JAVA- Function to determine whether a poker hand is a straight?

Hello, for a homework assignment I was given a Card class that has enumerated types for the Rank and Suit. I am required to compare two pokerhands (each hand is an ArrayList of 5 cards) and decide the winner. The isStraight() function is really bothering me, because I have to start over the count after the Ace. For example, QUEEN, KING...

C program compiled with cygwin in Windows works, segmentation fault under Linux. Is cygwin GCC 'bad'?

For my Programming 102 class we are asked to deliver C code that compiles and runs under Linux. I don't have enough spare space on my hard drive to install Linux alongside Windows, and so I use cygwin to compile my programs. The most recent program I had to give in compiles and runs fine under cygwin. It compiles fine under Linux, but h...

Every graph node is connected with every other node. There are N * (N - 1)/2 edges.

In a graph, every node is connected with every other node, with no redudant connections. That is, if A->B then B doesn't need to go to A. It is still one connection. I know that there are N * (N - 1)/2 Edges. In a loop, it would look like, for(int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) for(int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) I can't remember the for...

In a Unix Environment, is there a way to programmatically call Which in C?

For a project in C, we need to build a shell over a Unix server. It needs to be able to execute functionality native to Unix, and not bash (or any other Unix shell). I am writing a method in the hopes to generalize a call to a command. into a general function: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/wa...

I've paired the gps device with the PDA and I can run the sample program that comes with the gps device and it succesfully streams NMEA strings. In system settings, in GPS set...

Using Taylor Series to Avoid Loss of Precision

I'm trying to use Taylor series to develop a numerically sound algorithm for solving a function. I've been at it for quite a while, but haven't had any luck yet. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The function is f(x)=1 + x - sin(x)/ln(1+x) x~0 Also: why does loss of precision even occur in this function? when x is close to zero, s...

Hi guys, I'm working on a homework question and I've got the answer, but I'm not sure if the terminology I'm using is correct and I was hoping if someone can clarify. Here's the situation: I have a graph in the shape of a rectangle of size M x N. The node at (0, 0) has no incoming edges. All other nodes have incoming edges from the nort...

Complexity calculation

What is the complexity of: int f4(int n) { int i, j, k=1, count = 0; for(i = 0; i < n; i++) { k *= 3; for(j = k; j; j /= 2) count++; } return count; } I know it is O(n^2) but how do you calculate this? and why isn't it n*log n? ...
