Mod method

Could somebody show me an example of using the mod function? i didn't see it in the math class.
I need to divide an integer by the radix saving off the remainder on a stack until the integer < 1.

int i = 7;
int v = 3;
int remainder = i % v;
so this will be something along the lines of what u want
int theNumber = 1000;
int radix = 3;
public Stack myPartlyPseudoMethodCosImTooTiredToLookAtTheAPI()
    Stack stack = new Stack();
    while(theNumber !< 1000)
        int temp = theNumber%radix;
        stack.push(new Integer(temp));
        theNumber = theNumber / radix;
    return stack;
Can I have my dukes please :o)

  • Contacting the forum mods - method changed.

    Going by this thread: 
    http://community.bt.com/t5/Forum-Guidance-Ideas/Thanks-Mods-Admin/td-p/138227 
    it seems that the forum mods have changed their preferred method of contact from:
    [email protected]
    to filling out a detailed contact form:
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951
    Looking at the form it seems to be a better way of reporting problems that require intervention from the forum mods.
    Just thought I'd bring this up and also thinking it would be a good idea for one of the forum mods to create a sticky in each section of the forums so that people can see how to get in contact with the mods.

  • Itunes needs a "party mode"

    I am hoping to have a party in the coming weeks and i know from past experience that windows has a party mode, which is great, as it allows guests to put music on without allowing them access to the rest of the computer. Is there any way i can achieve this with itunes? I've read posts about creating a 'new user' with limited access but the windows party mode method is much easier. It would be great if itunes had this kind of function. I no longer use WMP so WPM is no longer an option really as all my music is now on itunes.
    I have found a voting function for itunes DJ but not all my friends have iphones/ipod touch to use this function if i simply locked my computer.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated

    totally agree. It seems to me like all the top notch apple programmers are working on iphone and ipad which are brilliantly coded, but they leave itunes to the rejects and college dropouts.
    It's slow, the syncing is unreliable and unpredictable, it doesn't ask me which way I want to sync, and who says if I don't want to sync it should remove that content type off my phone ?
    Sometimes just shutting down itunes then restarting it returns an error about missing software, until you reboot.
    It has problems downloading large files (both apps, and ios updates) even on an (800+ Kbyte connection). It returns meaningless error codes unaccompanied by a human readable friendly error.
    Problem is we don't have a choice, we're stuck with itunes.
    Bottom line is they need to spend some money on this cow not just on the devices.

  • Im having a problem reverting to snow leopard through the usual tried and true methods.

    i have a mid 2010 imac that originally came with osx 10.6. since i upgraded to mountain lion two years ago, ive been unable to use pro tools 9. i have about a terabyte of sessions and recordings that i need to reopen so i want to make a partition and install snow leopard there. i made the partition and flashed a legit copy of snow leopard 10.6 to a sandisk 16gb usb drive. the bootable drive shows up fine in my current install of yosemite, as does it show up when i restart and hold option to bring up the partitions and other media connected to the usb hub and superdrive. when i click on the bootable drive it goes to the grey apple logo and hangs indefinitely. thinking it may have been the usb drive itself i got a legit copy of 10.6 on disc and tried it in my superdrive. my superdrive however, like many 5 year old superdrives, is a bit fickle and plays certains discs and spits others out immediately, the snow leopard disc being the latter. i got an external disc drive to run the disc and it also popped up in yosemite and at the reboot after holding the option key down, just like the bootable usb drive. it too hangs on the grey apple logo indefinitely. my question is this: do you think that im having with my usb controller? every method ive tried so far is going through the usb ports on the rear of the imac. since i cant boot using the internal drive and i dont have another mac to use the Target Disk mode method, this is the only thing i can come up with. ive literally been trying to reinstall snow leopard since december 2013 without any luck. ANY help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

    Can you boot normally?

