I have a problem programming uniform networks, "x nodes with y links" that turn
out to be really hairy to solve for me and i feel i really lack the programming
features
"Actually i program in javascript" but the problem seem general for all
programming languages including Pyhton.
For a beautiful solution it would require "If in list/array return boolean" "If
not in list/array return boolean".
But there is no such feature Python nor Javascript, so instead i set boolean
value "inlist" to false and loop thru, to see if it is already in list. If not
it is added to list.
So if the current node i generate links for is x and i try to generate a link
to node z, and z's links exhausted i will add it to exhausted list.
And if there is node-x exhausted entries in list, well then script should break
because it will lock into a cycle. The cyclic lockup is due to only a subset of
the networks on the form (links*deep)+1=nodes is possible.
So what i need is to know howto write "if list/array ***empty*** do {something}"
I sure know howto check if an array have 1 element 2,3,4 but how do you check
for empty.
I think it is crazy that you can not do general comparissons of the type
If in list/array
If not in list/array
But it is even more crazy that you can not check if list/array is empty, that
is just madness.
