I have a file (fasta file to be specific) that I would like to index, so that I can quickly locate any substring within the file and then find the location within the original fasta file. This would be easy to do in many cases, using a Trie or substring array, unfortunately the strings I need to index are 800+ MBs which means that doing...
In this code I am debugging, I have this code snipit: ddlExpYear.SelectedItem.Value.Substring(2).PadLeft(2, '0'); What does this return?

I don't do a...
This originally was a problem I ran into at work, but is now something I'm just trying to solve for my own curiosity. I want to find out if int 'a' contains the int 'b' in the most efficient way possible. I wrote some code, but it seems no matter what I write, parsing it into a string and then using indexOf is twice as fast as doing it...

How can you return a string minus the first character in a string in MySQL? In other words, get 'ello' from 'hello'. The only way I can think to do it is to use mid() with the second offset being larger than the string could possibly be: select mid('hello', 2, 99) But I'm convinced there must be a more elegant way of doing it. Is th...
