how would i have made it smaller i.e. not relied on 100 assignments

all it does is add a series of numbers' squares or cubes

no fancy equations allowed

did a thing in c to make sure a loop has a minimum frequency of 1 iteration per second. it seemed simple but ended up being a little involved.

Technically, I should have said "function" and not "method" in my post above.
I'm not sure how new you are, so if you had googled "methods in Python" rather than "functions in Python" you would probably have gotten slightly confusing results.

Yeah, it gets a little bit more involved when that's what one wants to do.

How much harder is upper division CS compared to lower division? I'll be transferring to a university soon.. Sort of scared that I'm not actually prepared.

>>46451299
At least at my university, they feel about as hard as the hardest lower division courses I took, but I think it's because you're more prepared for it. A lot of kids just coast by until the upper div classes without learning much and then get slammed when shit gets real. I didn't really learn much in my first couple CS classes because they were so basic and boring, and then when I got to data structures I had to teach myself a lot to catch up. Now I'm taking all upper division CS classes and I would have been so fucked for all of them if I didn't have the last quarter's experience under my belt.

tl;dr It's about the same if you actually learned things in lower div

>>46451346
Yeah I took data structs my first year and now I'm pretty much done with lower division CS work... Just doing math + chem + general eds until I go to upper division next year.

I'm probably rusty as fuck and need to refresh this summer. Thanks

>>46451346
Yeah I'm a biology major and double minor in chemistry and computer science. I graduate this semester, and made the decision to switch to a CS career too late, so I would've had to stay 2 more years to finish a CS major. I'm self taught except for the classes im taking for my minor. Gonna be scary as fuck applying for software engineer positions.

Just wrote a little program to play audio files to see how it easy it is using built-in shit.

import Cocoa

var mainPlayer:AVAudioPlayer?

println("Choose file to play")

let panel = NSOpenPanel()
panel.showsHiddenFiles = false
panel.allowsMultipleSelection = false
let clicked = panel.runModal()

if clicked == 1 {
    let url = panel.URL!
    
    var err:NSError?
    mainPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: url, error: &err)
}

mainPlayer?.prepareToPlay()
mainPlayer?.play()
CFRunLoopRun()

It's interesting to see how it's buffering the file while it's playing.

>>46452237
It's because you're doing the division on two integers, so it's done as integer division before being cast to a double.

>>46452256
I see.
How do I stop that from happening? Turn iRight and iTotal into doubles?

Trying to mess around with node. I cloned two projects from github and whenever I run node server.js, it doesn't start up the server and it goes back to the command line prompt. What the fuck am I doing wrong?

>>46452267

dRatio = ((double)iRight / (double)iTotal) * 100.0;

Also your code could easily be refactored so that you don't have all that code dplications.

>>46452387
You could use

tolower(cAnswer) == 'y'

instead of explicitly checking between both cases.

hey, how do I make abs show up on the same line as my request? say

I have this

cout << " Please enter number of cars";
cin >> car_number;
cout << abs(car_number);

this would show up with 2 inputs, the negative one and then the abs one on the next line, how do I convert the negative one for a positive on the same line?

>>46452847
>hey, how do I make abs show up on the same line as my request?
You can't with cin. It might be possible with some other input grabbing method though.

>>46453010
hmm, like? I'm just getting started on this, so I'm not too familiar with other input methods.

>>46453020
>hmm, like?
No idea, you'd have to google it or wait for someone else in this thread to know. Just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't try to waste your time trying to do it with cin though.
I guess you could theoretically clear the console and re-output all the same text to make it look like it did work as you intend though.

What the fuck is the point of abs?

Is there a way to do have something like a DllMain but still allow static linking?

>>46453075
absolute value (basically removes the sign accompanying any number)

>>46453090
Seems redundant.

>>46453075
Wanting to know the difference between 2 numbers, without having to worry about putting the larger number first in your subtraction.

abs(x - y);

>>46452545
don't know much about what you're doing or trying to do but sounds like you want to extract a surface from a point cloud

>>46453166
Give or take yes. I'm trying to triangulate a voronoi cell so I'm guaranteed its convex. I realized a few minutes ago I can just sort them along x small to large if y is less and large to small if y is greater

>>46452847
no, it show up as an input, which is negative or whatever the user typed, and an output which is the abs. you can move the console cursor back then overwrite the input, but that's pretty dumb

>>46453101
Your existence seems redundant to me.

