Yuushi

@user2745681 Just a basic DFA?

rolfl

@user2745681 I said it was not finite... I wonder if it is....

It is certainly not a DFA.

user 2745681

NFA??

Yuushi

2:23 AM

can always convert an NFA to a DFA using subset construction

rolfl

Maybe NFA.... maybe, but there is an infinite input stream...non-deterministic.

java clean-code game homework

@user2745681 where would you describe the boundary of the FA? 'Where' is it in your code?

Yuushi

I can't really see anything resembling an automaton there...generally, a simple way to do it is to have a set of states (you can create a State type, or use whatever you want), and then just have a Map<<State, Transition>, State>

then there's some mucking around with setting a start state, and a set of final states

user 2745681

@rolfl I compare the first letter of the text to the input and when it matches it will set that enemy as the target and all the input will go to that enemy until its done.. Sorry for my bad English..

Yuushi

2:38 AM

@user2745681 This won't run as I haven't given it a main, but if I had to write a DFA, I'd probably start with something like this: ideone.com/kVys9f

err, or fixed up with some less stupid stuff

ideone.com/kVys9f

rolfl

@user2745681 I don't see anywhere in the code in the question where you are doing that.

Yuushi

(never mind the multiple public classes, I just can't split it up using an online compiler :)

user 2745681

@rolfl I'm sorry I will update my code in question..

@rolfl I updated it, it is the public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ek) {...}

syb0rg

For reference here:

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ek)
{
    int key = ek.getKeyCode();
    char character = Character.toLowerCase(ek.getKeyChar());
    boolean result = isValid(key);

    if(result && !target)
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < e.size(); i++)
            if(e.get(i).getFirstLetter() == character && e.get(i).getOnScreen())
            {
                enemy = e.get(i);
                targetText = enemy.getText();
                enemy.addIndex(1);
                target = true;
                break;

@user2745681 By the way, modifying your code once it has been reviewed is discouraged.

nhgrif

is if(result && !target) in Java preferred to if(isValid(key) && !target)?

Or is result used again later?

user 2745681

2:51 AM

@nhgrif Yes..

rolfl

result is reused

But it's a lousy name.....

nhgrif

What is e? And ek?

rolfl

more badly named variables ;-) .... you have to look at things in the context of the full code.

user 2745681

e is the Linked of Enemy and the ek is the input character..

nhgrif

I wasn't asking.

You need to think about why me, or anyone else looking at your code might ask that.

Consider the situation where you're writing this as part of a group project. You've got a logic error in this section of your code and you're having trouble spotting it. You need someone to help you take a look at it. How much time are you willing to spend explaining what all these variables are and mean?

4

Meanwhile, your IDE probably autocompletes and there's no performance setback for verbose variable names... the variable names aren't even used by the code except to distinguish this variable from that. To the processor, they're all just memory locations.

user 2745681

3:03 AM

I'm sorry, I'm a beginner only..

syb0rg

@user2745681 We know. That is why we are critiquing you. We only mean to make you better.

nhgrif

Right. I wasn't trying to insult. Generally speaking, on CodeReview, if I ask a question like that, it means you need to think about improving readability.

On SO, I wouldn't ask the question, and decide whether or not I wanted to try figuring out what the variables were. But here, the questions are asked by people who want to improve their code, and one way to improve your code is by making it more readable.

Someone who knows more Java than I can focus on good-practice and performance stuff and what not, but pretty much anyone can comment on readability.

user 2745681

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent inputChar)
{
int key = inputChar.getKeyCode();
char character = Character.toLowerCase(inputChar.getKeyChar());
boolean isInputValid = isValid(key);

//@target is a boolean and a default value of false..
if(isInputValid && !target)
{
for(int i = 0; i < enemyList.size(); i++)
if(enemyList.get(i).getFirstLetter() == character && enemyList.get(i).getOnScreen())
{
enemy = enemyList.get(i);
targetText = enemy.getText();
enemy.addIndex(1);
target = true;
break;
}
}
else if(isInputValid && targetText.charAt(enemy.getIndex()) == character)

nhgrif

That's quite a bit better on the naming.

