This is not an issue of "optimizing" the code, but of debugging.
They are very different things and should never be confused!

Also, your Stack(IEnumerable<t> collection) constructor, counts the items in the collection, and allocates the myList, but never puts them into myList!

Matt T Heffron 2-Feb-22 18:01pm View

Your Pop() method never modifies your myList, so if you call it a second time it will return the same item again. You should not use a separate myStack. Just use myList.

The message that I included was from the Windows Event Viewer. It didn't include the NAME of the file that it couldn't find.

Matt T Heffron 3-Mar-18 13:19pm View

Since the OP says "string array", there doesn't seem to be any ambiguity about the problem statement. So, as you said, this solution isn't for this problem.

Matt T Heffron 3-Mar-18 12:52pm View

Nope. HashSet<t>.Contains() is O(1).
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb356440(v=vs.110).aspx

Matt T Heffron 21-Feb-18 17:45pm View

Maciej,
To get the counts of each key, without needing the explicit .ContainsKey() test you could use the somewhat obscure class System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentDictionary<TKey,TValue>
In your example changing Dictionary<string,int> to be ConcurrentDictionary<string,int> the whole

if (!myCounter.ContainsKey(atref.TextString)){  myCounter.Add(atref.TextString, 1);}else{  myCounter[atref.TextString] += 1}

collapses to the single statement:

myCounter.AddOrUpdate(atref.TextString, 1, (k,v) => v + 1);

Of course, this comes with the cost of concurrency protection overhead that isn't necessary.

Matt T Heffron 21-Feb-18 17:22pm View

John, Maciej's example had the count of number of duplicates for each key. The .Count property of HashSet is the number of entries in the collection, so it is the number of keys. (Not even the number of keys that have duplicates.)

Matt T Heffron 21-Feb-18 13:36pm View

But a HashSet won't give the count.
It is approximately equivalent to Dictionary<T, bool> but if the key is present the bool value is always true.
(Or am I missing something... ?)

There's also GNU Octave which is a free, open source, Matlab clone (very close). It has many free libraries on Octave Forge

Matt T Heffron 14-Jun-17 18:58pm View

Wouldn't
string period = @"\.";
work even more simply?

Matt T Heffron 13-Jun-17 20:38pm View

The pattern I showed above will give 3 matches for: "String goaway String foo <string>". The first two will match as "return" and the third will match as "return2". If you only want to check for a single "optional" character before the <string>, then change ".*" to ".?"

Matt T Heffron 13-Jun-17 20:32pm View

That's what I suspected, but didn't want to assume. Why not just use 2 different Regex's and see which matches with .IsMatch() ??

Matt T Heffron 13-Jun-17 20:29pm View

Doesn't this do it more simply? " ?(?<return>String) ?|.*<(?<return2>String)> ?" (Your second case is a subset of the first.) Why are you returning the matched "String"? Since you know what it contains, why return it?

Matt T Heffron 17-May-17 12:24pm View

Matt T Heffron 3-May-17 2:18am View

So what's it doing that isn't what you intend/expect?

Matt T Heffron 24-Jan-17 12:45pm View

(I've been "off the grid"...)
In the big picture, I think that each of the two forms have their advantages, and there are some queries that can be expressed only in the method syntax (like the "FirstOrDefault()" above).
For example, (for me) the SQL form is better if there are JOINs.
This is not a point where you should be strict on overall consistency of choice of syntax form.
Use what makes sense in each context.

Matt T Heffron 15-Jan-17 1:05am View

As stated above you cannot mix them in the same address space.
You need to run the 32 bit COM server as a separate process.
(An out-of-proc COM server.)
Long ago I knew the magic incantation to tell COM to run a DLL in a separate process, but those memory cells are not operational. :-)
My recollection was that it was a fairly simple variation to registering the COM server.
COM would run the service in its own process and would do the marshalling between processes.

