I’m going to make a simple point. And because people that know me think I’m a “unfair-Google-aficionado-that-doesn’t-see-how-evil-Google-is”, I’m going to use Android as victim here.
iPhone ruleZ
Other OS? I’m not even taking into consideration old stuff like Symbian: is just too easy to trash it now-days (Qt is a whole different story though).
Android is great… for [...]

Imagine you have a Binary Tree, with those characteristics:
Nodes do not respect any order relation – In other words: it’s not a Binary Search Tree of any kind
Every node appears once and only once within the tree
A nice Binary Tree
Then, your little brother passes by your desk and, to upset you, deletes the tree from [...]

This idea comes out for an old university-time idea: to write a serverless chat application. Of course, I’m aware of the complications and the problems that using Broadcasting could create, so this problems would be took in consideration by design.
But why now? I was thinking of a way to reduce the “office distances”: making easy [...]

Another small problem before I go to sleep tonight:
There is an array A[N] of N numbers.
You have to compose an array Output[N] such that Output[i] will be equal
to multiplication of all the elements of A[N] except A[i].
For example Output[0] will be multiplication of A[1] to A[N-1] and Output[1]
will be multiplication of A[0] and from A[2] [...]

I’m “studying” this algorithmic technique: Backtracking. This is an algorithmic approach to problem solution that I trust every good Computer Scientist already uses; but taking a good theo-practical look at it is something better.
A Backtracking Tree
I believe you can find enough informations about it online (the 2 links I provided are more than enough), so [...]

This is a classical problem of Computer Science: it’s used to study both Greedy and Dynamic Programming algorithmic techniques.
I hate having my pocket full of copper!!! -_-

Given:
A set of n Denominations D[0...n-1] in ascending order, representing a Monetary Coin System
An money amount A, as input
calculate a solution:
S[0...n-1], with 0 <= S[i] <= (A/S[i]) and 0 [...]

For this you need someone to teach it to you: if you made it yourself, then you are a very good Comp-Sci, and you should send your CV to Google ASAP.
Without branching O_o?
Yes, without using any “if ( a < 0 )…”. To do that, you need to refresh how Two’s Complement works, [...]

What’s Pascal’s Triangle? That’s what it is (Wikipedia has all the theory, if you need).
Pascal’s Triangle first 6 rows
The thing I wrote here is a generator of the n-th row of the triangle, that doesn’t use more then the memory needed to store the solution. Instead of allocating a Triangular Matrix, and building every row [...]

Searching a string inside another string is a very easy task. Given a string A and a string B, start a loop over A from left to right and, for every letter, start an internal loop to see if there is a match with the letters of B.
A ball of string
Pseudo code would look something [...]

a dog?

I’m serious.
Help me.
And, anyway, it is already there: it’s the dog of the Landlady.

Beh, parti in un periodo un particolare: a cavallo tra due stagioni! Quindi se fossi in te porterei qualche maglione pesante ed un cappotto o giubbino pesante ma soprattutto abiti con i quali puoi vestirti a strati (soprattutto visto che lì, a londra, hanno i riscaldamenti anche nel metrò
); poi penserei al trucco, ma credo che a te non serva oppure no!? 
Il cibo lo trovi a londra, ma so che molti alla totò e peppino portano qualcosa che magari potrebbe costare di più (come la pasta); nell’appartamento immagino che abbiate la cucina in comune, quindi forse qualche pentolame ti servirebbe, lo compri qui invece che a londra.
hmm…per ora non mi viene in mente altro…ti farò sapere!

Il cibo non costa niente a Londra. E poi io mi adatto benissimo da questo punto di vista.
Per il vestiario, già tutto previsto
Magari aggiungo un giubbino. Penso di portarne solo uno normale ed uno leggero.

Assolutamente una macchinettina del caffè con tanto di Kimbo (o caffè a piacere tuo!).Pentolame lascia stare! Lo troverai lì e poi tieni in conto che viaggi in aereo ed ogni sovrappeso si paga!

Sbat, qui mi ammazzano se ci provo.
Meglio se, dopo i primi stipendi, mi accatto una PSP
