No. I quit drinking.
So /dpt/ I've been tweaking a script posted on /g/ to suit my needs but now I'm stuck since I don't know how to program#!/bin/bash
read -p "Input: " password
md5_PASS=$(echo -n salt)$(echo -n $password | md5sum)
EXAMPLE_PASS=$(echo -n $md5_PASS | md5sum)
PASSWORD=$(echo -n $EXAMPLE_PASS | md5sum)
read -p "your password will be outputed in this terminal window: " -n1 -s
echo Your password is $PASSWORD
Thats the code but I want to be asked for the salt rather than having to edit the salt in the .sh file I'd also like it to split every 8 chars
example
>please input salt:
salt
>please input text:
text
your password is

>>52262490
no. It means the type of the variable is figured out automatically by the compiler.
>>52262490
No, it's type inference. One use is to save you from having to write shit like:SuperLongName<Foo<Bar>> x = new SuperLongName<Foo<Bar>>();
Instead you just write:auto x = new SuperLongName<Foo<Bar>>();
The type of "x" is still "SuperLongName<Foo<Bar>>".

>>52262509
yeah, basically the same idea. I was just writing ugly code lol. only issue is that the lexer requires field names to be lowercase (although past the lexing stage nothing gives a fuck) so I can't do row.Date or row.Open (which is a problem cause open is a keyword and there's no keyword/space escape for identifiers). the big pattern matches against the whole record were just there for an earlier test I was doing but I could just write it the same way as yours.

The point of the original program was to check if any other numbers were like 6210001000, breaking after finding that 6210001000 is like 6210001000 defeats the purpose of making the program.

Direct ocaml port (not turned into functional code, which should be faster).
It takes exactly as long as the cpp program compiled with -O0, and around twice as long when compiled with any of -O1 through -O3. Didn't play with ocaml's optimization flags, though; and that's excluding the time taken for the ocaml machinery to load (which is around 4x as long as the program actually runs).
What can you faggot tell me about this?
>>52262841
Whoops, I was going off the video the original Python user posted and thought we just had to find the first 10-digit self-describing number.
why would you use class?
it's logical to have public methods in top part(and everybody does it) so in class you need public: and then private:
i just use struct and have one less line to write. class is fucking stupid(plus class inheritance assess modifiers are a retarded feature and i also don't need to write them).
>>52262884
Literally a scam.
>>52262884
it's a scam
>>52262900
I laughed!
>>52262884
It's a scam, you pay $300 for a useless certificate.
>>52262900
Because C++ is retarded and didn't make struct only allow POD definitions.
>>52262933
and you want pods marked... why?
>>52262967
Because he's plain in the head :^)
>>52262900
Object oriented programming is all about self-contained objects that communicate using messages. One object is not supposed to access the private data of another class.
>>52262967
Why not? POD means you can safely do neat things, like memcpy them, or free their memory without calling a destructor.
>>52262981
bullshit, why would you add overhead to parent methods?
unless you're making modular system with builtin inheritance instead of composition(in which case you should shoot yourself in the head)
>>52262927
>>52262905
>>52262902
How do you know this? And what will employers think of it?
>>52262989
1. bad practice
2. you need special keyword for essentially an optimization?
>>52263026
they'll think that you got scammed
>>52263052
The optimization can be done regardless. The "struct" keyword would make sure that I know if I (or more importantly, someone else) changed something to make it non-POD, thus introducing bugs.
>>52263026
>"this idiot advertises the fact that he fell for an obvious scam"
>>52263026
I really hope you didn't pay $300 for a useless certificate, anon.
>>52262624
Err... that would imply that C++ is executing in 8 seconds. With maximum optimizations, I can get Rust to do it in 2m39s and C to do it in 3m34s, using a naive brute force checking the numbers between 1,000,000,000 and 7,000,000,000, on a Haswell Core i5. Unless you're using an algorithmic advantage or abusing constant expressions (in which case very funny, but the increased time spent compiling should count against you), you should not be getting such low numbers.
>>52263022
This is how object oriented programming is supposed to work. Object oriented programming is supposed to help in program decomposition and re-usability through object composition, inheritance and polymorphism. Breaking the rules of OOP means that you threaten the assumptions under how OOP works. If you're not interested in the rules, it's best not do object oriented programming.
>>52263133
The difference is I'm not iterating through 1000000000->7000000000#include <iostream>

