Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. |

This sounds about right. I'd probably use a 4x13 multidimensional array rather than four vectors, but the end result will be more or less the same. From there, a straight flush would be 5 adjacent cells in the same row (need to take into account A-T straight as well as A-5). Four of a kind would be 4 cells in the same column. Etc etc. If you're going for performance, you could store the sums of each of row/column somewhere, and that could be used to significantly cut down search time for possible hands. This method will scale for any number of cards, even if you wanted to find the best 5 card hand out of 30.

what are some good books that teaches you some advanced programming?
i've read a bit (not entirely) of 'introduction to algorithms', 'sicp', 'the c programming language', etc so i pretty much understand the basics of programming, but i wanna dive into making some 'larger' programs, so to speak.
ie programs that don't just spit out a few lines of data, but something like a text editor or a emulator, or w/e that can be used for real world value.
I think that you aren't really looking for another book, rather some difficult problems to test your skills at. I highly recommend tying https://www.interviewstreet.com/challenges/. They have some real world value to their problems (although wrapped in silly questions) you'll find them pretty tricky and becoming inventive to solve them correctly as there sre maby screwballs.
These challenges would be great for anyone to ponder over and having participated myself I highly recommend them!

No there shouldn't be a difference between 5 and 7 as long as you assume a flush beats a straight of 6 cards. Basically I'm saying that you need to make sure to read your data correctly meaning you only use 5 cards to determine the best hand even if you have 7 mapped. Also, be sure to keep it efficient by not doing extra calculations - like if you have a flush why check for pairs. But be weary of breaking too soon as you mentioned there could be a royal flush for instance 
Hopefully this helps and makes sense/doesn't seem like I'm rehashing your entire problem as I'm sure you've already considered most of what I went over.

I can't get my head around reflection. Can someone explain what it is and how it works? (in particular for .NET)

I haven't used it, but looked it up just now. Sounds to me that the basic idea is instead of hardcoding function or method calls, you use variable calls to functionality. If the code that is run during runtime is variable instead of hardcoded, then the program can possibly behave in a more reactive nature. That's what I got out of the wiki page after a couple minutes of reading.
Seems like things would really get complicated when deciding how and why to modify what.

It can get pretty in depth and I'm no expert myself. The easy thing to say is that it allows you to inspect assemblies and the data in them from within your program. The hardest part is coming up with examples of how you can use this functionality to do something useful. To start you off here are some basics. In .NET you have this notion of a common type system (CTS). Types that belong to this system are classes, interfaces, structures, enums, and delegates. Each of these types can have members (also classified by the CTS). These are things like constructors, properties, methods, operators etc...
After your code is compiled to an .exe or .dll it contains information about all the types/members described by your program. This is called metadata. What reflection does is provide a way to examine this metadata and even instantiate objects from it at runtime.
Attributes go hand in hand with reflection. Lets say you have a simple project with two classes:
[MyAttribute]
public class SomeClass
{
// .. stuff and things
}
public class SomeOtherClass
{
// .. more stuff and more things
}
public class MyAttribute : System.Attribute
{
// .. an empty 'marker' attribute with no properties
}
The meta-data for SomeClass will include the fact that it's 'marked' with my MyAttribute. One thing you could do is use relection to inspect the assembly that contains these two classes and get all types that have the MyAttribute attribute. If I were you I would make a simple project, like this, and mess around with ways to filter on types. Look at MethodInfo, PropertyInfo, and the Activator (the class that allows you to create an instance of a type once you have its meta-data).

Okay im done with CSS. Its driving me insane! 
My current problem is as follows:
I have to fix a CSS-Layout that was done by another guy. So i have no real clue what he was doing. Its written with the help of YAML. I am pretty much a newb when it comes to CSS.
Basically i have a DIV-Wrapper that creates the body of the page, a main body div, a header div, a content div and a footer. The Wrapper is supposed to span over all the divs. The main div is supposed to span over the header and content div.
Now somehow Chrome/Firefox/Opera fails to include the Footer into the Wrapper and doesnt span the main div over the content. IE draws everything as supposed to be.
Now that probably sounds totally confusing but its probably just some stupid small error somewhere. I dont want someone to understand or actually fix the layout for me.
My question is rather how can i find the error? I have doublechecked every Tag, ran the code through some validators. Looked at it with Chrome Developer Tools. I know where the browser gets it wrong but the code is correct (as far as my debugging skills go ).
Are there any CSS Debugging Tools or Editors that can point out Code-Errors or maybe a tool that analyzes my framework? Anything?

