Skipping to a specific place in a recursive function
I wrote a recursive function that recurses Adding times, then calls go (). The entire function will call go () billions of times. When I call this function, I want to only run go () 5,000,000 times. It should run the first 5,000,000 go's if the Part variable is set to 1, the 2nd 5,000,000 go's if Part is 2, etc. The bolded code below is my attempt at implementing this. This code runs the correct 5,000,000-part pieces, but it takes too long because it is still recursing through every part, it's just not calling go () for the other ones. How can I only run the specific piece without recursing through all of the other ones?
Add (int X, int Y, int Adding)
int Tile;
while (Y < 12)
while (X < 16)
if (aRoom [nRoom] [Y] [X] == 0)
Changes [Adding - 1] [1] = X;
Changes [Adding - 1] [2] = Y;
for (Tile = 0; aTiles [nRoom] [Tile] [0] != 0; Tile++)
if (aTiles [nRoom] [Tile] [1] > 0)
aTiles [nRoom] [Tile] [1]--;
aRoom [nRoom] [Y] [X] = aTiles [nRoom] [Tile] [0];
Changes [Adding - 1] [0] = aTiles [nRoom] [Tile] [0];
if (Adding > 1)
Add (X + 1, Y, Adding - 1);
else
PartTests++;
if (Part == 0 || Part == Parts)
go ();*}*
if (PartTests == 5000000)
Parts++;
PartTests = 0;
aTiles [nRoom] [Tile] [1]++;
aRoom [nRoom] [Y] [X] = 0;
X++;
X = 0;
Y++;
}
what go()?
here's a cleaned up version of the code ( not a soln. ):
Add( int X, int Y, int Adding )
int Tile;
while ( Y < 12 )
while ( X < 16 )
if ( aRoom [nRoom][Y][X] == 0 )
Changes[Adding - 1][1] = X;
Changes[Adding - 1][2] = Y;
for ( Tile = 0; aTiles [nRoom][Tile][0] != 0; Tile++ )
if ( aTiles[nRoom][Tile][1] > 0 )
aTiles[nRoom][Tile][1]--;
aRoom[nRoom][Y][X] = aTiles [nRoom] [Tile] [0];
Changes[Adding - 1][0] = aTiles[nRoom][Tile][0];
if ( Adding > 1 )
Add ( X + 1, Y, Adding-1 );
else
PartTests++;
if ( Part == 0 || Part == Parts )
go();
if ( PartTests == 5000000 )
Parts++;
PartTests = 0;
aTiles[nRoom][Tile][1]++;
} // end of if
} // end of for
aRoom[nRoom][Y][X] = 0;
} // end of if
X++;
} // end of inner while
X = 0;
Y++;
} // end of outer while

Since moving my Itunes to a Vista, it found songs that I downloaded a long time ago and added them to my library but now some songs (not just the ones that were lost in apple land) are skipping after playing a few seconds then it moves onto another song. The same songs are skipping at the same place when played on a computer and also my ipod.
i noticed this as a bug in iTunes. make sure the correct file is selected in the preferences menus. It does not have to be the default location directiory as Vazandrew stated. your iTunes music library can be anywhere you want it. i have mine on an external cuz i'm a dj and have over 80,000 songs.
once you select/verify the location of your music library, simply drag the folder into the left panel in iTunes from a finder window. iTunes does not automatically add the items like it use to for some reason. -

Putting a Jlabel in a specific place in JPanel
Hi,
I have created a JApplet where I fill it up with some JPanels. Inside a JPanel i want to put some Jlabels on a specific place. However, it doesn't work.
Whenever i try to put a setLayout(null), the application doesn't show my modifications. If don't use this command, the modification are loaded.
I don't know what happes with this layout. Is it a problem of layout or a problem of JPanel references?
canvas = new AVLTreeAnimation();
//canvas.setLayout(null);
JLabel label = new JLabel("trestadf");
label.setLocation(10, 10);
canvas.add(label);
canvas.setBorder(new TitledBorder(null,"AVL-Tree Animation",
TitledBorder.LEFT, TitledBorder.TOP));
canvas.repaint();
return canvas;thanks for your helpman, this same problem's come up a lot this week.
If you set the layout to null, you have to set the size and the location, not just the location. All components have a size of 0 x 0 initially. -
I am wanting to add picture and designs to my form how do I place it in a specific place on my form?
Currently we only support one field/item on a line. We are working on adding a feature that allows you to put multiple fields/items on a single line. We hope to have that out in a few months.