Matt T Heffron 2-Dec-16 17:17pm View

Re: Tip 0: This is pointless advice.
The string "+" operator compiles into calls to string.Concat() [at least with VS2013, Release mode]
On the other hand, don't use string concatenation (either "+" or string.Concat()) to build up a string piecewise sequentially.
(This will create lots of intermediate string instances that are almost immediately dropped.)
Use a System.Text.StringBuilder in this case.

Matt T Heffron 30-Nov-16 17:50pm View

Also, why is Items string[] when the values are stored in sourceItems which appears to be a collection of AutoCompleteItem (which is not a .NET class, so we have no idea what it is!)
What does SetAutoCompleteItems(...) do? (Show the code)

Use "Improve question" above to edit. (Don't put code in the "Comments". It's very difficult to read there.)

Matt T Heffron 30-Nov-16 17:29pm View

First, figure out why the cmd.ExecuteReader() is failing. The rest of your difficulty doesn't matter until that works.

Matt T Heffron 17-Nov-16 17:56pm View

(For starters, your nested classes declaration looks a bit strange...)
Why are you trying to put the Namespace inside the MainForm?
It is not possible to change the namespace for part of a type (class) declaration. (What would that even mean?)

Matt T Heffron 14-Nov-16 14:51pm View

Actually, the using directive (this is not the using statement) is allowed inside a namespace (but not in a class). See the C# Language Spec, section 9.4.

Matt T Heffron 8-Nov-16 20:38pm View

It isn't clear what you are trying to accomplish.
As shown, there's no point in using Threads at all, since as soon as you start each thread, the Join() will block until the Thread completes. So this just could be all performed straight through in the Main().
The demo class has the locking flag which also accomplishes nothing since it is true and there's nothing that changes that.
Further, it is considered to be a very bad idea for a class instance to lock() itself. A better practice is for the class instance to have a private field of type object that is initialized to a dummy object to be used to lock the access to operations in the class.

Please use the "Improve question" above and clarify what you really are trying to do.

Is the Setter somehow trying to cache the Path as Content and only able to use it in one place?
Is there a way to use the Template property's ControlTemplate in each Style to set the Content of the parent Style?
Is there a way to have a ControlTemplate that is "based on" another ControlTemplate directly to allow setting the Content for "multiple use"?

In addition to Richard's advice, I'd add that you probably should enable the debugger to automatically break on exceptions.
That's on the menu: Debug -> Exceptions...
In that dialog, check the "Thrown" column check box for "Common Language Runtime Exceptions"
This will probably give you some false positives (so maybe wait until you're at the last point in running your app before it crashes).
If this doesn't catch it, then you might need to check all of the check boxes!

Matt T Heffron 27-Jul-16 19:24pm View

Sorry, this looks like homework.
You need to do your own homework.
If you really don't understand where to start then you should speak with the instructor (or teaching assistant).

If, you have specific questions with the code you've tried then come back and ask for help.

Matt T Heffron 27-Jul-16 13:13pm View

Besides the fact that the C# wouldn't compile; since IronPython is .NET, why not expose this functionality from a C# assembly (dll) and reference that from the part of your code that is in IronPython? (I've never used IronPython, but I expect that it can reference other .NET assemblies...)

You should not post a Solution to reply to a comment.
You should use the "Have a Question or Comment?" button for basic comments.
That way the person to whom you are responding gets an email notification of your comment.
(Comments do not allow for code markup.)

If you want to add anything more substantial, like explanatory code, then use the "Improve question" that is at the bottom of your original question. Keep the original question intact, but add the addition(s) below.

Matt T Heffron 11-Jul-16 13:59pm View

Bill,
Further down in that comment OP also stated:
"In the above example result The first two record of SPName,TagName,ecomment values are same but other columns like CurrentValue, ChangeType are different TaskName is same.
In the third Sp2, Tag2, ecmnt2 are different because these members are present in list1 but not in another list2 so i kept the list1 members in the result.

similar way Sp3, Tag3, ecmnt3 are present in list2 not in list2 so i kept the List2 members in the result.

So i need an algorithm to handle the above requirement as shown in the above result."