Ok so I'm working on a .Net project at work and I had a design issue I'm hoping someone can answer. We are storing our data in a System.Data.DataTable structure (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.datatable.aspx) and we have it bound to a DataGrid (formerly DataGridView from WinForms).
My project is to create an undo/redo logging system. To keep it crash resistant we are manually serializing the table changes and recording them in the file. For example if you were to delete Row 3, which contains
1|row3 text|MyObject3,
The log file would add a line that says something along the lines of
DataTableName removed Row 3 Values 1|row3 text|[MyObject3.field1 ...]
2 questions:
1) Is this optimal? Considering the crash-resistant and memory constraints, can we do this faster? I've optimized the file reads/writes - i.e. using FileStream.Write(byte[]), flushing to OS instead of straight to disk, etc) I realize that there are some XML serializations but they didn't give us the capability of hosting multiple dataTable changes in a single undoFile.txt
2) The DataGrid UI allows you to select multiple rows and delete. From a user standpoint, ctrl+z should undo that "mass delete" and replace all those rows in a single step. However, the DataGrid propagates those changes one at a time. There is no method in DataTable to delete multiple rows at once, so those deletes occur serially. Consequently, I have no way of knowing where the user deleted 10+ rows simultaneously, or deleted them by pressing the delete key REALLY FAST. Using some kind of timer to see when the events fire (i.e. within 10 ms of eachother) is kind of a hack, and with (potentially very large) file IO there's no real guarantee it will complete within a reasonable time. Our solution was to listen to the sending window - if an onClick or keystroke event registers, all changes that occur afterward are associated with that one click event. This is also a hack, and runs into issues with programatically changing the DataTable.
Ideas?
Thanks- sorry for the long post :D

I've used it a bit at work recently, it's REALLY cool if you're going to be passed an object that you don't have access to at compile time. Are you looking for code examples or what?
For example, I have a library (see my above post :D) that takes a number of DataTables at runtime. The DataTable can have custom objects/structs within them. I have to convert these objects to some well-known text format to save their values. With reflection, I can create an array of FieldInfo objects associated with my unknown object, and find every field within my unknown object! For example
FieldInfo[] fieldInfo = unknownObject.GetType().GetFields();
string fieldName = fieldInfo[0].Name;
var unknownObjectField1 = fieldInfo[0].GetValue(unknownObject);
var newObject = Activator.CreateInstance(FieldInfo[0].Type);
This is pseudocode, but you get the idea. It can be incredibly useful if you need to serialize an unknown object, or modify a variable at runtime (using fieldInfo[0].SetValue(newValue, newObject) I believe).
Also, you can examine the object to see if it implements any interfaces that you have access to.
In short, it has a few specific circumstances where it's incredibly useful. In general, it's just rather neat.
As to how it works, I'm assuming that running GetType() on an object looks to some local metadata which points to a location in a loaded DLL. I'm pretty sure it ISN'T stored local to the object, because it works on primitives like INT, which is only 4 bytes.

Thanks. I do have those extra functions in place. think by just checking the number of different suits and ranks I can find most of the cards. Thanks for the help.

Here's an awesome summary of some hand evaluation approaches and libraries.
http://www.codingthewheel.com/archives/poker-hand-evaluator-roundup
Near the bottom he summarizes the basic approach and links to an C example. Definitely overkill for a quick exercise, but I found it fascinating (ended up using the 2+2 evaluator for my project).

Thanks- sorry for the long post :D
Serialization is always fun!
1) Have you looked into a BindingList? It binds directly to the DataGridView and therefore any changes made to the DGV should be directly translated across. Obviously in the context i think you are trying to use it, it might not fill the full function(?). To make a single xml file record all the changes, you can just serialize the BindingsList, set to append. But again thats a bit of a hash to deal with afterwards.
2) Does the DataGrid not have a record number/ID? If not you could add one and not show it. e.g. If you had 100 rows, delete the first 20, the next row ID should start at number 30. If they delete more than one row all you have to check is the current ID and that will tell you what has been deleted. (Does this help?) You could just add this method to your onclick event.
Hopefully this helps, might of understood incorrectly.

I am trying to write some html code to auto generate a monitoring form i generally have to check off on paper and then type out. Im trying to limit having to re-type the same thing albeit it slightly different every time I monitor a tech. Its not completely done, but I ran into a problem I wanted to fix before moving on. Its a form where you choose yes/no depending on whether the person does it. Then you hit generate and it will auto populate the text I need. My problem is with the radio buttons. It wont let me choose 'yes' on more than 1 in each set of row, but it will for 'no' in some of the others. If you load it the radio buttons are just buggy. Is that because im loading it from a free html previewer? Im not sure why the radio buttons aren't working correctly, the yes/no option shouldn't be tied to next row should it? so why would it not let me choose yes on one of the other rows?

Pretty easy catch here.

Copy paste can be mean sometimes 
Second issue is your naming convention. Every 'Yes' has the name 'q1', so it groups all of those 'q1' radio buttons together. Same with a couple of the 'No' buttons. So as an example, you can fix this situation like this
<table class="info">

oh damn, copy/paste fail indeed. can't believe i didn't catch that i didn't rename those after creating each line

Sorry to derail the topic, but seeing as this where most of the forum's IT geeks gather I have a general question concerning employment. I recently applied to a small IT company to do my summer internship as per my CS major requirements. I was wondering if any of you have any experience in the job market and I'd really appreciate someone pm'ing me. I don't want to discuss it publicly.

What are the best webhosting services? Looking to start up a site and plan to implement a database...
Is GoDaddy the obvious choice?

I use DreamHost, personally. They are pretty awesome
Haven't used GoDaddy in years, as my last experience with them was mostly annoying.