  • Read mode - Web template Vs Characteristics

    Hello,
    I am using a web template in version 3.1. I have some navigation attributes. To try to enhance the display of filters value for some characteristics I changed in the web template the read mode from Q (posted values) to M (master data).
    Unfortunately I see that the filter is still using read mode method Q. I have seen that this customizing exists also in RSA1 at the charcateristics level. If they are different, do you know which settings is used in the end ? Characteristics or web template ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Manuel

    Hello,
    I've found the solution, in fact web template is taking the lead but there is a correction to apply in version 3.1 :
    Note 946661 - BOOKED_VALUES does not work correctly in Navigation Block
    Thanks for your help,

  • Wire mode bug in LabVIEW 2010?

    I had an application written in LabVIEW 2009 for a CFP-2220 that stopped working when it was converted to LabVIEW 2010, and I have tracked down the problem to one thing: the software sets the wire mode of the serial port. Calling this method simply disables the whole program. It works when run from LabVIEW...but if you build a startup application it will not even start. Remove the wire mode call - and voila, the application runs as it should.
    So - I can fix the problem easily by not calling the wire mode method, however this is no solution due to the fact that I need to use the RS-422/485 port in 2-wire RS485 mode.
    MTO
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It turns out that this is an even stranger problem; the serial port init function will ONLY work in the built application if it originates from the vi.lib\Intsr\serial.llb file.  If you do a save as and substitute with original...then you would expect it to still work, it's the same VI, it has just moved...but no (!). Again - there are no warnings, no errors, and everything runs fine in the development environment, but if you deploy and run this application on the cFP-2220 it will only run if the serial port init VI came from that location. Save it to another location (no conflicts caused by this)..build it again, and the application will not start. You can even move the whole serial.llb file to somewhere else and call the serial init file from there - and that's enough to stop it from working.
    The reason why I though that I had linked this to the wire mode was the fact that I got everything to run when I used the standard serial port init VI...but if I saved a copy of this to another location and added the wire mode to it it stopped working...so I assumed it was the wire mode, because that was the only thing that had been changed that would logically produce any change...the fact that it was moved should not have any effect....it turns out that was wrong.
    I have a few other variations to test (what if I edit the file directly in vi.lib\Instr, will it work then e.g.? That will not be a good solution, but a good thing to test anyway)...

  • Iphone 4 stuck at itunes logo, failed to restore/recover/DFU mode

    Hi,
    I just bought an Iphone 5 today. So I have decided to restore and update my Iphone 4. However, when I reset all settings and choose to update my Iphone 4, the screen shows the "connect to Itunes logo', and so I did (I TRIED ON MY MACBOOK / HP AND LENOVO), but all laptops' itunes gives me the same error message as mentioned in the next statement. It seems like all laptops aren't happy about my Iphone software and refuses to read it AT ALL.
    System gives me the exact same '2001" error message saying that an unknown error occured.
    N I also did the 'HOME + POWER BUTTON 10/20/45 seconds hold down and release home button way but it doesnt work (multiple times).
    Last but not least, I followed the DFU MODE METHOD and it is also failure.
    Tried to googled everywhere but it seems like no one has encountered the same issue as I am now.
    Connect to itunes logo and tried the recovery/DFU/hold down the power and home button way and screen GOES BACK TO ITUNES LOGO. Sigh..
    Experts, I really need help on this.. I need someone to tell me of a new/other way on how I can get my phone back up.

    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try
    DFU Mode Restore: Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power Button for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode, the iPhone screen should be black, blank. Click the Restore buttons of iTunes.
    iTunes needs to be up to date version 10.7, if you need this, click the iTunes tab at the top of this window screen.

  • ITunes is not syncing my music properly, and asks if I'm sure I want to "remove existing music, films...." no!

    I have researched similar questions for this issue, but none of the solved answers seem to apply for me!
    This is what shows up when I click on 'music' on 'my device'  (which is an iPhone 4s ios 8) it looks fine, but as you can see- some recently purchased songs have not synced properly, despite me already transferring purchased files. I wanted to delete and organize songs, but when I select a song- there's no option to delete i1! as well as this, the music shown here is not up to date with the music on my actual iPhone.
    I then clicked on to the itunes library, and my music has not been synced there either. When I click sync music, it asks if I was to delete all of my existing music, films etc and I do not want that!
    I searched for a similar scenario to this one, and one answer was to transfer devices and back up music before syncing and removing everything, but it didn't work for?
    In desperate need of some help, I'm pretty clueless with the new iTunes and I just want to be able to have all of my music up to date and in sync!