So, although the lists are sorted, some entries may be present in only one or the other list.

Matt T Heffron 8-Jul-16 17:08pm View

You are correct, the question is ill-stated.
You could answer that the code will not compile because length has not been declared.
It seems most likely that length means the length of myArray (i.e., 8)
Using the answer you gave above would probably be the best strategy.
It shows critical thinking.

Matt T Heffron 8-Jul-16 12:50pm View

Bill,
While this is good, it seems to be missing the detection of insertions/deletions (entries in only one list or the other) as described in his comment above.
I don't have a solution for that, although with sorted lists I have some thoughts...

Matt T Heffron 7-Jul-16 13:08pm View

So, is the memberimage property of the GroupVM a List<image-type>?
If not, then you don't have the correct data structure to store what you're looking for.
It might be lots simpler to construct this piece-wise. Especially, if these are in-memory instances/collections.

Matt T Heffron 5-Jul-16 14:11pm View

Do you need to do some sort of matching of items between the lists, or are you just comparing them in the order they occur?
You said that the files(lists) are different sizes. Do they match pair-wise until the end where one is longer than the other? Or, do you need to detect extra rows in one (insertions) and then get back in sync?

What part of this is the actual problem?
(The comparison itself is easy, I hope that's not the problem...)

Matt T Heffron 29-Jun-16 18:28pm View

I don't think that does what you think it does.
Both of the systems I'm dealing with already have the "en-US" CultureInfo.
The time zone would be a property of the system clock.
I cannot change the system clock on a per-thread basis!

Matt T Heffron 24-Jun-16 22:18pm View

Even if you fix the Regex as suggested, the example you give will have aA with 3 elements and bA with 4.
What is it that you are really trying to accomplish?
(BTW. All of the .ToString() of the aA[i] and bA[i] are pointless, the values are already strings!)

Marc, This question is a follow up from OP's previous question at http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/1107199/Confused-about-static and the discussion following my Solution there.

Matt T Heffron 17-Jun-16 14:49pm View

Actually all you needed was a ; after the } (oops!)
The IOException means that some other process has that file open, probably for writing. Since you are calling this because of a FileWatcher Changed event, you need to wait for a little time after the "last" Changed event to determine if the file is done changing and is "readable". How long depends on how the file is being written.

The Cross-thread error is because you are executing this in a different thread from the UI thread. The properties/methods of UI controls must be access from the UI thread. There a property and a method on controls to deal with this.
See my update to the Solution.
If the colorTextbox method (or any method) accesses any UI controls from a thread other than the UI thread then this same error will occur there. You'll need to look for and fix all of these!

Yes, maybe...That's why I asked for clarification.

A partially ordered set with a single ordering predicate that is applied to every pair of elements makes this a totally ordered set.
Wikipedia: Partially ordered set -- Formal definition

That a partially ordered set can have a maximum, does not guarantee that it does. A totally ordered set is guaranteed to have a maximum.

Matt T Heffron 13-Jun-16 17:26pm View

Yes.
I posted a similar solution a couple of years ago: playing cards game - Solution 3
If avoiding bias in the resultant "shuffles" is important, pay particular attention to the Potential sources of bias in the Wikipedia article. (For example, to have an unbiased shuffling of a 52 card deck the pseudo random number generator must have at least 226 bits of internal state!)

Matt T Heffron 13-Jun-16 17:17pm View

The "other" condition on determining "best" is that the predicate function is transitive, which guarantees the existence of a total ordering.

Better(A, B) && Better(B, C) means that Better(A, C)

Otherwise there may be only a set of partial orderings.
(End of pedantry ;-) )

Matt T Heffron 13-Jun-16 14:15pm View

I've just been reading about FileSystemWatcher, and it appears that the Created event happens when the file is first opened for writing. Don't you have to wait for the size or last write time to stop changing (Changed event) for some time (application specific) to know when the file is finished being written and Closed?