>>46453233
yes, that is pretty dumb, because my professor wants me to exchange any negative values for positive ones when they enter a product quantity or any number.

>>46453419
Do you really understand what he wants you to do? I doubt he wants you to change what cin prints. Ask him/her.

>>46453440
He wants abs for input bruh, I'm guessing I can run a loop or something too.

>>46455387
with amount_of_faggots you have to read and parse the entire thing. amount of... what? oh faggots

with faggotAmount you immediately know by the prefix that it has to do with faggots, and the camelCase allows you to start reading Amount without reading faggot (you visually recognize the faggot prefix, you don't have to actually read 'faggot')

faggotAmount lets you press ctrl+o (or the non-eclipse equivalent) or use auto-complete and immediately have every single variable related to faggots available to you and listed in alphabetical order, and easily find things related to faggots with ctrl+f and regex

callFaggotMethod... faggotI...? faggotQ...? faggotA... faggotAmount

vs

callFaggotMethod... int_f...? quantitity_of_f...? amount_of_f... amount_of_faggots

I was trying to learn some opengl.
Trying to rotate rectangle, got it working with common lisp but for some reason my java rectangles are not rotating.
It's using gl2.

//xx and yy are bottom left coordinates of square, side length = 10
gl.glPushMatrix();
            gl.glColor3f(0f, 0f, 1f);

            gl.glTranslated(-xx-5, -yy-5, 0);

            gl.glRotatef(45f, 0f, 0f, 1f);
            gl.glVertex2d(xx, yy+10);
            gl.glVertex2d(xx +10, yy + 10);
            gl.glVertex2d(xx + 10, yy);
            gl.glVertex2d(xx, yy);
            gl.glPopMatrix();

Currently drawing 5 squares with this kind of code with adjusted translation and rotation but none of them are rotated.
Any idea why?

I made a little client/server program using sockets in C.

In my client, I have a thread for taking input and sending it to the server, and a thread for receiving messages from the server and printing them out. When I input quit, it should exit the client program and close the socket.

My problem is, when I input quit, my print thread is already waiting for a message from the server, and even though both the server and the client program close the socket, the print thread continues waiting.

Is there a good way to resolve this issue?

You shouldn't call glPushMatrix, glTranslate, or glRotate between calls to glBegin and glEnd.

Trying to make my first game. Code probably sucks. Setting up the title screen now, will switch this up to a module that I import into a main game loop afterwards. Want to know what stands out as being shit/needing to change/bad style? Currently I just have the base screen and options screen working visually. They both use very similar code, so I should probably write functions for them, but they differ enough that I think I'd need to parse in loads of list info, so not 100% how I'd do it.

Here's some:

- Put the image names in a list, then load them in a loop instead of writing pygame.image.load(..).convert_alpha() dozens of times.
- Similarly, convert the button checks to use an array instead of hardcoding them in several "if" checks. Loop over them and see which one the mouse is hovering, and replace the button_hit_list array with one variable that simply contains the number of the menu item the mouse hovers, -1 if nothing.
- Read up on state machines. inoptions/inbase can be replaced with one variable that tells what state you're in. Convert the code to use state machines now, because after you add more you end up lost in the maze of dozens of discrete state variables.

>>46457558
So what is the purpose of the API?

>>46457584
To avoid breaking the rules.

>>46457505
The first point is to reduce excessive typing. Your asset loading is basically nothing but copy-pasted code. You can reduce that to a list of files you need, and 2-line for loop, making adding new assets simple: just add the file name.

You understood the second point correctly. One variable that tells which button is selected, or -1 if nothing is.

>>46457505
>I was just doing that so they all had very clear names
Use a dictionary?

assets = { 'path'  : 'user_interface_assets/main_menu'
         , 'images': ['newgame', 'continue', 'load', 'gallery', 'options', 'exit']
         , 'types' : ['normal', 'hover', 'click']
         }

button = {}
for image in assets['images']:
    button[image] = {}
    for type in assets['types']:
        file = '{0}/{1}_{2}.png'.format(assets['path'], image, type)
        button[image][type] = pygame.image.load(file)

basically I'm wondering what I should be looking for to pull different .html files out of an array in php (I know, I know, it's for a project and I can't use javascript, which itself I also hate) I was thinking

 
<functionname> = rand(all.html, these.html, different.html, html.html, files.html, in.html, an.html, array.html)
echo: <functionname>

but lack the server required to test this at my current facility.

