/dpt/ - Daily Programming Thread
You are currently reading a thread in /g/ - Technology
old thread: >>53517629
What are you working on, /g/?
First for Java is the number one programming language
Can one of you guys explain me this? (in C)
"signed char" goes from -128 to 127 and we use the positive values for the ASCII code. There's a program where I need a special sign from the ANSI code but the value is higher than 127 (lets assume it's ยต with 181), so why does the program works with "char", but not with "unsigned char" (which goes from 0 to 255). I don't get it.

>>53523960

>"signed char" goes from -128 to 127
no, it goes from SCHAR_MIN to SCHAR_MAX
>"unsigned char" (which goes from 0 to 255)
no, it goes from 0 to UCHAR_MAX

Let's define a parameter of number n as the least common multiple (LCM) of the sum of its digits and their product.
Calculate the parameter of the given number n.
Example:
parameter(1) = 1
parameter(22) = 4
Both the sum and the product of digits equal 4, and LCM(4, 4) = 4.
>>53524201void swap(int a, int b)
{
int temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
// a and b are copies of the original values.
// The changes we made here won't be visible to the caller.

I can't tell if I enjoy /dpt/ or /agdg/ more
>>53523960
The way the program will represent mu is entirely implementation dependent. If we go through reasonable guesses, that is that 181 comes from an iso norm that looks like latin1, and that your signed chars are 8bits 2-complement integers, here's my reasoning:
greek1 defines that mu is encoded as 0xB5, which is 181 in decimal.
it's put as is in a char.
This makes the -75 signed value.
Try it!
>>53524378
>know anything about programming?
nigga that's a function. in C.
I heard that switch statements are 10,000,000 times faster than if statements in some situations. Is this true? Why?
>>53524433

No. Because it's false.

>>53524484
Implying you can compete with the millions of Indians already flooding the Android market with their shitty apps
>>53524450
Yes, it's true.
Think about it. A switch is just switched to the proper output, where as an 'if' requires thought. Is that number 5? Hm, I dunno. Oh, it is!
Significantly more time taken.

int a = 10;

}
Why do Java exceptions work like they do? I've just been doing "try/catch" statements (never using throws) so guess I'm missing something but shit just feels cumbersome
>>53524515
switch also has to compare the input to it's entire list of enumerated values until it encounters a break.
worst case is comparing through every single enum and then doing default.
>>53524527
would a be 10 or 20?
>>53524072
Epic newfag trolling or am I too stupid for this? My book says that we use only the positive values from the char range, so why do I have to use char (which goes max to 127 for the positive values), although ยต has the (higher) value 181.
The only way to solve this would be the use of unsigned char, but the program doesn't work then with it.
>>53524527

Python question:
Is there a way to access a cookie directly from a http.cookiejar.CookieJar? I don't want to iterate though the whole thing, but rather just get a cookie directly. It doesn't support indexing nor is it subscriptable.
>>53525498
create your own object extending the object that supports indexing
or just iterate through it desu
Coming from java, learning C++. So here is the thing. I liked to write the "path" to my methods and constants etc. Like:
MyClass.CONSTANT_XY and MyClass.method1().
instead of just CONSTANT_XY or just method1()
Im using SDL2, so here is a method called SDL_CreateWindow(params), but i actually want to use SDL::SDL_CreateWindow(params) or something like that.
>>53525575
SDL is written in C. C does not have namespaces which is the reason libraries use the Libname_* convention to prevent name collision.
>>53525542
Yeah, I settled for just iterating through it once and adding them to a dictionary. It's still weird that the CookieJar class doesn't support at least indexing.
Anyone doing some Vulkan here? Can I pack two pipeline barriers into one command buffer and bind a render pass between them?
I keep teaching myself C++ but I'm getting burnt out because I don't know what to do with all the information. What do?

Your are blindfolded and left in a big square room of length size. Because you can't see anything, you tread carefully along the side of the room, forming a spiral shape as you walk. Now that you know how many 'steps' you have taken, you want to know your position in the room.
Example:
For size = 5 and steps = 20, the answer should be
Blindfolded(size, steps) = [2, 3].
Your path can be shown as the following figure:
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
[16, 17, 18, 19, 6],
[15, x, x, 20, 7],
[14, x, x, x, 8],
[13, 12, 11, 10, 9]
The 20th step brought you to the second "line" and "third" column (0-based), so the answer is [2, 3].
[input] integer size
The size of the room.
[input] integer steps
The number of steps you have taken.
[output] array.integer
Array of length two, describing your position in the room.

>>53526338
SCHAR_MIN is guaranteed to be at least -127 and SCHAR_MAX is guaranteed to be at least 127, so it's completely safe to assume that there will be at least 255 possible values.

