Liam,
Just looking at this -
i = 456
s = ''
while i:
s = str(i % 2) + s
i/=2
This works, far simpler than mine, which is always infuriating, but
my
question is, how exactly?
This is the classic math treatment of how to calculate a binary
number.
Just keep dividing by two and
Ah, yeah, gotta get me one of those textbooks.
(Wait a minute, that would mean, my approach wasn't the textbook
approach... /me salvages a little pride.)
While I jest somewhat, that highlights a serious deficiency in my
education that becomes more and more apparent, which is in maths.
Sheesh, if
Even more OT it would seem, but harking back to the original subject,
Perl isn't looking too bad because I've been working through Java
tonight.
$j = STDIN; is relatively intuitive for a child of Unix, and it's
also documented.

4 is 001 (on a continuum of 2^0 to 2^n), but using the above approach
we get 100.
?? 4 (decimal) is 100 (binary). Not because of how the conversion algorithm works, but because that
is how we write numbers. The least-significant digit is always the rightmost digit. 001 is 1 in

Actually, generating the digits from the right complicates the algorithm quite
a bit. It's hidden in
the Python version, but s = str(i % 2) + s is a relatively expensive
operation here - it has to copy
all of s to make room for the new digit.

Yes, its a sad fact. Good programming beyond basics does require a
modicum of maths. You can learnn enough to do useful things without
math, but there reaches a
Title: Percolation model in python
Hello,
I have been working with some high school students to create a model of small pox transmission.
I am somewhat new to python (my programming experience is in f77) so I have borrowed parts of Danny's code that he posted for the Game of Life. I have
Ah, thanks all. I wasn't thinking of base 2 numbers like base 10 -
when you describe it like that, I get i. (100 = 10^2 + 0*10^1 +
0*10^0) I was thinking strictly in terms of a base 10 number described
by flags for each power of 2, which (to me) would logically start from
2^0 and go right.

Thats true.
The problem is that I dont realy understand what is this index thing

I quickly tossed this script together. I manually mv-ed log to log.bak
