NOTE: In case someone is tempted to consider this either a "code review" question or a "matter of opinion": I'm not asking for "better" code; I'm asking whether c# has any syntax that simultaneously keeps both the declaration and the usage simple, in this given situation.

Probably belongs on codereview, not stack overflow. Some minor points to help... Use a queue instead of recursion. The queue can be held as a plain array and you maintain a head and tail pointer or index. Avoid the use of 2D indices. Multiplication is a cost. You can store the position as just a pointer or a 1D index, and use offsets from there (-W, -1, 1, W). Consider some branchless code for both counting and queuing, then measure it. e.g. int *n = p-W; count += (*n==0); *tail = n; tail += (*n == *p); -- where p points to the current stone having its neighbours tested. — paddy just now
My first sentence is in regards to the purpose of Stack Overflow versus the purpose of Code Review. This website leans toward code that doesn't work correctly, whereas Code Review leans toward seeking feedback/improvements. — paddy 59 secs ago

@paddy: questions asking for new code, especially a SIMD-optimized version of a scalar problem, belong on Stack Overflow, definitely not codereview. Such questions should have working scalar code as an example of what's wanted, as well as English description that makes it clear which behaviours of the scalar code are necessary and which are implementation details. (i.e. what assumptions a SIMD implementation could make.) This question doesn't want comments on the coding-style, efficiency, or other quality of its scalar example; the OP knows it has big problems, so it's not a code review. — Peter Cordes 38 secs ago
A note on the "assignment operator" (a.k.a. walrus operator, because...: look at it := ) of PEP 572: it's somewhat controversial and some teams might flag those in a code review. — Gregor just now

Q: Returning all multiples of a number as a matrix with N X 2 dimensions

Dollar XI have developed a class structure with methods to return a matrix from a single input array. The objective is to insert the middle value of the array so 2n remains in terms of array length.

@Reinderien Never took an embedded course before the end of March. I learned C programming in my operating systems class in 1983. Started using it professionally in 1984. I learned hardware programming on the job around 1990, but it wasn't considered "embedded" at the time, I might disagree with that.

The systems I worked on in the 80s have very limited memory compared to today's systems. malloc() could actually fail.

@pacmaninbw Sooooo. Aside from the comments in the other answers rightfully pointing out that in production this would all already exist for you, and assuming that your prof is making you write it yourself: it depends on how much effort you want to put into this. In addition to (not instead of) your hex definitions for CLOCK_CTRLE_OFFSET etc., you could define bitfield structs for each of the registers you care about. This is what PIC headers do, and it's handy.

EESE is a very different place from CRSE - a little bit more grumpiness, a lot more volume, but some very knowledgeable people (it will be difficult to avoid Tony)
@pacmaninbw you should split this into "controller support" and "board support", which you currently have mixed. Also, and this is a common downfall of C macros, everything is missing types and usually the implicit types are wrong. Those addresses should be pointers; and the bitfields should be marked as uint8_t or uint16_t as appropriate

I don't know if you ever programmed on Sun Microsystems, but their OS version 1.2 occasionally rebooted when you were in the debugger. The stack pointer got corrupted.

Teradyne used them for at least 17 years on their test equipment. Some time in the 2000s they went to Windows, but there was a big fight in engineering about it.
Had to switch bus types among other things, and Windows doesn't have the best real time systems.

@Fmxerz as for the design, you may have your reasons of course. But what I mean is that it's very weird, from a theoretical point of view, to have the parent class being aware of its child.