Yuushi

thanks, Santa

(that was really fast, by the way)

user 2745681

3:14 AM

Sorry for the indention I can't fix it in the chat box..

syb0rg

@user2745681 When you copy large amounts of text into the chat, another button should pop up that says "fixed font". Press that before you "send" next time.

nhgrif

What's the getText() method? I thought Java used toString()? Or is this somehow different from what a toString() method would be?

user 2745681

Okay @syb0rg :)

@nhgrif getText() returns the assign text in a enemy.

syb0rg

@user2745681 Also, if you plan on sticking around this chat room (which I hope you do), you should get a more "personal" avatar. Right now there is another user in this room (Garry) that has a similar avatar.

nhgrif

I think an actual username is more helpful than an avatar.

syb0rg

3:22 AM

That too ^

@user2745681 Keep in mind it will take a bit for the chat to update your name.

syb0rg

3:26 AM

@user2745681 It will in a bit.

user 2745681

Haha :)

nhgrif

omg... I think ObjC actually has a way to properly order/sort numbers in strings quite simply

as in... a1.txt < a3.txt < a20.txt < a100.txt

A normal alphabetical search puts that as: a1.txt, a100.txt, a20.txt, a3.txt

syb0rg

You mean like the std::sort of C++?

nhgrif

Maybe, I don't know.

user 2745681

Haha

rolfl

3:36 AM

@syb0rg ... you would have to write a comparator to get that functionality out of C++ std::sort

user 2745681

@nhgrif @syb0rg do you have an I idea now?? Sorry I'm in a rush now >.<

Yuushi

@rolfl It uses operator< by default, which is lexicographic ordering for strings

rolfl

I presume 'quite simply' in ObjC is simpler than that.

nhgrif

Yeah.

Yuushi

actually, technically it uses std::less<T>, which generally just forwards to operator<

rolfl

3:37 AM

@Yuushi exactly.... and he's not sorting lexocographically

He's sorting file100.txt after file2.txt

Yuushi

@rolfl ...that'll teach me to read the actual output :)

whoops

it's 2pm here :P

3:38 AM

(I'm not wrong alll the time when C/C++ is involved ... it just seems like it)

nhgrif

[someString compare:otherString options:NSNumericSearch] returns nsordering constant for appropriate numeric order

Alphabetical first, but it will compare numbers in the way a human would compare them, 100 > 2

so you don't have to use leading zeros

5:07 AM

think our first computer had a CPU that was clocked at about 4MHz...so I'm not quite as old school :P

Jerry Coffin

@Yuushi If it was an early PC, that would be 4.77 MHz...

Yuushi

it was a 286, and probably an early one at that...you're likely right

Jerry Coffin

Though if you want to talk about old school, my tales can get a little uglier than just 1 MHz processors--like toggling the boot code into a PDP-8 on the front-panel switches.

Yuushi

I think I was born about 20 years too late for that :)

Jerry Coffin

@Yuushi I don't remember any 286s slower than 5 MHz. 4.77 MHz was typical for 8088s.

@Yuushi Lucky you! Something that's definitely a lot more fun to remember decades later than to actually do.

Yuushi

5:11 AM

@JerryCoffin Yes, I can imagine actually doing it was not particularly pleasant

Jerry Coffin

@Yuushi I guess I can't honestly complain about it much--I was doing it purely for fun at the time. At the time, it was one of the (very) few ways of producing graphical output though. The school did have a couple of Tektronix storage tube graphics terminals, but they were a pain to program. There was also an ancient pen plotter, but you needed special permission to use it.

Yuushi

@JerryCoffin I can see the "fun" part of it honestly...being much, much closer to the hardware, actually knowing it was almost possible to understand what the heck was actually going on, no frameworks and buzzwords...simpler times :)

Jerry Coffin

@Yuushi Sort of, but (oddly) you couldn't get very close to the hardware. It didn't have a real OS. It just ran a rather strange, integer-only version of BASIC (no other choices available).

