I'm trying to sort an array that can contain different types of structures within itself. Right now I can't seem to get it to recursively sort itself when it has subarrays in the root array. In the following code below, I have a test array that contains two sub arrays,...
c++,multithreading,sorting,recursion
I'm having trouble with my C++ code in xCode. I've tried debugging and I can't fix it. I know it's roughly when my mergeSort() method calls my mergeNumbers() method. I know it's not the method itself because I've run the method without threading and it works just fine. It's when...

Suppose I have a list, l<-list(a="",b="",c=list(d="",e=list(f=""),g="")) and it looks like: List of 3 $ a: chr "" $ b: chr "" $ c:List of 3 ..$ d: chr "" ..$ e:List of 1 .. ..$ f: chr "" ..$ g: chr "" Now I want to assign values based on...

I am trying to use the Haskell Diagrams library for drawing binary trees. This is my tree type: data Tree a = Empty | Node { label :: a, left,right :: Tree a } leaf :: a -> Tree a leaf a = Node a Empty Empty This is a...

I have the following code in Java: public static boolean isRoundNumber(String s) { System.out.println("the string is: "+s); if (s.length() == 0) { System.out.println("check 1"); return false; } if (s.length() == 1) { System.out.println("check 2"); return Character.isDigit(s.charAt(0)); } else { System.out.print("checking: " + s.charAt(0)+ " | "); return (Character.isDigit(s.charAt(0)) && isRoundNumber(s.substring(1)));...
c++,pointers,recursion,struct,allocation
So I'm trying to make an algorithm that starts at the first "room" and then recursively goes outward and starts deleting all rooms from the outside in. A room is a struct with 4 "doors" (pointers to rooms): North, South, East, and West. The function takes two arguments: pointer to...
