I'm gonna move my question over to this thread, not because I am against anime, but because I don't want the entire thread to either bash on or defend anime.
So . . . question. I'm about to finish my most recent course in programming languages, and I was wondering: What kind of curriculum / book / YouTube video / whatever (free or paid) should I go for to actually be able to make actual, modern applications that have some significance in modern technology.
Difficulty shouldn't matter much, as I already have a good foundation (I think). I can program in basic things in Java, Python, and C++ and more intermediate stuff in C and C#. Give me a suggestion. an be a completely different programming language. Swift, Ruby, JS, whatever, as long as it teaches how to make something really cool, and not just console applications.

All you need for programming is a text editor with a monospaced font and syntax highlighting for the language you're using. Everything else is a bonus on top of that. Notepad lacks syntax highlighting.
>>50716389
Yeah if you're using windows then use notepad, if you're using linux try gedit. Vim is a good text editor and it only takes a couple runs through the tutorial to git gud.

I was bored, so here's an in-place implementation of quicksort:procedure Quick_Sort(Arr : in out Array_T) is
Pivot, Left, Right : Index_T;
begin
if Arr'Length <= 1 then
return;
end if;
Pivot := Arr'First;
Left := Index_T'Succ(Pivot);
Right := Arr'Last;
loop
while Arr(Left) <= Arr(Pivot) and then Left < Arr'Last loop
Left := Index_T'Succ(Left);
end loop;
while Arr(Right) > Arr(Pivot) and then Right > Arr'First loop
Right := Index_T'Pred(Right);
end loop;
exit when Left >= Right;
Swap(Arr(Left), Arr(Right));
end loop;
Swap(Arr(Pivot), Arr(Right));
if Right > Arr'First then
Quick_Sort( Arr(Arr'First .. Index_T'Pred(Right)) );
end if;
if Right < Arr'Last then
Quick_Sort( Arr(Index_T'Succ(Right) .. Arr'Last) );
end if;
end Quick_Sort;
>>50716411
Console applications are the usual focus since it is easy to print text to a screen.
If you want to learn to make graphical applications, use a library that allows you do to do that.
You should find that applications are still the same, but now you map a function call to a button or something instead.
I use Qt as they have good documentation and is fairly straight forward.
>>50716490
I wonder if Hiroshi will ever be bothered to get Ada highlighting working.
>>50716284
It's not an IDE at all, but that's by design. It's a text editor, and quite a good one at that. Actual IDEs, for all the functions they do have, don't really have particularly good text editors.
Not that you can't customize Emacs to do call compilers and stuff, but normally you just do the compilation part outside of Emacs, in a terminal or similar, as that's not the purpose of a text editor.

Did you not pay attention to the "in-place" part? That tends to make things significantly different.
Working on a multi platform Graphical Disk Usage Analyzer in the same vein as WinDirStat sans the whole file management (that's what you have ab file manager/terminal for, and its a un-intended feature for now) that's multi threaded for asynchronous I/O and the algorithm to create the treemap.
Wondering if you guys have any legitimate suggestions as to add as a feature or functionality.
Since this is for a project per documentation I will give credit to the originator, just leave like a name or initial.

>Windirstat without the ability to delete files/folders
Literally useless. I use Windirstat when I want to click through, figure out what bullshit is hogging my disk space, and then clear it out with a couple of mouse clicks. That's literally the entire purpose of the program. Just visualizing the data doesn't help me if I want to delete three dozen folders all nested in some deep directory structure.
If you at least implement a right-click -> "Open explorer to..." or whatever the Linux equivalent is ("Copy path" maybe, idk?) then that's a bit better, but from there it's not much of a stretch to add a delete button, is it?
>>50716664
This may surprise you, but making it stable only requires one line.def qsort([]), do: []
def qsort([pivot|rest]) do
{equal, nonequal} = Enum.partition(rest, &(&1 == pivot))
{smaller, larger} = Enum.partition(nonequal, &(&1 < pivot))
qsort(smaller) ++ [pivot|equal] ++ qsort(larger)
end
>>50716664
>>50717034
Ok I'm actually just dumb and somehow interpreted in place as stable. The in place bit doesn't usually matter for a functional language since the compiler will essentially optimize the new array to just be an in place mutation of the old one.
>>50716917
Did, they were not keen on learning the ropes for Qt, and they said hell no to using Ceylon, and to be honest I don't really have much free time to invest in learning Python.
>>50716948
Read carefully, I said in the application itself that is last priority that's what file managers and terminal is there for. If you look at the work toolbar. The intent is to open up terminal and file manager to the exact path (user choice with accelerators and context menus). We want to avoid the handling of file manipulation until the end up making the deletion a move to trash/recycling to avoid having users accidentally permanently deleting data.

