Impure Functions interact with the outside world, pure functions do not.
Currying is when you break down a function that takes multiple arguments into a series of functions that each take only one argument.
let val = calc.addPure(1, 1);
val = calc.addPure(5, val);
val = calc.addPure(7, val);
Pipe previous value to next operation (Composing)
1 | calc.addPure(1) | calc.addPure(5) | calc.addPure(7)
Function composition is the process of combining two or more functions in order to produce a new function or perform some computation.
const result = R.compose(R.divide(150), R.multiply(5), add(10));
let val = result(5);
Declarative - Spreadsheet formulas
Imperative - jQuery
// Psuedo jquery example
$('#switch').click(() => {
$('#bulb').toggle();
});
// @file light-switch.js
let switchPower = localStorage.getItem('switchPower') || false;
$('#switch').click(() => {
localStorage.setItem('switchPower', !switchPower);
});
// @file bulb.js
let switchPower = localStorage.getItem('switchPower') || false;
$('#bulb').addClass(switchPower ? 'bulb-on' : 'bulb-off');
UI decides how to render based on parameter passed in (state).
In ReactiveX an observer subscribes to an Observable. Then that observer reacts to whatever item or sequence of items the Observable emits.

Google is limiting the scope of political ad targeting
by Alan MartinFacebook has adopted pretty loose political ad rules , Twitter has banned them completely and now Google has revealed it’ll be somewhere in the middle. The company has explained its new approach for election ads: campaigners can target by age, gender and location, but nothing more specific than that.
“While we’ve never offered granular microtargeting of election ads, we believe there’s more we can do to further promote increased visibility of election ads,” wrote Scott Spencer, vice president of Product Management at Google Ads.
“Political advertisers can, of course, continue to do contextual targeting, such as serving ads to people reading or watching a story about, say, the economy. This will align our approach to election ads with long-established practices in media such as TV, radio, and print, and result in election ads being more widely seen and available for public discussion.”
Related: Best web browser
These changes will take “some time” to implement, but Google has a timetable lined up, and it starts with the UK where the looming election has created a sense of urgency. It’ll be here “within a week” before hitting the rest of the EU by the end of 2019. Everywhere else will follow on January 6 2020.
Unlike Facebook, Google has also said it will take a stand on misleading ads and deepfakes. “It’s against our policies for any advertiser to make a false claim — whether it’s a claim about the price of a chair or a claim that you can vote by text message, that election day is postponed, or that a candidate has died,” Spencer wrote.
To make this explicit, the company is clarifying its ad policies and adding examples of things which are considered political no-nos, such as “misleading claims about the census process”, ads with “demonstrably false claims that could significantly undermine participation or trust” and the aforementioned deepfakes.
Related: Best VPN
Perhaps aware that this could be biting off more than it can chew during election time, Spencer adds that “we recognise that robust political dialogue is an important part of democracy” and that nobody can “sensibly adjudicate every political claim, counterclaim and insinuation.” As a result of this, Spencer optimistically states that he doesn’t expect Google to wield the ban hammer very often, but “will continue to do so for clear violations.”
This puts a bit more pressure on Facebook to act, but probably not enough for a clear change of course. After all, it took the shock election of Donald Trump and the sudden scrutiny of grubby online campaigning for CEO Mark Zuckerberg to shift from his professed view that Facebook influencing an election was a “pretty crazy idea.”

