asalimpo:
We've been watching but we've not learnt anything.
You've only talked up 28 pages no code to show. Just talk.

No code to show. How you go see code na. You are blind during the daytime. Talkative.

asalimpo:
18 years of programming what dyu have to show? That's the question.
What?
Stop beating round the bush.
You started this fight to challenge dhtml, not run up your mouth .
What have you done. How are you superior to your opponent, that's the koko. Not empty talk.

I have done far more than you and dhtml combined together. And yes you actually learnt a lot(even though you wont admit).
I dont beat around the bush either learn some manners and appreciate me.
I wish you luck, you dont have anything to contribute but criticism. You are not a programmer or have u shown us any proof that u have such skills. You are just a jobless tout on NL looking around for a fight.

DanielTheGeek:
Good, that's all I needed to know fellow programmer.
Now you and your boys can keep on battling, BTW I have had this mentality that Practical programmers are better than the theorists. (I may be wrong tho)

You are right again. Enjoy your assumptions.

DanielTheGeek:
I understand your point which is valid, but still let us in on what you've done...
Okay forget github.
pastebin?, code snippets on codepaste.net, finished work anywhere? (Website, mobile app any one) or are you just a professor with the theoretical knowledge of programming alone?

YES as you have said ohhh. Na you confer the professorate degree na.

DanielTheGeek:
Old man chill, I wasn't arguing with you for the past two days.. I have been at work, solving real programming problems. I only stop by on NL once in a while.

And before you drag me into your chest-beating propaganda let me make this clear, I may be quiet about the programming questions and answers on this thread, that doesn't make me a learner. I don't need to start saying what I have done self or my stack because you (started programming in 1998) have nothing to show from your past.

BTW, you must have had the 'fool at forty' experience already sir...thanks for sharing, I will definitely not be like you when I get to forty.

From the way you have been talking. You are probably bros too me na. Mind you i started coding early courtesy of an uncle who gave a book on programming around 90's. I am not saying you are a fool ohhhh. But that you need to take care ohhh considering the way you have been talking so far. Me i no get point to prove na. Na you dey always try to prove point and God don shame you na. Initially we started out about if i was indeed a programmer. And frankly any right thinking follower of this thread will know beyond doubt that am not just a programmer but far superior to your mediocrity. Like you suggested, this was fun. We can still be friends even colleagues...

DanielTheGeek:
You must be a broke programmer too.

I am ohhhh. I spent 2 days arguing with you instead of working....
If you refuse to learn today, then i give up na.
Dont get to 40 before u make that change(like they say a fool at 40 is.......)

FincoApps:
LoL, dude, have you noticed that I'm following you on NL ? That shows I'm not bitter at all. I'm following you because from time to time, you talk sense. And trust me, I don't care about being right about you.

Also stop assuming, I only started real PHP last year, I have conc Java background because I started programming when BlackBerry Java phones and Nokia S40 phones were still popular.

Ok ohhh my brother with java background. If really you say you know java, do you know that an out of memory exception can cause an application to exit in an infinite loop? There are many scenerios that can make a recursive loop that does not have an exit function to terminate. Some languages by design are even implemented that way. I cant remember the language very well but i know one of this modern languages we use has that baked into it. That you dont know something does not mean other people are dumb or dull headed ohhhhh. Thanks for following me ohhhh. But try not to make it a habit of talking about things you dont know about. Its better to just watch and learn.

FincoApps:
Even with your great experience since the 80s ?

You are just plain bitter. The fact that every statement you made about me has been wrong makes you angry. Kindly enlighten me how a person can create a program without running,compiling/interpreting it. It seems you have discovered something new. Ohh i forgot you have a php background and that makes you forget that when you go to the browser to check you code, you are actually running it.
Can you actually contribute anything here asides useless sarcasm.
LOl

airsaylongcon:
Who is talking of the recursive question? I am talking of the struct question I gave you. But since you wanna write a recursive function then be my guest. Note that it must satisfy one of two criteria you mentioned; exit due to stack overflow or exit due to out of memory. Let's rumble

I know get your time. You own is to create problems and not solutions. I solve problems that's what real programmers do by the way.....

airsaylongcon:
You are welcome to the thread.

@all I am currently stuck in my estate's residents association monthly meeting. I will come back to destroy seunthomas regarding the challenge I threw him. Hopefully he will send me my N400 recharge card

You too make mouth. Read online about the "halting problem" though i will gladly eat your money, i know you wont honor your own end of the deal.

airsaylongcon:
If in return you will give me MTN 400 if you are wrong and I am right then we have a deal

Deal....
Please note your question was not language specific and i just need to come up with a
recursive function that can actually terminate without an exit path?

Right??

timtoday:
For all intent and purpose, why would one want to terminate a recursive function "allowing" stack overflow or scenario of out of memory? This has nothing to do with side taking.

Whether a function return a data type or not (in the case of void, though void is consider a data type in a way), that should not make a program "crash" as an exit path. Am sure that wouldn't be a good program at all, except you are probably showing a case that causes such. But if the purpose of the function or program is to solve a specific issue but instead crashes, I don't think that is acceptable.

Thanks for your observation ohh. But the question asked if a recursive program could exit without an exit path and the answer is YES. those examples are just those that could come to mind, like i told that bros that likes to argue there are many scenerios and if we now put more programming languages into play i know some languages by design that dont even require a recursive function to have an exit loop.

airsaylongcon:
Seunthomas seunthomas seunthomas. Your level of reckless bravado is ridiculous. So are you saying you can write a recursive function that can terminate via stack overflow or out of memory and that function will return something (say void)?

