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.

Just remove all 1's that are adjacent to 2's and then remove the 2's?

Edit:
Simpler yet:
1. Find all 2's
2. Make an adjacency list for 2's (ignoring duplicates) which is dead simple for 2d array
3. Profit!


I don't understand your first suggestion.

For the 2nd suggestion, you are saying to
1.) put each 2_location[x][y] into a list
2.) then for each element of the list create a sublist of each adjacent_1_location[x][y]
3.) and then for the next iteration I can just repeat for the elements in the sublist?
4.) repeat 2 and 3 until I am done?

Is this correct? If so, I really like this. And you'd probably mean for me to avoid adding the same adjacent_1_location[x][y] into 2 different sublists, but actually, because of the nature of what I am trying to do with this problem it is actually solving a future problem for me to just put them in there anyways. Long term I was going to need to do math based on the relationship of every square of ring 2 that touches any given square of ring 1. So this is PERFECT for that.


Here's how to do it step by step:

1. Note the location of all 2's (x, y).
2. Note the location of all elements adjacent to those 2's (we don't care if it's 0, 1, 2).
3. Set all those locations to 0.

Example:

1 1 1 1
1 1 2 1
1 2 2 1
1 1 1 1

grid_size = 4
loc_2 = [ [1, 2], [2, 1], [2, 2] ]

def find_adjacent_to(coords)
adj = []

adj << [ coords[0], coords[1] - 1] if coords[1] > 0 # left
adj << [ coords[0], coords[1] + 1] if coords[1] < grid_size # right
adj << [ coords[0 - 1], coords[1]] if coords[0] > 0 # top
adj << [ coords[0] + 1, coords[1]] if coords[0] < grid_size # bottom

adj
end

# all cells of interest are loc_2 + find_adjacent for each loc_2


This is pretty naive example but it gives you every single cell you need to work with by traversing the grid just once (to find the 2's).
All you're working with later is a specific set of coordinates being just a subset of the grid, which makes your work that much easier.

My solution:
^(b*(ab)*)*(a?)$

Also you shouldn't need to explicitly have the epsilon case when everything in your regex is optional.


This is not in line with what he stated earlier in the question. Travis marked "ababb" as acceptable and this will fail on such expression (you can't start with "a").

Here's a proper regexp for that:

^(?:(?!aa)[ab])+$

I am not familiar with the "?:" "?:". Is this language specific ?
But I think spinesheath's solution actually does work

for ababb he sees

(b*(ab*))

which he uses to construct abab

but outside of (b*(ab)*) we have another * (you may have missed this)

so we run through again (b*(ab)*) again to get our final b

and then have ababb

"?:" is a non-capturing group in the regex (when you want to know if it matches but don't care about the result). "?!" is negative look ahead (in the regex I posted it allows any combination of letters "a" and "b" as long as there are no 2+ letters "a" adjacent to each other).

No offence but
^(?:(?!aa)[ab])+$
...

1. it is not obvious why it should be equivalent to the NFA,
2. in fact it is not equivalent, the empty string is acceptable in the NFA but not in the regex,
3. it uses uncommon regex features, the ?! part
4. it does things that are not required: nothing about capturing group was mentioned in the question
5. the ?! has performance issue because of the lookahead backtrack

I fail to see why my regex wouldn't match ababb. Especially since an online regex tester confirms it does.
I'm fairly confident that stuff like negative lookahead is not really a topic in university at that level (or any level at all). As far as I know it is not part of the formal definition of regex.

Also I need to play more regex golf. (b|ab)*a? is so clean and honestly, it should have been obvious.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Haha, yeah. I'm way over my head with regexes lately. Still trying to figure out the best way to validate allowed path and filenames on Windows with it without much success, there's so many conditions that I keep running into catastrophic backtrace with strings that are > 12 characters long and have failing condition at the end.

The problem with this regex is that it allows multiples of "a" in succession (and I thought the goal was not to allow them).

Is it possible with cmake to have multiple independant executables with different names? I have a folder of very small files where I like to try things out (think less then 1k loc) and I'd really like to not have to organise this disaster.

Hmm ... no it doesn't... Besides, the goal is not to avoid multiple "a" in succession but to translate the NFA.

Well, the NFA doesn't allow multiple "a"s in succession...

Anyway, spinesheath got by far the most elegant solution (and it was really obvious). I was wondering where the hell you guys found the problem, but I just figured out that travis had an image link that I had clicked on, but didn't open properly on my phone.

Does anyone have experience with PyQt exit codes? I am running PyQt5 and python 3.6.2 and my app crashes with some exit codes like: "Process finished with exit code 3" not usual python traceback info. This makes it really hard to debug since i cant find any explantion for those codes.

I think this is PyQt thing and the only solution i found on net is overwriting exeption handler.
Any ideas?

Don't use PyQT, but seems this is relevant: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33736819/pyqt-no-error-msg-traceback-on-exit

Have you tried just putting your entire script between try catch and printing the exception and callback? Reading this seems like PyQT treats this as a last resource if the exception isn't being handled, and exits with an information-less error code.

Yeah i found this also. I think i will try to run line by line and if that doesnt help try override sys.execpthook. Still there is number provided in that exit process message (its 0 for example if application finish without errors), so i wondered if anyone knows what 3 stands for in my example, thats probably some group of errors. Knowning that could probably help me a lot.

Completely unrelated:


module Api::V1::Media::JobProcessingService
def self.find_all_processes_for_job(job)
subquery = Api::V1::Media::Process.select(:id).where(
process_step_id: Api::V1::Media::ProcessStep.select(:id).where(
job_id: job.id
)
)

query = lambda { |model|
model
.joins(process: :process_step)
.select("#{model.table_name}.*, api_v1_media_process_steps.position")
.where(process_id: subquery)
.order('api_v1_media_process_steps.position ASC')
}

{
automated_processes: query.call(Api::V1::Media::AutomatedProcess),
manual_processes: query.call(Api::V1::Media::ManualProcess)
}
end
end


Resulting query (code returns objects):

SELECT api_v1_media_automated_processes.*, api_v1_media_process_steps.position
FROM "api_v1_media_automated_processes"
INNER JOIN "api_v1_media_processes" ON "api_v1_media_processes"."id" = "api_v1_media_automated_processes"."process_id"
INNER JOIN "api_v1_media_process_steps" ON "api_v1_media_process_steps"."id" = "api_v1_media_processes"."process_step_id"
WHERE "api_v1_media_automated_processes"."process_id" IN (
SELECT "api_v1_media_processes"."id"
FROM "api_v1_media_processes"
WHERE "api_v1_media_processes"."process_step_id" IN (
SELECT "api_v1_media_process_steps"."id"
FROM "api_v1_media_process_steps"
WHERE "api_v1_media_process_steps"."job_id" = $1
)
)
ORDER BY api_v1_media_process_steps.position ASC