>>46458117
For large sets it can be slow.

>>46458050
>>46458117
Incidentally, I've only been programming for ~1 year. I've pretty much ignored most of the theory in favour of learning to actually do shit. Any recommendations going forward wrt that? I'm getting to the point where it is actually hindering my now and then. Python is my only language if it matters.

>>46458117
O(log n) by itself doesn't mean much nowadays unless you're Facebook or Google.
The constant time is important. If you're trashing the cache, you'll run hundreds of times slower than a naive O(n) implementation.

Do people here use an IDE or just a simple text editor to program? I've always used an IDE but the way /g/ goes on about how great vim is makes me want to give it a try but it just seems like it be an inconvenience to use something like that especially when dealing with large programs with many classes.

>>46458510

You can traverse a dictionary in constant time.

>>46458585
You obviously can't. Just think for a second before posting.

>>46458585
>traverse
> constant time.
If you had the same amount of processors as dictionary entries maybe.

I use Emacs, and I don't think it's fair to call it "a simple text editor." Emacs can be used as a full IDE with packages like CEDET and ECB.

>Emacs already is a great environment for writing software, but there are additional areas that need improvement. Many new ideas for integrated environments have been developed in newer products, such as Microsoft's Visual environment, JBuilder, or Eclipse. CEDET is a project which implements several advanced features developers have come to expect from an Editor.

I don't know about Vim though, I would assume they have an equivalent.

>>46458671
Dictionaries are not friendly to traverse at all because they are generally not designed for it, if it's hash based for example the goals of a good hash function is completely at odds with predictable traversal.

>>46457584
any idea what hes talking about? ill avoid breaking rules if i can but im tryina fuck with python not Json

Can somebody please explain to me in simple terms what is a shim and how and why do I use it.

>>46458800
json is dead simple to use in python. It's effectively used just like a dictionary.

>>46458658
>Something with actual code?
There's no code involved. It's math.

x=O(y) means that you can always find a C so that for a sufficiently big n, Cy > x.
That is, y "grows" as fast or faster than x.

So log n = O (log n) and log n = O(n)
But n*n != O(n) and n*n != O(log n)

So if you want to be a pedantic faggot, when asked for the complexity, you can just say that it's O(infinite), that's technically always right.

>>46458828
You missed the point.

I know what it represents.

I don't know how to determine what any particular piece of code runs at. Hence the want for examples.

import json
fList = json.loads(page[script+18:endScript+1])
images = fList['items'] #example

Sorry, it's straight out of something I wrote ages ago. But after that you access it (fList in the case above) just like you would a dictionary.

>>46458856
Just look at your algo and try to look at how many operations it will do in the worst possible case.

Example of searching a needle in a haystack of n elements :

for (value(n) in haystack) {
if (value(n) = needle)
    return value(n);
}

^ This will search the whole haystack element by element for the needle.
There are n elements, so in the worst case you'll do n operations. Therefore, it's O(n).

I realize that I'm wasting my time with you, but at least I tried.

In that case, you need to work on phrasing. That sentence makes it seem like you are blaming the other party.

>>46458812
Let's say you have some software that needs to be ported to two platforms. Your code needs access to aes encryption. Platform A has an aes function that looks like this

aes_encrypt(key, ciphertext, plaintext)

and platform B has a function that looks like this

encryptAES(ciphertext, plaintext, key)

You can use a shim that will iron over platform differences

myaes(key, ciphertext, plaintext)

On platform A, the function body can be

myaes(key, ciphertext, plaintext) { aes_encrypt(key, ciphertext, plaintext); }

and on platform B it can be

myaes(key, ciphertext, plaintext) { encryptAES(ciphertext, plaintext, key); }

That way, you won't have to rewrite your code for each platform.

>>46458658
It statistically describes the way your algo will work for large extent runs.
One function can be O(n), the other one O(log(n)), ect...
It help to structure your code and optimize it.

Or maybe that's just a geek thing...

>It statistically describes the way your algo will work for large extent runs.
Not really. Most of the time it describes how your algo will work in the worst case.

