I need to come up with an algorithm t...

Something similar to th...

Some of the items in the site have 3 character titles, however, and I'd like to include them in the results. (I've ruled out using more robust search appliances like Solr due to budget co...
Is there a way to sort an array of strings in alphabetical order where the strings contain both capital and lowercase letters?

How can I replace the contents of strings with #'s in Python? Assume no comments, no multiple lines for one string. Like if there is a line in a python file: print 'Hello' + "her mom's shirt".
