? — ad007 33 secs ago