>>46459020
It adds an extra function call as I wrote it I guess.

>>46459065
Never inline yourself. Good compilers will ignore you and do their own inlineing anyways, but it's still bad practice without a very solid profile showing that it's a good idea.

>>46459080
Yep, but isn't the shim function? Isn't it better to rewrite the code?

>>46458963
this could be fun working with, im glad that hidden mod was getting angry.

>>46459152
Easier than scraping. Incidently in the code I showed, json was embedded in the page, so I had to load the page then scrape the json out of it.

page[script+18:endScript+1]

So page was, well the actual page. script and endScript were the locations that I searched for and the integers were offsets so it would encompass the entirety of the json data.

>>46459141
Sometimes you can't/don't want to. Imagine rewriting/reordering system libraries across all platforms, or using a preprocessor to select the right function. It can get pretty messy.

for(int a = 1; a < n; ++a)
    for(int b = 1; b < n; ++b)
        for(int c = 1; c < n; ++c)
            if(a * a + b * b = c * c) //pythagorean triple found

pythagorean triples can be found in O(n^2) time, this O(n^3) algorithm is just a simple example.

>>46459696
*should be c <= n instead of c < n

Now it does compile, but does not work at all...

print ('ax2+bx+c=0')
a = int(input('a: '))
b = int(input('b: '))
c = int(input('c: '))
delta = b**2-4*a*c
if delta > 0:
x1 = (-b-delta**(1/2))/(2*a)
x2 = (-b+delta**(1/2))/(2*a)
print ('x1 ='), x1 , (', x2 ='), x2
elif delta == 0:
x0 = -b/(2*a)
print ('x0 = '), x0
else:
print ('lack of solutions')

>>46459721
Use code tags, newfriend.

This isn't fucking stackoverflow.

If one vertex has multiple texture coordinates I should just treat it as multiple vertices
y/n

Better?

print ('ax2+bx+c=0')
a = int(input('a: '))
b = int(input('b: '))
c = int(input('c: '))
delta = b**2-4*a*c
if delta > 0:
    x1 = (-b-delta**(1/2))/(2*a)
    x2 = (-b+delta**(1/2))/(2*a)
    print ('x1 ='), x1 , (', x2 ='), x2
elif delta == 0:
    x0 = -b/(2*a)
    print ('x0 = '), x0
else:
    print ('lack of solutions')

>>46459696
>if(a * a + b * b = c * c)
whoops, should be == instead of =
but you get the point

>>46459757
Yes.

>>46459757
Yes. Modern GPUs have enough memory, you can duplicate vertices if needed. Trying to "optimize" this will usually lead to worse performance. GPUs are basically just dumb brute-force devices, clever optimization tricks don't always play well with them.

>>46459774
You have to put a single pair of parenthesis around all of the arguments together, just like you would for a normal function.

So,

print ('x1 ='), x1 , (', x2 ='), x2

should be

print('x1 =', x1, 'x2 =', x2)

.

It's also kind of weird to have a space between the function name and the parenthesis after it.

>>46458959
Done it too. Was fun.

import random
StrRand = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

n = int(input('Length?\n'))

delta = [random.choice(StrRand) for j in range(n)] 
print(''.join(delta))

Yours doesn't have 7 different possible states though, that is what the bulk of my code is handling.

Are you hard-coding the data?

is that acceptable

>>46460191
I'm using some files my friend gave me

I wonder if you lot might know a formula I'm trying to remember. It's the probability of getting some number of objects in a set in some state when the states have different probabilities. I thought it might be something like nCr * r^p * (n-r)^(1-p) where p is the probability, but that's returning results greater than one, like its the number of combinations for that macrostate.

>>46460225
Most 3D file formats are already in the correct order. Which one is it?

>>46460207
That depends. You might actually lose performance due to icache misses introduced by all the new functions that implement your data structure.

If you care about performance, you keep your code small, you use arrays, and you traverse them in a predictable fashion.

hey guys, how I make a loop that tells the USER to input integers only and no characters?

I wanna do a while loop

so
while (coming_int = ???)

the question mark is where I'm stuck. I don't know what I can put on there to include all characters, do I just make it equal to char? I'm confused on this part.

if the user inputs abdcd, then he should be sent back with a warning specifying for whole numbers only.

