If I'm reading that correctly it will only use nodes which have not already been used in the current path. However, it shouldn't matter how many times any particular node is used but rather how many times each "road" between nodes is used.

In my example, "0-1-5-4-3-2-0-9-8-7-6-1" was a valid path. Node '0' is used twice, but each "road" leading to each of its three neighbors is used only once (0-1,2-0,0-9). Am I understanding your pseudocode correctly?

do? Thanks!

hi

I want to implement data versioning in a application...
I need a Delta algorithm component.
where can I find it?

thanks.

have a double value describing rotation angle for a text box object. I need to convert it to quaternion. I have searched the web, and all I get is converters that conver Euler angle to Quaternion.

I would appreciate any formulae or algorithm.
And this double value is the only information I have for rotation.
