Fuck off, stop posting new threads before the old one actually dies.
Ask your beloved programming literate anything.
>>52611684
Thank you for umaru.
>>52611701
after the bump limit is ok
old discussions can finish off while the old thread still has a bit of life in it and new discussions can start in the new thread
>>52611684
It's not funny anymore, anon.
You're just being insufferable.
>>52611725
No, fuck you.
If the old thread is still on the catalog then you're throwing out what might be a quality thread off the board.
Your shitty attitude at an arbitrary posting limit immediately deprecating the old is exactly what's contributing to the decay of the board.
Look at the OP. You're letting this retarded shit happen.
>>52611762
this only happened because some mod went and deleted the one with the pink haired girl
>>52611701
is there a working version of sleepsort?
I mean
take list, take empty list, put object to according index in empty list
crunch list at the end so you don't have empty indices?
isn't that faster than most algorithms for simple shit?
what is it called?
>>52611762
umaru + reddit + coc is still better than the trap shit
>>52611776
forget the quote, that was a mistake
>>52611770
This only happened because some autist decided that it's okay to shit up /g/ just to have his retarded slogan and OP image on the board.
>>52611780
Fuck you.
>>52611776
Network sort is the version of sleepsort used in hardware.
Whatever you're saying after that is complete nonsense and unrelated to sleepsort.
>>52611795
i'm not even OP
you're the one shitting up the thread
>>52611811
Your thread was garbage the moment it was made.
>>52611795
>Whatever you're saying after that is complete nonsense and unrelated to sleepsort
either you don't know what sleepsort is, didn't read what I wrote at all or you are stupid as fuck
what I wrote there is sleepsort sorting a list in a list and not printing it out
you are retarded and that triggered me a little because I had to explain it to you eventhough it's very easy to understand
>>52611815
>>52611811
>you're the one shitting up the thread
It is already a shitpile. This place is not reddit, and this place has no code of conduct. If you want to see that shit so much, go somewhere else. You do not have the power to add code of conduxt to a thread, and pretending to do only causes more shitposting. I definitely am going to post about jews the moment I see the opportunity now.
>>52611822
You explain things like you're shitting in the streets.
You don't even know what sleepsort is.
You can't sort lists using sleepsort because they don't have objective numerical values. The only way you can provide one is to use a hashcode, and sorting a hashcode is meaningless.
How about you try and figure out what you actually want to do? Alternatively stop shitting in the streets.
>>52611850
kill yourself
the OP doesn't mean much, not even if it's a trap thread
you're just making it worse and people sure as hell aren't going to stop posting threads around the bump limit just because you tell them to
go ahead and talk about jews if you want
>>52611869
I will.
>>52611869
The OP and posts immediately after it dictate the content of the thread, so go fuck yourself.
Enjoy having a thread full of armchair economists when some retard decides to post an OP involving "GPL".

Where do you get those meme benchmarks?
So, despite the sjw and communism memes, what is wrong with Rust and why don't you want to use the language of 21 century?
>>52612793
i dont know shit about it actually
what does it do better than existing languages and why is it worth abandoning larger libraries, better tools, better compilers and all the other meta stuff already assosciated with popular languages?
>>52612937
It's C done right with a lot of FP features.
>>52612793
I tried writing a simple compiler in it, but after many iterations I just couldn't stop wrestling with the language for doing basic things.
>>52612980
Not C, but C++, desu.
>>52613012
Yeah, you need at least a month of practice so you won't have problems with the borrow checker and other things. But after that it should be ok.
>>52613015
Rust isn't really OOP in the sense that C++ is. It's more comparable to C with safety and FP features.

Question about Python
I have a program, it works like this:
inside function 1 it generates a random nr, then it proceeds to function 2 which takes that number and searches for a line inside a textfile which matches that random number.(using a for cycle and an if cycle inside of it)
Then the line from the file is given and program returns to function 1, where again a new random number is produced. The new random number then proceeds to function 2, but it seems that in the function 2, the linecounter has stopped at the position of the first random number, meaning that only values higher than the first random number work and in case of lower value the program doesn't work anymore. Any help?
code in function 2 is basically looking like this:
for line in file:
line.strip
line.split
if randomnr in line[0:2]:
print nr
function1()

void bad(int **out)
{
int on_stack[32];
*out = (int *)on_stack;

}
This code is massively simplified but is this the sort of bug that a compiler can catch in the general case or does aliasing completely break things? Had a friend come to me confused and wanting help debugging his code because he had an array initialized on the stack in a function that returned so parts of the array got overwritten by proceeding function calls.
It seems to me like it could be protected against pretty easily since you would end up with out pointing to something on the stack, past the stack pointer but not in the heap.

>>52618002
Pass a 2D integer array by reference.
>>52617869
In C++, RAII is the default. The compiler can't catch this error because it assumes you know what you're doing. The reason your friend had so much trouble is because he doesn't understand the RAII idiom.
If he understood it to the point that it would be second nature, he wouldn't have this problem.
It may be possible for a static analyzer to realize that something is wrong, but I wouldn't leave it up to a tool to figure out anything other than that people are properly following guidelines.
>>52618002
>>52618015
It's a pointer to a pointer to an int. It can be used for a 2D array, but doesn't have to be (and isn't in this case).
>>52618002
It's a pointer to a pointer to an integer. You'd have something like this elsewhere:int *arr;. You call bad, passing in a pointer to the thing you want it to do stuff with and it does stuff to it. >>52618015
bad(&arr);
Just a 1D array
>>52618069
>pointer to a pointer
how much pointers to pointers can you do?
>>52618090
As many as you need.
Logically speaking there's no limit to indirection.