    Everything that is on your device should be in your library too. If that is not the case then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. See also Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
    Once you have secured your content you can work on resolving the sync issue.
    When the media on the device won't update as expected during a sync the method that usually works is this:
    Export the contents of the camera roll. (You should do this routinely anyway.)
    Backup the device, unless you have a recent backup that you would prefer to restore.
    Restore as a new device. (The general restore process doesn't seem to clear things out before reloading, so there can be issues with missing artwork or incorrect capacity calculations.)
    Restore the chosen backup.
    In some cases it might pay to use the recovery mode method given in HT201263: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at step 3 to ensure that a device has been completely reset before reloading your content.

  • IPod Touch 1st Gen 1013 Restore Error Code

    So I have my iPod touch that I treat with the utmost care and it got stuck in the apple logo on startup. I tried restoring in the iTunes(hold home button and plug in USB) and DFU mode and I always get the 1013 error code. So yesterday I brought it into the Apple Store and they attempted to restore it and it gave them the 1013 error code. He told me that it was a generic error code and it would cost $250 to get a new 3rd Gen iPod Touch, which isn't a very ideal result. So I spent some time thinking about this and I thought why is it my problem that Apple can't fix their iPod especially if it's a generic error code. I take great care of my iPod and have nothing wrong so why should I be paying $250 for a new one? So today I called Apple Care support and after complaining to them they told me that the $250 would be the cost to *JUST REFURBRISH IT!* So I said "so if I am going to pay $250 dollars then shouldn't I just buy a new 32GB 3rd Gen iPod Touch?" The man said he agreed with me and that he was sorry there was nothing else he could do. I then asked if there was a way to see if the iPod had a software or hardware error and he asked if the genius at the store had run a diagnostics test. I said no because all I had was a restore done and I was sent on my way. He said that the store should have run a diagnostics test because it was protocol. So now I have to go back into the Apple Store and get a diagnostics test run on my iPod because the initial genius didn't follow protocol and just insisted that the iPod touch had a hardware failure so it was out of warranty. I highly doubted it was a hardware failure because restoring the firmware is a software issue. And nobody can give me solid facts why it's not, other than the genius thinking he really is a "genius" and telling me it's not because he didn't follow protocol.
    So tell me what else you think I should do other than get the diagnostics test run. Any comments or input would be much appreciated.
    My overall goal would be to have my iPod replace or fixed for free because that would be the reasonable thing to do. Especially because all the trouble Apple has cause me thus far.

  • My iPhone 6 is currently completely un-useable

    Hi, I have an iPhone 6 and I've been enjoying very much since I got it, its been running 8.1 very smoothly. Until today, I plugged in my iPhone to sync to iTunes and I created a back up on my computer because I hadn't backed it up in a while, then I began to restore my phone because I needed to fix some other minor problems i was having at the time. Well, my phone restored and turned back on, working great, however this time it was on an older backup, one from like 4 months ago, i was confused so I restored it again, this time making 100% sure it was to the backup I had just created not moments ago. As it turns out, my phone is now stuck on the apple logo, an endless reboot. I'd had this problem before, so I did the classic "put your device in recovery mode" method and restored from there and found that THIS didn't even work. It gave me an error message 17. I then tried downloading an ipsw for 8.1 one and manually restoring it in recovery mode and still had no luck. I then went to the two other computers in my house and tried every single method of restoring that you can think of and found no luck on anything. Now, every time i try to power my phone on, it immediately goes to recovery mode only a few seconds after being on the apple boot up logo. If anybody has a solution for this I would be very very grateful because I'm extraordinarily ****** off right now because of the fact that I cannot use my phone at all, I have a lot of important things on here that i use on a day to day basis like so many iPhone users do, and if I could get a response asap that would be spectacular.

