im coding c for the first time in a while for a class and its p cool that you get to be so explicit with ur bits and stuff but hoooo boy its a pain in the rear end to do stuff that would take 5 seconds in python

I started putting in a bunch of #define things to all the boilerplate stuff like for loops and traversing linked lists and then I realized I'm basically re-inventing lovely python

if youre going to do that you might as well use something like cello and just go crazy with type classes.

a c preprocessor with additional syntax for type classes would be p cool, actually.

c thread s: implemented some simple boost::threading in my thing. compiles but needs testing. gently caress thread pools, i keep track of my threads in a vector and throw out used ones when they're done. when each thread will be running for at least ten minutes of 100% cpu work i don't care about whatever that overhead might be.

now i have to think about how i get my program output out of these threads

gently caress

do you not have a c++11 enabled compiler or what

just split up your work, push back async calls to your work into a vector of futures, then wait on every future.

heres the basic outline of your code if you would just stop being ridiculous and use c++11

code:


vector<future<result>> results;

for (some iterable that splits up work)
{
	results.push_back(async([=] { code for a particular thread to run; }));
}

for ( auto&& r : results) r.wait() // so i can make sure all of my tasks have completed

// do stuff with results

if you can't define the function swap so that the assert passes, your language does not have pass by reference

You can write a swap for non-primitives in java

nope you can't

the references you change will only be your local ones, because java is always pass by value at all times.

c# permits pass by name ("out" parameters), but java does not

are you telling me that this mostly java

code:


class MyClass
{
	public int x;
}

void swap(MyClass a, MyClass b)
{
	int tmp = a.x;
	a.x = b.x;
	b.x = tmp;
}

doesn't swap the contents of a and b

this x1000

[object pleaseDoAThingWith:[SomeClass objectWithFile:filename]];

I always chuckle when C++ programmers complain about objective C's use of square brackets while C++ code looks like someone just randomly mashed the angle bracket, colon, and underscore keys on their keyboard.

presumably this is a 20 year old argument but 'char* file_name' seems to make so much more sense than anything else to me. you have the type (pointer to char) and then the name. then you have stuff like 'int *p1, *p2' as opposed to 'int* p1, p2' as it should be imo. being a pointer is a property of the type, not the name!

but then, as established, i am a terrible and novice c programmer

that's because js is a poo poo language where you implicitly take references to local mutable values and the only way to construct copies is through function scoping like a goddamn dog.

a guy asks for a algorithm book and cormen doesn't even get brought up?

also, I got asked this question at two different shops: Find the intersection between two strings (in C). What is its runtime? If I gave an O(n) solution, they would ask me to give a O(n^2) solution, if I gave an O(n^2) solution they asked me to do it in O(n). hth

you mean where the prefix of one is the suffix of the other? or like can a string be a substring of another.

ah yes, that was a bit vague

it was find the set of characters found in string 1 and in string 2. return it! (exclamation was my emphasis)

are you talking longest common subsequence or are actually the set of characters.

the set, not longest common subsequence. its not a hard problem. can you find longest common subsequence in O(n)?

no which is what had me confused.

you can find it in n^2 with extra space

so i want to write some sort of image filter thing to make images look like the original gameboy screen which had a weird 2 bit monochrome swamp green display
the trouble being i#ve no idea how to start going about this

like, i think i can convert an image to 2 bit monochrome easy enough its just the weird green colour thats im not sure about
also the gameboy has small gaps between its pixels i dont even know how to go about doing, a graphics shader maybe?

for 2 bit monochrome, you want to threshold on pixel color.

for spacing, you probably first want to down sample the image then set like every nth row and column of pixels to off, or you could space everything out.

i have to imagine every time i run across a test on a model which goes

code:

assertNull(model.getThing());
model.setThing(aThing);
assertEquals(aThing, model.getThing());

that intelliclipse auto-generated this because serious man what a waste of loving space.

you should ideally structure your code so that the IO bits can be tested against real services and then the rest can retrieve mocked data. MYSPB (Make Your poo poo Pure Brah).
