Hosch250

Hmm, never heard of it.

sᴉɔuɐɹɥԀ

Scroll to inter-shred communication

So, generally; if I'm passing some data to a public class, into static vars, into a static function... is that OK?

Given I may have any number of calls to that class & function, at any given time, and they need to be independent of each other

Hm. I think I might need to look into pre-constructors. What a clunky language.

The Superest FizzBuzz Written.

Hosch250

You have to let the user enter names and specify which number the name belongs to.

Legato

^

User can keep designating "buzz" words, up to 9, ofc and assign them a number

and we see lulz?

Hosch250

If I'm asked to write FizzBuzz for an interview, I'm going to ask them which language.

I can do it in C#, C++, Python, JS without looking anything up.

Legato

In C♭ !

Hosch250

01:23

I can do it in LOLCODE and VB.NET if I have access to a browser to look up how to loop and a couple other things.

Oh, add C to the top list.

Jeroen Vannevel

I'd be more interested in some sort of month-long hackaton where everyone uses a language unfamiliar to them and preferably less common, to showcase a small example application with it

Legato

I think it's simple enough that I could probably do it in any language if I could look up how to loop. haha

@JeroenVannevel Be pragmatic. Lives, etc.

Jeroen Vannevel

I'm not saying it's a constant hackaton

Legato

If the weekend challenge was to do the fizzbuzz you choose that we just talked about with the catch that you had to learn a language you don't use and implement it there, then I'd do that.

Jeroen Vannevel

just the general concept

@Legato I'm hear.

Legato

Oh hi.

Hosch250

Hi.

Legato

I had an implementation question.

Hosch250

Bout what?

Legato

Basically, I have a Q and A type game in mind, and was wondering how best to make sure that a question that's already used is never used again. Thing is though I want to take all the questions from a file and do it randomly.

Hosch250

03:49

Hold on, playing chess.

Mehrad

flag them

Hosch250

OK.

There are a few possibilities here.

One is to load them into an array/list and choose an index. Once you use an index, you can remove the value from the array.

That might be someone computationally expensive, with removing items left and right.

Legato

My initial idea was to put questions in a text file, retrieve in a set, then shuffle set and iterate from there. The issue is that would only work once. The limitation I want to overcome is being able to have different questions even if the program is run again.

Hosch250

Probably not anything to worry about, but we can do better.

We can have a boolean array matching the question array, and mark values used. We then generate a semi-random value based on the number of questions left, and display the question there.

Again, it seems we should be able to do better, but this is probably my limit.

Seeing that you will have to load the data from the file anyway, I would probably do it just once at the beginning.

Thank you guys.

Hosch250

How goes it, @Donald.McLean?

Donald.McLean

@Hosch250 All is quiet. Working on an assignment for a course.

Hosch250

I should be - I finish in about 2 weeks.

Donald.McLean

We're in week 2. I think this is a 7 week course.

Hosch250

I hate college.

Donald.McLean

04:08

This isn't college. It's a class to expand my knowledge and skills.

Hosch250

I hate coping with the stress of worrying about finishing assignments on time, and doing them well, around the clock.

I see.

Donald.McLean

When I went to college I was working full time and had 3 kids.

Hosch250

OUCH.

I'm a full-time student, but I've only not gotten a 4.0 on one class.

I don't get to pick my classes either.

Donald.McLean

Being an adult college student is a very different experience. You're more motivated, but less inclined to put up with stupid crap. I never took a class unless I thought it sounded interesting.

Hosch250

So far, I've had mostly 1xxx and 2xxx classes too, I've only taken 3 3xxx classes.

I wonder how it will go next semester...

@Donald.McLean Well, I am in between.

I am an adult, online student.

I had about 5 courses to pick from, and they were all laid out about 100% based on the limited selection of online classes.

Donald.McLean

04:12

The internet barely existed when I started. It was pretty primitive by the time I finished, and there weren't any online classes.

