Alright!..
Its all good.

@pc guru..yeah!..good one there bro..*though javascrpt iz a cheat*
*even checked ur site and was like wow!..especially texts about the YII framework.u v gone far bro..
itz jst that i dnt lyk php..maybe later.

@fayimora..alright!..u're not sounding/coding lyk a typical naija programmer at all.gess u're nt based here in my fatherland..I love the vim on mac and the "uncommon" programming languages u code..but I can't really spend time learning those stuffz now.. cos
here in Naija, the economy/market decides what technology we learn and use.

lets see what some peeps gat abt this stuff in C or any other lang without making use of some 'sophisticated' data structure technique lyk arraylist, stringdictionary, and all that instead applying recursion to generate the sequence..thatz exactly what fayimora did..

@pc guru..very concise snippet there..but the output will be the sequence and not the length..
I mean console.log() would only print the numbers to the console(probably meant for debugging purpose)

@fayimora!..scala?..am lost..30lines??..pretty much!..explanation pls @ ur leisure..

Hello Geek,

The section has been kinda unusually dull for some times now..

lets try this: (though I have the solution already in Java), but the Time and Efficiency of the program is what we are going to be looking into.
Taking Algorithm, library Functions used and all that into consideration.

THE PROBLEM:

Start with any positive number n. If n is even divide it by 2, if n is odd multiply by 3 and add 1. Repeat until n becomes 1. The sequence that is generated is called a bumpy sequence. For example, the bumpy sequence that starts at n = 10 is:
10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
and the one that starts at 11 is
11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
Create a method with the signature int lengthBumpy(int n)

such that lengthBumpy(n)returns the number of elements in the sequence

For example: lengthBumpy(10) returns 7, and lengthBumpy(11) returns 15.
You may assume that the argument n is positive and that the sequence converges to 1 without arithmetic overflow.

You can write your solutions in any language

no more database servers? ok probably.
no more connection string? IMPOSSIBLE. The reason is that you are storing data somewhere, ur app has to connect to that source..any way in which it does that, requires a connection string to be stated..even in LINQ and object data source, a connectn string iz required.

no more SQL statement? is that a good news? for me its NO..cos they are sooo easy to write especially with .net framework.
also if u are nt gaun be using SQL statements, u may be using a more complex something/process to communicate with the storage area of system.(pc)

oh! my God, what is the reason for this RUBBISH?

I could not believe the headliners until I clicked the link and see its content..
This is absurdity as a result of abject illiteracy arising from inestimable selfishness of the Nigerian leaders

Mr ghostofsparta,

Yes, it is good to have an idea. but it is very good to actualize it. Definitely, that means implementation of an idea is more important.
however, an idea can't be implemented without knowing "how to implement". the technicalities and logic involved needs to be available in a favorable environment.

In essence, you have an Idea, gurus here know how to implement or help in implementing. The proper thing to do is to pick up a pen and jot points highlighted by peeps here rather than trading words superfluously.

so help you God.

carry on, you can do it.

Current professional bodies in Nigeria -

NCS- NIGERIA COMPUTER SOCIETY
NITDA-NIGERIA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
ISPON-INSTITUTE OF SOFTWARE PRACTITIONERS OF NIGERIA - MOST RELEVANT TO PROGRAMMERS
NIRA-NIGERIA INTERNET REGISTRATION OF NIGERIA
ITAN- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OF NIGERIA
CPN - COMPUTER PROFESSIONALS OF NIGERIA
NCC-NIGERIA COMMUNICATION OF NIGERIA

Yet, the industry is still a "baby"..do you still think adding to the above list would make any meaningful difference.

Proving oneself by obtaining mind-blowing portfolios through projects executed is a better alternative. This would attract the attention of the government, not only here in Nigeria but also the international community.

cool..
GEEK HUMOR

if emenike and keshi occupy public offices..who will ensure continutiy..or is continuity no more a policy in the polity??....or probably you see football and politics as games..lol

make ur products and services known, know about products and services on a web-based platform: www.alutamart.com

Akinola Saburi iz a conqueror..in an attempt 2 ensure rectitude, he faced intimidations from self-centered administration and political kangaroos with nefarious intentions..at the end, he won!..