This question doesn't quite make sense.
To compare requires some kind of comparison operation.
If you can't use any of the "eq"-type operations, how do you expect to compare the elements of the lists?
For numbers you could subtract and use (zerop ...), but that's an obvious HACK!
Is your question about how to walk the lists "in parallel"? How to structure the overall comparison? Looping vs. recursion vs. some of both?
Use the "Improve question" to clarify what you are really trying to solve.
(Since comparison of lists is already available in lisp, this looks like a homework assignment type of question.)

In addition to giving more information as Richard suggested,

Are the SrCreated and SrSolved totally independent?
Are they compute-bound or IO-bound?
Are there any resources that they must share in a manner that allows for updates?
Do they each need their own results of Global() and ChildAccess()? or do they share the results (which is kind of implied by part of your question about start-up)?
Are they large enough (memory-wise) that switching between the threads will affect caching?
Just putting things in multiple threads is not necessarily going to make it faster?

Matt T Heffron 31-May-16 17:22pm View

OK, then for just an array, use the second block of code above.
(The block starting with int [] marksNew .)
That will create a new array which is a copy with the specified element omitted.
At the end of that block, the marks is replaced with marksNew.
As I noted, to do it in place, you cannot change the size of the array and must fill the tail of the array with some value to indicate invalid. Or you must keep a usable length value that you reference everywhere you use marks so you know how much of it is valid.

Matt T Heffron 31-May-16 14:41pm View

OK, then the code in the first half of my solution are ways to do that covering both modifying the array in place, and making a new array with the element removed.
The only reason you should need to modify an array in place would be if there is some other part of the code that already has a reference to that array and there's no way to have that reference updated.
If this is the only reference to the array and making a replacement array is OK then the second, third and fourth code blocks above are your options.
If you can switch to declaring marks as a List<int> instead of a int[] then just using marks.RemoveAt(...) is the ultimately simple solution!!

Matt T Heffron 31-May-16 13:51pm View

So it becomes:

foreach (Dictionary<string, int> inner in ID.Values)
{
  // here inner is the same as your code, but doesn't require dealing with 
  // KeyValuePair...

In fact, your code requires creating all of the KeyValuePair instances, while iterating over the ID.Values doesn't need to.

There's an ambiguity in your question:
At first you state: "we have 20 gb of text files" using plural files
Then you state: "the huge files like 20 gb"
So, the question is: Are the individual files 20 gb, or only the total size of all of the files?
This can make a big difference in how you could approach the problem.

You need to go back and really learn how, and when, to pass arrays to functions.
You never modify the contents of the card_array so special_card will always just return NumOfCards (which is NOT the same as NUMOFCARDS, C is case-sensitive!)

I have a soft spot for that function...

Good.
Instead of replacing all of the code in the "What I have tried" section, just replace the changed code, being careful to use the character elements for the <, > and & (that's < > and & respectively!)

So what's the problem with the way it is printing the cards?

EDIT:
But not from the code! See solution below.

You probably need to add code to make sure that there are only 4 of each value of card played from each shuffle of a deck. (Or 4*n for n decks played together.)
Also, you need the "house" to "hit" until the cards total 17 or more.

You've lost me.
I don't use LINUX and I'm not familiar with these specific compiler messages.
However, I think:
the 'sleep" error means you need #include <unistd.h>

You stated that you didn't need to get any data back, so you should be able to delete any use of recvfrom. Or change the declaration of slen from int to be socklen_t.

The last error you show looks like there is a missing ; typo in the code. (On the sleep(1) line?)

The others are warnings of doing things that are unsafe.
Switch the gets(message) to fgets(...).
gets is inherently unsafe as there's nothing to prevent more than input than will fit in the buffer passed to it.

Matt T Heffron 19-May-16 14:19pm View

What kind of errors did you get from what you tried?

Following up on my comment below.
ML on raw images is probably computationally intractable.
(At least, a very large computational requirement.)
Determining a small feature set that can be pre-computed easily is probably the only practical strategy.
My first thought would be first to trim and scale all the images to the same size (at least approximately align the baseline and horizontally center the trimmed image in the final size "canvas"), then get some simple features like horizontal and vertical symmetry, overall intensity.
Then, you should split the feature data into training and testing data sets.
Do this split randomly! Do not peek when choosing which data are for training vs. testing!