>>46460314
while (coming_int < '0' || coming_int > '9')

learn about ascii

>>46460314
Depends on the language. If it's java, for example, you try to convert the input to an int using the Integer wrapper class, and catch the exception thrown by it if the input isn't an int. Put this inside a loop until a proper input comes in.

I can post a snippet if you'd like.

Where can i find some tutorial for python3, to not post stupid codes liek that?
Why it does not work this time?

print('Check your age')
age = int(input('Age: '))
if age < 12:
    print('You old piece of shit')
    elif age > 18:
    print('tfw you are no longer kid')
    else:
        print('youngster')

>>46460363
i'm trying this out in C++.

convert input to an int? what if I declare coming_int as an int though?

>>46460260
I don't think you understand the problem
I have 60 positions and 66 texture coordinates
I have to define the vertex data for each unique position/texcoord combination necessary and know where each combination is indexed so I can define the faces properly

I was using fbx but I gave up after trying to parse a 17KB file that defined a fucking cube

>>46460390
Check your indents. Yah, muh whitespace.
Shift else and elif at the same level as if.

>>46460390
indentation is important

Check your age

tfw you are no longer kid
Check your age

Check your age

ok

Also, look at your indentation.

im suppose to write a program that does this:

1. think of a postive number
2. subtract the sum of the DIGITS of this number from the orignial number
3.If you tell me all but 1 digit from this new number, i can tell you which digit you did not tell me
4. Enter in any order the digits and i will tell u which one u did not tell me

I tried doing this on paper but i can never find the missing digit. is there some algorithm to find missing number?

>>46460363
oh yea, please post a snippet.

>>46460390

print('Check your age')
age = int(input('Age: '))
if age < 12: print('You old piece of shit')
elif age > 18: print('tfw you are no longer kid')
else: print('youngster')

No need to indent for one line codes.

>>46460433
.fbx is proprietary, you need to use a library.

Why don't you have triangle data?

>>46459757
You should just treat it as multiple tex coords, you just pass another set of coordinates to the fragment shader.

>>46460499
but if vertecies have varying numbers of texcoords then it would cause branching in behavior

>>46460474
Shit son, you have to write a program that thinks ? Good luck with that one

>>46460474

guess == first_digit ? second_digit : first_digit

>>46460433
Using texture coordinates to determine faces or geometry doesn't make any sense.
If you have more tex coords than vertices then that usually indicates multiple textures to be blended, static light/shadow mapping or things like masked blitting.

>>46458856
>>46458658
I'm going to try giving this a shot here, because this is how I came to understand at least one way of spotting it, and that's nested loops.

First, have some python code

n = 3
for i in range(n):
    for j in range(n):
        do some shit to i and j

Okay, so this code, regardless of what you're doing to i and j, is at least O(n^2)
Now we have to ask ourselves why is it O(n^2)
The answer is surprisingly simple.
i has the values 0,1,2 j also has the values 0,1,2
so the first time through the loop, we'd have i=0, j=0, second i=0,j=1, etc. Formatted into a square so that we can see all the possible values easily

00 01 02
10 11 12
20 21 22

We have nine combinations that we would have to go through for n=3, we would have 16 for n=4, 25 for n=5, etc. You should be able to find out what the big O notation is for pretty much any program from this.

>>46460608
>If you have more tex coords than vertices then that usually indicates multiple textures to be blended, static light/shadow mapping or things like masked blitting.

Or, you know, a vertex with shared faces.

I know it's proprietary, but will not gonna tie my program with the FBX SDK
I have a list of positions, texcoords, normals, and three pos/tex/norm indecies defining each triangle

>>46460295
but it's true. GPUs have gigabytes of memory and a vertex only takes up some bytes. and you can't optimize for GPUs like you would with a CPU, you definitely want to avoid divergent branching, so just blast it whatever you've got.

>>46460608
I have the faces
It's just if a face uses a given vertex position, another face using the same vertex position may have a different texcoord associated with that position
How fucking hard is this to understand

>>46460422
>>46460477
Ok, there's two ways to do it actually. I don't really know C++, but at least in Java this is how you do it:

    int option;
        boolean success;
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

            do {
                try {
                    option = in.nextInt();
                    success = true;
                } catch(InputMismatchException e) {
                    success = false;
                } finally {
                    in.nextLine();
                }
            } while(success == false);

And then there's using the Integer wrapper class, which is basically the same except you try to use Integer.parseInt(whatever), and which throws NumberFormatException if it fails to parse the int. Why use this second way, you might ask? I honestly can't think of any case where it's better right now.

