EPTLets hope it go well
The Big Programming Thread - Page 714

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. | ||

Mostly some random designers from Berlin, guess they got attracked by the startup and art scene and spewed out pretty quickly. | ||

Has anyone tried to get familiar with C++11/14 yet or has anyone read that book? I'm actually in the middle of it right now too, it's my build time reading :D It's a really good book, although almost all of it has been disseminated to stackoverflow at this point so if you've been keeping up to date there's not a *ton* of new stuff in there, just collected wisdom from the last 5 years or so It's a really good book though, and C++11/14 is a significantly better language than C++98/03 was. | ||

Other than that, the more I read, the more I understand how little of C++ I know, haha. The book definitely helps though. I've not read explanation yet why pass by value could be a good thing other than that the compiler may use move semantics. I'm not aware of all the rules when this is supposed to happen though. | ||

Basically you want to compare 2 90MB unsorted text files. A way that came up to my mind is using Cygwin to use Linux sort command and "merge" both files into a 3rd file without duplicating records. Number of records is the same in both files. Logically if the 3rd file got the same record count as the other 2 files, does that mean that those files are identical? | ||

If you need an exact answer, you'll have to do something like that (sort both alphabetically and then do an exhaustive row by row comparison). If you don't need an exact answer, a far easier and quicker way is to count every character. If the counts are the same you can be virtually certain that they are the same, but not 100%. On the other hand, if they are different you can be 100% certain the text files are different. | ||

If you are already using that sort tool, couldn't you just completely finish the job with the rest of the tools? Like so on the command line: diff -q <(sort one.txt) <(sort two.txt) The slowest about this is the sort tool. It's something like 5 seconds for 90MB text. | ||

std::string hello = "Hello!"; Are you able to access "Hello!" after this line? I don't think so. So, it has to be rvalue then but the standard considers it lvalue, I think. | ||

I'm managing the ETL between our 3rd party pricing system and our ERP. We get pricing like this: ItemCode Distributor Month Price 123 123 201501 8 123 123 201505 8 123 123 201506 8 123 123 201507 8 I have to convert it to this: ItemCode Distributor Start End Price 123 123 201501 201501 8 123 123 201505 201507 8 I wanted to do it without using any cursor or do-while loop. Also have to consider that there can be well over 1 million rows to process. Turns out to have been one of the more challenging SQL I've had to write in a long time. You can't just do a basic group by with a min and max on the Month, otherwise it would set the price to be from 201501 to 201507, which isn't correct. I was able to do it by first finding all the prices that have no price for the previous month, assigning a unique ID to each one, and then running a recursive query to find the next month with the same price for each ID. It would pass the parent ID to each subsequent child. Once that was complete, then I could just do a group by using the ID. Simplifying it, but hopefully you get the idea. With proper indexes, it runs quick enough to handle the large row count. It was a nice accomplishment to follow one of the busiest weeks I've had in a while. | ||

Was that one of your interview questions? How did it go? No it is not, just a problem I faced yesterday. Thanks for asking... I... had better interviews... | ||

Yeee, nice :p I can't imagine doing it in SQL but it looks super close to how you would implement union-find/merge :o On April 01 2016 04:32 WrathSCII wrote: No it is not, just a problem I faced yesterday.

How would I write a computer program to calculate (find a and b) 6 = a^3 + b^3 where a and b can be any integer (positive or negative)? I desperately need solution to this equation and I'm too noob at this stuff... | ||