I want to link to a specific place within a document from Captivate4
Hi all,
I want to link to a specific place within a document from Captivate4.
I have no trouble linking to the beginning of a document; however I want to be able to link to a specific chapter/area of a document I am creating. My plan is that as people progress through the e-learning they can link back to the electronic manual I am creating from where they left off.
I have a workaround of creating separate documents and linking to them, but this is time consuming and messy.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do; I have looked around the forums and, unless I am blind, can't find anything like I am looking for.
Cheers
thedarfHi there
What type of document are you trying to link to? PDF? Word Doc?
Cheers... Rick

Linking to specific place in newsletter
Hello:
I am trying to find out how to link from an email digest to a specific place in our newsletter. The newsletter page will have several stories on it, which can be read by scrolling down. I would like to email a digest with brief synopsis of the stories, which will link back to the exact story on the newsletter page, not just the newsletter page itself.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Chip MitchellYou could use anchors, then set the links to those specific anchors.

Problem with recursive function & Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
I hope that title doesn't put everyone off :)
I have a recursive function that takes in a list of words, and a reference to my current best board. I am kludging the escape function +(tryWords.size() == 0 || mTotalBlankBlocks < 200)+ atm, but eventually it will escape based on whether the current bestBoard meets certain requirements. The function makes iterates through a list of words, and finds all the spaces that the word would fit into the puzzle: getValidSpacedPositions(currentWord); - it then iterates through each of these; placing a word, removing that word from the iterator and the relevant arrayLists and then recurses the function and tries to do the same with the next word etc.
private void computeBoards(ArrayList<Word> tryWords, Board bestBoard) {
if (tryWords.size() == 0 || mTotalBlankBlocks < 200)
return;
for(Iterator<Word> iter = tryWords.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ){
Word currentWord = new Word();
currentWord = iter.next();
ArrayList<Position> positions = new ArrayList<Position>();
positions = getValidSpacedPositions(currentWord);
if (positions.size() != 0)
iter.remove();
System.out.println();
int placedWordsIndex = tryWords.indexOf(currentWord);
System.out.print(placedWordsIndex+". "+currentWord.getString()+" with "+positions.size()+" positions / ");
for (Position position : positions) {
System.out.println("Pos:"+(positions.indexOf(position)+1)+" of "+positions.size()+" "+position.getX()+","+position.getY()+","+position.getZ());
int blankBlocksLeft = placeWord(currentWord, position);
if(blankBlocksLeft != 0)
mPlacedWords.add(currentWord);
// TODO: Kludge! Fix this.
mUnplacedWords.remove(placedWordsIndex+1);
System.out.println("adding "+currentWord.getString()+" to added words list");
Board compareBoard = new Board(blankBlocksLeft, mPlacedWords.size());
if (compareBoard.getPercFilled() > bestBoard.getPercFilled())
bestBoard = new Board(blankBlocksLeft, mPlacedWords.size());
//**RECURSE**//
computeBoards(tryWords, bestBoard);
mUnplacedWords.add(currentWord);
removeWord(currentWord);
System.out.println("removing "+currentWord.getString()+" from added words list");
else
System.out.println("strange error, spaces are there but word cannot place");
System.out.println("**FINISHED ITERATING POSITIONS");
System.out.println("**FINISHED ITERATING TRYWORDS");
}This all seems to work fine, but I add it in for completeness because I am not sure if I have done this right. The Exception occurs in the placeWord function which is called from the recursive loop, on the line bolded. For some reason the Arraylist Words seems to initialise with size 1 even though it is a null's when I look at it, (hence all the redundant code here) and I can't seem to test for null either, it seems to works fine for a while until the recursive funciton above has to back up a few iterations, then it crashes with the exception below.
private int placeWord(Word word, Position originPosition) {
ArrayList<Word> words = new ArrayList<Word>();
switch (originPosition.getAxis().getCurrInChar()) {
case 'x':
// TODO: This is returning ONE!!!s
words = mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ()].getWords();
int tempword1 = mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ()].getWords().size();
for (int i = 0; i < word.getLength(); i++) {
*if (words.get(0) == null)*
mBlockCube[originPosition.getX() + i][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ()] = new Block(word, word.getChar(i));
else
mBlockCube[originPosition.getX() + i][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ()].addWord(word);
break;
case 'y':
words = mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ()].getWords();
int tempword2 = mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ()].getWords().size();
for (int i = 0; i < word.getLength(); i++) {
*if (words.get(0) == null)*
mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY() + i][originPosition.getZ()] = new Block(word, word.getChar(i));
else
mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY() + i][originPosition.getZ()].addWord(word);
break;
case 'z':
words = mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ()].getWords();
int tempword3 = mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ()].getWords().size();
for (int i = 0; i < word.getLength(); i++) {
*if (words.get(0) == null)*
mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ() + i] = new Block(word, word.getChar(i));
else
mBlockCube[originPosition.getX()][originPosition.getY()][originPosition.getZ() + i].addWord(word);
break;
mTotalBlankBlocks -= word.getLength();
word.place(originPosition);
String wordStr = new String(word.getWord());
System.out.println("Word Placed: " + wordStr + " on Axis: " + originPosition.getAxis().getCurrInChar() + " at pos: "