>compiler will essentially optimize the new array to just be an in place mutation of the old one
Nope. They're slightly different algorithms, with different spatial complexities. There are also a number of other differences in what you've done (is that Elixir?) and what I've done. You're using linked lists, I'm using arrays, (I assume) your list requires integer indices, while arrays in Ada can also use enumerations for that. You've also hidden a lot of the implementation in a partition function.
I want to write a strategy game in a functional language. Is this possible?
>>50717359
Yes. Functional languages are generally Turing-complete.
>>50717359
No. You can only write games in javascript
>>50717379
I heard functional languages were really bad with input and rendering so I wasn't sure.
>>50716484
Still can't come up with a better algorithm for doing a refill of a buffer with an input file. ;_;static int refillBuffer(FILE *inFile)
{
// TODO: optimize
// inFile.map(inFile.pos(), inFile.size());
while((encBufLast - encBufPos < BUF_REFILL_AMOUNT) && !(inFileSize <= 0))
{
*((char*)(encBuf + (encBufLast % ENC_BUF_SZ))) = (char)fgetc(inFile);
--inFileSize;
++encBufLast;
}
if((encBufPos == encBufLast) && (inFileSize <= 0))
{
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
>>50717258
The linked lists don't use integer indeces, they're just plain old linked lists, but will be quite efficient because I pattern match only on the first item and the rest of the list.
The partition function is hiding some complexity, but not alot, since it's just performing a map of the passed anonymous function on each element in the list to split it up.
Thinking about it some more though, the use of partition will likely result in new structures being created in the memory rather than a mutation. So I guess under the hood they actually will perform quite differently.
>>50717401
You do know that FILE * are already buffered, right?
How much faster is C than C++ for general computation, assuming both programs are coded optimally? I'm under the impression the difference is negligible.

It is.
>>50717502
Ok, thanks.
>>50717498
Assuming optimal coding, there is negligible difference between C, C++, Ada, Fortran, Forth, and Rust.
I'm learning C (actually programming in general). I've started with basic OpenGL animations. Right now I have a ball that bounces around the screen.
How do I make random a magnitude of a number? I have an array of two integers, these determine the direction this balls goes in.int ballSpeed[2] = {1,1}; //north-east
int ballSpeed[2] = {-1,1}; //north-west
int ballSpeed[2] = {1,-1}; //south-east
int ballSpeed[2] = {-1,-1}; //south-west
I know of rand(), but this gives me a random value in a range, a range that can't be negative.
Any help?
>>50717523
To clarify: how do I generate a random value, either of -1 or 1?
>tfw u can't find a good midi library so you just write directly to /dev/pcspeaker

I should clarify, this is used for a compression scheme for a file. I am "chunking" the file into blocks with this.

if by optimal you mean
>the fastest possible code that will compile
then they will be exactly the same, because it'll be exactly the same code (inline assembly)
if by optimal you mean

then it'll be exactly the same in most cases since most programs are trivial, and up to a small negligible difference favoring C for very complex programs

It's possible, but not as straightforward in a pure functional language as in a more traditional imperative one

If by input you mean handling things like key events, those tend not to be an issue. However, actually rendering things has side effects, so a pure functional language will require proper separation to do this.

I feel like the only person who can legit say this is Linus. In most applications where more than one person is working on a code base or the code should be reusable, OOP is the way to go.

be aware that its every slightly more performant to only call print once. So returning msg and ending with
[code[print "\n".join(map(fizzbuzz,range(1,100)))[/code]
is faster than calling print in fizzbuzz.

