thanks a lot david,
one of the above links helped me to understand many interesting points.
and the logic worked for some of hte examples, so far i have tested.

the logic should work quite well. I haven't gone through most of the links, but I checked a few of them. I am not sure what you need the answer for, but it would be wise to clarify that your answer is for a spherical Earth not an ellipsoidal model. At least the ones I followed so far assume a spherical earth. This is a decent approximation, but again, it depends on what you are trying to do. No answer will be exactly right because even an ellipsoidal model is an approximate surface. The true surface is mapped in elevation points to the geoid.

You probably know that the "standard distance" for 1 nautical mile is 6076.115 feet. And that 1 degree of latitude is 60 Nautical miles (NM). There is no "standard" for longitude since it is wider at the equator and they all conjoin at the poles to zero distance. I think there is a formula for determining the length of 1 degree of longitude based on the latitude where the longitude is taken, but don't know it offhand. If you are somewhere in the range of 30 to 60 degrees latitude, the "standard distance" formula will get you close to the correct distance between two points.

the easiest way to do it (assuming spherical earth)is to convert the lat-lon values into X-Y-Z values.
The center of the earth is (0,0,0),
the intersection of the prime meridian and the equator is (R,0,0)
lat 0, lon +90 is (0,R,0),
the north pole is (0,0,R)
the south pole is (0,0,-R)
where R = radius of earth
to go from lat lon to x y z is:
x = R * Cos(lon) * Cos(lat)
y = R * Sin(Lon) * Cos(lat)
z = R * Sin(lat)
You do that for point 1 and point 2, then determine the distance between them (straight line)
x' = x2-x1
y' = y2-y1
z' = z2-z1
d = sqrt((x'*x')+(y'*y')+(z'*z'))
One half of the angle from point 1 to point 2 is
a = ArcSin(d/2R)
to get the great circle distance take this angle (in radians), double it to get the actual angle, them multiply if by the radius of the earth
D = 2 * a * R
where D is the distance you are looking for.

Hello everybody,
I'm a newcomer.
I intend to share my knowledge about chinese chess (or xiangqi), programmed for computers to play, especially in artificial intelligence domain. I've made a quite good program.
I wonder whether it is welcomed ot not.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Write an article about your program and offer it in the form of source code for people to look at. Take it from there

Thank you, I think all I have to do now is spending time to prepare my very first acticle.
But could you show me a way to put a mass of over 4300 lines of code into an acticle and explaining hundreds of exciting points. It may take over a hundred pages. Suggest me a way to prune it off. Can I break it into several parts and show them one by one.
Help me. Thanks.

You don't. You have your source and project in a zip file for people to download on the CP server.

Look around at the general interest that people have around here, and just pick the top 3 to 5 pieces that might be really useful.

Assuming you are wanting the article's body to contain that much code, don't even go there. Supporting code should be in an attached (zip) file. You can certainly have code in the article's body, but it should be limited, and only to highlight important points, not just to take up room. You may lose a lot of potential readers when they are presented with pages full of code.

Yes, several CP members have done just that for large subjects.

Sounds like homework, so no help here.

I don't quite get your question so I can't help.

What's wrong with helping people with homework as long as it is not the "can you do my project for me type of questions"? As long as their question is specific and is asking how to do something and not for the code itself why not?

Nothing is wrong with it, provided that it isn't asking for someone to do the work.
In this case, I think the problem is that the theory behind how to do a post-order and in-order traversal of a tree should have been covered in class before giving the assignment.

This definately sounds like a homework problem and the theory behind how to do a pre-order and post-order traversal should have been covered in class. You can try looking here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-order_traversal[^] for more conceptual information, but no one here is going to just give you the code.

Hi dear reader. I did symmetric key data encryption and decryption algorithms, which are focused on small one byte for encrypting and output sixteen bytes for decryption, ready but problem is that i could not checked it my strength of the algorithm yet because of the not sure the criteria of the measurements for cryptography and algorithm as well. I hope a professional person,who are good the cryptography or got expensive experience of at this area, can help me to resolve my problem and can advice what i to do that is better. Help me please?
Thank you

it should measure the strength of the algorithm by measure the criteria of your algorithm.
Take my advice
1. the algorithm should implement it and check the speed of your program. the program should run in high speed time to avoid the atacker to attack your application....this is first criteria.
2. the data model who want to secure it should be consistent to be insure that your algoeith work correctly.
3. analyze the cost of the algoeith also good
4. ask the mathmatical person for another criterias measure criteria because the speed only not enough.
researcher need advice

Perhaps the Usenet group sci.crypt[^] will prove to be a better resource for you.

Oh thanks dear. This paper is important for me and published ready before ten years ago. Is the criteria of measurement for the cryptography in this paper still same with nowadays criteria?