Hosch250

I was taking a test today, and the server wasn't responding.

Wasted at least 7 minutes.

It would be nice to just have everything on paper, the good old way...

Donald.McLean

@Hosch250 That makes sense. I knew which classes I was going to take, but picking which classes to take in any given semester was constrained by availability.

Hosch250

Yeah, the best part is that I'm in the off-year.

The course was laid out like you were going to start in an even year (or maybe it was odd, you get the idea), and I started in an odd year.

So, we had to redo the entire schedule...

BTW, I suppose you know what an Information Technology Management guy does?

Donald.McLean

In theory, it would be someone who manages developers and sysadmins.

Hosch250

I still don't know what I'll be able to do, and I don't really care. I hope to get into the development world, but I'm not sure I can given my degree.

Thanks.

Donald.McLean

04:17

Every company is looking for something different. What area do you live in?

Hosch250

Minnesota.

I have to take an internship next summer, and I suspect it will be with Medtronic or some medical company.

Donald.McLean

Ahh. I have no idea what the IT job market looks like up there in the frozen north.

Hosch250

I took Calc in HS, but I can't take it in college because it is not offered online.

I want to get an internship writing Universal apps for MS, but having taken Calc is a prereq.

Donald.McLean

Hmmm. Bummer.

Hosch250

My parents did offer for me to take it from the local Twin Cities campus this summer, which I might do.

I think I can do this now that I've completed half my classes (well, in two weeks), but I'm not sure.

Donald.McLean

04:20

Are you limited to whatever the one college is offering, or can you take online classes from other schools?

Hosch250

I am part of the U of MN network.

Once I get a certain number of classes from the campus I'm getting my degree from, I can take others from other campuses.

Donald.McLean

That should help.

What are you taking at the moment?

Hosch250

Accounting II, 2012

Multimedia Applications, CA 1030 (for my communications minor).

Intro to Management Information Systems, ITM 3020

Principles of Management, MGMT 3200

Intro to Philosophy, PHIL 1001

This is the end of my sophomore year.

After this, I just have 2 generals left, but I won't be taking them until my senior year due to limited offerings, I believe.

Donald.McLean

The only thing that sounds interesting is CA 1030.

Hosch250

Yeah, it is cool.

I learned Adobe PS Elements, Adobe Premiere Elements, Google Sketchup, and PowerPoint.

Donald.McLean

04:26

But then, everybody has their own thing.

Hosch250

ACCT is interesting, but I'm exhausted and struggling at the moment.

ITM is tough - I've never heard of ERP and CRM and SCM before, and the book is awful.

MGMT is a great class, but I am no way a manager type.

PHIL I originally didn't care for, but it has proven to be interesting - especially how most of it is very historical.

Donald.McLean

I've heard of ERP and CRM but not SCM. Never used any of them though - never worked anywhere that would use something like that.

Hosch250

I love history and analyzing things - especially battles in hindsight.

Supply Chain Management.

Donald.McLean

I think I would have to kill myself if they tried to make me a manager.

Right. Never used that either.

Hosch250

Well, at least it couldn't be any worse than doing college and living with my family.

If I don't die of a heartattack by the time I graduate, I'll be like the Wandering Jew and have to live forever.

Donald.McLean

04:30

I guess the fact that I have a job someplace really geeky affects my outlook on work.

Hosch250

I am an introvert - really an introvert - and most of my family are extroverts, or only mild introverts.

They not uncommonly, but not too regularly either, ask me what is wrong, or tell me I have socialization problems...

Sorry for griping down your ear (or rather across your screen).

Donald.McLean

I'm a true introvert, in that I prefer and am most comfortable by myself or small groups of people I know well. However, I have become a brave introvert in that I can talk to strangers or deal with parties or other social situations.

Hosch250

Yeah, I guess I will just have to train myself.

Donald.McLean

It's no problem. I'm good at being a friendly ear.

Hosch250

I guess it helps you be a good mod.