Hi, I am learning JAVA and I am right now learning about Boolean Logical Operators by reading and typing the code in the book into the IDE.
But I have the feeling that I will just have a gist of what I am doing.
I have no real idea what I am doing it, aside from understanding the chapters that is.
It is difficult to put it into words.
My motiviation for coding is to express my scarce creativity and getting a job, but I have the feeling that I am missing something.
>>50719741
In C, don't cast void pointers. It'll silence any compiler warnings that may be there (such as discarding const) and does absolutely nothing of value.
Also, as a matter of style, you really shouldn't typedef pointers. It leads to your code being confusing as fuck to read.int compareAge(const void* a, const void* b) {
const someRecord *record1 = a;
const someRecord *record2 = b;
return record1->age - record2->age;
}
Is all you should need.
>>50719800
Gave it a try and it does't work.
ThetempLinksis an array of pointers to the structs.
So I need to get the value from a->pointerToStruct->struct->value.

}

>>50719913
Thx. It worked like a charm.
I was also fucking around and this happened to work.int compareAge(const void* a, const void* b) {
someRecord const *record1 = *(someRecord **) a;
someRecord const *record2 = *(someRecord **) b;
return record1->age - record2->age;
}
What the fuck is going on?
What does it even mean to do this*const*?
Or this*(someRecord **)?
If you don't wanna lecture, do you know a sight that explains this stuff?
I can't find this on my C book.
>>50719979
>*const*
A const pointer to a pointer. That is (const *)->(normal *)->(thing).
It means that you aren't allowed to change (normal *), but you're allowed to change (const *) or (thing).
You read declarations right to left, and keywords such as const apply to the thing to their right.
>*(someRecord **)
You're casting to a pointer to a pointer, and then dereferencing it once, leaving you with just a normal pointer.
Is this correct way to do this shit?

Lots of things. Want to fix your typos and try again?
Also, as a numpy veteran, may I recommend an indirect sort that results in an array of array indices rather than an array of pointers into another array? qsort makes this difficult and reliant on globals since it doesn't allow a "context" parameter to the comparator function, but you might gain some inspiration if you are working with array indices instead of pointers.
Just been workin' on a mini-game for my portfolio for a internship. Using C++ and the SFML game library.
I'll post code-snaps from my particle system when I get home
>>50720067
There are several things wrong:
You forgot the brackets on the cast.
record1 and record2 are not pointer types, so you're trying to assign a pointer to a struct.
Even if it was a pointer type, you want to dereference a and b once before assigning it.
I'm taking my first programming class, one in C++. I've submitted two assignments, all of which circled my comments and said my commenting does not fit convention./* this is a multi-line comment
* perhaps it introduces a new function
* or a code block that needs explaining */
int i = 0; //this is a short comment
//this is a comment that if placed beside the below, would stretch beyond the page
for (int i = 0; i < width*height*depth; i++, k++, n++) {}
Don't tell me C commenting convention is like in Java with "@param" nonsense?
>>50720121
sry. Just deleted the post because of the ugliness.
I'm not sure what you mean by:
>you might gain some inspiration if you are working with array indices instead of pointers.
I'm using qsort only because it's in the standard library.
I'm sorting with pointers to structs so I can to reduce memory since an array of structs just uses count * sizeof(struct) of memory.
I know qsort has worst case O(n^2). Do you know of a better sorting algorithm in the C standard library?
>>50720141
Yeah just noticed that.
Hence deleted.
Any of you guys know of a good source about how the compiler interprets * and &?int compareAge(const void* a, const void* b) { // Doesn't work
someRecord const *record1 = (someRecord *) &a;
someRecord const *record2 = (someRecord *) &b;
return record1->age - record2->age;
}
Obviously I have no idea about how this works...
>>50720047
Besides the complete lack of indentation and whitespace, it seems correct.
>>50720202
>how the compiler interprets * and &
All pointers are just memory addresses, which are just integers. & just gets the location that something is stored in memory, and * will look at the address which the pointer contains.
Any beginner C textbook should have a section on this. It would probably be a lot easier to explain with a drawing with an array that represents all of memory, but I can't be bothered drawing one, and you'll probably find one in the textbook.
You can use printf to get the value of a pointer with %p.
>>50720249
That made it clear actually.
Thx. I think I got confused with the *(int) (int *) (int)* stuff...
>>50720305
Yes, casting pointers can get messy, especially if qualifiers like const are used.
Again, I just let the compiler automatically convert void *'s to variables for me. I just have to worry about getting the type right.
>>50716284
I've been using eclipse for C++ and I really like it.
>>50720202
>I'm not sure what you mean by:
>>you might gain some inspiration if you are working with array indices instead of pointers.
Here's one benefit. `records` is your array of structs. `tempLinks` is a sorted array of pointers into `records`. If you need to move `records` somewhere else, so you free the memory, then `tempLinks` will now be full of invalid pointers.
However, if `tempLinks` is a simple array of integers, instead of pointers into `records`, then you can avoid this problem. `tempLinks` will then give the same sorted order regardless of where `records` is stored.
This is what numpy calls an "indirect sort", and the function `numpy.argsort` returns such an array of integers.
>>50720198
>does not fit convention.
that just means whatever little anal pattern she insists on. just figure out whatever that is and you're code to it. If you want to learn more once you're done with the class, you can investigate several coding standards out there, that touch on commenting as well as much more. I suggest if you have no other preference then follow Stroustrup's simple guidelines.