Malachi

@JerryCoffin when you don't have the money to spend on it those are the ways that are apparent, the other things could probably be compensated for by coding them in?

I agree with you, I have to relearn how to create "Master Page" functionality every time I go back to coding in PHP and it is never pretty.

my next thing is learning how to code more fluently in PHP so that I can create some good pages with it, and then learn more Javascript so that I can do more with websites.

Jerry Coffin

@Malachi Point is, while PHP is free to download, using it is expensive (I.e., it takes a lot of time and effort to produce decent results with it). There are also quite a few alternatives that are equally free to download, but with (at worst) a lot less penalty in use.

Unfortunately, I don't think I would be able to comment on your code :/ I don't have a better solution in mind at the moment.

skiwi

:p ok

Simon André Forsberg

But perhaps someone else would, or someone else would research stuff to learn it, or you can post a selfie if you come up with a better solution yourself :)

skiwi

A selfie with a real selfie embedded?

To be clear: A selfie of the code (on the screen) of course, not of me...

Not sure what the embedded "real selfie" is but... yeah :P

Yay, Hibernate works. Cleaning projects FTW

skiwi

always clean

didn't they teach you that?

Simon André Forsberg

Nope, no one has taught me that actually. I have taught myself that.

Or, well... I don't always clean, but... often.

skiwi

:p

I also think making some build path changes in a required project helped.

Now let's see if I can restore the PostgreSQL database with pg_restore.exe...

so far it's been two minutes and nothing has happened yet...

skiwi

Changing build files is tricky

Unrelated but

I once had a circular dependency in two of my projects, where I had a main project that got code generated into it, and the code generator had a dependency on that project. So I made an error in the code generator, which resulted in a syntax error in the main project, but I couldn't solve it because the dependency of the code generator was broken...

Haha, it's like getting a critical error when you use a compiler to compile its own sources.

@skiwi Good one. But I am suspicious... what did the code generator do? Would it have been possible to rewrite the code somehow which would cause the code generator to not be needed?

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg Not trivially, I decided that learning Hibernate or something similar was too difficult, so I wrote my own simple system, that ended up more complicated

In contrary, the dependency on the main project was not neccessary and I could cut that one

busy, busy, break soon, then maybe CR question :p

while(busy()){
     doStuff();
}
CRQuestion();

rolfl

You need an outer-loop

while(awake()) {
     ....
}

Vogel612

@rolfl implying this loop is already written ...

snippeting away implied parts..

but then i'd have to change:

while(busy()){
    if(hungry())
        eat(allAvailableFood);
    else if (thirsty())
        drink(Drinks.WATER);
    else if (tired())
        if(DAY.contains(currentTime()))
            drink(Drinks.COFFEE);
    else
        doStuff();
}
checkMail();
checkFacebook();
CRQuestion();

Simon André Forsberg

I've always wondered what the "source code of life" would look like... I think you're coming close... or not...

Vogel612

surely not..

i'm missing on exceptional situations, holiday, unavailableFood, Retirement, Schooltime [...]

but it would probably make a nice weekend-challenge

but probably then nobodys-code-is-compiling

morning/afternoon for @rolfl aswell

if (random.nextInt(1000) == 0) {
    someRandomEventHappens();
    if (true) {
        dealWithIt();
    }
}

no code block? :(

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi Use the "fixed font" button

that appears
when you
write multiple lines

skiwi

fixed it!

amon

@skiwi Seriously, "if (true)"? – that's almost as great as an "if (foo == true) return true"

skiwi

I was working on my nice activity diagram...

@amon It's to mimic the fact that you think that you have a choice, while in fact you always will need to deal with it.

amon

ooh, I see

skiwi

wow, that random philosophic rambling really convinced someone :)

Q: Make LinkedList in c++ more clean

I have been working on a linked list for some while now and started out with this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22141477/simple-linked-list-c I was then refered to this site, if I had any questions about my code, so here it comes! Is my code clean? Or is there some way to make it better a...