>>46460634
If it's a shared vertex with the same texture all faces will have the same texture coord at that point.
If it's a shared vertex where each face has a different texture - say the corner of a cube and each face a different texture - then you still need additional information about what texture to use, and if you have that you usually have some kind of index table.

>>46458959
IMPLEMENTATION: You should build the string in a StringBuilder in generateString(); it's *much* faster for even modest string lengths.
DESIGN: Your concept of generator types is a bit shaky. It might be better to take the symbol alphabet as a direct argument (in a String) and to supply those selected combinations as defined string constants.

>>46460474
Two hints:
1) Think back to 1st grade. What is that "trick" to determine if a number is divisible by 9?
2) Pretend you have a 3 digit number abc. Write yourself an expression to determine what you get when you subtract a, b, and c from that number.

>>46460474
wait, wut?

I think of the numbers 1,2,3,11,12,13,21,22,23
I sum the digits of each (new list is 1,2,3,2,3,4,3,4,5)
I subtract each number in the second list from the original list, new list generated is 0,0,0,9,9,9,18,18,18
How are you supposed to tell me the original number when you've lost that much information?

>>46460682
That is solved by passing different tex coords and/or bind a different sampler in the fragment shader.
You don't need to figure anything out.

>>46460614
Thank you very much sir :)

>>46460787
Hell, the trick wouldn't even work for numbers below 20, because they wouldn't be able to give you any numbers.

>>46460738
You are so fucking retarded
Say you make a texture for a 3d model of a person
The texture is 2d
If you have a point at the bottom of the arm it will be connected to a face that uses something from the upper half of the arm section of the texture as well as being connected to a face that uses something from the lower half of the arm section of the texture
Because the texture fucking WRAPS AROUND THE ARM YOU FUCKING RETARD

>>46460738
Typically if the faces of a cube are supposed to look different you will put them in the same texture.

>>46460672
>three pos/tex/norm indecies defining each triangle

You already have the indices then. What's the problem?

>>46460787
The resulting number is going to have some special properties that you can figure out using 8th-grade (at most) math.

Run a script for 1-100, applying the "subtract the sum of the digits" rule. Do you see any pattern?

>>46460794
>sir

Why would you gender someone anonymous?

>>46460808
Those texture coordinates will either be the same if it's a big texture atlas, or it will use different textures, in which case you'll probably have an indices table that specifies all the faces.

So, using tex coords to encode unions of vertices makes no sense.

>>46456756
>These exercises are totally kicking my ass, what do?
Go back and read the other stuff. *Think about it.* Don't do other things at the same time, just find a quiet spot to work on just this. The exercises might be hard, but you aren't reading the book to get a bit of a chuckle, you're doing it to learn. You aren't doing it for e-peen either; you aren't going to be the first person to finish.

You can ask for help, but think very carefully about what exactly you want help with. The more exactly you can describe what is causing you problems, the easier it is to help you and the less you'll actually need help because you'll be closer to the solution.

Be aware that real life is harder than exercises in any book. Not because the problems are harder, but because very often there's no solution, or at least not unless you get creative...

>>46460789
why the he'll are you so fucking dense
The model uses one fucking texture and the fragment shader gets its values from interpoating between vertex values
You can't just "pass multiple values" to a fragment shader it doesn't work like that

>>46460829
The problem is when you define one index per vertex when calling glDrawElements so if one vertex has two different values of texcoord then you have to have two seperate indexes with the same position value but different texcoord value

Choose 3 numbers. Subtract the sum of the digits. Look at the resulting number (let's say it is 251) and tell me all but one of the digits (e.g., 1 and 2).

Temporarily load all of the vertices, texture coordinates and normals into separate arrays then create your triangle array using them.

>>46461007
I give you 1 and 2. It's trivial to find that the other digit should be 6, but how do you know if the number I selected is between 130 and 139, or between 270 and 279 or between 630 and 639.

The other problem is once you've figured out which of those three ranges it's in, which number is it within those ranges?
