Apologies for the shouting but this is important.
When answering a question please:
- Read the question carefully
- Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
- If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
- If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid..

For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode "<" (and other HTML) characters when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Use HTML in this post" check box is checked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question into an unrelated forum such as the lounge. It will be deleted. Likewise, do not post the same question in more than one forum.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.
cheers,

Learning how to exploit a vulnerability teaches not how to code.
Been doing development for over 20 years, and a "little" paranoid. Sporting my own hostfile and delivering updates to multiple hosts.
I like education.

It's a way of learning to know about weaknesses, not about how things work. Here an analogy for ya; you claim you can run an atomic power plant, because you know an unguarded door. In my opinion, you not even less qualified than any real programmer, but a liability.
And you know you are; that's why I post under my real name, and you don't dare too.

I don't think you understand your point then.
If all we told people is to use parameterized queries but did not explain why, the lesson would not be learned as well. Explaining how non-parameterized queries can allow someone to hack your db is magnitudes more valuable than just telling them to use parameters.

I know. "Because it would reduce performance". So then you could make two versions of your SQL based application: One HighPeformance version to use when benchmarking or comparing against alternatives. When you boost multiplatform and high availability, there is another, "safe" version with all the flexibility and functionality ruining performance, but beneficial in a lot of other ways.

Hello everyone. I am just a beginner programmer.
I am learning recursion and dynamic programming.
I realized that even for Fibonacci numbers, recursion is not suitable - and there you need to use dynamic programming.
:thumbsup:
Well, I looked at the tutorials, it's good when you can deduce the recurrent relation and then everything is clear...
But if we cannot do it, how then?
????
For example, I took the famous task "Knight's tour" and solved it using recursion.

As you can see from the video for 8x8, we get one of the solutions in a reasonable amount of time.
But if the task is to get all the solutions?
Even for 6x6 it already freezes - everything depends on memory, I have 8GB of RAM.
:) :) :)
Help, how can this example be optimized to get ALL solutions?
Will it change anything if rewritten in C ++ or there in python?

I'm not getting it: How could anyone even consider doing the Fibonacci sequence recursively? For printing it backwards?
|
|

You really surprised me. I watched a lot of tutorials - on recursion and almost everyone has an example with Fibonacci
static int fib(int n, int a , int b )
{
if (n == 0)
return a;
if (n == 1)
return b;
return fib(n - 1, b, a + b);
}

Kari Trust wrote: I watched a lot of tutorials - on recursion and almost everyone has an example with Fibonacci
I can see a single reason for using fibonacci to illustrate recursion: To show that it isn't needed. The keyword is tail recursion.
Certainly, a good compiler will detect tail recursion and save stack space and call overhead, generating a simple jump to the top of the function (after fixing up the parameter block, of course), changing the recursion to an iteration. You might as well do that yourself ... unless, of course, you are so deeply into recursive thinking that you find it hard to consider fibonacci anything but recursive. (I can imagine mathematicians that are that way, but not many programmers!
To me, the obvious way to write a fibonacci-function would be (I consider the sequence to start with 0, labeled the 0th fibonacci number - some people argue details):
static int fib(int n) {
if (n < 2) return n;
int prev = 1;
int fibn = 1;
for (int iteration = 2; iteration < n; iteration++) {
int fibnext = fibn + prev;
prev = fibn;
fibn = fibnext;
}
return fibn;
}
Bonus sidetrack (or is it?):
If you want to make sure that you master recursion, terminating conditions in particular, try this little exercise: Make a console program with recursive function that for each call writes an output line on the console of RecursionDepth number of spaces, followed by an asterisk (and a newline).
If the main program calls this function with arguments NumberOfTeeth, BladeWidth, ToothLength, the output should look like a sawblade; the recursion goes to the maximum recursion depth, ToothLength. Then it returns to BladeWidth recursion depth, before it again recurses to ToothLength depth a second time, and repeats this for at total of NumberOfTeeth dives into the maximum depth, before finally returning to the main program.
If you are a seasoned recursioner, maybe you will find this problem trivial (in that case, forward it to your students or junior programmers!) I have never ever seen anyone getting this perfectly right on the first try, though! Most programmers give it a first try, then they curse before making the first correction, then they re-curse before making a second correction, ... The cursing often goes to the maximum depth of re-cursing before they get it right

It might be helpful if you define "analog clock" more clearly. Are you using an over-ridden Paint event in your app ?

I didn't make it by myself (I have a tutorial about it) and for shortage of time, I used a dll reference and its corresponding component. I cannot see its code.
I used a special font which does not exist in Windows by default.
