  • How to compute palindrome from a stream of characters in sub-linear space/time?

    - by wrick
    I don't even know if a solution exists or not. Here is the problem in detail. You are a program that is accepting an infinitely long stream of characters (for simplicity you can assume characters are either 1 or 0). At any point, I can stop the stream (let's say after N characters were passed through) and ask you if the string received so far is a palindrome or not. How can you do this using less sub-linear space and/or time.

  • I know my Before Tax Pay and my After Tax Pay, how can I work out how much I get taxed?

    - by Pete
    I've been entering some data into an Excel spreadsheet to work out my monthly earnings, etc. and was wondering how I can I find out how much I'm getting taxed? Say this is my current spreadsheet: Hours Worked 37.5 39.5 37.5 30 Hourly Rate $25 $25 $25 $25 Before Tax 937.50 987.50 937.50 750.00 After Tax 260.00 276.00 260.00 ??? How can I use this known data to work out my After Tax pay for the 4th column? :/

  • Fast dot product for a very special case

    - by psihodelia
    Given a vector X of size L, where every scalar element of X is from a binary set {0,1}, it is to find a dot product z=dot(X,Y) if vector Y of size L consists of the integer-valued elements. I suggest, there must exist a very fast way to do it. Let's say we have L=4; X[L]={1, 0, 0, 1}; Y[L]={-4, 2, 1, 0} and we have to find z=X[0]*Y[0] + X[1]*Y[1] + X[2]*Y[2] + X[3]*Y[3] (which in this case will give us -4). It is obvious that X can be represented using binary digits, e.g. an integer type int32 for L=32. Then, all what we have to do is to find a dot product of this integer with an array of 32 integers. Do you have any idea or suggestions how to do it very fast?

  • Writing shorter code/algorithms, is more efficient (performance)?

    - by Carlos
    After coming across the code golf trivia around the site it is obvious people try to find ways to write code and algorithms as short as the possibly can in terms of characters, lines and total size, even if that means writing something like: n=input() while n>1:n=(n/2,n*3+1)[n%2];print n So as a beginner I start to wonder whether size actually matters :D. It is obviously a very subjective question highly dependent on the actual code being used, but what is the rule of thumb in the real world. In the case that size wont matter, how come then we don't focus more on performance rather than size?

  • Find numbers that equals a sum in an array

    - by valli-R
    I want to find the first set of integers in an array X that the sum equals a given number N. For example: X = {5, 13, 24, 9, 3, 3} N = 28 Solution = {13, 9, 3, 3} Here what I have so far : WARNING, I know it uses global and it is bad,that's not the point of the question. <?php function s($index = 0, $total = 0, $solution = '') { global $numbers; global $sum; echo $index; if($total == 28) { echo '<br/>'.$solution.' = '.$sum.'<br/>'; } elseif($index < count($numbers) && $total != 28) { s($index + 1, $total, $solution); s($index + 1, $total + $numbers[$index], $solution.' '.$numbers[$index]); } } $numbers = array(5, 13, 24, 9, 3, 3); $sum = 28; s(); ?> I don't get how I can stop the process when it finds the solution.. I know I am not far from good solution.. Thanks in advance

  • Algorithm for sentence analysis and tokenization

    - by Andrea Nagar
    I need to analyze a document and compile statistics as to how many times each a sequence of words is used (so the analysis is not on single words but of batch of recurring words). I read that compression algorithms do something similar to what I want - creating dictionaries of blocks of text with a piece of information reporting its frequency. It should be something similar to http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/Patterns.aspx Do you have anything written in C#?

  • longest common subsequence

    - by davit-datuashvili
    i have following code public class LCS1 { public static String lcs(String a,String b) { String x; String y; int alen=a.length(); int blen=b.length(); if (alen==0 || blen==0) { return ""; } else if (a.charAt(alen-1)==b.charAt(blen-1)) { return lcs(a.substring(0,alen-1),b.substring(0,blen-1)); } else { x=lcs(a,b.substring(0,blen-1)); y=lcs(a.substring(0,alen-1),b); } return (x.length()>y.length()) ? x : y; } public static void main(String[]args){ String a="computer"; String b="houseboat"; System.out.println(lcs(a,b)); } } it should return "out" but returns nothing what is problem?

  • How does the Ableton warp algorithm work exactly?

    - by pepperdreamteam
    I'm looking for any documentation or definitive information on Ableton's warp feature. I understand that it has something to do with finding transients, aligning them with an even rhythm and shifting audio samples accordingly. I'm hoping to find ways to approximate warping with more basic audio editing tools. I understand that this is ableton's unique device, really any information about how it works would be helpful. So...does anyone have any 411?

