Find Visible Segments by Sweeping Lines
After two months of classes and two weeks of exams, the first quarter of my Master's is finally complete. I can say that 1/8th of my degree is complete. With a new quarter comes new courses. It's been just a week but there is one specific topic that I found quite intriguing: geometric algorithms, specifically sweep line algorithms.
Fundamentals of Programming #6: Data Types II
In our beginning articles, we mentioned that there are some types of variables and constants and that is what we are going to talk today. This is part of our Fundamentals of Programming Using C series.
Fundamentals of Programming #5: Data Types I
In our beginning articles, we mentioned that there are some types of variables and constants and that is what we are going to talk today. This is part of our Fundamentals of Programming Using C series.
Fundamentals of Programming #4: Language C
The years between 1969 and 1973 were very exciting for the AT&T Bell Labs because it was when the programming language C was mostly developed. This is part of The Fundamentals of Programming Using C series.
Fundamentals of Programming #3: Paradigms
Every single programming language has its own characteristics that distinguish them from each other. One of those characteristics is the paradigms they follow. That is something very important to understand how some programming languages work. This is part of The Fundamentals of Programming Using C series.
Fundamentals of Programming #2: Constants and Variables
Today we are going to discuss about constants and variables, which are the "things" that can hold data for us. This is part of The Fundamentals of Programming Using C series.
Fundamentals of Programming #1: Beginning
This is the first article of The Fundamentals of Programming Using C series. In this article, we are going to show you some useful concepts about the programming world. We will start by using pseudocode (explained below), advancing gradually until we reach the desired language: C.
Gender differences on the new frontier
It's a commonly accepted fact that computing is a male-dominated industry, but I was shocked by the scale of the inequality. Okay, this is kind of unscientific, but take a look at these statistics: * Female population of the world: 49.8% * Female population of Facebook: 55% * Female population of social networks as a whole: 54.7% * Percentage of people awarded undergraduate computer science degrees by PhD-granting institutions in the US and Canada in 2006-7 who were women: 12% While social
