There are a whole bunch of categorial

It all depends on how complex you want to research.
You can do a basic algorithm involving a
recursive function to figure
the factorial function of a certain number.
Or you can do something a bit more complex like a sorting algorithm,
Like the above poster said, or something more original and old
School like bubblesort,linkedsort, or quicksort. You can
Also do a tree walking algorithm discussing the different
Type of trees are out there, and the relationship between
Xml and sql.
Or you can do something more computational, covering the mathematical
Field, such as trigonometry or calculus. If you want to do
Something real complex, look into biomedical informatics and
The progress it has made to perform data mining and analysis of
Several dna structures. |

Indeed it is poerty!
But yeah posted that on my limited view phone. :(
Still working out the kinks, and learning how to post effectively on my phone. |

since I got you all in one place.
As usual I'm trying to get others to work with me.
I have some software ideas, and am looking for people to code with.
I've taken to start learning Delphi , I have some basic experience with c vb and turing and a basic knowledge of assembly.
Most of the software ideas are music related.
Anyone interested in collaborating (or founding a software company give me a shout - via email [email protected] |
This post is wrong on so many levels. For one, no serious programmer, at least not one with a skill set necessary to work on a project of such magnitude will agree to work with you just because you thought of something cool to do. If you're just making stuff up along the way you are just wasting the coders time. Unless you have a presentation ready, in which you outline exactly what you program will do and how its going to do it no serious coder is going to bother with it. Also to get a presentation like that ready, you will need a decent knowledge of coding yourself, and if you have just started learning to code forget about it. You will fail as you don't have the necessary experience to fall back on. Also, work on such projects can last years, even if you're wrking with a group of professionals who do that for a living. Working on it with a bunch of coders of varying skill sets you picked up over the internet is damn near impossible.
If you're still feel like taking this on good for you, but forget about delphi and learn either c++ or c#, those are the languages that most of the serious stuff is written in. |

I agree with you completely. Having a basic knowledge of coding is necessary to manage any programming project. I also agree with you on learning c++ and/or c#. C++ is used EVERYWHERE and c# is a pretty fun language to work with. I would also add in Java though. |

Fantastic post. Now you see my frustration that I had on the first page :p |

Yea or work with something like Flex.
Yay Flash player and it silently handling and trying to continue on what should be a fatal error, only to have it resurface in some totally unrelated place much later.
I HATE ADOBE. :whip: |
Ahah, I know how you can feel, I'm also doing a lot of AS3 & Flex.
But overall, I really like working with it :) |

I have been in it for about 2 years now maybe, probably less.
The project I am on is crap, and it was started when no one really knew any Flex or AS3 by someone who didnt know what they were doing when they chose the language.
It sucks. LOL but half of it is just the managment of the project. :whip:
Seriously though, no way to catch errors at run-time and silent error handling in production enviroments (AIR has no debug install other than ADL with Flexbuilder). You will go nuts.
Did I mention this is a desktop application and web application sharing the same codebase... also its an MDI interface in Flex.
I would kill to have this be just a desktop app and write it in Qt or some other cross-platform framework, even the Eclipse framework in Java would be better.

If you're comfortable with linear algebra and feeling adventurous, try some optimization algorithms like simplex, network simplex, interior point methods, etc. They are pretty damn cool but there's a lot of mathematical overhead.
A neat algorithm that doesn't require a lot of math is the largest contiguous subsequence problem, in which you're given a number array of some dimension (1 is easiest, 2 is already tricky) and have to find the contiguous set of numbers with the largest sum.
Another ubiquitous class of algorithms is dynamic programming. One cool example is finding the optimal sequence of moves to make (insertions, deletions, or mutations, each with a certain cost) to transform a string of DNA into another string of DNA, and thus define a metric on 'DNA space'.
Anyway, just some ideas. Enjoy. |

Not to be an ass, but do your own homework.
Otherwise you will get hired by some idiot who just looks at degrees and end up not knowing anything that will help you in the real work place.
where you are "fresh out of ideas" happens all the time in professional programming but guess what, it doesn't help the deadline, so you think harder. Nothing is impossible (only inefficient and stupid). |
True.... Ultimately I did it all by myself and everything worked out great. Moment of laziness, I guess. |

an algorithm to do what exactly?
you can make a flowchart yourself using excel or word and pseudocode basically describes what the algorithm in the flowchart does in steps.
for flowchart:
oval shape = start/end
rectangle = process
parallelogram = input/output
diamond = decision box
that's what you would basically need, tape files, disk files, printed documents etc.
pseudocode would be like
1. start program
2. input values
3. is x < y?
3.1 yes display "pass"
3.2 no display "fail"
3.2.1 go back to 2
4. end program
this is what you learn in 2nd year highschool. |
