@Downgoat I honestly wonder how much of that is because Java is such a stereotypical programming language. Kinda like how IE would (probably) be the most-used browser in typical big business offices, and most users probably would like it.
In Windows, when you perform double-click in a text, the word around your cursor in the text will be selected.
(This feature has more complicated properties, but they will not be required to be implemented for this challenge.)
For example, let | be your cursor in abc de|f ghi.
Then, when you d...
I'm new here. I tried seeing if this challenge was introduced before. Found a close call one counting the number of cycles, but not one for listing them. So I'm writing this one. Sorry if I'm repeating...
Anyway, I'm looking for the shortest function to return all close cycles in a shuffled list...
Idea: output a 4×4 block of asterisks - the specs didn't say the characters couldn't overlap - there are lots of tiny fonts out there! — Yimin Rong1 min ago
I would like to expand on Trevor Wilson's answer. Base-$b$ representation of integers is rooted in the fact that, for any non-negative integer $n$, there is a unique representation of $n$ in the form $$n = \sum_{i=0}^\infty a_ib^i$$ where $0 \le a_i < b$. For example, when $b$ is 3, and $n$ is ...
another problem with unary is that if you talk about base-n in general you have to either exclude 1 or you can't say stuff that it takes log_n(x) digits to represent number x
I kinda got confused for a second until I realized (being the chowderhead I am) it doesn't really make sense ||| -> 1^1 + 1^1 + 1^1 and consider it positional
We wants to use some of my music for one of his video series, so he asked me to write some. So I have a bunch of music samples, and I am asking him which one I should focus my efforts on.
That reminds me. How do ships in Star Trek always appear right-side-up to each other? Is there just a series of navigational buoys when you enter a planetary system that says "This way up." or something?
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the thermal radiation left over from the time of recombination in Big Bang cosmology. In older literature, the CMB is also variously known as cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) or "relic radiation". The CMB is a cosmic background radiation that is fundamental to observational cosmology because it is the oldest light in the universe, dating to the epoch of recombination. With a traditional optical telescope, the space between stars and galaxies (the background) is completely dark. However, a sufficiently sensitive radio telescope shows a fai...