Basic memeing 101
Making a prime spiral generator. So far I've got a boolean function to determine if a number is prime, and the basic setup for a Swing window. Next up is drawing a square spiral.

Dicking around with pygame atm.
Not even sure why- just want to learn some python that isn't fucking manipulating excel.
I'm barely a hobby coder, but fuck me I'd prefer to be a developer than an analyst
Done.
>>52619064
For what purpose? I love python as a quick production tool, but you'll spend more time on pygame on game programming patterns where you will be less focused on python's strong points.
Though I won't argue it'll be a fantastic experience trying a unique workflow, considering the language is vastly different than usual gamdev languages
>>52619092
What is it?
>>52619108
Prime spiral. It's a square spiral, starting from the center. Black dots are prime numbers.
>>52619120
The center is 2?
>>52611854
Calm down
>>52619092
Can you plot and windmill of friendship and tolerance out of prime numbers?
>>52619131
At the very center should be a white dot for 1 if I understand my own code properly
>>52619179
>>52619092
pajeets are back lads
>>52618778
In the same sense as C: only in legacy software, not in current-day software - unlike the likes of ocaml.
>>52619199
Oops, it looks like the 1 might be accidentally skipped. Must amend code.
Does anyone know if there is an optimized leaderboard ranking algorithm? I've been given the task of inserting a score into a leaderboard and having all the rankings for that leaderboard updated and ready to display a few seconds later. On my own, I've come up with a 3root(N)/2 solution, which I think will suffice, but I'm curious if there's an O(log(N)) solution.
>>52619543
Ranking based on what?
>>52619570
y'mum
>>52619570
Score. For simplicity, just consider one list of a million scores, ordered highest to lowest. I want to be able to put a new score in there and then, two seconds later, be able to accurately tell you the position of any given score in that list. Linear time has already been rejected.
>>52619691
Binary search trees? Make the key the score and the value a list of player ids. Pick one that specializes in insertions.
Has anyone worked with boost spirit? It seemed easier to use than flex/bison for my current project because of extensive c++ use.

This is going in a database, not in memory. Though maybe the same concept could be applied - I'll think about it. The problem as I've been presented it is a little more complicated than the one I've presented, but I think you may be onto something.
>>52619885
And?
Different languages are better at different goals. If you have a better solution for a build system with script parsing than C/C++ I'd love to hear it. Seriously.
>>52619885
Wow, great contribution man. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing your resume.
>>52619920
>putting glorious C next to shitty C++
>using either for script parsing
>>52619948
Quit frog posting and be useful for once. What would you use for script parsing?
>>52619907
I don't think there are any options to pick from when using a database. Just optimize your query and/or tune the engine.
>>52619985
*there are _no_ options
>>52619985
Well, testing my options brought me from N time to root(N) time, so I'm hesitant to stop looking for a log(N) solution. But, I'm inclined to agree - all the good logarithmic algorithms for this are in-memory operations.
>>52619948
>C
>glorious
>bashing C++ at the same time
Oh the irony. I bet you don't know shit about C anyway. I bet you think C can do r-value references and move operations.
Wait, a BST/b-tree actually solves nothing about this leaderboard problem. You can't derive accurate rank information from it any faster than linear time. Welp, I'm more sold on my own solution then.
Will learning maths change the way I think about programming?

I'm a complete noob faggot and I'm learning python. Is there an elegant one-liner way to stop the current iteration of a while loop (and repeat it from the start) without breaking it completely?
>>52621031
To do it efficiently in pure FP you need complex data structures.
>>52621044
if it's like, while i < 100, just make i = 0 on your condition to restart?
>>52618777
What's the white man's way of doing graphics?
>>52621085
It's important that i stays the way it is however, and I'd hate to wrap it in another while loop, it feels too much like a messy way to do it.
>>52621116
Add another condition check in your while with &&?
while (i whatever && j whatever)
>>52621086
not Java
People still use Swing? It's been deprecated for years.
>>52621068
Quite the contrary.
>>52621134
I don't think that'd be of any benefit here. What I'm at iswhile i < 100:
if blahblah: break #kills the whole thing
elif blahblah: #break loop and start again
else: #do lotsa stuff (involving i)
I want something simple for the elif command. Is there a built-in command like "break" that only kills one iteration of the cycle?
>>52621148
It's easy and comfortable
>>52621044
>>52621116
Repeat what from the start? Like start the entire loop over, or just start the current iteration over?
If start the loop over, then why does i need to stay the same? If restart the current iteration, then do something like:for(int i=0; i<whatever; i++) {
...
if( condition ) {
i--;
continue;
}
...
}
>>52621178
Show me an efficient A* implementation in a pure FP language of your choice which is significantly simpler than in an imperative language.
>>52621218
>>52621231
Now it sounds like you want to not restart the current iteration, but skip the current iteration. If that's the case, then justcontinue;
>>52621218initiali = i
while i < 100:
if blahblah: break #kills the whole thing
elif blahblah: i = initiali#break loop and start again
else: #do lotsa stuff (involving i)
???
>>52621218
>>52621272
you niggas never heard of continue? that's not even programming 101, that's like programming 99