If yes show me an example

stop tempting me na. Is it compulsory i must indulge your folly?? If you promise to give me MTN recharge card of just 1500 to the email of my choice if am correct, i will answer it. if not maintain your peace.

@guru01 its a waste of time to argue with this fellow called @airsaylongcon.

airsaylongcon:
OK write me a recursive procedure guaranteed to terminate illustrating the above trash

What will the procedure/function return as it's value when any of the above occurs?

Not all functions return a value. some functions return void and in primitive languages void is not a type. I can write the program but i would be rubbing your already wounded ego. If i stop discussing with you right now i would be vindicated. Already trashed u in my own question, have the solution to your own challenge and even help confirm that a fellow programmer @guru01 got the right answer in the question you asked him, which by the way you did not know the answer of. What more do you want na?

airsaylongcon:
When I am done thrashing you on the challenge I gave you, I will go back to that question and thrash both of you.

Mgbọ guru01 a fully working recursive procedure does not need an exit path. Is this true?

A recursive function can actually terminate without an exit path
a. scenerio out of memory (know this about java)
b. stack overflow( saw this online)

guru01:
I got one new challenge for you

Dont bother yourself. He wont even be able to answer it. He does not have foundation knowledge of programming.

guru01:
Are you still here.

Dont mind that guy bro. The question he asked you. Your answer was correct. i was stressed up with real worker else i could have seen it clearly. The guy no sabi anything at all. He just they rub him ego. LOL.

airsaylongcon:
I take that to mean you know them. One last check, you do know what the arrow operator ( - > ) means in C?

Am not even interested in the challenge anymore @dhtml18 you are just trying to save face.. And yes i started with the c language before moving to c++.

airsaylongcon:
I hope the concept of doubly linked list is not strange to you. You do know what doubly linked lists are, don't you?
Also you know the correct syntax of if statement

If <condition> action(s) ;

Action(s) is/are only performed if the <condition> is true

You also know the concept of dot operator to access data or functions of a struct (or class in java)

Judge and Jury. You should relax and learn so you wont always show your ignorance na....

airsaylongcon:
You haven't given an answer, a working solution to the code I gave you. Let me give you a hint, you only have to add one line of code to what I've given .

Getting a hint from you would be like committing suicide na. You dont know the question you asked and you are giving hint. I wanted to give the answer only for the purpose of helping others ohhh. I dont consider this a challenge anymore, cos you try to overdo yourself na. You should have stuck to dhtml that you know very well.

airsaylongcon:
I need guys like asalimpo, FincoApps, mobolaji88 guru01 to indicate that they are awake and observing lemme slay seunthomas. Tí ẹ bá jẹ́ léni

Shaking my head ohhhh. You should know that peradventure u try to slay me. I would always bounce back. Whatever secret weapon you think you have, maybe its time to bow out honorably. Why push this any further.....

airsaylongcon:
I will so slaughter you today. I'm waiting for sunlight when all the others will be awake. Your reputation as a top dawg programmer will be torn to shreds

Yours has been destroyed already na @dhtml so what are u still trying to prove??

airsaylongcon:
This is so funny. Guru01 gave me a question that I wrote without even testing it on a compiler. And he conceded it was correct. He failed to correctly answer mine. Even if you try to use bojuboju to claim that stackoverflow or out of memory will guarantee termination of a recursive procedure. It puts us on a tie. So where is the crown that he collected?

Or were u tired wen u wrote this rubbish?

Well the conclusion here is that you cant ask an reasonable questions. You asked 2 questions here and both questions you did not even know the answer. How you go ask question wey u no sabi the answer. It means that any question or contribution you make here may not even be valid na.

airsaylongcon:
My friend anyone who is relying on a stackoverflow as a guaranteed way for his recursive function to terminate is the dumbest programmer alive. You just rubber stamped the height of your stupidity

Will you bet your life's earnings and your whole inheritance that i cant write a program that would terminate even without stack overflow that is an infinite loop?? See you life, even my question has the same challenge for a novice. If you create 2 many threads and dont do the proper tuning your application go just terminate(Even when the threads are in infinite loop). Use the remaining brain wey you get. I rest my case.

Its a pity your co-convict is not awake now. He himself na too thief crown he sabi. Men without Honour. mtcheeewww.

airsaylongcon:
I laugh in edo ijaw and small itsekiri. So you will cause a stackoverflow in order to make your recursive function terminate?

Mr man, respect yourself. No one causes stackoverflow, it just happens, many things can cause it. If you are humble tommorrow i will explain some causes..... That are not even deliberate...

The challenge was worth it. @guru01 challenged @airsaylongcon and he was denied his crown. He will get it tommorrow.

i need to sleep. really tired.......

asalimpo:
This thread reminds me of a movie i watched recently.
Focus.

There's was a chronic gambler, that betted on everything.
If he were here watching this thread spin, I'm sure he'd have bet that the
the the thread will (or will not) hit n pages (n=10,20,21).

#To think that yesterday i was exclaiming that it had hit 8 pages!!

Welcome back. I hope you came matured??

[quote author=airsaylongcon post=43289357][/quote]Yes na, does the callback necessarily need a path of execution which is not recursive? No
This assertion is definately not true. Because a program with an infinty loop can still terminate via stackoverflow.

airsaylongcon:
I pity you. Go and read the question again. Cos come tomorrow you will be obliterated. Annihilated

you still get mouth. ok ohhh. i don tell some people say na folly go finish them...........