>>52262900
>public: and then private:
I do it the other way around, and I don't label the private members. So for example:class foo {
int x;
public:
void do_something_to_x();
};
I use struct when and only when all members are expected to be public.
>>52263117
Haven't taken it yet nigger
>>52263131
Is it really useless? I mean it serves as proof that I know how to program,
>>52263195
Then the advantage is not that you are using C++, but that you are using a different algorithm to solve it.
>>52263218
Fair enough. I might try to implement his algorithm though c++ to see how long it takes.
>>52263215
They're give you programming exercises to do.
>>52263195
Also, why are you regularly using push_back and clear on a vector? If you know you're just going to be using 10 elements, why not simply use an array?
>>52263275
To be fair it won't make a difference, since once the vector has had 10 elements, it will have the performance characteristics of an array anyways
Should initialize it to have a capacity of 10, though

I'm literally retarded. I can't seem to get this method to ever equal the maxFireRate param/**
* Returns an random double representing the guns fire rate ranging between minFireRate and maxFireRate.
*/
public double gunFireRate( int minFireRate, int maxFireRate ){
return minFireRate + (double)rng.nextInt(maxFireRate - minFireRate) + rng.nextDouble();
}
If say gunFireRate(7,13) was called it would only ever return a double between 7.0-12.9 Can't figure out a way to get both params to be inclusive.
So... in some areas, Rust is managing to outperform C in both space (at least in the generated assembly for a few functions. The runtime does take up slightly more space than C++'s runtime) and execution time for me. Maybe I should spend more time learning it?
any recommendations for a c/c++ static analyzer?
>>52263471

What are people supposed to do about giant git projects?
It seems the more commits a repo has, the longer it takes to git clone and "resolve deltas" which I assume means running through the entire history of the repo and grabbing the most current chunks that appear in the most recent branch?
gcc is over 1.4GB at this point
does git have some kind of consolidate or prune option, or are git repos designed to balloon in size forever?
What happens when mature open source projects become so unwieldy that they take hours to git clone?
What is the best practice to getting the length when writing a function that creates an array in C?

Thoughts on a programming language I'm considering making?
Instead of functions, the language relies on what I call "processes", which are very similar.
Processes primarily take Data as an input and produce data as output.DATA -> PROCESS -> DATA
A program consists of a list of processes to sequentially run data through.//the "succ" process adds 1 to the input, the "double" process multiplies by 2
//program:
succ double succ
//input: 1 output: 5
There is a data called unit that is denoted "." and doesn't do very much (but is essential for the type system)
Processes denoted by integer literals take unit as an input and produce that integer as an output//program:
1
// input: . output: 1
// program:
5 double succ
// input: . output: 11
Processes can also take additional process as Arguments.// the add(p) takes an input 'n', evaluates the process 'p' (using . as input) with output 'm', and outputs 'n + m'
// that sounds complicated but it's really intuitive
// program:
1 add(2)
// input: . output: 3
// program:
add(4) add(2)
// input: 3 output: 9
The whole point of all this process madness is lazy evaluated list comprehension.// the process 'to(p)' takes a number 'n' as input and 'm' as the result of p, and returns and list from 'n' to 'm' inclusive
// program:
1 to(5)
// input: . output: [1,2,3,4,5]
// program:
to(10)
// input: 8 output: [8,9,10]
// the process 'map(p)' applies the process 'p' to each element of the input list
// program:
map(add(1))
// input: [1,2,3] output: [2,3,4]
// program:
1 to(3) map(to(4))
// input: . output: [[1,2,3,4], [2,3,4], [3,4]]
There are more implications, including type inference and sort of 'lambda' processes, that I haven't gone into yet

Yes, git repack
Should run that periodically on the hosting server to create slimmer pack files (which is what is sent when yiou git clone and have to be checksummed locally).
Alternatively a basic cp/rsync of the .git folder works too as a 'clone' (but not exactly, have to setup remotes yourself) and then it's just a ormal transfer of the whole 1.4GB of data with no delta compression or checksumming (other than what rsync does).

DMD passes a command to GCC for its linker, to ensure compatibility with object files compiled from C
this is the DMD command I was usingdmd -I~/Documents/D/DSFML/src -L-L~/Documents/D/DSFML/lib -L-L~/Documents/D/DSFMLC/lib -L-ldsfml-graphics -L-ldsfml-window -L-ldsfml-system -L-ldsfmlc-graphics -L-ldsfmlc-window -L-ldsfmlc-system main.d -v
(anything that starts with -L is passed straight to the linker, as you can see from the linker command in the screenshot I posted)
I actually just now created a symlink to each individual library in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ and it apparently compiles but complains about an inability to locate something from DSFMLC so I'm gonna symlink that and try again

>>52265627
wut? I don't love python, but what does this have to do with dynamic typing? It's just a dictionary, key-value pairs.
>>52265648
It's a classic dynamic typing story. We are unable to determine the type at compile time, resulting in confusion.

a dictionary and a hashtable is not the same thing.
Too much pressure on the job.