    The good news is that you are getting a consistent error.  17 is a communications error and is usually related to communication to the update servers.  If multiple computers in the household give the same error, then its either the router base firewall or the device / USB connection.  Obviously we can agree that it is probably the device.  I would take it into an Apple Retail Store or service location ASAP to have it tested.

  • Dead hard drive dilemma

    Earlier today I dropped my macbook by accident. Afterwards it was working just fine up until a few hours later when it randomly decided to freeze. I turned my Macbook off and on again and now it stays on the grey Apple boot-up screen with the spinny thing going for ages and just won't boot up. I've tried using the safe mode method, the cmd+alt+p+r method, two cmd+s methods and such but it won't boot up.
    I know it's a hard drive issue because I am able to boot of my external drive. A couple of months ago I replaced my 160GB hard drive with a 500GB one (one being internal and one external, i basically switched the two hard drives into eachothers cases) and there hasn't been a single problem with it until I dropped it today.
    I would/should have backed up the hard drive, but there was too much data on my 500GB HDD to fit on my 160GB one. I also can't afford a Time Capsule. I've opened the macbook and the HDD looks fine, no loose connections or dints or anything. I'm also wondering if there's a way I can recover the data from it as the HDD that is playing up is visible when I boot from my external, however, the files are not the same as they were when it was usable, they're really old ones.
    If it helps I have a MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) 13.3"/D2.0G/2x1GB/160/SD-DL

    Try this:
    Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    OR:
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • ITunes Match is syncing my music library using 3G but I have the option switched off.

    Hi,
    I have found a problem syncing my music using iTunes Match and my iPhone has used 2GB of my data plan in a day. The steps to reproduce the problem are:
    Precondition: iPhone is using iTunes Match and has a list a few songs in the cloud without syncing.
    Steps:
    Switch on 3G connections in the settings. (Settings > General > Mobile data > Mobile data & 3G ON)
    Start syncing a list of music.
    Switch off the option to use data plan to sync music (Settings > Music > Use data plan > OFF)
    Result: iPhone continues downloading all the songs of the list using my data plan.
    Expected result: iPhone stops syncing the music because there is only a 3G connection and the option is switched off.
    This is why I would like to make a complaint to Apple. How can I do it?
    Thanks.

  • 2010 Mac mini server remote install OS X failure

    I tested re-installing OS X remotely to my 2010 Mac mini server. It worked the first time. I got to the installation process, and abandoned it without actually doing anything.
    But when I tried again, it failed, and I have not been able to get it to work ever since. I went to a local Apple shop and tested at its Genius bar. People there cannot figure out the problem. They exchanged my unit for a new one.
    I took the new unit home, tried, and it failed again. Then I called Apple Care. They cannot pin-point the problem, but suspected that, since I failed with two units, the problem may be with the computer that has the DVD. I am not sure about his. Here I post my story for help. The details:
    1. The OS X Server installation DVD (which came with the mini) was put in a 13" 2009 Macbook Pro. There I ran the Remote Install OS X application. Selected the Installation DVD.
    2. Then I started the Mac mini server, holding the down Opt key. The Installation DVD appeared from my local network. However when I selected the DVD and clicked the arrow sign under it, things went wrong. A circle with a line segment appeared briefly (indicating a problem, I think). Then the mini simply went to boot from its own hard drive where the original OS X was.
    Help and suggestions are very much appreciated.
    Additional information:
    Remote Disc works fine. From my Mac mini, after booting into the original OS, I can see and open DVDs in the Macbook Pro.

    Target disk mode method works fine. I can boot my mac mini from its installation DVD placed in my macbook pro, connected to the mini through firewire. So I don't think there is any hardware problem.
    I played with a few other things. First I used another DVD, this time the one that came with my 2009 macbook pro, a non-server version OS X. When I tried to remote install it to my mini, the mini can still see the DVD but it hung after I chose to boot from it. It just showed a big circle with a line segment. It did not revert to boot the OS on its own hard drive.
    Next I again ran remote install on macbook, but booted the mini to its own hard drive. From there
    I changed its start up disk to Network Startup, and rebooted. The mini can find nothing on the local network.
