EPTSay I have a class in Android, Account, instanced to represent the current user's account. This shows up everywhere. I could pass it through Intents. I could put it in a subclassed Application. I could used Shared Preferences. If we assume that just about every activity will need it what is the best approach?

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. | ||

I only glanced over day 3 and I'll probably need more than that. We'll see when I find time. | ||

If you have no troubles doing squares of 3 digit numbers in your head you can even do it without any tools. For the second part i admit i wrote a rather brute forcish solution, but unlike project euler problrms those problems here are not performance sensitive do it still solves it instantly. | ||

Is there something more elegant than drawing the whole spiral out I'm missing? I did the same for the first part (under the assumption the travel distance should be calculable for any positive index number), but ended up rewriting all new code for the second part where I just generate the spiral. I don't think a generalized sequence can be extracted from the second spiral  | ||

However part 2 is not solvable like that. So if you end up programming part 1 (which I did) you only have to do some small adjustments to finish part 2. That said my solution was rather crude. I'm not sure "30 seconds of code running" counts as "below 1 millisecond"  | ||

Joined. Thanks for pointing this out, I hadn't seen it before. I'm using Python, none of these first 4 problems were close to performance dependent enough for me to leave my comfort language. | ||

I've been reading about dependency injection for the last little bit and I fail to see how it lets me implement a session any differently than just creating a regular object would. Could you clarify that? | ||

This years flavor text: + Show Spoiler + The night before Christmas, one of Santa's Elves calls you in a panic. "The printer's broken! We can't print the Naughty or Nice List!" By the time you make it to sub-basement 17, there are only a few minutes until midnight. "We have a big problem," she says; "there must be almost fifty bugs in this system, but nothing else can print The List. Stand in this square, quick! There's no time to explain; if you can convince them to pay you in stars, you'll be able to--" She pulls a lever and the world goes blurry. When your eyes can focus again, everything seems a lot more pixelated than before. She must have sent you inside the computer! You check the system clock: 25 milliseconds until midnight. With that much time, you should be able to collect all fifty stars by December 25th. | ||

Could you clarify that? Are you unsure about dependency injection or dependency injection as it relates to scoping? Just got this Google coding challenge terminal thing in the browser, it's weird. | ||