Too manty personal problems.
>>52266071
what is the difference between a dictionary and a hashtable?
>>52266087
Dictionaries don't offer thread safety
Dictionaries don't let you access variables that aren't there, whereas hashtables will return null instead of an error
>>52266087
a dictionary is just an associative array where the key could be anything.
a hash table is an associative array where the key is a hash.
for example, the dictionary{"a": 1, "b": 2}is not necessary implemented as a hash table but could do the association with a plain comparison of the strings.
What's the best way to manage gamestates in c++? I'm using SFML if context matters. In particular, I'm wondering how is my state manager meant to know when a certain state wants to change state? I'm using a vector to hold all my states so I can pause states and overlay menus, which makes it even more complicated.
I probably need to study how other people do it a bit more desu
>>52266087
Dictionary is an abstract type which maps keys to values, it could be implemented with a hash table, but there are plenty of other options as well like bst, red-black, lists, tries, or just a plain old array.

Hey guys I want to get into programming and I was wondering how to go about it. Came here for a sticky but there isn't one so I'll just ask. My aim is to go into app andsoftware development.
1. Which programming language do I learn first?
2. Which online resource do I learn it from?
I have basic knowledge in c++ and java which I learned in school.
>>52266509
Not if you ever want to write C++ again
you literally won't be able to after you witness first hand how much more elegant D is
one thing
GDC may compile generally (~0-5%) faster executables, but any help you find online will be using DMD, because it's the reference compiler
If you happen to know the GCC toolset inside out and will never need help, use GDC, otherwise don't even consider it
>>52266431
Better start porting the millions of SLOC in the SDK to C++ :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
>>52266510
1. C - if you learn this, you will end up with rudimentary - decent knowledge of almost every major language in commercial use
2. You can pretty much google any problem you need, since it's such a widely used language you'll find help for anything
I find the best way to learn a programming language is to start from hello world and write progressively slightly more complicated things as you go
This order should help you
>Hello World
>String reverser (take an input string, and output its reverse)
>Averager (take two input numbers, and output the average)
>Prime checker (take an input number, and output whether or not it's prime)
>Fibonacci (take an input number n, and output the nth fibonacci number)
>Fibonacci 2 (take an input number n, and output the 1st to nth fibonacci numbers - you should write a non-recursive algorithm for this)
>Prime finder (take an input number, and output all primes lower than that number) - it shouldn't take you more than a minute to do up to 1,000,000. If it does, consider looking up a more efficient algorithm
after this you'll know enough to be able to branch out into what sort of software you want to write
Maybe write a simple pen-and-paper game Tic-Tac-Toe or Bulls and Cows if you're still not 100% sure you're familiar with the language
warning about 1: absolutely do not learn a language with dynamic typing or overly syntactically significant whitespace first (e.g. python, which will not work if you indent 'wrong')
these will probably teach you bad habits and make it harder to move to a statically typed, bracketed language like C, C++ or Java
Riddle me this, when do you save something to a file and when do you cache them in memory?
>>52266885
Save to file: If the data is really large and would eat up way too much memory, and you don't need to have fast access to it. Also for things you want to persist when your application isn't running.
>>52266885
File: permanent store, too large to hold in memory.
>>52266510
Litterally any C-like language that has widespread usage is a good choice to learn. C++, C#, Java etc. It doesn't matter which one. If you are looking to learn object oriented programming, which 90%+ of professional programmers use, you will want to stay away from C itself though.
You can find heaps of tutorials for all these languages online, though I would recommend finding a book (pdf), rather than some shitty youtube video etc. Also, be wary of the vast number of shitty C++ books if you try and learn it.

>>52267007
Thanks man. Is code academy good for learning?
>>52266755
Thank you. I've done all that with java already in 10th so I'll go a bit deeper now into c++
>>52267089
I am doing CS because it ISN'T maths or physics. CS feels like a hobby, I can enjoy learning things. Maths/Physics both crush me though. Maybe I am just dumb, but I don't have any passion for them, so now I just stay away.
>>52267109
I like maths and am pretty good at it. Not so much physics but I did it in high school and can tolerate it. Would probably rather do pure maths than one mixed with physics but computer engineering might help me out more. Will switch if I don't like it.
CS I'll probably keep no matter what. I'm good with algorithms and stuff so I should be pretty good hopefully.
>>52267103
Ehhh I wouldn't bother with code academy. The only "real" languages they offer are Python and Java. I haven't tried their Java one, but their Python is pretty piss poor. Just look online for a respected book on learning the language, and find a .pdf. More indepth than code academy, which if you already program to a basic level is what you need.
Java: A beginner's Guide (written by oracle themselves) is a good overview of the basics of Java
C++ Primer (NOT Primer Plus) has a good reputation for C++
Both these are 10x better than some shitty online interactive tutorial or video. Go download VS2015 community or Intellij IDEA, and just start working through the topics.
>>52266510
>1. Which programming language do I learn first?
i have a preference for scheme but having a good tutorial is more important than the language (except C, avoid C at any cost).

