However, remember that there's no such thing as bad questions, only bad answers, and everyone's prone to giving them. No need to be upset or insult someone when they don't understand you, simply ask how you can help to further explain yourself 
Keep in mind there's not much resolution when it comes to voting on answers, it's either "good" or "bad", no in-between. There should be another button "I don't get it", "please explain" or simply "Pauline Hanson" (Australian political reference).

Downvoting is not insulting someone, its just a way to say that this is not the solution for my problem, I think CodeProject has these two buttons ("Good Answer" and "Bad Answer")just for saying that a solution is useful or not, nothing else. so dont get offended by these things, but when you say someone sounds impolite and dumb because he just didnt vote 5 to your answer is an insult or saying "you sound dumber because of using u instead of you" is impolite and im my point of view is counted as an insult. Anyway thanks to everyone who helped me on this problem, specially NickHighIQ.
Thnx

Downvoting someone does not make anyone 'impolite and dumb'. What makes anyone that is: Not explaining what's wrong with the given answer and what's actually expected. After downvoting the answer, a 'polite and intelligent' reply like "Thanks for your efforts but what I really want is..." could have made things a lot smoother for everyone.
Regarding the use of sms lingo, plz undrstnd dat dis site is read by ppl across da world, 4 many of whom English s not da 1st lang. U wud ugree dat if every1 starts using dis kinda lang then life will b hell 4 all of us. Dat's y v discourage sms lingo.
It's better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

can we please stop arguing about this downvoting?
I recieved 100 of messages but only 2 of them are the answerws to my question. I ask a question and i recieve answers, the one that helps ME will get 5 and the one that doesn't will get 1. next time i will post my questions on msdn or somewhere else, because people here are really act like elementary school students and just looking for EXTRA MARKS. Mr.PravinSingh we are not here to give each other life lessons or advices, we are here to talk about COMPUTER PROGRAMMING, and I thought this argu was over but you like to continue it. and finally that last 2.5 lines dont make any sense to me because as i remember i just used "u" instead of "you" not any of the other words that you wrote there.

I didn't mean to offend you. What I said was just a friendly advice on how you can avoid getting into useless discussions and what will fetch you more answers; it was "life lessons" as you call it. But since you don't want it, we should stop the discussion here.
I apologize for giving you unwanted advice.![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

How did you make those green code blocks with each line numbered?

Sorry mate, I replied under Luc's post - come check out the page, I've answered your question (I hope!)

This is the first random number generation method they usually teach in an introductory simulation course. Think it's called Aliasing or something like that.

Hi,
I need to find a goal given the following conditions
-I only know my 4 surroundings (N,W,S,E): they can be empty or an obstacle
-I know the goal coordinates (x,y)
-I know my coordinates
I know bug-2 (and bug-1) are complete algorithms (they always find the goal).
But it is really bad in some maps with large obstacles.
My questions are two.
1. How come there arent quick and well-known solutions to this? Ive been googling for ages and I just find theoretical papers, full of blabla and no pseudocode.
2. A* wouldnt work for this because of my first restriction, right?
Thanks

I'm sure A* would work - all it requires is to know if a neighbouring tile is walkable or not, and then a cost for moving there. (Sidenote: you could substitute this for simply assigning a cost to moving across each tile and make impassable obstacles have infinite cost?)
Anyway, here's a good A* link: http://www.policyalmanac.org/games/aStarTutorial.htm
This is 8-directional, but it will work exactly the same in 4-directional.

Hi
You can represent this as a Graph-problem(some kind of shortest path algorithm)
You can apply these restrictions while moving
1 . Trace your current path, if the new slot is in the current path ignore that to avoid a loop
2 . Mark the positions in which no further movements are possible so that we can ignore that.
3 . If we have no further move retract your move using a stack
Back-tracking may not be an optimal solution, but you can apply some restrictions to improve it
Thanks

Compression is the key; it was mentioned on the page you linked to. MPEG is JPEG for moving images. What you do is trade in a lot of bandwidth for a gigantic lot of computations, and throw away some of the information (just like JPEG does).

