Q: Computing the minimum number of swaps necessary to sort an array

Matteo NNZProblem statement I have the following problem statement: You are given an unordered array consisting of consecutive integers [1, 2, 3, ..., n] without any duplicates. You are allowed to swap any two elements. You need to find the minimum number of swaps required to sort the array in ascending or...

Q: Hangman Bot built with performance in mind

TajyManyI'm working on a bot that can use a wordlist to play hangman optimally as fast as possible. With the current implementation, the simulateGame function, which plays a whole game against the bot, takes ~500-700 microseconds to execute for the words I've tested, like "fatherhood", "esoteric", "joyou...

@CaptainObvious Nooo not another question, hopefully it gets roombaed ;_;
 
@Peilonrayz Closed and at -3, probably eventually.
 
@Mast Yeah, no answer either. It'll just make my custom filters even more icky for a couple months :(
Hmm, after @SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ pointed out that a question with just a title change didn't get put in the queue I'm tempted to test if tag only edits put it in the queue. If so I could clean up the stragglers safely

@Peilonrayz Worth a shot.
Let us know how it turns out.
 
@Mast Yeah, I wont test it until later so we can easily fix it if it goes pearshaped

@CaptainObvious RBA.
 
Good, not much we could do for him.
 
They should have started with Donald Knuth's algorithm.
 
Tests wouldn't have hurt to show their current one isn't working.
1896? Yes. 1897? No. 1898? No. 1899? No. 1900? Still no.
2000? Yes.
With those 6 tests, you catch a lot of errors already.
It's a one-liner in Python.
 
You're correct rather than posting on CR, they should have used testing.
 
12:52 PM
@Peilonrayz Hehehehe glad I could help (unintentionally).
 
@pacmaninbw The one I've found that's attributed to Knuth looks a lot more convoluted than what I usually come up with.
Do you happen to have a copy and is it worth a read (Art of Computer Programming)?
I'm not sure it's still worth it in 2020 unless you're interested in very-high performance.
 
@DerKommissar One of the nice things about CR seeing someone do something you've never seen before and them bam, now you are playing with black magic ;)

Anyway, even reading Wikipedia would've solved their problem.
Length doesn't come into it.
Wiki says:
> if (year is not divisible by 4) then (it is a common year)
else if (year is not divisible by 100) then (it is a leap year)
else if (year is not divisible by 400) then (it is a common year)
else (it is a leap year)
Which apparently is faster than what I used usually, because it looks for leap years while I try to exclude leap years.
while True:
    try:
        year = int(input()) # "Please enter a year: "
    except ValueError:
        print("Not a valid integer.")
        break
    else:
        if not year%100:
            if not year%400:
                print(year, "leap year")
            else:
                print(year, "NOT leap year")
        elif not year%4:
            print(year, "leap year")
        else:
            print(year, "NOT leap year")
 
@Mast I thought it was a one liner in ever language bool((year % 4 == 0) - (year % 100 == 0) + (year % 400 == 0))

@Peilonrayz Probably.
I think I was trying to say what OP had posted was not only not working, it was overly lengthy.
Looking at it again, it's even worse than I remember.
The code makes very little sense.
 
@Mast Well it is JavaScript ;) In all seriousness tho they should really post here, they'd probably learn a thing or two

@Mast I have 3 of the 4 books he published, I bought them when I was still in the University. I use them more as a reference than reading all the way through them. The software I wrote for the first 15 years of my career was performance critical. My code wasn't always pretty. Compilers were not optimizing compilers back in the 80's and 90's and you could write tighter code than they could.

"easier" and "more straightforward" are matters of opinion, you might get more help if you can be more specific what you mean. Alternatively it's possible that code review stack exchange might be more able to help, though I'm less familiar with what questions are on-topic there so you'd need to check their help pages. — Tim 10 secs ago

Q: Converting a stateless object to a stateful one

Ardent Java LearnerI have a piece of code that I wrote and I got a review comment... It's a little difficult to get help from my team so I am seeking your help (It can be quite frustrating when you don't really know what to do or what it means, I love to learn but I can't really seem to do it without any assistance...

 
@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ Can you clarify this?
okay - I have added a demo with some benchmarking to illustrate that the suggestions lead to lower average executions times for the draw() method - maybe not initially but eventually it becomes true. — Sᴀᴍ Onᴇᴌᴀ 22 hours ago
Leaving it on for a couple of minutes clearly shows what you mean, but it's not clear from the comment itself.
If you really want to drive it home, plot it for a few million draws.
Difference is 5-6 percent eventually, might continue to go down but seems to flatten a bit.
6.5% now.

Q: Using back-slash on # (Python)

Prabhav Agrawal\#variable1 = "Hello" print(\#variable1) trying to store in #variable1 just to know that why won't it work \\variable2 = "Hi!" print(\\variable2) trying to store in #variable2 just to know that why won't it work

 
@Mast okay - I haven't found a good tool for that yet... I did consider adding a chart e.g. with something like chartsJS and vueJS
 
@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ Just store the ms values every iteration and plot it using whatever.
Excel for all we care.
A dead plot is better than no plot. It doesn't have to graph live with the rest of the picture, although that would be even more magnificent of-course.
Could influence the results a bit though, doing it live.
I'd do the dead one.

8:48 PM
@Mast okay live and dead added
 
Heh, looks like it did indeed affect the performance.
Both are scoring slightly worse now.
 
hmm... I typically see the modified under 5 ms
 
I had both under 1.3, now they're under 1.4
Not quite sure what's going on here, but looks interesting.
The plotting may have killed the benefit of your simplified function I'm afraid.
 
@Mast I disagree. It doesn't belong here. If posted at code review, they can decide what the quality of the question is and vote on it there. — Scott Marcus 48 secs ago

@Duga @Mast you could have stated that you don't disagree that it shouldn't be there (i.e. on SO), given SM said "I disagree..."
 
 
@Mast what browser are you using?
 
Latest FF.
The average time did go down with the previous iteration, so again, I'm afraid the live statistics screwed up the benefit.
@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ SO's scope is their problem. I have no opinion on that.
It's the redirecting crap towards us that has me worried.
I honestly couldn't care less what they do with that poor-quality question as long as it doesn't end up here.
 
I might switch to a different chart library....

@Mast Thanks for giving me permission that you have no authority to give. One of the reasons to close a question here on SO is that it doesn't belong here and CR is where a question about DRY belongs. So how about you do your thing and leave me out of it?! — Scott Marcus 34 secs ago
