You guys are the ones keeping it alive for him. Even me, I don't know what's making me come back once in a while to the forum, there's absolutely nothing attractive on the site. Just a haven for tribalistic and religious zealots. It's also absolutely useless for programmers. The programming section is filled with idiotic topics. And the front page? The less said about that, the better. Just make a decision today to stop visiting the website, you lose nothing. Change begins with you.
ProgrammingRe: Do We Have Competent Programmer From Scratch In Nigeria? by orimion(m): 10:17pm On Jul 13, 2018
webapi:
There are wordpress developers and they are also called web developers. Creating a wordpress platform from scratch is more difficult than create a web app with laravel (i use both though) but my point is, not everyone that uses wordpress are non-developers... Facebook uses wordpress, does that mean the facebook team are non-developers? What matters is use the platform that suits your need.
Facebook using WordPress? Nothing you won't hear in this world. Does Google use joomla? WordPress developer, a software developer? Ha!

Croatia Play draw with Iceland and

Nigeria draw Argentina in the last match, we will qualify for the next round.

Oya guys let's do our normal permutation. Even Buhari self go calculate join.

If Croatia win Argentina,Nigeria beat Iceland, we go qualify?

(a+b-1)*gcd(x,y) to get the total count of cells in any condition...
here I tested your answer with mine for every possible pair combination of the arrays [356, 357,... 800] and [119, 120,...715. Both gave the same answer. The language is haskell. Please try to do in your preferred language

Minus GCD of what and what? I appreciate your effort but please don't just google and implement straight away..

Although I really commend your effort and at this stage you have gotten to I'd really like to know you more.... (That's for another day though, let's not derail) because you're getting a tad bit close to the actual efficient solution..but your answer is just not correct as it lacks mathematical logic..
let v = gcd of x and y
let n = number of cells

n = (x + y) - v

I just realized if x = y, gcd of x and y = x = y cheesy

I only googled the meaning of gcd (and found out it meant hcf, americans with their naming wahala cheesy) and used "v" hint you provided
ProgrammingRe: Challenge Me by orimion(m): 1:11pm On Oct 23, 2017
DanielTheGeek:
Really nice shot, but this is not correct....it's not also efficient, it seems you didn't get the question correctly... We are trying to calculate or come up with a formula that calculates the amount of cells a line passes through from the origin to it's destination.. In the figure I shared you can denote that based on the line the cells are moving either to the right or upwards, for x,y being positive integers (not equal)...the cells will move either to the left or downwards given that x,y are negative integers (not equal).. We aren't looking for the slope here but the amount of cells the line passed through..
I changed my answer

if x = y, n = x = y
else n = (x+y) - gcd (or hcf)

x and y in the diagram are not equal.

But assuming x is 5 and y is 5.
n = (x+y)-1 = 9 is wrong.

If you trace the diagram to y and x at 5 max.
The number of cells are 6 not 9.
check my rule 1 above

also 5 and 5 gives n = 5
ProgrammingRe: Challenge Me by orimion(m): 1:06pm On Oct 23, 2017
orimion:
my deduction

if n is the number of cells

1. if x = y, then n = x = y
2. if x is odd or y is odd n = (x + y) - 1
3. if they are both even n = (x + y) - (level of reduction * 2)
where level of reduction = the number of times we can divide by 2 until one of them is odd

is this right?
you didnt answer this

from your discussion about gcd, I googled it and found out rule 2 and 3 (both wrong) can be combined into

n = (x + y) - gcd
ProgrammingRe: Challenge Me by orimion(m): 12:37pm On Oct 23, 2017
DanielTheGeek:
But before then, I have a simple question.. I don't need to see code; just logical reasoning..
(Taken from an interview of a company I worked for)

In a co-ordinate plane, a line segment is drawn from the origin to a point A(x,y). With great efficiency, find the number of cells the line passes through Assuming X and Y are ints...

Google may not be of too much help, this is largely theoretical.

Mod: let's have more of this kind of questions as the ones involving code can easily be Googled or outsourced.. This tests the fundamental knowledge of computer science.. Programming is more of thinking than coding
my deduction

if n is the number of cells

1. if x = y, then n = x = y
2. if x is odd or y is odd n = (x + y) - 1
3. if they are both even n = (x + y) - (level of reduction * 2)
where level of reduction = the number of times we can divide by 2 until one of them is odd

I don't think atheist hate God. From that picture, imagine if someone is convinced beyond all reason that leprechauns exist, is convinced everyone who doesn't believe in leprechauns will receive some kind of punishment and is actively looking to convince everyone. Imagine how it will look like to you. Now imagine if its not just one people but a sizeable percent of the worlds population. If you speak up regularly against these people, do you hate leprechauns? I am not selling any idea, I'm just saying you should try another point of view once a while.
