Perform a bitwise XOR on two equal sized buffers. The buffers will be required to be the python str type since this is traditionally the type for data buffers in python. Return the resultant value as a str. Do this as fast as possible.
The inputs are two 1 megabyte (2**20 byte) strings.

            Hi,
I found this puzzle in a C aptitude paper.
void change()
{
    //write something in this function so that output of printf in main function
    //should always give 5.you can't change the main function
}
int main()
{
    int i = 5;
    change();
    i = 10;
    printf("%d", i);
    return 0;
}
Any solutions.?

            Hi guys,
I found this on the internet.
It looks good an interview question.
I guess I got the working correct but programatically I haven't tried it.

  You are given an integer n. Return the smallest integer greater than or equal to n that
  contains exactly k distinct digits in decimal notation.

            Hey all, 
I'm trying to do some templating optimizations and I'm wondering if it is possible to do something like this:
function table_with_lowercase($data) {
    $out = '<table>';
    for ($i=0; $i < 3; $i++) { 
        $out .= '<tr><td>';
        $out .= strtolower($data);
        $out .= '</td></tr>';
    }
    $out .= "</table>";

  In its simplest form, it is a way of
  coloring the vertices of a graph such
  that no two adjacent vertices share
  the same color; this is called a
  vertex coloring. Similarly, an edge

            Background
I recently read that .NET 4's System.String class has a new overload of the Join method. This new overload takes a separator, and an IEnumerable<T> which allows arbitrary collections to be joined into a single string without the need to convert to an intermediate string array.
Cool! That means I can now do this:

If the string is equal to 16 chars doesn't have the null byte at the end.