KILLER CONDOM [KONDOM DES GRAUENS] A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1997 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 3.5 Alternative Scale: *1/2 out of ****
Germany, 1996 Running Length: 1:47 MPAA Classification: No MPAA Rating (Sex, violence, profanity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 Shown at the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema, 5/8/97, 5/9/97, & 5/10/97
Cast: Udo Samel, Peter Lohmeyer, Iris Berben Director: Martin Walz Producers: Ralph Dietrich, Harold Reichebner Screenplay: Ralf K=F6nig, Martin Walz, and Mario Kramp based on the comics=
by K=F6nig Cinematography: Alexander Honisch In German with subtitles
Penises are being severed left and right. Is Lorena Bobbit on the loose? No, the crimes are actually being committed by the killer condoms, nasty little creatures that look like genuine prophylactics, but, when applied, open wide and chomp down on whatever happens to be between their teeth (I will refrain from making all sorts of off-color, completely obvious jokes at this time). This sort of activity is guaranteed to put a damper on safe sex.
At the Hotel Quickie in New York City, strange things have been happening. Men and women go in, but the men come out missing a critical part of their anatomy. The cops, led by the improbably-named Detective Macaroni (Udo Samel), are called in to investigate. Macaroni, who is gay and proud of it, discovers that staking out the Quickie offers a few fringe benefits, but, when he and a boy-toy are getting down to business in one of the rent-for-an-hour rooms, Macaroni learns firsthand what has been causing all the damage. Fortunately for him, he zigs at the right moment, and only loses a testicle. After recovering from his wound, he mounts an all-out crusade against the killer condoms -- only no one believes his story. That is, until a Presidential Candidate (who becomes known as "Dickless Dick") has a similar encounter.
Is KILLER CONDOM campy? Of course, and the film, which is based on a comic book, is intended to be so from the first frame. The problem is, this is basically a one-joke movie, and the effectiveness of that joke wears off pretty quickly as the penis count mounts. Almost all of the laughs happen during the first fifteen minutes; after that, it's a long, often-tedious run to the end credits. There are several entertaining, but not terribly original parodies (hard-boiled cop stories, JAWS, and PSYCHO), but all these offer is a moment's diversion.
One of the most unintentionally amusing aspects of the film is its choice of language. The entire film takes place in New York City, yet everyone is speaking German. While I'm sure this might seem quite natural to the German audience for which the movie was made, it's pretty funny for an American. Of course, Hollywood has been doing a similar thing for decades. How many movies have been filmed in foreign countries where all of the natives amazingly speak English, albeit with a very bad accent?
In the midst of the lunacy, KILLER CONDOM delivers an anti- homophobic message with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer applied to a glass window. Humor can be an effective tool for highlighting bigotry and social injustice, but it needs to be a little better thought out than what's presented here. The "Sermon on the Mount" at the end is too much even for an over-the-top motion picture of this sort.
Of some interest to U.S. viewers of KILLER CONDOM is how the German film makers see American society. During the movie, we are presented with numerous examples of a cynical perspective of American culture, morals, and, most notably, politics (although perhaps no more scathing than that of some American satirists). Everything is a stereotype, of course, but these attitudes are instructive in illustrating how American society can appear to those on the outside looking in.
As expected, the killer condoms represent the silliest aspect of the whole production. Despite being designed by H. R. Giger (who created the look for the creature in ALIEN), the tiny creatures have not been effectively realized by the special effects team, and, as a result, look rather cheesy. Ultimately, although KILLER CONDOM is fairly gory, unbelievably silly, and unmistakably outrageous, it's not as enjoyable as it should be. There's no doubt, however, that it belongs in the "so bad that it's good" category and has the potential to amass a cult following.

Infrared, near-infrared and Raman spectroscopic data measured during chemical reactions, provide structural fingerprints by which molecules can be identified and quantified. The application of these spectroscopic techniques as inline process analytical tools (PAT), provides the (pharma-)chemical industry with novel tools, allowing to monitor their chemical processes, resulting in a better process understanding through insight in reaction rates, mechanistics, stability, etc. Data can be read into R via the generic spc-format, which is generally supported by spectrometer vendor software. Versatile pre-processing functions are available to perform baseline correction by linking to the 'baseline' package; noise reduction via the 'signal' package; as well as time alignment, normalization, differentiation, integration and interpolation. Implementation based on the S4 object system allows storing a pre-processing pipeline as part of a spectral data object, and easily transferring it to other datasets. Interactive plotting tools are provided based on the 'plotly' package. Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has been implemented to perform multivariate analyses on individual spectral datasets or on multiple datasets at once. NMF provides a parts-based representation of the spectral data in terms of spectral signatures of the chemical compounds and their relative proportions. The functionality to read in spc-files was adapted from the 'hyperSpec' package.

Rodrigo y Gabriela cover Metallica, Slayer & Megadeth on RSD EP (stream “Battery”)
by Andrew SacherAcoustic duo Rodrigo y Gabriela are releasing an EP of metal covers on Record Store Day Black Friday called Mettal. It features covers of Megadeth‘s “Holy Wars,” Slayer‘s “Seasons in the Abyss,” and Metallica‘s “Battery,” the latter of which you can stream below. The whole thing is acoustic and instrumental, and Rodrigo y Gabriela are clearly, uh… masters at this type of interpretation.
Rodrigo y Gabriela are on tour supporting their 2019 album Mettavolution now, with North American dates through December and Monterrey, Mexico’s Pal Norte festival in March of 2020.

