This should highlight regions based on the amount of open nodes you could spot if you were to stand in them.

It's got a tad of fine tuning to go, mainly based on the non community of my line of sight algorithm, but I might just pick another one though.

Yeah, that's why I'm usually trying to actually be descriptive when posting issues, I hate when people don't provide details or straight up ignore the issue when they found a solution. In this case I provided a solution, example code, as well as a caveat with one way to get around it.

I've got an arduino communicating with a python script on a raspi over bluetooth.

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
int incomingByte = 0;

int inputPin = 4;
int pirState = LOW;             
SoftwareSerial bluetooth(2, 3);

void setup()
{
  pinMode(inputPin, INPUT);
  //Setup usb serial connection to computer
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("9600");
  //Setup Bluetooth serial connection to android
  bluetooth.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  
  int val = digitalRead(inputPin);
  if (val == HIGH && pirState == LOW) {
    bluetooth.write('T');
    Serial.write('T');
    delay(1000);
    pirState = HIGH;
  }
 // else if (val==LOW && pirState == HIGH)  
      pirState = LOW;
}

When I run this on my 'duino, every character gets transmitted just fine.
However, if I uncomment the simple yet essential else, my script reads semi-random characters of the format \xaa or stuff.
Does anyone have any clue what is causing this?

Not enough matter in the universe, and it would also never be able to finish a calculation.

>>51591286
>and it would also never be able to finish a calculation.
You are implying that a BidDecimal can represent infinity which is wrong. If you are adding, for example, two BidDecimals, the calculation would always finish sometime because the precisions of the these BidDecimals are obviously finite and know beforehand.

>>51591373
>You are implying that a BidDecimal can represent infinity
That's the opposite of what I wasn't implying.
>are obviously finite
Exactly.

>Java "programmers"

>>51591402
>Exactly.
note that _instances_ of BigDecimal have a finite precision but the precision of BigDecimal is infinite: the precision's limit is undefined because the logic behind BigDecimal works with any precision (it being physically possible or not is another subject).

>>51591373
However, dividing two finite decimals would, in general, require either an infinite number of digits (although this will always consist of a finite prefix followed by an infinitely-repeating cycle) or rounding.

No, it's finite.
Maybe you meant arbitrary - as in not necessarily fixed ahead of time - but it's definitely finite.

Anon, don't be so close-minded. The vast majority of Computer science (and mathematics) is about theory. The most important, the most fundamental, concept of CS is abstraction. If one can not think abstractly, can not reason through an idealized machine, that one should probably find a more suited discipline.... system administrator, for example.

Yeah so is Haskell but it's still slow as fuck.

>>51591789
See, the interesting thing about this book is it specifically said it is not meant to teach me C#, but to teach me fundamental programming skills and principles by using C#. It'll probably take me 3-4 months to get through it (including doing all the excercises and stuff) if I'm at it for about 3-4 hours a day.

>>51591811
>Knowing C++ well will help you in learning every other programming language out there anon, including C#.

Seriously, this. This is what a lot of "beginner programming classes" and tutorials and whatnot miss.
Programming isn't, despite what PHPers will tell you, figuring out how to solve a problem. Programming is telling a computer what to do. C++ (and C, but C isn't that useful anymore outside of embedded) will teach you what the computer actually hears when you type `System.Console.WriteLine(new System.String("Hello, world!"))` into that fancy C# interactive shell.

Not to mention it's still a damn useful language for modern applications,.

>>51591658
type view-source: into chrome then paste the link.

>>51591838
You need to ask yourself whether you classes are doing a good enough job teaching "fundamental programming skills and principles". If not, then read the book. If yes, then it would behove you to find a textbook on C# that assumes some familiarity with programming.

Why is C such a beautiful language, /g/?

Because my child is in her belly.

>>51591950
should I learn C as my first language?

>>51592060
yes

>>51592060
If you want to, sure. C will teach you very quickly what other languages hide from you until they think you're "ready".

>>51592060
No. You should never learn C unless you are writing a kernel module or a compiler. Even to write a compiler it's better avoided anyway.

Can anyone explain to me the process of saving scheme procedures? I get it that they're saved in the *scheme* buffer, but when I reopen that it seems like it's hashed. Also when I reopen a .scm file and then do run-scheme it just gives me a blank buffer again.

So, is message passing the best way for concurrency in general?

>>51592060
Absolutely, moving from C to any other language is easier than doing the opposite.

>>51592138
You might want to actually read some material on concurrency first

>>51592146
That's because C is so disgusting that once you use anything else, you can't go back down to C.

>>51592155
Done that already.

>>51592138
No. futures are,

>>51592174
Under the hood futures still generally use message passing.

>>51592096
who the hell uses C for compilers? some people use C++ but I've never seen C in like any compiler from the past 10 years. also, I wouldn't say not to learn a language because there's nothing that you need it for as long as the language will teach you something. that said, C is useful for a ton of shit, like linking with other languages when binding native libraries, any use of OpenGL, anything that should generally perform well, and so on

>>51592302
False.

gcc

>>51592308
gcc was c until recently. Most scheme compilers are C. SBCL is C. Ocaml's bootstrap compiler is C. GHC is C. Erlang is C. The great majority of languages are C, or their bootstrap compilers are C.

If you believe that you're a retard who's probably only ever used Java and Python.

Does anyone here know anything about assembly?

