At best this is closed-minded. At worst it's ignorant.
There are lots of cases where adding some formalism to intuitive
notions has produced wonderful new insights.
Take for example the denotational semantics of recursive definitions
(or loops if you prefer). These were obvious just as you
I hope this isn't homework.
This is can be solved with a DP roughly similar to the classic one for
subset sum. Let X and Y be the districts. Use a 4d table of booleans
G.
G(i,x,y,p) is true iff there is an assignment of precincts P(1)...P(i),
with p in X and i-p in Y, and with x and y gnu
You must think about types in a more general sense that traditional
programming language types: as values that satisfy a predicate. Then
if the predicate is allowed to be a recursive function, you get your
definition.

This is highly optimized code that in the normal case loads 4 bytes at
a time, checks if any of the 4 is z a null (0) and handles accordingly.
If the string doesn't start on a 4-byte boundary, the str_misaligned
counts 1, 2, or 3 characters until a null or alignment boundary is
found. The
This is the idea my code used, though I kept track of the start of the
array with a pointer and the end with an integer length.
You seem to imply that the median of an array is always a single
element (at n1 or n2). Care is necessary when the lengths of the
arrays are even. In this case the
I fear this problem is NP hard.
You can think of the grid as a (possibly disconnected) undirected
graphs where each filled grid square is a vertex connected by edges to
its neighboring filled squares. Then the algorithm is a depth-first
search. This is obviously O(n) where n is the number of _filled_
squares.
In perl (hopefully the homework has been due already)...
use strict;
our %memo;
sub lcs {
my ($x, $y) = @_;
my $key = $x|$y;
return $memo{$key} if defined $memo{$key};
my $s = '';
for (my $i = 0; $i length($x); $i++) {
for (my $j = 0; $j length($y); $j++) {

Several. You can compute all possible ways to arrange four 1s in a
field of 14 bits.
for (i = 1; i (1 (14 - 3)); i = 1)
for (j = i 1; j (1 (14 - 2)); j = 1)
for (k = j 1; k (1 (14 - 1)); k = 1)
for (m = k 1; m (1 (14 - 0)); m = 1)
printf(%d , i | j | k | m);
A friend of mine says that with the cash box given he can prove that
the greedy approach always works EXCEPT that if the greedy algorithm
would select an ODD number N of 500's, 50's 5's, or 0.25s, then the
algorithm must also try N-1 of the same denomination. This is because
they are congruent
Your algorithm does not show how to select di. If you pick the
smallest possible denomination first, then consider S=6 with a cash box
of
2 x 1
1 x 5
The algorithm will pick both 1's and then fail because all that's left
is the 5.
If you pick the largest possble di then try S=60 with a cash box
Indeed di-1 mod di = 0 is sufficient to make the greedy algorithm work,
but 50 mod 20 = 10!
Turns out this is one of the programs where a great deal of
simplification is possible.
The first thing to note is that the second call in the original program
is tail recursive; it is followed immediately by a return. For such
calls, saving params on the stack is unnecessary because they are
It would make a nice homework question in an undergraduate data
structures course, and there might be some applications where it
performs marginally better than the standard approach, which is a
single pointer to a single array. To grow the array, allocate new
memory twice as large as the
