So in you language of choice how do you invert a Binary Tree.

For example:

Those are not Bush-babies. They are beings, sorta.
Nigerians are just found of calling them that. Bush-babies are animals. those creatures are very short ; kind of shorter than dwarfs self and walk about with a mat. According to stories, some say those mats are powerful and can bring much wealth if you can get it from them, they won't give to you willingly though.

ProgrammingRe: What Is The Difference Between Runtimeexception And Exception Classes? by paranorman(op): 6:34pm On Oct 07, 2016
toheebDOTcom:
No major answer here, so I will post this..

In some language, exceptions are errors you can catch. it means they won't halt the execution of your script.

Errors can happen at different stages, during compilation (eg when you forget a ';') or Runtime (eg when you call an undefined function or you require a non existing file) .

Such errors that happen at Runtime triggers a RuntimeException Class. This class generates the appropriate exception be it a memory, underflow, overflow, range ET cetera...

ProgrammingRe: What Is 1.0? by paranorman(m): 3:26pm On Oct 07, 2016
toheebDOTcom:
Hehehe... 

**one of those moments you will be happy you used the right word**

I quote myself again... 


Notice the 'a' not 'the' as you wrote... 




Coming from PHP, not really php alone since all programming Langs tend to use the same binary computation when comparing number. 

I agree with you on "by evaluation", but on comparison, Programmatically 1.0 !== 1.  It won't! because computers sees decimal numbers as an approximate number. For such comparison,  PHP has this function called bccomp that can be used in such case. Again it is not a bug but how it works... 

you can read more at floating-point-gui.de (I'm not sure if I get the address correctly, just google it). 



Hmm, Oga, Calm down! Mbanu! *what that means?*
He no reach this level na... You dey confuse yourself gansef...

Anyways, commenting on what makes sense to me,
Programmatically, as you mostly saidgrin ,1.0 is not evaluated as 1.0. Computers compares numbers in a different way than we were both taught.





I get you, blindly defending your course. Yes, Randomization is not random. And let me tell you, Randomization is a major topic under Optimisation Theory. As Changes is to Calculus.

Are you calling yourself 'gods'? And you are such adamant? Have you done statistical inference? statistical hypothesis? Normal Distribution,...? Those are core of statistics, and if you are telling me there is no big deal of assumption, go and revisit your course again.

Okay, lemme come straight to you, whenever you are told to take a sample distribution, study it and come up with a conclusion to summarise the whole distribution, then you've made an assumption based on a little distribution. I hope that is clear?






Computer Science might have been drafted out of mathematics but it doesn't always work like it does in mathematics.

Thank you for your contribution though.
thanks. I think you're right on the programming aspect.

as for the statistics, we shall come to that another day..

Hehehehehe
ProgrammingRe: What Is 1.0? by paranorman(m): 12:58pm On Oct 07, 2016
Seriously, "assumption is the major backbone of Statistics"? Forgiveable, you studied Maths.

Programmatically, 1.0 is evaluated to be 1, an integer. So is 1.00000000. So I say 1.0, tecnically, is a float.

Here's a case: 1.2 is approximately 1. So is 1.2333399999 - given that we want a whole number. This numbers satisfy some condition for approximation; the number proceeding that the last digit we want to approximate to should be 5 or more. Condition can be thrown away, as in case of 1.25666 approximated to 1.2, programmatically.

Now Imagine the condition is based on a base 2 scale?!

Mathematically, 1.0 = 1 = 1.01 approximated to 1 dec. place. (given it satisfy what our initial condition for approx.). Error is neglible, with respect to the SCOPE of enquiry and OBJECTIVES.

Conclusively, 1.0, programatically is evaluated as/to 1, except we 'state' otherwise. '0' after the dec point justs increases accuracy/precision in cases where our possible value(s) belong to a set of real numbers. So, you actually determine what the number is, given you 'created' it; as 1.0 can be 1 or 1.0112 if you don't know how it came to be.

Mathematically, we can prove this by induction.

If 1 * a = a,
and 1.0 * a = a.0 = a,
where a€R,
then 1.0 = 1.

Just as 1^0 = 1.0^0 = 1.


As for you basing my dear Statistics on Assumption, what if I told you that randomization is not random? Please sir, don't eever say such besides we 'gods' of Statistics, it makes us pity your ignorance/navity in a disconcerting way. Seriously is worrying. That's another topic for another day. Let's not derail.