Skint Katie Price buckles under weight of designer bags - while Bunny goes barefoot
Cash-strapped Katie Price posed with a pile of expensive designer clobber ahead of her next bankruptcy hearing, but her four-year-old daughter Bunny had to walk through a cold carpark without any shoes on
by Emmeline SaundersKatie Price has shown off her designer clobber just weeks before she risks losing her house in a fresh bankruptcy petition.
The 41-year-old ex-glamour model was spotted carting a load of Louis Vuitton bags outside a hotel while her kids braved the chilly November temperatures without proper attire.
Her youngest child, four-year-old Bunny, scampered around the carpark without any shoes on, despite the cold and wet conditions.
Her five-year-old brother Jett walked next to his mum without a coat on, while Bunny's fleecy jacket hung off her shoulders.
Katie herself wasn't particularly well equipped for the weather as she showed off her legs in a grey Gucci jumper dress and matching platform trainers.
She carried a Vuitton weekend bag on one hand and had three more designer bags over her shoulders.
It comes just three weeks ahead of Katie's next bankruptcy hearing, in which she risks being made homeless before Christmas if she has failed to pay off her mounting debts by then.
She faces losing her nine-bedroom mucky mansion - which has been undergoing a major refurbishment recently - when her case is heard later this month at the Insolvency and Companies Court.
Last year saw the mum of five swerve bankruptcy by agreeing to pay off her debts through an IVA.
But at a hearing last month, the court heard how Price has allegedly failed to keep up with her monthly repayments.
She failed to appear at the hearing, prompting Judge Sally Barber to instruct Katie's creditors to email her and send her a draft bankruptcy petition notice in the post.
"Technically it's not an adjournment so I'm extending time," said the judge.
"Service will be effective on the expiry of seven days of completion of such sending of the email and such posting.
"Once you've done both, service will be effective on the expiry of seven days. I also extend the time for hearing the bankruptcy petition - I think six weeks."
Katie is due to be back in court on November 27.
Mirror Online has contacted Katie's rep for comment.


What I Do
I (mostly) specialize in web design, development and penetration testing! Here’s a taste of what I do:
- Web Development! This is the core of what I do, and because of that I make an effort to keep up with the latest in an ever-changing field. From the frontend to backend and everything in between, I can make magic happen.
- UI/UX Design! I build products with humans in mind - with simple, straightforward, and joyful user interfaces. The general rule of thumb is that if you need to explain how to use your product, then it’s too complex.
- Cyber-Security & Penetration testing I enjoy finding bugs and obviously reporting them in bug bounty programs in my free time. Read more here
What I am Learning
I consider myself to be a lifetime learner. Here are skills I am working on improving in the near future:
- Guitar! I am learning how to play guitar because playing the guitar is the most popular of the instruments people want to learn and be in peace, to relax. The guitar is used for so many songs and is a blast to play at friend and family gatherings.
- Psychology! I want to understand why people do things the way they do, not just in the physical world but also digital world. That’s why I am studying human computer-interaction in my free time, to better understand the diverse mindset of users.
Things I Love
This can be summed up in 3 words:
- Music! 🎶 Listening to music is the one thing I always do while coding or in my free time. Trust me.
- Burgers! Actually I’m foodie. People eat to live & I live to eat. So, I prefer to try all dishes once. What about Coffee?!
- Delhi Metro! I like travelling in metro roaming whole New Delhi, what more can I say?
Important Notices
- This website contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information: Proposition 65 (1984)
- I use Google Analytics to track how users interact with my site by collecting non-personal information (such as closest city, browser location, operating system, screen size, window size, pages visited, dwell time). This data is used to improve my site. You can opt-out by enabling your browser’s “Do Not Track” or “Tracking Protection” settings, or by installing DuckDuckGo’s Privacy Essentials.

What are the three parts of a GUI program?
Let's start with the graphical components. These must be placed inside a container. Visually, a container is a rectangular area of the monitor screen and its components are smaller areas within it.
In Java, a frame is a window that has nice borders, various buttons along the top border, and other built in things. What you usually call a "window" Java calls a "frame". A frame is a container object, so GUI components can be placed in it.
Like all software objects, a frame object is actually a section of main memory that holds information and methods. With the help of the operating system and the graphics board, Java paints a picture on the computer monitor that represents the frame. People often speak as if the frame were the actual picture on the monitor. In fact, what you see on the monitor is just a graphical representation of the frame.
GUI application programs are usually organized around one or more frames.

