Occasionally a programmer loves to play with numbers. Some like to stick gum in their sister's hair, but that is besides the point. At the heart of some programming is the heart of mathematics and especially number theory. One of the great theoretical algorithms out there is the Extended Euclidean algorithm which is used to find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD). The GCD is a number which divides both of ...
WARNING: PLEASE USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION! CONTENTS MAY BE FUNNY BUT NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE. Programmer Discretion is Advised! Hey you bozos out there, now there is a sort even for you! For those who don't know, a Bozo Sort is a joke sorting algorithm that actually sorts but at horrible timing and is very inefficient. It is good to see it at work from a theoretical stand point but it ...
Who doesn't like graph theory? Come on... it is the foundation of all living beings! Ok maybe not but it is still a bit interesting from a theoretical standpoint. Graph theory is the study of graphs and their relationships between points on that graph and their overall collection. It is often made up of vertexes (aka nodes) and the connections between them known as edges. Linked together they form a ...
Now dip the wand into the soap and take it back out, blow gently and voila! Your integer array is sorted! Wow, only if it was that easy huh? Well it can be with a simple straight forward demonstration of bubblesorting. In this entry I will attempt to quickly show you a simple bubblesort you can do at home and in your own projects. It may even help you pass ...
Amortization... it is the process of accounting for, and usually decreasing, an amount of money over a period of time. You can amortize a mortgage or various types of loans, and you can amortize assets based on their value and what their value will be in so many periods of time. Many newbies on our boards have asked about this very project as part of the computer science courses and ...