If the page "stops" after a few seconds, then there is some problem in the code. It just isn't in the part that executes when loading the page. Or it is that loading the page leaves some debris behind on the server (unreleased resource, etc.) that causes the error a few seconds later.

So did you set the breakpoint on the line I suggested?
Single step one line and then look at the contents of the elems collection.
Does it contain the elements you expect?
If not, then you'll need to do some research to see why.

The behavior you describe sounds like classstr is the empty string, which is what happens if the elem doesn't have an attribute named "class".

We can't really debug your code from here, you're going to have to do that part yourself.

It is just one of the constraints of WPF that bindings must be to a property, not a field (or const).
For WPF controls to notice when the property to which they are bound has changed value, the DataContext (the Window itself in this case) must implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface, and then raise the PropertyChanged event whenever a property value changes.

The Gregorian calendar was first established in the late 1500's so any attempt at a date calculation before that would not be correct.
But, if you assumed that the Gregorian calendar has always been in use, all of the calculations are the same except you should probably choose some large negative number as the reference year. (Not too negative, you have only about 5.8 million years with a 32-bit int to store the totalDays!)
You probably have to special-case year zero. There was no such a year! But since this is now a new calendar system you can define it such that year zero is OK. (Apparently, it was a leap year!)

My suggestion in the other posting is pretty much what nv3 suggested here.
It isn't difficult!
Try doing it on paper first.
With my suggestion of 1/1/1600 as the "reference year" try calculating the number of days until March 6, 2000 (inclusive!).
First 2000-1600 gives a yearsSpan of 400
400 / 4 potential leap years is 100 * 1461 days = 146100
(1461 is 366 + 3*365)
but there are 4 centuries so subtract 4
but there is 1 400-year block so add back 1
so far totalDays is 146097
We're in month 3 so add 31+28 for the number of days before March.
totalDays is now 146156
add 6 for the specified day of the month
totalDays is 146162
Check for a leap year:
2000 is a leap year so add 1
the total number of days from 1/1/1600 up to including 6/3/2000 is 146163
So now you can add the n.
Then just convert this number back to d,m,y.
First figure out how many years, then which month, then the day of the month.
Done!

Matt T Heffron 7-Apr-16 16:15pm View

OK, for staters, I'm assuming this is some form of coursework (since there's no other obvious reason to do this) so I'm not going to just give you the solution, but I'll try to guide you through it. (It would be nearly trivial in C#!)

The code you have "parses" the input date into day, month, and year.
(It's not pretty but it looks like it works.)
You would need to choose a reference year, say 1600, and then invalidate the input if the user gives an earlier date than 1/1/1600.
Now you need a variable to hold the calculated total days since the reference year.
(A 32 bit int will allow for up to 5.8 million years!)
First subtract 1600 from the input year value into years.
Calculate the number of "potential" leap years in that value: years / 4
Put ~~366~~ 1461 (= 366 + 3*365) times that into the total days variable.
Then figure out how many century years there were: years / 100
Subtract that number from the total days (those weren't leap years).
Then add back in for the years divisible by 400: years / 400
At this point you have the number of days from 1/1/1600 to just before the user input year.
Now you need to add in the appropriate number of days to the beginning of the user input month.
If the month is after February, then account for year being a leap year.
Then add in the input day value.
This is now the total number of days from 1/1/1600 to the input date (inclusive)!!

Now you can just add the days offset (n) to the total.
Then you can "unwind" the calculation above to get the new day, month, year.

Matt T Heffron 7-Apr-16 15:28pm View

The way I'd do this would be to convert the input date to an integer representing the number of days since the beginning of some reference year.
(You could calculate days since the beginning of year 1, there was no year 0, but that assumes the current calendar system back before it was in use!)
Then add the number of days offset (n) and convert back to day, month, year. The hardest part of converting back may be determining how many leap years to account for.