Right... so that in reality you get bit transfer rates in the range of 1 MBit/s (bad quality, small size high-def you tube video) up to 30-40 MBit/s (high quality streams as found on blu ray discs). Still orders of magnitude below those 44MB/s you've found out. Most availbale HD video content is compressed using the H.264/MPEG4 AVC method (go google)...

I am trying to develop a couple of applications showing data on a global map (actually one is for plotting a planetarium). The data I have is raw lat/long coordinates.
I'm new to map/GIS systems but would like to develop a system 'from scratch' without using third-party components for the calculations and rendering (It's the best way to learn).
My question is does anyone know a good source of information / a tutorial (book, web-site, etc) as an introduction to this kind of application?, preferably with examples in pseudo-code, c, c++, c# or java.
The projection algorithms seem fairly straightforward (although picking which projection to use seems to be a mine-field), but I have other questions that I would like to be able to answer such as:
- clipping and optimisation
- plotting straight lines (great circles) and how that is done in a particular projection
- checking if a point is within a complex polygon
Thanks in anticipation
Ian

all i know is that Opengl is best for 3d rendering and sdl for 2d.
if you have all the data and only need the rendering.
I personally use Tao framework(Opengl for .net framework) and SdldotNet(Handles screen rendering,keyboard and mouse input).
Tao framework and SdlDotNet both got tools to integrate 3d/2d rendering on your windows application.
All you need to know about opengl http://fly.cc.fer.hr/~unreal/theredbook/[^]

Your problem breaks down into two parts
1. Datum
This is the basic shape of the earth that is used to model the earth (or any planet). This can be very simple such as treating the earth as a sphere or more complex as a non-spherical object etc. The parameters that make up the model are the datum's, and there are many different datum's, remember there can date back hundreds of years. The most common is WGS84 as used by positioning systems such as GPS. Most modern charts are based on this datum. But not all!
The model also includes what the measurements are referenced to for example Vertical datum can be referenced to sea level at a specific location perhaps using High water springs or Neaps, or an average such as Mean High Water Springs etc!.
If you have data in one datum but are using another then welcome to a world of pain! There are various algorithms available for converting between then (such as Molendsky), check out the US NOAA web sites but accuracy varies. For some datums there are no known accurate conversions.
2. The projection - linked to the datum but deals with how a spherical object is projected on to a flat surface Mercator, Transverse Mercator (TM), Genomic, Lambert, Polar etc.
So you end up with a real mash of things including grids (UTM), military grids, grids for national co-ordinates (OS in the UK etc).
If you are not too concerned about accuracy (planetarium) i.e. working with small scale data (say an accuracy of a couple of miles). Then datums are going to be less important - and you might get away with treating the planet as a sphere!
If accuracy is required seriously think about using a third part package, or prepare for a lot of learning and re-inventing the wheel work!

hello.
i would like to get help on this book: ebook Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest - Introduction To Algorithms 2nd Edition Solutions (Instructors Manual)
i would appreciate very much if someone has a link to this or an pdf version?
THanks!
best regards.

Did you try this[^]?
It's time for a new signature.

Hi Richard, thanks. but i was referring to an pdf version, an ebook, or smth like that
best regards.
|
|

Did you actually try any of the links?
It's time for a new signature.

i guess one of the links worked

Hello,
I have some facts like:
asdf(a,b).
asdf(b,c).
asdf(c,d).
etc.
I'd like to do some function
givemelettersinvolved(L) that instantiates in L a list that contains the constants involved in those facts
for example
asdf(a,b).
asdf(b,c).
givemelettersinvolved(L) would give L = [a, b, c]
How can I make this?
I was trying with
...(L) :- asdf(A,B), member(A,L), member(B,L).
But its not working

wtf are you talkin about
anyway the answer was to use findall(X, predicate(X), List)
