@Downgoat I mean, unless you're using the variable the outermost assignment is assigning to in the inner assignment, you can just assign the variable before using it in the expression
Stack Overflow recently taught me that there are two types of technology: The kind that people complain about, and the kind that no one uses. Seeing arguments like this makes me believe clichéd claims like that.
There is a phrase that is pretty commonly known to fans of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos (whether or not they've actually read the stories or not):
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!
Sometimes a longer version of the phrase comes up as well (untranslated in his stories*):
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!...
Where I can do some mapping of the complex plane ? i.e I give it some function $f(z) $(say, $f(z) = z^3-z^2+1$), and it shows me how the complex plane is trasformed ?
Say, an java applet or something like that ?
(Also, how to run the applets given here in Windows 8.1 with Java Version >7 ?
Unfurl a string
Given a square string, produce all the output for the string at every stage of unfurling.
Examples
Input:
A
Ouput:
A
Input:
DC
AB
Output:
DC
AB
D
ABC
ABCD
Input:
GFE
HID
ABC
Output:
GFE
HID
ABC
HG
IF
ABCDE
IH
ABCDEFG
I
ABCDEFGH
ABCDEFGH...
Unfold in all directions
code-golf
Input:
A string
Output:
1) First we take remove character at the end of the input-string until we are left with a length that is a square root (i.e. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, etc.)
So abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (length 26) becomes abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy (leng...
We've had a few challenges for base conversion, but all of them seem to apply to integer values. Let's do it with real numbers!
The challenge
Inputs:
A real positive number x, expressed in base 10. This can be taken as a double-precision float or as a string.
A target base b. This will be an ...
Given a non-empty string consisting of only lower and upper case alphabetical characters and spaces ([a-zA-Z ]), reduce it to a snippet of the alphabet, starting with the first character.
To reduce a string, begin with the first alphabetical character, then remove every character after it that i...
well the room is frozen rn (I let it be so that it doesn't get spammed)...I'll talk to the mod office over math.se to unfreeze it then you can come there
@ASCII-only Thanks. After googling around a bit, I found some good Wolfram Demonstartions too (but you need to donwload an 1 GB player to interact with them)
@LiefdeWen :P I usually do most of my answers straight in TIO now so I can do it quicker. Though I went with a naive for loop so you may be able to find a shorter solution with Linq.
@LiefdeWen VS has the advantage of intellisense and what-not, but the disadvantage of being bloaty, if you're trying to FGITW, going directly on TIO is better
requires existing knowledge of the libraries and such though