If you convert the input (string I presume) to a C# DateTime value (using DateTime.TryParse()), then if there is no time of day in the string, then the time in the value will be defaulted to 00:00:00, which seems to be what you want.

On my Android tablet, I can't even use voice input for asking a question without a network connection back to Google. Generalized dictation would ~~probably~~ be even harder.
The different speaker models (dialects, accents, ...), vocabulary, environmental acoustics adaptation (noisy, quiet, echoey...) make this general case too hard for (most) stand-alone systems.
I can easily believe that the Speech-SDK has been "frozen" at the current capabilities.

If the OP knows that their values are all <= 99, then "D2" is a perfectly valid way to accomplish output with a fixed width of 2 chars.

Good points. (+5)
I interpreted the question as if OP was generating 9 random values, each 0 or 1 representing an X or O in a "cell". (Perhaps to generate input for a learning algorithm... albeit, not very useful input!) But the problem was that the relative counts of X and O was not balanced (5 to 4): the only valid states for "played" games.
(This is clearly wrong as it accounts for "full" boards only, and many of these board states would be impossible since the game would have ended before filling the board.)

Instead of saying you "tried a variety of things", show us the code for them (at least some of them). Then we can better see how to point you in the right direction.

Since this looks like homework, you are not likely to get working code, but maybe some hints.

Thanks

So... is there some clarification you're going to add?
Is your question solved?

Matt T Heffron 29-Mar-16 15:09pm View

You're asking everyone for their "Project source"
Why?
The impression you are presenting is that you are unwilling or incapable of doing your own work. This is probably not what you want to do.

You should DELETE this "solution" and repost it as a new Question.
It is very unlikely that anyone who can help you would see this here.

Matt T Heffron 29-Mar-16 12:23pm View

This is essentially a duplicate of your question of a few minutes earlier.
You should just use "Improve question" to change the other question.

There is no appreciable difference between the two.

"What I have tried:" should be showing what you have done to address the specific question, not just telling what parts you already have working.
In this case, here (in the other question) you could put a description of HOW you think it should be architected/designed.

You should post your question as an independent question (and then delete this Solution from here!)
It is very unlikely that someone who can answer this would see it here!

This was answered over 5 years ago!
If you have a new, "better", algorithm then you should write an article about it.
(Is it based on a "known, published" algorithm?)
Posting it as a Solution to an old, already solved question is not a good way to build credibility here at Code Project.

Matt T Heffron 28-Mar-16 14:00pm View

Nope.
I'd have to Google it and you can do that as well and can decide which result makes the most sense to you.
I suggest searching:
convert float to string algorithm

It looks like you can just use count instead of unique.

Matt T Heffron 24-Mar-16 13:16pm View

OP's problem is more fundamental.
The concept isn't understood.

Matt T Heffron 24-Mar-16 13:15pm View

Of course!
See my Solution below.

So it sounds like the problem is in converting your Java implementation to C#.
In the "What I have tried:" section, show us the relevant parts of both implementations.

This way we can see how to help. Right now there's nothing we can do.

Matt T Heffron 18-Mar-16 20:01pm View

Agreed.

Matt T Heffron 18-Mar-16 18:29pm View

Easier said than done!
Maybe it'll work if it was coded against a comparatively recent C++ standard.
We have a LARGE VC6 C++ application and trying several years ago to compile it as C++/CLI gave tens of thousands of errors!

Edit: I wasn't trying to imply that this was a bad suggestion!
This is an excellent suggestion.
I was just trying to "set expectations" that it wouldn't be automagic!

This moves the handling of the nulls out of the GET_Y_SERIES method and makes it the responsibility of all of the callers.
(You don't need to allocate the "new double[21]" since you are about to replace it on the next line.)

Matt T Heffron 17-Mar-16 17:41pm View

This question is 2 years old, but since you used out parameters (for the most part correctly) and that was one of my first thoughts, I'll give you a 4.