  • Is incrementing in a loop exponential time?

    - by user356106
    I've a simple but confusing doubt about whether the program below runs in exponential time. The question is : given a +ve integer as input, print it out. The catch is that you deliberately do this in a loop, like this: int input,output=0; cininput; while(input--) ++output; // Takes time proportional to the value of input cout<< output; I'm claiming that this problem runs in exponential time. Because, the moment you increase the # of bits in input by 1, the program takes double the amount of time to execute. Put another way, to print out log2(input) bits, it takes O(input) time. Is this reasoning right?

  • Where can I find soft-multiply and divide algorithms?

    - by srking
    I'm working on a micro-controller without hardware multiply and divide. I need to cook up software algorithms for these basic operations that are a nice balance of compact size and efficiency. My C compiler port will employ these algos, not the the C developers themselves. My google-fu is so far turning up mostly noise on this topic. Can anyone point me to something informative? I can use add/sub and shift instructions. Table lookup based algos might also work for me, but I'm a bit worried about cramming so much into the compiler's back-end...um, so to speak. Thanks!

  • Whats the best data-structure for storing 2-tuple (a, b) which support adding, deleting tuples and c

    - by bhups
    Hi So here is my problem. I want to store 2-tuple (key, val) and want to perform following operations: - keys are strings and values are Integers - multiple keys can have same value - adding new tuples - updating any key with new value (any new value or updated value is greater than the previous one, like timestamps) - fetching all the keys with values less than or greater than given value - deleting tuples. Hash seems to be the obvious choice for updating the key's value but then lookups via values will be going to take longer (O(n)). The other option is balanced binary search tree with key and value switched. So now lookups via values will be fast (O(lg(n))) but updating a key will take (O(n)). So is there any data-structure which can be used to address these issues? Thanks.

  • C++ priority queue structure used ?

    - by John Retallack
    While searching for some functions in C++ STL documentation I read that push and pop for priority queues needs constant time. "Constant (in the priority_queue). Although notice that push_heap operates in logarithmic time." My question is what kind of data structure is used to mantain a priority queue with O(1) for push and pop ?

  • Operations on bytes in C#

    - by Hooch
    Hello. I'm writing application to control LEDS on LPT. I have everything working except this. This is one small function. I have sth like that: I want to build function that will take two argument and return one number: In actual code those binary numers will be in hex. I put them there like that so that it's easier for you to visualize it. Example1: arg1 = 1100 1100 arg2 = 1001 0001 retu = 0100 1100 Example2: arg1 = 1111 1111 arg2 = 0001 0010 retu = 1110 1101 Example3: arg1 = 1111 0000 arg2 = 0010 0010 retu = 1101 0000 I have no idea how this function should look like. I want it to be as fast as possible. I'll call this function 200 times per second.

  • Searching algorithmics: Parsing and processing a request

    - by James P.
    Say you were to create a search engine that can accept a query statement under the form of a String. The statement can be used to retrieve different types of objects with a given set of characteristics and possibly linked to other objects. In plain english or pseudo-code using an OOP approach, how would you go about parsing and processing statements as follows to get the series of desired objects ? get fruit with colour green get variety of apples, pears from Andy get strawberry with colour "deep red" and origin not Spain get total of sales of melons between 2010-10-10 and 2010-12-30 get last deliverydate of bananas from "Pete" and state not sold Hope the question is clear. If not I'll be more than happy to reformulate. P.S: This isn't homework ;)

  • Why can't RB-Tree be a list?

    - by Alex
    Hey everyone. I have a problem with the rb-trees. according to wikipedia, rb-tree needs to follow the following: A node is either red or black. The root is black. (This rule is used in some definitions and not others. Since the root can always be changed from red to black but not necessarily vice-versa this rule has little effect on analysis.) All leaves are black. Both children of every red node are black. Every simple path from a given node to any of its descendant leaves contains the same number of black nodes. As we know, an rb-tree needs to be balanced and has the height of O(log(n)). But, if we insert an increasing series of numbers (1,2,3,4,5...) and theoretically we will get a tree that will look like a list and will have the height of O(n) with all its nodes black, which doesn't contradict the rb-tree properties mentioned above. So, where am I wrong?? thanks.

  • Is there a good radixsort-implementation for floats in C#

    - by CommuSoft
    I have a datastructure with a field of the float-type. A collection of these structures needs to be sorted by the value of the float. Is there a radix-sort implementation for this. If there isn't, is there a fast way to access the exponent, the sign and the mantissa. Because if you sort the floats first on mantissa, exponent, and on exponent the last time. You sort floats in O(n).