I like that but I don't like how you still need to use " to enclose the imports.const (
delay = 250
balls = 5
)
I like that you can define multiple consts too but what type are they?type player struct {
name string
in chan int
out chan bool
}
>type
Why the fuck does this shit use { instead of ( like defining imports and consts?
>in chan int
Are there members in and chan that are type int or is there member in that is type chan int?
Fucking retarded language.

>I like that but I don't like how you still need to use " to enclose the imports.
Trueish, though some IDE's might shit themselves if you don't make it strings.
>I like that you can define multiple consts too but what type are they?
These consts default to ints. You can also explicitly tell them what they are like so:delay = uint32(250).
>Why the fuck does this shit use { instead of ( like defining imports and consts?
It's a data structure senpai. It's a container of things.
>Are there members in and chan that are type int or is there member in that is type chan int?in chan intis a channel that sends/receives ints.

assuming you're writing an engine or something to that effect (if not you should go to vg/agdg/)
Don't look at anything specifically aimed at game dev without going through general concepts first, it's not going to help you at all to start with
the most important skill you need is the ability to look at a big problem that you can't wrap your head around first, then define it, break it down and figure out each little bit that you need to do before writing a single line of code - you can't really learn this from a book but just think about it while you learn. Make a point out of drawing lots of diagrams before you write your code. They don't have to be a specific format of diagram - you can learn them later, just draw something that you understand
then you need to learn good OOP practice in C++. Find a good book on it and sit down with it for a week. Make sure you get one with exercises, and actually write and compile them yourself (do not skip this or you will learn nothing, I guarantee you)
then you need to get a good book that covers the whole topic of game engine architecture. I recommend 'Game Engine Architecture' by Jason Gregory. It uses C++, and so does 95% of the industry, so it's good to know it
Read it cover to cover and don't think you can skip any of it
You'll hopefully find that a lot of the diagrams you drew tend to resemble the diagrams used in this book and others. They're not like that arbitrarily, and they tend to be the ones most people come up with naturally - they just have a lot of names and details that might put you off at first
if you don't know C++ already I could probably give you some more advice specific to that, if you want
C++ newfriend reporting in.
I'm looking at branch statements and loops now.
I got "if - else" statements and "while" loops, but the "for" loop still eludes me. I got that basically the second clause (conditional) in a for loop is the same as the condition for a while loop, but I don't get what the other two clauses (initialization and increment) are for.
Could someone lend me a hand?
Also I suppose I should postpone bitwise shit until I finally understand binary.
>>52268409
Thanks. C++ is what I'm trying to write games in. And yeah it's mainly engine stuff I was wondering about, basically how to keep everything expandable and modular and clean. I'll definitely have a look at the stuff you said.
>>52268409
Shit it's 11pm on wednesday here so I'm going to go to bed
basically the meat of my C++ advice is
learn it right from the metal, so to speak
learn what your program does with the code you write. Learn what it compiles to. You don't have to learn full assembly but you do have to know how data types (ints, chars, strings, longs, arrays etc) are stored in memory. Structs too. Also learn about the heap and the stack - any good book should cover it so look out for the terms
this will make it so much easier to follow pointers and references, which is about where 90% of new C++ programmers switch off and go to java (bad move)
>>52268424int x = 0;
while( x < 10 )
{
// do a thing
x = x + 1
}for(int x = 0; x < 10; x = x + 1)
{
// do a thing
}
That's it.

Run the following SQL statement in SSMS while connected to your remote database:DELETE FROM scratch

>>52268428
No problem
one last thing to remember after you finish game engine architecture
Don't expect your code to show you gameplay right away, or even soon after you start writing it. Gameplay should be basically the last thing you see. You should learn not to rely on it for affirmation while you're still writing the engine, otherwise you'll end up with one 5% completed engine where you move a character sprite around a blue screen and then give up because everything else seems like an insurmountable slog
Your first project should probably be something super simple, like a platformer with a command line interface and one single hard coded level, then you can expand it by adding level loading from files and a level editor, stuff like that
whatever you do, do not try and write an RPG

Ooooooh. So "for" is basically a more convenient way to write a loop. you set an integer variable (I assume it works with any kind of numeric variable, except maybe float and double, but I still have to go into detail about them), set the condition, then increment the variable.
Got it.
