windows programming

Name: Anonymous 2008-11-09 6:23

i read SICP, learned haskell, and have now realized that in order to get a real job i need to learn some windows programming. nobody will hire you just because you understand loeb.

what's the best languages that are used today?

You have 3 lamps and 3 switches connected to the lamps. Each lamp represents a different number. Lamp #1 = A, lamp #2 = B, lamp #3 = C, where A, B, C are integers (positive, zero or negative.) The 3 switches are labelled switch #1, switch #2 and switch #3, and can be turn

Suppose there is a target number called T.
Design an algorithm to find a subset of switches which, when turned on, will produce a set of lamps whose numbers add up to T.

* can be turned off or on.

Some pseudo-code:

1) Turn one lamp on,
2) If T == lamp then return
3) Else, try the second lamp
4) Repeat 2-3 until solution is found

Forget it, it's NP-complete

Uh, no... it isn't. Do you even know what NP-Complete means?

Not sure if this is a troll, but >>43's algorithm will find the solution deterministically. I suspect >>44 and >>45 are the same people, and that we have been trolled constantly.

No it won't.  Depending on the wording, it either never turns lamps off, or only turns one on at a time.

>>41's problem is essentially a description of the subset-sum problem, which is known to be in NP-Complete. I'm not sure why MSFT would ask that, unless they wanted to separate the CS-nerds from the IT applicants.

It really is NP-complete.
Habeeb it

It is not NP-Complete. There are only 3 lamps, each with 2 possible values. We need only check 23 combinations. This problem has a constant size; the generalization reduces to subset-sum and is NP-Complete.

There are more than one, you worthless pedant.

The question is asking for a generalized solution to the problem. In which case no such solution exists. If it's okay with you mate, I might just as you to not respond to this thread anymore, OK?

No it isn't.
In which case no such solution exists.
Yes it does. Simply check all 2n combinations of lamps.

A=1
B=2
C=4

T=9001

What's the solution?

No polynomial-time solution exists. Once again, I might just invite you to leave this thread.

Lamps A, B, and C should be turned on.

Looks like you have been meta-trolled.

Actually I'm used to say that being a good programmer doesn't mean know a lot of languages, but be able to understand any new programming language in a few days...

However there's an important thing to keep in mind: you may know a programming language, but you need to know even the platform where you are working on. So you are right.

However... programming on a Windows platform is a kind of nightmare! That's why I feel to work with java, that gives you enough abstraction to avoid the very BAD windows API.

Roma allows you to develop enterprise level Java applications with low effort following a real Domain Driven Design approach. It's a new way to conceive the application: anything is a POJO, from the GUI forms to the persistent objects.
Using the Meta-Framework approach you can integrate the latest breaking technology in your application without modifying your domain and application logic because they are really decoupled.
Roma provides you automatic support for every layer and aspect for your application, from dynamic web user interface and persistence, to report functionalities, portlet development and semantic technologies.

That's exactly why, ten years ago, I taught myself Java.  I would write Win32 of MFC GUIs for pay, but not in my own time.

I think that learning java 10 years ago has been a sort of risk. As I heard (note: I'm a very young programmer) the very first versions of java were extremely naive and sucked a lot.
