Dude, seriously? Didn't you write the message below?

[quote author=naija_swag link=topic=779714.msg9334114#msg9334114 date=1318541477]good thinking good product.nice pseudocode,i followed it and came up with the code below.dealing with p=0 and p = n-1.i know it doesnt run in o(n) time.i have problem analyzing my own code's running time.


public class Solution {

/**
* @param args
*/



public static int equi(int[] A){
int sum = A[0],sum2 = 0;
int p = -1;

for(int i=2;i<A.length;i++){
sum2 += A[i];
}

if((sum2 + A[1]) == 0)
return 0;
if(((sum2 + A[0] + A[1])-A[A.length-1]) == 0)
return p = A.length-1;


if(sum == sum2)
return 1;

for(int k=2;k<A.length;k++){
sum += A[k-1];
sum2 -= A[k];

if(sum==sum2)
return k;
}

return p;

}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

int[] A = {-7,1,5,2,-4,3,0};

System.out.println(equi(A));


}

}[/quote]Seeing as you hate pseudocode, why didn't you attack the pseudocode's author(skydancer)? You even went as far as admitting that it was good pseudo-code; please, quit the doublespeak. We can---if we so desire---solve almost all programming problems, but we'd be doing a great disservice to the programmer since he wouldn't have learnt anything. Saying that the programmers on nairaland who have judiciously decided to teach, not by hand-holding or by outrightly giving the solutions, but by pointing the tutee in the right direction, are half-baked is not only asinine but completely idiotic and unreasonable on your part. Assuming you have had a formal education, did your professor simply hand you the code when you were having problems with your set?

I have contributed tons of code on this site; however, I have only done so when it was either a challenge or when it was presenting a faster code to an already solved problem.
