Optimal algorithm for generating a random number R not in a set of numbers N

I am curious to know what the best way to generate a random integer R that is not in a provided set of integers (R∉N). I can think of several ways of doing this but I'm wondering what you all think. ...

Remove a given element from the other set in a dict of two sets

I have a dict, { "foo": set(["a", "b"]), "bar": set(["c", "d"]) }, and I'm given an element of one of the two sets and the name of the other set. I need to remove that element. How would I go about doing this? My best attempt so far is this: keys = dict.keys() if Element in dict[keys[0]].union(dict[keys[1]]): dict[keys[abs(keys.index(...

Set text field value instantly (without emulated typing)

Hi all, I'm using the below command to set a text input value to "some value" however the value isn't set instantly, instead it's set as if it were typed by a user. That's ok for small values, but I'm using this method to insert a big text inside a textarea and I don't want the emulated typing to occur, I would like the value to be set ...

Can someone explain how to setText from a static using my example?

First I would like to say that I have only worked with java for 1 month now. This is probly a pretty simple question. I searched and the classic fruit example did not make any sense to me.

Python: How to "perfectly" override a dict

How can I make as "perfect" a subclass of dict as possible? The end goal is to have a simple dict in which the keys are lowercase. It would seem that should be some tiny set of primitives I can override to make this work, but all my research and attempts have made it seem like this isn't the case: If I override __getitem__/__setitem__...

Should I randomly shuffle before inserting into STL set?

I need to insert 10-million strings into a C++ STL set. The strings are sorted. Will I have a pathological problem if I insert the strings in sorted order? Should I randomize first? Or will the G++ STL implementation automatically rebalance for me? ...

Iteration order of sets in Python

If I have two identical sets, meaning a == b gives me True, will they have the same iteration order? I tried it, and it works: >>> foo = set("abc") >>> bar = set("abc") >>> zip(foo, bar) [('a', 'a'), ('c', 'c'), ('b', 'b')] My question is, was I lucky, or is this behavior guaranteed? ...

Set transformation

I'm looking for a way to transform a set, and having trouble. This is because the requirements are rather rigorous. Set A contains a bunch of integers, the details are really irrelevant. Set B contains a bunch of integers, such that: Each value in A directly maps to one and only one value in B. Each bit is true in one, and only one, v...

Why doesn't "set -P" work after a pipe?

C:\>type c:\output.txt abcd C:\>type c:\output.txt | set /p V1= C:\>set ... A bunch of junk, NOT seeing "V1" What happened? According to all documentation for SET I've seen, %V1% should have been assigned a value of "abcd" from the above, no? I'm on Windows XP Pro, SP3 if it matters. ...

Invalidating set of pointers through indirection

Consider the following program. It creates a set of pointer-to-ints, and uses a custom indrect_less comparator that sorts the set by the value of the pointed-to integer. Once this is done, I then change the value of one of the pointed-to integers. Then, it can be seen the order of the set is no longer sorted (I suppose because the set...

Does Java's LinkedHashMap maintain the order of keys?

When LinkedHashMap.keySet() is called, will the order of the Set returned be the same as the order the keys were added in? ...

Store SQL Server result set into an array with ASP 3.0

My ASP knowledge is shaky--I haven't used it regularly in years. I'm working with an ASP application. It performs a basic search, returning multiple columns and rows: rs = conn.execute("SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, etc. FROM some tables") While Not rs.EOF Response.Write rs("col1") Response.Write rs("col2") etc. W...

Ordered ListSet

ListSet (collection.immutable.ListSet) is a inverse ordered set. I need ordered set. This is a example of original ListSet: var a = ListSet(1,2,3) var ite = a.iterator ite.next // returns 3 ite.next // returns 2 ite.next // returns 1 And this is a example of I need: var a = ListSet(1,2,3) var ite = a.iterator ite.next // returns 1 it...

Duplicates in QSet

For a class X and a QSet< X* >, how is it possible to make sure that the QSet doesn't contain duplicate elements? The unique property in each object of type X is a QString that can be fetched using getName(). I've implemented the qHash(X*) function, the operator==(), operator<() and operator>(), but the QSet still accepts duplicate elem...

get set property as a bool[] return

This is a very basic question. void Output(int output); -> this enables one single output bool[] Outputs { get; set; } -> This enables multiple output. I need the implementation of this. This is an API declared as a interface. In my class I need to use it. i studied this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/87d83y5b%28VS.80%29....

Algorithm/approximation for combined independent set/hamming distance problem

Input: Graph G Output: several independent sets, so that the membership of a node to all independent sets is unique. A node therefore has no connections to any node in its own set. Here is an example path. since clarification was called for here another re phrasal: divide a given graph into sets so that i can tell a node from all oth...
