Pratsit, more like.
Why didn't Charles think of doing this, decades ago? I'm sure ER indoors wouldn't have minded handing the reigns over to Anne.

No. I don't own 750 Rubik Cubes.
I could build a very pixelated image of John Cena out of one though*

Again with the logic issues!
It's a hideously inefficient and imprecise way to make a picture, but, for whatever peculiar reasons, he and his parents find logic in this inefficiency and imprecision (which will absolutely not get him into art school).
Are crayons banned, in his house, to prevent him drawing on the walls (which is tricky to do with Rubik's cubes)?

Pfft ... he's got a cheat sheet in front of him. He's a good "cuber", but probably a lousy artist (software)
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

In C# I took my lex from .045 msec to .028 msec by changing the lists i was using to arrays.
This despite the fact that there were no reallocs happening in those lists (i already checked)
_Fiber[] currentFibers, nextFibers, tmp;
int currentFiberCount=0, nextFiberCount=0;
is simply faster than this
IList<_Fiber> currentFibers,nextFibers,tmp;
Conventional wisdom is lists are about as good as arrays perfwise as long as your capacity is high enough.
Conventional wisdom can get bent

That probably hasn't been true from the time CPUs got caches. Stroustrup himself says as much.
Mircea - I would put a smart quote in my signature if I wouldn't be so lazy and if smart quotes wouldn't be so overused.

Well, Microsoft's .NET soothsayers would tell him otherwise, but he's right.
Adding: After reading that link it looks like Bjarne and I aren't talking about quite the same thing.
Basically if this was C++ and not C# I'd be complaining that arrays are faster than std::vector, not lists

Reference Source. Makes some sense. You're saving 17 microseconds and all of those checks and calls cost some amount of time. My thoughts have always been that lists are better as a default because you can abstract them (e.g. IList<t>) and you don't need to worry about bounds, while arrays are better when optimizing critical sections for performance (indirection has a cost).

This is one of the few areas where i need every microsecond i can get.
It's a virtual machine that runs a regular expression match as per here:
Regex as a Tiny "Threaded" Virtual Machine[^]
It seems trivial but this code itself ends up being part of an inner loop of an inner loop when it's being driven by a parser.
It needs to be as efficient as it can be.
My hope in using lists initially was that the framework would minimize the impact of bounds checking in the ngen'd corlib beyond what arrays already do internally but i guess that was wishful thinking

array is not only supposed to predictively as fast as foreach loop on list
but I am not sure I quite believe it...
The difference is only very minor though.. and would be important if your statement each iteration is quite minimal...

foreach itself has some performance issues as it requires object creation.
I need to eke every clock cycle I can out of this routine.
Normally I only optimize when i can make algorithmic improvements, but my algo is already tight for what it does.
Sometimes even in the days of powerful computers, we still need to bit twiddle every once in awhile. Lexer routines are a good example of where.

The goal of this is to produce a small program to solve a physical problem with numerical data. An electron of
charge −e and mass me is moving at a speed v(t = 0) = vex in the plane Oxy between the two plates of a capacitor.
The field is given by E= Eey. The only force is Lorentz F=qE. Plot the trajectory of this electron.
Python code: plot the trajectory of this electron; use matplotlib.pyplot to plot and scipy.integrate.ode
to solve the problem.

Wrong place to post this: as it says in red at the top of the page you need to be here: Ask a question[^]
But ... we aren't here to do your homework anyway. We are more than willing to help those that are stuck: but that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.
So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.
So if you do post this in the right place, you'll need to explain all of that, or you won't get help - we do not do your homework for you.

I didn't understand scipy part, how can I use it? And what for?
|
|
|
|

Easy.
SciPy is a free and open-source Python library used for scientific computing and technical computing. SciPy contains modules for optimization, linear algebra, integration, interpolation, special functions, FFT, signal and image processing, ODE solvers and other tasks common in science and engineering. (copied from wikipedia.org)
The solution to your problem might need to use one of the models in SciPy.

I suspect that you will find your tutor covered that library in your last lecture - they normally do just before setting homework requiring it ...

tutors, smuters ...I've got CodeProject (or that other one).
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

I got my Pike Virtual Machine for running regexs coded and it's a fun little widget;
L0000: split L0001, L0008, L0020, L0024
L0001: save 0
L0002: set "A".."Z", "_", "a".."z"
L0003: split L0004, L0006
L0004: set "0".."9", "A".."Z", "_", "a".."z"
L0005: jmp L0003
L0006: save 1
L0007: match 0
L0008: save 0
L0009: split L0010, L0012
L0010: char "0"
L0011: jmp L0018
L0012: split L0013, L0014
L0013: char "-"
L0014: set "1".."9"
L0015: split L0016, L0018
L0016: set "0".."9"
L0017: jmp L0015
L0018: save 1
L0019: match 1
L0020: save 0
L0021: set "\t", "\n", "\v", "\f", "\r", " "
L0022: save 1
L0023: match 2
L0024: save 0
L0025: any
L0026: save 1
L0027: match -1
That lexes a regex with an id (match 0), integer (match 1) or whitespace (match 2)
My little compiler generated that when I called this:
int[][] prog = Regex.CompileLexer(
@"[A-Z_a-z][A-Z_a-z0-9]*",
@"0|(\-?[1-9][0-9]*)",
@"[ \t\r\n\v\f]"
);
The instructions are encoded as an array of ints per, while the overarching instruction stream is int[][]. This way i can pass it around without requiring dependencies, and I can implement the VM/interpreter in an outside library without requiring a reference to an Instruction class or something.
The thing that's cool about this machine is it's cooperatively threaded. I'm tickled about that. Split jumps to multiple locations "at the same time." so it's concurrent. In reality this was a neat trick wherein i interleave the execution of each thread so i don't have to backtrack over the input.
It's the coolest project I've made this year, and the article is already getting underrated at codeproject. 
I think people ph33r regex.
Still, it's so much fun.
Thanks @BillWoodruff for finding my bug that inspired my misguided .NET unicode rant

Yeah, that really surprised me, as I thought what you're doing here is really the coolest thing since sliced bread. Oh well, go figure.