Very new to python.
Basically I'm creating a game with a deck of 9 "cards", each player gets a card and if it's higher it's given to the other players deck.
I'm having some troubles with the list and decks. I'm also extremely new so don't judge, if anyone could just POINT me in the right direction that'd help.
from random import seed,shuffle
s = input("Enter a seed value: ")
seed(s)
deck = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,"Give3"]
shuffle(deck)
print("deck:",deck)
print()
one2 = deck.pop(1)
two2 = deck.pop(2)
one = []
two = []
while deck == True:
print("play:","\t",one,"\t\t",two)
if one > two:
one.append(two)
else:
two.append(one)
if two == []:
print("Player one wins!")
if one == []:
print("Player two wins!")

does this literally swap the global values of integers?

if you use an IDE for C you should probably kill yourself
>>53529178
yes, my swap function is so powerful, it can swap literals!
https://ideone.com/7S81qA
System.out.format("1 = %d, 2 = %d\n", 1, 2); // 1 = 1, 2 = 2
swap(1, 2);
System.out.format("1 = %d, 2 = %d\n", 1, 2); //1 = 2, 2 = 1

What about something like the Quake engine with a fuckton of components? Kinda nice to have a tool that helps you organize

Holy fuck 11/10 name I already love it
>>53529255
got a screenshot?
>>53529203
no integer is safe.
https://ideone.com/8yL6tySystem.out.format("42 = %d\n", 42); //42 = 42
swap(2, 4);
System.out.format("42 = %d\n", 42); //42 = 24
And you guys were saying java was shit
>>53529329
I think it's swapping the char representation of the int.System.out.format("2 + 3 = %d, 2 + 5 = %d\n", 2 + 3, 2 + 5); // 2 + 3 = 5, 2 + 5 = 7
swap(3, 5);
System.out.format("2 + 3 = %d, 2 + 5 = %d\n", 2 + 3, 2 + 5); // 2 + 3 = 3, 2 + 5 = 7
>3 + 2 = 3

>>53529203
Some old Fortran and Algol 60 compilers actually let you swap and assign to literals because the literals were stored in memory and there's nothing like const to prevent you from doing it.
>>53529531
The LISPs allow that too.
>>53529177while deck == True:
deck is never == True because deck is a list and lists are not boolean values.if one > two:
you are compaing two lists with >. That doesnt do what you think it does.
Anyone
>>53523939
Still raytracing. This certainly takes time :^)
This is the Sponza scene with some extra objects, totaling 200K+ tris. Not bad for a relatively simple SAH BVH.
>>53529565
>python lets you compare bool to lists
that is quite stupid for a high level language that is claimed to be beginner friendly
>>53529582
Anyone have any methods programming against reverse-engineering tools?

hey /g/
trying to learn Unity to do basic apps
Scripting is hard though,following the tutorials on their website is easy enough as it's step by step,but what about when it's over?
They don't really go into detail as to WHY it works,simply "type this here and it works,now let's move onto the next step"
will i be shit out of luck after that? or where should I go if I want to improve my knowledge?
>>53529596
noone cares about your shitty binary
>>53529596
You can't stop a truly determined hacker. All you're doing is slowing down your own development time.
hi i'm home.
G-guys i have a midterm coming up next week how the FUCK do i study for it? Im learning java/ data structures and i don't know what to do, pic related is what im going to be tested on!
>>53529652
False, iLok 2 hasn't been cracked.
>>53529678
yet
>>53529673
That shit's easy. If you can't learn that in a week then wtf are you doing?
>>53529673
you need to actually write code
>>53529689
Actually it has, lol
It took years, but it finally has.
>>53529565
True, but he's probably getting tripped up by the truthiness thing python does
>>53529673
Easy as fuck.
>>53529694
im scared, i have 2 hrs 30 min test time, im usually shit at tests too unless the material is second nature to me.
>>53529705
where's a website where i can get code assignments or practice
>>53529735
>as fuck
>>53529705
yourtextbook.com
>>53529737
>2 hrs 30 min test time
More than enough time.
Have you programmed before?
Is it for uni?
What uni?
Do you actually like CS or went there for the monies/because it's cool?
What book are you using?
>>53529737
meant to quote you
I'm learning from 0 using c programming: a modern approach.
if i use char *p = "abc";
why doesn't puts(*p); works?
i simply don't get it.
it should be easy as hell but is one of those things that you just look at over and over again without making the neural conection. like when you are reading a book but you have to re-read something 3 or 4 times again because you're spacing out too hard.
Please, my mind is going full retard right now
>>53529791
the type of p is char *
the type of *p is char
puts is for printing strings (char * with '\0' as last char), not chars
>>53529791
>>53529812
So you should do puts(s) to print a string or putc(*s) to print the first character of the string.
"abc" is const char*, you shouldn't try to cast it char*