I'm trying to code a program that branches to another instruction to execute, but after the branched instruction finishes executing, it returns to the instruction in the address that follows the branching instruction.

i've learned to program
how do i become a programmer now?

>>51593620
I have no idea, plus I'm more interested in the logic behind it so that I could do it for any dialect. I have code already to do AND, XOR, OR, Arithmetic, Unconditional Branching, Conditional Branching, Indirect Branching, and Branch and Save.

I know Branch and Save is probably what I'll need but I have no idea how to tell any given program to branch to that, or how to save the address from the Accumulator after it gets branched.

>>51593690
The logic changes from dialect to dialect. Assembly is more of a concept then a language. Even for x86 Assembly it changes OS to OS. Even x86 Assembly on Linux has two different major dialects that you can use that aren't compatible with each other.

>>51593690
>>51593620
Oh, disregard my last statement about Branch and Save. It actually stores it automatically to a given address, but branches to the address that follows the address I just saved at.

Now that's dank!

Only the client depends on unity. The server is a standalone c# app. I use windows because it just works. I get a decent working desktop environment for very little effort. I don't want to spend my time messing around with linux. It's fantastic as a headless server OS and that's where I intend to use it.

Visual studio provides fantastic debugging, refactoring abilities and project management. As it is now, neither vim nor emacs provides the same level of project-wide control and I don't have the time to write it myself.

My server runs on linux with mono last time I checked, and the client could be rewritten using FOSS tools if I felt like wasting a massive amount of time.

Learn the C Standard Library Second.

This is commonsense - you need to know the language if you want to understand the libraries that are written in said language.

>>51594049
>>51594052
ok, I'm sorry for asking a stupid question. I'll learn C first and then learn the C standard library.

>>51594049
>The C standard library consists of header files that use C to abstract C into more useable C
It may not even consist of header files.
Even if it does, they may not be written in C.
But even more importantly, the functions themselves may not be written in C even if the definitions in the headers are.

Go is one of the most doomed languages I can think of. What's it for exactly?

>>51593889
The 'standard library' of any language is the premade/prebuilt set of functions and/or types made available - and usually comes when you install the compiler or interpreter.
The standard library of a language is usually written in said language.

If you actually can't figure that out on your own, you do not deserve to get the job.

>>51594483
If the string is null terminated, just loop through the string until the character at that index is /0

fn split_at(&mut self, mid: usize) -> &'a str {
    let ret = &self.source[..mid];

    self.source = &self.source[mid..];

    ret
}

Is there a better/more elegant way to write this in Rust?

C++ question:

Is there ever a reason to not pass by reference? If so, when should I pass by value, and when should I pass by reference?

Pic related is acting like I should always pass by reference.

>>51594961
I assume you mean const referenece

You shouldn't always pass ints and other small types by const reference, if it isn't optimised away it can be bad for the cache

Not really

>>51594982
in multithreaded programs that is (i.e. you pass by reference and the data lines are invalidated because you might have changed it)

sup /dpt/

I'm working on a uni project and at the moment I have to plot some graphs of the worst, average and best case complexities of the insertion sort and counting sort algorithms.

At the moment I'm testing it with arrays of 100 ints, 200 ints etc. up to 5000 to see how long they take with increasing input sizes. I'm using random arrays to measure for average case, sorted arrays for best case and reverse sorted for worst case.

I'm also running the sort 50 times in a loop, adding the elapsed time to a variable and diving the variable by 50 afterwards to get an average time.

In theory this seems to be a half-decent way of measuring the complexity (and I've been searching for some better ways online but not really finding anything). My problem is that most of the charts I've been making don't seem very accurate and have a lot of random jumps.

Here are the charts I've made so far:
Worst case insertion: http://i.imgur.com/DVZXrm9.png
Average case insertion: http://i.imgur.com/BxyPWZq.png
Best case insertion: http://i.imgur.com/VO2Hmwc.png
Worst case counting: http://i.imgur.com/jUJ8jnq.png
Average case counting: http://i.imgur.com/jkuRlAX.png
Best case counting: http://i.imgur.com/aD2rTKR.png

Would it be acceptable to just use the lowest time recorded out of the 50 iterations instead of the average of them all? Is there anyway I can make my results more accurate?

>>51594678
bump.

>>51594678
If you're talking about java, then just use the String.length() function.
When they say not to use libraries, they just mean external ones. It's fine to use the java standard library - it's basically impossible to do anything meaningful with out it.

Oh, alright. I assume that goes for regular references too? (Not just const)

What are some languages that are actually used on an industrial scale nowadays but nobody's heard of? /dpt/ skews the statistic, but for instance, ocaml would qualify. What others are there?

>>51594982
Doesn't the compiler just optimise out const references to ints and the like

>>51595075
What they probably meant was "no libraries that make your job too easy/aren't reasonable to use". For example, if you're asked to implement a LinkedList, they'll probably not want you to use any libraries (or parts of libraries) like java.util.List, java.util.LinkedList, etc, but it would probably be ok to use java.util.Iterator instead of having to create your own Iterator interface for your LL's iterator, since that's tangential to what you're being asked to do.

>>51595117
If you want to change the value you should pass by non-const reference.

>>51595117
Yes, it's not guaranteed to be an issue with const but it is absolutely relevant if you're modifying references.

There are no 'grueling' compilation times for C++.

Also recompiling C/C++ is a lot lot quicker thanks to based object files.

Pretty sure you're in the early sections anon. They're plenty of times not to use references, and PPP2 goes into them throughout the text.