Yeah.. it's not hard to write a sort when partition is already done for you. Not only that but yours allocates heap memory A LOT and is probably at least 10x slower.

There is no difference in the optimal case. In the general case modern C++ will be smaller and faster because it will be architected better and take less overall development time.
>>50720393
>smaller
Not likely. It may be in fact faster (it's actually easier for the optimizer to do good things with well-written C++ in general than C, since C forces you to dictate so many small details), but not very likely to be smaller. The difference may be negligible for everything outside embedded, but it's there nonetheless.

Great C++ meme. All of those abstractions are FREE aren't they?

I didn't say people weren't smart enough, it's just that C++ is a design-by-committee clusterfuck. So many things get added to the language with every new release. It would take an individual decades to "master C++" and even by the time that happens, more shit would have been added.
Rust's way of managing ownership and lifetimes is quite esoteric. It's better to use first-class capabilities that languages with dependent and linear types can get you.

Weak reference.
>>50720971
Thanks fam. Things like that are so simple in Java, but in Rust any heap shit gets so complicated really fast. Btw does compiler optimize lending? Like, when I call a function with a non-mutable struct, does it copy the struct? It could potentially just reference the struct in the call frame in of the caller function.
>>50720965
A classical linked list needs to be made with pointers and unsafe in Rust.
You can do the same thing for a tree structure.
A much better way is to have a tree struct contain a vector of nodes and have the nodes contain indices that are used to look up into the vector.
This is better in any language, but in Rust it saves you from the borrow checker caring about the links between nodes.

I actually tried this in Java and it's somewhat slower than making a tree the obvious way (probably because of cache locality problems).
>>50721002
Best is hashed data system in which every leaf node has 16 children which are switched with a case switch. I'm 70% sure this is how a dictionary file structure works and why its faster than even a sorted list (which is probably an optimised red black tree in most implementations.
But like, why roll this yourself?

>>50721037
Maybe read the thread, someone asked a question.
Also more specialized data structures can benefit from knowing these things.
>>50721028
There are ways to optimize for better cache locality like having a vector for each level of the tree. Even better would be bulk inserts.
Don't forget that Java could be bounds checking the index lookup which would slow it down and doing other fancy JIT stuff which could speed up the other case.

There are few unusual bits of slight interest in that code. There's no mention of pointers, even though the array is obviously being passed by reference to sort it in-place. Instead there are the parameter modes in, out, and in out. There's liberal usage of type attributes, which is what's fucking up the highlighting. That's because in Ada, arrays can use enumerations as indices, and said indices don't have to start from zero. And that loop is set up to exit in the middle instead of at the start/end, which I haven't seen in many other languages.

* Gets cookie containing "uid" and "sid"
