My son texted us this morning from school, and said that one of his class comrade committed suicide /edit: on the day before, at home. (My son is 15, so was he). No friend of his, and a rather lonely guy (nah...), but still...
Class was canceled and the school organized psy support sessions in small groups for the rest of the day.
Ouch. He had not been confronted to death until now (my grandpa died some ten years ago, my son was too little to remember and realize), so this is rather brutal. I just cannot think about the parents of that poor kid...

Hmmm, but why? is the question being asked I bet.

Definitely - I think we will know more when he is home.
This is just insane.

Tragic but sadly not a new phenomenon.
A billion years ago when I was in 8th grade (14 y/o) a classmate (popular, funny, intelligent) hung himself in his bedroom closet. No note, no explanation. His twin sister found him.
A couple years later a 15 y/o old neighbor went missing. They found him after 3 days with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He'd walked to a nearby cemetery. He was a clean cut kid that always followed the rules. His note said he didn't want to leave a mess for his mother to clean-up (hence the cemetery) and couldn't live with the shame that he'd tried smoking pot while at summer camp a few weeks prior.
Bottom line - teenagers are a mental nightmare of undeveloped brains, hormones and angst. Throw in the pressures of modern life (even worse today with social media) and we have a recipe for disaster.

Yep, but teens nor their parents are willing to give it up. Then they want to know 'why?' when the inevitable happens.

My daughter is in 7th. Classmate of hers died by suicide this year. Super tragic, really shook the class.

no any reason?

here is the code-
public static int partition(int array[],int start,int end)
{
int pivot_index=(start+end)/2;
int pivot=array[pivot_index];
int i=start;
int j=end;
while(i<j)
{
="" while(array[i]<pivot)
="" i++;
="" }
="" while(="" array[j]="">pivot)
{
j--;
}
if(i

1) Read the red text at the top of this page: No programming questions in the Lounge.
2) You have already posted this in QA:
Cannot implement quick sort algorithm using pivot as middle element.how do I solve it?[^]
3) You still haven't fixed the problem with what you posted in QA - namely, the code you have pasted is corrupt and incomplete.

Even if that was complete, and formatted, and top quality code ... why are you posting it here?
We all wrote bubble sort, quicksort, double bubble, and such like when we were students. We pretty much don't write them now because we have optimised versions in libraries that we "just call" - there are exceptions, but they tend to be both rare and specialized and that code is neither - so why would we be interested in it.
Unless it doesn't work, and you need help - in which case it's rather rude of you to just ignore the writing in read at the top of the page ...

Please sort yourself and sort this code out.

So are you going to listen to the comments on the other copy of this you posted?
If not, you're not going to get anywhere on your assignment.

I found a Visual Studio 97 Enterprise Edition in original, unopened packaging...

I always get a sneaky suspicion these types of downloads (Microsoft has never dropped copyright claims for any version of VS) - might include "a little extra" that wasn't on the original discs...

If you send me 100 $ Ill take it off your hands

Listen, you guys ...
Noone will buy this because they need access to VS97! This is a offered as a Collector's Item. That kind of stuff tends to be a lot more valuable in the original packaging, especially of the plastic foil is not broken.
I can easily imagine collectors willing to pay a significant amount of money for this item. Maybe CP is not the right forum. I wouldn't expect it to be - we are developers, makers and users of software. Not collectors.
So hang onto this item until you com across true collectors, even if the CP response you have received is rather discouraging.

I have little Houdinis Hendinis.
I think animals are compromising the fence around the chicken run because they keep finding ways to escape.
They like eating grass, so they're always trying to get out of their run. Grass won't grow wherever chickens are because they scratch at it and eat it until it's gone from the roots, so their run doesn't have any.
The other day, the neighbors dog was loose and cornered my escaped chickens. I have anxiety and am prone to panic attacks, and I had to talk myself down from one quickly and chase after the dog. I twisted my ankle in the process. It still hurts.
Himself went to LA to a conference for 4 days, and every day the chickens were getting out. I had my head on a swivel, was getting paranoid and really anxious. I was miserable the whole time.
It got to the point where I insisted we get rid of the chickens. That's a fight I wasn't winning, so I at least am making him set up Wyze cams in the run.
Because I already have WSL running and Wyze only works on Android or iOS I got Windows Subsystem for Android running, and apps sideloaded from google store. I now can run linux, android, and windows apps like native applications. It's brilliant.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Yeah, but why would the chickens want Linux or Android?

Could the "Why did the chicken cross the road" mystery finally be solved?