Ohio University and Athens are home to a plethora of options for every type of performer and every lover of performance. Whether you’re a theater geek, stand-up star or dance lover, OU and Athens have opportunities for all of your artistic needs.
Blue Pencil Comedy is a stand-up comedy group that offers sessions for comedians to come, pitch their jokes and receive feedback, Shona Young, a rising junior studying integrated media, who is involved with the group, said. The group does open mic nights Saturdays at 8 p.m. in Front Room Coffee House in Baker Center, allowing any first timer who comes to the meeting an hour before in Baker 341 a spot.
“All of the members want to help one another succeed,” Young said. “Everyone there has a different way of thinking about things and a different level of experience, so there’s no pressure to be perfect. And there’s no requirement to perform right away. Everybody can take that step at their own pace. It’s a great chance to build your confidence, both in your own ideas and with public speaking.”
Occasionally, the group does themed performances at Donkey Coffee on Fridays at 8 p.m. as well.
As featured in a previous Post report, Lost Flamingo Theatre Company is Ohio University’s only student-run theater company. Each semester, the group puts on four productions, three straight plays and a musical. The group is best known for its yearly fall production of Rocky Horror Picture Show, performed with a shadow cast as the movie plays behind them.
The students in the group plan every aspect of the productions: directing, stage managing, performing and everything else.
“The little things we do to improve the company slowly make it more welcoming to people and just make it feel like a home for people who want to find a little corner here. We want to take all of the lost flamingos and give them a home,” Mikayla Chilenski, 2019-2020 president of LFC and an OU graduate, said in the previous Post report.
“We are a very judgment free, very positive group of people, and we welcome everybody. You don't have to have any dance experience at all to join our group. Some people have never danced a day in their lives, and some of them have been dancing their entire lives, so we just encourage everybody to come on out. It's such a fun time.”Maddy McGuire, President of OU Vibrations
OU Vibrations is a campus dance group welcoming anyone to come and dance in many different styles, President Maddy McGuire, a rising senior studying energy engineering, said. The group has a class session each week that welcomes those of all levels of ability. The different styles taught range from jazz to Irish dancing.
The group also has an audition-based group that puts together dances to be performed for different events around campus as well as a spring show. This group also performs in a range of styles.
“We are a very judgment free, very positive group of people, and we welcome everybody,” McGuire said. “You don't have to have any dance experience at all to join our group. Some people have never danced a day in their lives, and some of them have been dancing their entire lives, so we just encourage everybody to come on out. It's such a fun time.”
The F-word members like to brand themselves as a queer and feminist F-Word performance group, Connor Beeman, president of the group and a rising senior studying creative writing and women’s, gender and sexuality studies, said.
The group provides a space for different types of artists, including visual, poetry and performance, to come together and have a space to share their art. The group meets weekly on Sundays and has a big show once per semester.
“It's just a really good space to express yourself and make these connections without, like, intense pressure or responsibility,” Beeman said. “We just want to be a place you can come and share your art and express yourself.”
Additionally, the group participates in activism each year, Beeman said. This year, the group supported OU Fun Facts, a group protesting the cutting of OU Faculty.
The area surrounding OU is not short on opportunities either. ABC Players, a community theater organization, has been around since 1973, Jim Parsons, who has worked with ABC players for many years, said.
The group puts on four to five shows per year, Celeste Parsons, who has also been involved with ABC Players for many years, said. The group does its shows at Stuart’s Opera House in Nelsonville and has opportunities for anyone who wants to get involved in any way.
“We are doing the best quality theater that we possibly can do,” Celeste Parsons said. “It's a wonderful opportunity to work in a diverse group of people of all ages, and we particularly would like to encourage all you students, I think, because we know that (you) are among our future.”
For those needing transportation to off-campus locations, Jim Parsons said that a carpool could be arranged.

Pretty much an elaborate version of "life sucks". But this truly relates to what we have to go through. We live everyday trying to get what we want be doing something, be that work or something else.
However, when we are about to get what we want, it always eludes us!
What I'm talking about is my concept of the Absurdity. But I have a solution: enjoy the grind. Not exactly the work itself but the good things you have while you do the work. Your friends, family, colleagues all surround you. Cherish them, because no one knows when they'll start rolling down the hill away from you. It's these small things in life that make the big struggle liveable.
My far less handsome counterpart, Sartre, and I fought over what would consitute a better world. I used this as well. We can't tell if our sacrifices will actually every be in vain or not.