Donald.McLean

04:33

I have the classic "programmer" Meyers-Briggs profile.

Hosch250

I have the programmer/engineers too - the 1% INTJ or whatever.

Donald.McLean

Bingo.

Hosch250

I guess we are the privileged :)

The privileged few who will rule the world, JK.

Donald.McLean

We don't rule the world, we just build it.

Hosch250

Build it so someone else can rule it.

OK.

Donald.McLean

04:36

I wouldn't want to rule the world. It's a screwed up place.

Hosch250

Let's go rule Mars.

It hasn't gotten screwed up yet.

Donald.McLean

I wonder who's lurking and keeps starring your comments?

heh, @chillworld stackoverflow.com/questions/28654304/…

rolfl

Monking all

nhgrif

All right, @rolfl at this point, I'm confused by this guys posts...

Is this an answer, or an extension of the question? — nhgrif 24 secs ago

Pimgd

I don't understand that question anyway

skipped it in review

nhgrif

I wasn't completely sure I understood the question either.

But, I was leaning toward it being okay.

Pimgd

My attitude towards it probably isn't but I dunno

But now his answer doesn't seem to answer the question and instead seems to be the extension of the question... and seems to clarify the question into "How do I determine if an object has a specific type (or is a subclass of that type)?" which is a Stack Overflow question.

Pimgd

"Seems okay, users seem happy, and even if it's crap, it's objc anyway - not a tag in which I'd read questions"

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not a request for a code review. This is a specific programming question about how to restric tht types of parameters that yu can pass in to a method, or, alternatively, it is a question about understanding how the language itself works. — rolfl ♦ 21 secs ago

Pimgd

Here, now you can blame rolfl if you disagree

rolfl

His code is all just a lead in to his question.

nhgrif

Martin had voted to close it as well

And he knows Swift better than I do.

But he may have voted for this:

I could not reproduce your problem with restricting the type of frontmost() to <T: NSWindow>, it seems to work as expected. But I have done much more iOS than OS X development recently, so perhaps I made some stupid error. Would it be possible that you share a small sample project demonstrating the problem? — Martin R 16 hours ago

But then again, any "I could not reproduce your problem" comment on any Code Review question will probably tend to indicate off-topic...

all right... going to work... in the rain..

I have a god object

I thought I was past making messes like this

Meh, I have been the victim of a chamaeleon question, and I am irritated by an accusational comment.

I should stay away from mod duties today..... or, at least until I have dinner and wine...

Pimgd

Are you sure?

Don't drink and ~~drive~~ mod

@rolfl as pragmatic programmer why are you encouraging to use null as return? I think null should be avoided and Null Object pattern used instead, or throw exception as Xin is doing correctly. Next using this as object is far more better than static method. Static methods are hard to extend, object can be extended for example with decorator pattern. More on this can be found here yegor256.com/2015/02/26/composable-decorators.html, but I agree with the bracing of oneliners — Zavael 2 hours ago

That makes me.... frustrated.^^^

the only reason Xin is doing it "correctly" is because he edited his question after I answered it.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this question belongs on another site in the Stack Exchange network - CodeReview — Paulie_D 43 secs ago

Pimgd

@rolfl ... but he declared axioms

rather than changing the code

And rather clear too

Duga

You're asking about improving code. That's an subject for CodeReview...but that's just my opinion. — Paulie_D 30 secs ago

Q: java linked list to binary tree

I would like you to use a variant of the linked list to create a binary tree. The user should be able to define how many levels they want to tree to have and enter the data into the tree. You should then implement a search function for the tree. The tree must stay ordered, i.e. a-m on the left...

I like it when other people start having a discussion below one of my answers and I learn new things from it

bonus if I'm not even wrong, or, even weirder, correct, but for different reasons

(is that correct comma usage?)

Today I have to wrap up my code for release to production (as in having a factory produce devices with the code on them). ... but I haven't been able to test it in acceptance yet

this is gonna get fun
