I've written a program to find the odds of either side winning a battle in Risk, and how many men they would have left. I've finished, but I feel that it can be improved since it doesn't function if the battle gets too big (with "too big" being ridiculously small, to the point of being near-usele...
using namespace std;
Don't do that. You're not really saving much typing, and Risk easily avoidable name collisions. If there's one thing I know of c++, it's that using namespace std is a bad habit to lose.
void a1d1(int attackers,int defenders,Fraction odds);
void a1d2(int attackers,int de...
I am trying to give show a UI friendly dump of the cache status
<h1>Cache Status</h1>

I've always been a little bothered by the fact, that in order to get user input in C++, one had to use up to three lines of code in an ugly manner like the below to get user input for a specific type, with a prompt:
int user_input;
std::cout << ">> ";
std::cin << user_input;
So, in order to ...
I don't know what is the common name for this data structure I named it like this due to a definition in wikipedia that states the following:
In a 'multiply linked list', each node contains two or more link
fields, each field being used to connect the same set of data records
in a differ...
I came across a question at Udacity Intro to Computer Science course:
Define a procedure, find_last, that takes as input two strings, a search string and a target string, and returns the last position in the search string where the target string appears, or -1 if there are no occurrences.

I asked this question first on StackOverflow but I didn't get an answer and was advised to try here too. So here we go.
I have implemented the Kadane's algorithm for a 2D array in Python 2 with known boundaries, but I'm using the implementation for an online contest and the time it takes is more...
Genetic drift — along with natural selection, mutation, and migration — is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution.
In each generation, some individuals may, just by chance, leave behind a few more descendents (and genes, of course!) than other individuals. The genes of the next generati...
I am using universal selector in css
#containerDiv.containerTable tr td *
{
max-width:240px;
}
But visual studio suggests that
"Performance: Never use the universal selector. It has a big negative
impact on browser rendering"
will this have such a big impact? If so how can i overcome t...
Watch my first Question!: System backup on Linux
I've done alot to my script since I asked my first question and I think I could improve alot while doing this. The script still does the same, only a bit neater and cleaner.
So let me explain what I changed, and sometimes why I've changed it.
At ...
To merge the attributes of two xml files I have written the following script. It works perfect but I feel like some improvements could be made especially for the part where the 'looping' is done. This is my first script in Classic ASP so I'm open for every improvement.
msxmlversion = "MSXML2.DOM...
Your ascii_rows almost constitute a font definition. I think there should be a font = something somewhere in the program, and I would prefer that the something involve a list comprehension.
I say almost because you're storing ascii_rows in a rather raw form. As a result, your for character in ...
Misleading Return Type
You have:
template <typename Iterator>
decltype( auto ) divide_work( Iterator begin, Iterator end, std::size_t n )
The difference between auto and decltype(auto) is that the latter can deduce reference types as well. But you're returning a value, always, regardless of I...
There is no reason to wrap this inside a function:
(function(user_config){
if (user_config){
for (var item in default_config){
user_config[item] ? '' : user_config[item] = default_config[item];
}
} else {
user_config = default_config;
}
config ...