| Adding all frames from another MD3 | |

11、ENGE5310 Science Fiction and Utopia 科幻小说与乌托邦
This course examines the political and social dimension of science fiction writing. It does so by interrogating the different forms of utopia and dystopia presented in a number of science fiction films and novels. The course begins by tracing the concept of utopia back to its early literary origins in order to reveal its deeply political nature. Following this, we begin to think about the different forms of utopia and dystopia presented in science fiction writing, and begin to develop an understanding of utopia and dystopia as the product of a distinct critique of contemporary society. To this end, the course critiques three main staging grounds of utopia in science fiction – society; time and space; and, the body.
12、ENGE5320 American Literature 美国文学
This course is designed as an introductory survey to American Literature from the turn of the Twentieth century to the present. The course will deal primarily with fiction, although some poetry will also be discussed. Representative figures include but are not limited to: Edith Wharton, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Vladimir Nabokov, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Paul Auster.
13、ENGE5330 Modernist Literature 现代主义文学
In this course, we will examine various modernist fiction, essays and poetry in order to understand not only the formal and innovative aspects of modernism, but also some of the historical and material conditions which propelled the literary movement of modernism into being in the first place. We will consider such wide-ranging historical issues as imperialism, modernity, war, and female emancipation, and see how these helped shape both the form and content of modernist literature. The course will involve extremely close reading of the texts, with the goals to re-introduce students to terminology useful in literary analysis, and to teach methods to analyze and understand the formal and technical complexities of literary modernism.
14、ENGE5710 Critical Approaches in Literary Studies 文学研究中的批评方法
The course aims at providing the students with an orientation of critical and interpretive approaches required of graduate studies in literature in a cross-cultural context. Various literary and critical paradigms from Western and Chinese traditions will be reviewed with a discussion of the basic issues in interpretation theory and criticism. The course will also focus on the implications of recent orientations in social sciences and philosophy for literary studies. Students will be required to identify their own research interests and pursue textbased case studies on problems or topics in criticism and interpretive theory that are involved in the interdisciplinary studies of literature.
15、ENGE5720 Comparative Approaches in Literary Studies 文学研究中的文学研究中的批评方法
The course serves as an introduction to the advanced study of literature from comparative perspectives. With a view to enhancing their ability in identifying problems and topics for research, students will be familiarized, through team-work instruction, with the basic techniques and methods of bibliographical research and textual criticism. This will involve the use of specific primary texts. Emphasis will be put on giving the students an overview of historical as well as current research in the field. The concept of comparative literature will be investigated along with the various cultural as well as literary issues particularly involved in the studies of literature in the Chinese-Western context. Traditional areas of research, such as influence and reception, themes and motifs, genres and forms, and interrelations of literature and art, will be reviewed in the light of recent literary and cultural theories. In this course students will have to read major literary and critical texts with regard to the various perspectives on comparative literature.

Ode to A Change of Seasons
The sadness rests, the thoughts run through Of the darkest of times: a death gathering heard, But a funeral is given to who? Surely to a brave soul belongs this word. What is it changing seasons surely show; What changes like the years, in one? What great feelings does it bring to me, What troubles does it help us know? Of whom do we think in the bright red sun? The disk brings bright thought of life to me.
The crimson sun rises in the distance. It brings back memories of old, brighter days. Days when my young mind was marked with innocence, Then seeking knowledge was my way. Like green leaves fading to orange and gold That fall and blow away in autumn winds, So the thoughts continue, though I struggle to hold on. My own failures in my mind stand out bold. Ignorance alone surrounds my lonely mind. For the first time there is nothing to concentrate on.
The tunes take me to a dramatic change. Years ago in the coldness of fall season A man did in the hall arrange A speech to avid students of reason. The message he gave was “Carpe Diem! Gather ye rosebuds while ye may”. Then the student returned back home. He appreciated life again and redeemed Himself in the eyes of his friends that day, Just in time, for then she was lost in the foam.
The seasons have changed and so have I: From my youthful ignorance to aged wisdom. The greatest lesson I’ve learned is in our reply To time, to whom we all fall victim. Times have passed that can’t be relived. Life always continues, though it never goes straight. But now as the crimson sun sets, The knowledge from wisdom I will try to give To my young son, it’s taught only by fate. I’ve done what I could, at last I can rest.

