You can probably use the Gnu Java compiler directly (if installed) by using the command 'gcj' instead of 'javac'.

Did you install it from the universe repositories? If so there must be someone you can ask on the Boa or Ubuntu dev sides to fix it...

Boa has code completion and form designer ... the only thing...

It's easier to check these things if you draw it out, but basically as dx increased (moving right) you gave more weight to the point with lower floor(x) (the left point), making your interpolated...

For Python RAD also consider Boa-Constructor.

Try replacing


float Top = DX * Terrain3 + ( 1.0F - DX ) * Terrain4;
float Bottom = DX * Terrain1 + ( 1.0F - DX ) * Terrain2;
with

float Top = DX * Terrain4 + ( 1.0F - DX ) *...

Beachballs are also funny.

The Daily Worse Than Failure has some programming stories that make you want to bash your head against the wall...

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python is also quite good.

Look for those which give their platform as 'cross platform' or 'Linux'.

If you already have Lazarus installed, that's probably the easiest way to write cross platform GUI programs in Pascal. Lazarus is meant to be an open source clone of Delphi, which is a RAD (rapid...

One of the main points of OOP with inheritance is to avoid switch statements or prolonged if tests:


#!/usr/bin/env python

class food:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def...

Ok. Here's another alternative: C++ with a garbage collector.

Googling for linux clipboard, it seems that it depends on the desktop. E.g. for gnome you can use gtk clipboard functions:

There is one case: runtime code generation. Compile time optimizations won't help there. A number of lisp implementations provide a compiler as part of the runtime and I think there's a lisp regular...

That is already valid C99. It is also supported by g++ and will likely be valid C++ in the next standard.

Isn't this what Valgrind is for?

And I don't understand why people say C/C++ when programming in pure C is very different to using the OOP and template extensions C++ is capable of. In fact you...

Also check out the R/SPlus-Python Interface which lets you call R functions from Python! There are some statistical packages for Python but currently much more limited than R.

But every time it has a stroke or heart attack, the banks rush it into I.C.U. :)

Even if Cobol seemed like a good idea at the time, I think it (and many better languages) will die simply because...

Is this less confusing?



#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello world");
return 0;
}

Dylan was an attempt at Lisp with more common syntax. It still has macros (Dylan stands for DYnamic LANguage) but they are hygienic, more like Scheme's.

I don't know anyone who uses Dylan though....

Check out the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science section of MIT OpenCourseWare.

That depends whether by 'items' you mean the items you are sorting, or their possible values...

Radix sort is a bit more scalable - just change 20 to another power of 2.


def sortbyradix(n,...

Pigeonhole sort is very scalable (linear time) in the length of the sequence, so long as all the numbers in the sequence come from a small set ;)

Mergesort in Haskell:


merge x [] = x

Not in Python as such, but if you're doing serious numerical workouts you should consider the numpy (numeric python) and scipy (scientific python) packages :-D

I can't be sure since I went the other way, but I'd hazard a guess that it's fairly easy to learn other languages once you've grokked the concepts from python.

For ease of introduction I think...
