Hi. Does anyone recognize this sort algorithm? BOOL swap; tagFileNode* TempNode; int i, j, diff = 0; for (j = _NodeCount / 2; j > 0; j /= 2) { swap = true; while (swap) { swap = false; for (i = 0; i + j < _NodeCount; ++i) { if (compare(_NodeList[i...

While it is true my experience in computers goes back to the bad old analog days from 1960 and then after upgrading to digital sometime in 1968, when I left the Air Force, I finished my BSEE/Computer Science degrees. Then, 33 years later I retired to laptops and yard work. While this preamble...

Hi everyone, I'm currently learning about binary tree traversals, and I'm having trouble understanding preorder traversal in binary tree. Can someone please explain it to me in a simple way? I understand that preorder traversal visits the root node first, followed by the left subtree, and then...

One hundred and thirteen years ago in New York, a girl was born into a generation where the average woman was more likely to perfect a signature pie recipe than solve a pi-based equation. Pushing against expectations, this girl became one of the pre-eminent technologists of our times and made it...

I am interested in learning computer language and I wanted to know what one would be easier to learn fast

Back to running Windows-7-pro. Still more solid than 8.1 or beta-10. I have 16-gigs of ram on the board. Windows-7 sees it, but I often wondered if it actually uses it. I had the pagefile at 12-gigs. So I did a test. I moved 38-gigs from one sata drive to another sata drive. The desktop...

hey everyone, usually i can figure this stuff out on my own, im a technical computer science major, but right now im just stuck for once, i have a hp p6520y quad core desktop which i purchased unmodified and working great, windows 7 home prem 64 bit after 2 months of using the...