EARLIER @11.00AM | A grass fire has broken out in Biggera Waters this morning, right near Harbour Town Premium Outlets.
Emergency services rushed to the corner of Brisbane Road and Olsen Ave just before 11.00am.
Three fire fighter crews are currently on scene, though the blaze isn’t expected to spread too far.
It’s unclear what sparked the blaze.
The rural fire service is warning that there will be smoke in the area for some time.
It comes as fires across the state prepare for worsening conditions, with temperatures heading into the late 20s today and into the early 30s tomorrow.
The Gold Coast’s fire danger rating has been escalated to ‘very high’.

Another solution for repetition
The idea of recursion is not a commonly used word. So, it seems a bit confusing to the novice programmer trying to understand the idea behind it. I am learning to program and to my understanding Recursion is the idea that a function calls itself. Pretty simple, right? Well not really. Recursion is used to take a big problem and start breaking it down into smaller and smaller pieces ("Divide and Conquer") and continuing to feed their solutions back into the original function until some sort of answer is achieved and the whole chain unwinds. I am a visual learner so I hope that the following example gives you a slight understanding of what recursion does.
For a recursive algorithm to terminate you need a base case (e.g. a condition where the function does not call itself recursively again).
#Example 1: Counting down def countdown(n) # base case which helps break out of the recursion return n if n.zero? puts n # The recursion call testing the following number in the line eg. 5 - 1 = 4 countdown(n-1) end countdown(5) #=>5 #=>4 #=>3 #=>2 #=>1
Example 2: Finding the factorial of a number def factorial(n) # base case which helps break out of the recursion if n == 0 1 else # The recursion call n * factorial(n-1) end end factorial(5) #=>120
Now you may be asking yourself why use recursion when you can get the simple solution using a loop. Well, remember how in ruby there is always an easier way to accomplish somethings. Recursion adds clarity and sometimes reduces the time needed to write and debug code. The problem with recursion is that is is a bit slower and it uses more computer memory. If you are not careful you can get a stack overflow. A Stack overflow is an undesirable condition in which a particular computer program uses more memory space than it has available causing your program to crash.Read this explanation on stack
In conclusion, any problem you can solve recursively you can also solve using the iterators that you know and love. If you find yourself saying "why didn't I just use a while loop here?" then you probably should have. To my understanding there is a balance of when using recursion or not and this is something we are going to learn in Phase 1.  Check out the resources I found on recursion that may be helpful for you. Good Luck out there and like always keep on Coding.

This is probably the easiest problem in the entire set of lessons. An `ad hoc' problem, no particular algorithms or tricks are needed save one: one must be careful to get the input without processing the newline on the end!
Here is a prototype solution:
#include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> int hash(char *s) { int i, h; h = 1; for(i=0; s[i] && isalpha(s[i]); i++) h = ((s[i]-'A'+1)*h) % 47; return h; } void main(void) { FILE *in, *out; char comet[100], group[100]; /* bigger than necessary, room for newline */ in = fopen("input.txt", "r"); out = fopen("output.txt", "w"); fgets(comet, sizeof comet, in); fgets(group, sizeof group, in); if(hash(comet) == hash(group)) fprintf(out, "GO\n"); else fprintf(out, "STAY\n"); exit (0); }
Solutions generally run in under 0.01 seconds.
Canada's Iain Found created this straightforward solution (which has been slightly modified to make the highest quality presentation here):
""" LANG: PYTHON2 """ with open('ride.in', 'r') as fin: comet1 = fin.readline().strip() comet2 = fin.readline().strip() prod1, prod2 = 1, 1 for c in comet1: prod1 *= ord(c) - ord('A') + 1 for c in comet2: prod2 *= ord(c) - ord('A') + 1 with open('ride.out', 'w') as fout: if prod1 % 47 == prod2 % 47: fout.write('GO\n') else: fout.write('STAY\n')Note that a couple important features are included:
USACO alumnus Tyler Adams created this more functional-programming-oriented solution:
""" LANG: PYTHON2 """ def char_to_num(c): return ord(c) - ord('A') + 1 def line_to_code(s): nums = map(char_to_num, s) code = reduce(lambda x,y: x*y, nums) % 47 return code with open("ride.in", "r") as input_file: raw_lines = input_file.readlines() lines = map(lambda s: s.strip(), raw_lines) codes = map(line_to_code, lines) should_go = codes[0] == codes[1] with open("ride.out", "w") as output_file: if should_go: output_file.write("GO\n") else: output_file.write("STAY\n")Note the good choice of variable names in both of these Python solutions. Don't miss that even though some lines could be combined, that compression is not performed in interest of creating a program that is debuggable and maintainable.
