I definitely haven't stuck with Java that long! Only started programming in Java at the start of the summer. Before that I did a *little* bit of LISP. My experience thus far has been to to get up and...
Thanks for the advice grumpy. This point in particular:
I was advised this in my first thread here! Since then I haven't touched Java. I get what you mean with regard to C++ and Java (the...
@ manasij7479 Great. Thanks for the extra advice re: data structures and algorithms :) I'm working on this aspect too. I'm dividing my time between learning the language(s) and discrete mathematics...
Yay or nay? I've been learning C for the past month or so and now I want to continue where I left off with Java and continue learning both. Is this a bad idea from your experience?
Cheers
BIOS...
Sweet. Hopefully by this time tomorrow all will be clear! Thanks again for the help and advice. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Anduril! Much appreciated. I haven't traced it by hand yet. Just being reading it over and over and trying to follow the flow mentally. I don't as such have a process for when I...
I'm still having difficulty following the program flow in the above code within the getop/getch/ungetch functions. Can someone help me out here? For example, what is the program flow (computation...
Sweet thanks! That explanation is alot clearer.
Cheers.

Hope fully someone can help me with this one! I can't get my head around one crucial part. Here is the full code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#define MAXOP 100
#define NUMBER '0'...
I mostly agree with your position on this MK27. What would make the whole cross posting thing easier to digest would be the motivations of the poster. I think, for example, it can be productive if...
That's a great point regarding abstract data types and also opting for a K&R style reference for each language. These books are expensive so making redundant purchases is not good! Thanks for the...
His books seem to have a good reputation. I'm just wondering how redundant a move it would be to get say Data Structures and Analysis in Java? Hmmm....
Sweet. I was hoping this would be the case. Can't wait to start reading it. Also on the topic of books like this, they don't give the solutions manuals to anyone but certified course instructors....
Ha touche. Seems to be a mix of the two. The text speak is rather less excusable.
"English is not my native language; please excuse typing errors." is what i inferred.
Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C.
Just picked up a copy of this! :)
Anyone else been through it?
I'm wondering whether I should wait until after I finish K&R or use both...
Haha. Blame Kernighan and Ritchie. It's their code! :P
@Anduril462 thanks for the explanation.
Re: use of swap. It's taken from the C programming language 2nd ed. Nothing intentional on my...
Yep. There are three loops in the code example. The second one contains the i increment.
Well it controls how often the j loop executes i.e. it will always ensure the j loop executes at least...
Must agree about this forum! It's great! People are very knowledgeable and helpful. I've learned alot in the short time since I joined. + 1 on the programming projects. That's why i'm keen to learn...
Today I studied the following shell sort code:
void shellsort(int v[], int n)
{
int gap, i, j, temp;
for (gap = n/2; gap > 0; gap /= 2)
for(i = gap; i < n; i++)
for (j=i-gap; j>=...
@Adak wow thanks for the lengthy reply and sharing your wisdom. Much appreciated! Can you recommend some of your favourite comp sci books or particular ones you found useful in your learning? Also...
Nice! This was a nice coding exercise actually :)
Having delved into quite a few of the threads on here relative to what I am studying, I've encountered quite a few very interesting programming concepts that seem to be standard. My background is not...
Gotcha. Thanks for the pointers ;)