Any ideas? I've looked up this exception which didn't shed any light...ArrayList<Word> words = new ArrayList<Word>();See the API Javadoc for ArrayList: this creates an empty ArrayList.
if (words.get(0) == null)This tries to read the first element of the (still empty) array list -> throws IndexOutOFBoundsException
If you want to stick to that logic (I am too lazy to proof-read your whole algorithm, but that should at least unblock you), you should first check whether the list actually contains at least one element:
if (!words.isEmpty()) {...} -
Finder can't continue recursive function
I'm trying to write a recursive function that returns a nested list representing the directory structure (including files) below a starting path. When I run my function, I get an error: "Applescript Error: Finder got an error: Can't continue getDirectoryStructure." This error appears at the first subfolder encountered.
This is one of those "spot my mistake" kind of posts, because I am completely lost. I don't see why it shouldn't be able to continue with my recursive function. Here's the code:
on getDirectoryStructure(startPath)
tell application "Finder"
set dirList to {}
set tempDirList to (get items of folder startPath)
repeat with curItem in tempDirList
if (class of curItem is folder) then
set end of dirList to getDirectoryStructure(startPath & ":" & name of curItem)
else
set end of dirList to curItem
end if
end repeat
end tell
return dirList
end getDirectoryStructure
getDirectoryStructure("Filibuster II:Users:ryos:Documents")I didn't realize I could display this a little better, I'm new to the list, and slowly getting it figured out.

VishalJava is an object-oriented language, so you're not just searching for a method to do what you want, but for a Class, that provides that ability.
And since you don't define what "the date that I want" means I can only guess.
If you've got the date value in a String in some format, then you might look into the DateFormat or SimpleDateFormat classes. -
Validation of recursive function call fails
We want to use a call to a recursive function from a HTMLDB application. It should be used in a page region to generate a query string ("PL/SQL function body returning SQL query"). Everything works fine with a call to a non-recursive function. The recursive function also works fine when called from SQL+.
After pressing "Apply changes" on "HTML DB Home>Builder - Application 148>Page Definition>Edit Page Region"-page I get the following error message after a long delay:
Function returning SQL query: Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing
(ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kohdtf048], [], [], [], [], [], [], [])
I assume that the validation routine follows the recursion until the memory limit is reached.
Please give me a hint how to solve this problem.
DB version: 10.1.0.2.0
HTMLDB version: 1.5.0.00.33
running on Win2000 serverSince the original function is confidential, I have created a simple one showing the same behavior (and the same error). Termination does not depend on session state:
Called function (to replace spaces with #):
create or replace function MF_Test
p_querystring varchar2
return varchar2 is
v_position integer;
begin
v_position:=instr(p_querystring,' ');
if v_position=0 then /* termination condition */
return p_querystring;
else
return substr(p_querystring,1,v_position-1)||'#'||MF_Test(substr(p_querystring,v_position+1));
end if;
end MF_Test;
calling function (from the page region, to generate a query string):
declare
q varchar2(500);
begin
q:='select * from hardware where model=''';
q:=q||mf_test(:P3_SEARCH);
q:=q||'''';
end
Validation seems not to terminate in case of recursive function calls.
Thanks for your input. -
Help with recursive function to print number patterns
I'm sorry for having to ask for homework help - I'm badly stuck on this! Can someone give me a kick in the right direction with this?
need a recursive function with a single positive int parameter n. the function should write (2^n - 1) integers and should be in the following pattern...
n = 1, Output: 1
n = 2, Output: 1 2 1
n = 3, Output: 1 2 1 3 1 2 1
n = 4, Output: 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 3 1 2 1
n = 5, Output: 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 5 1 2 1 3 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 3 1 2 1
function should valid for all positive integer values of n
This was tagged as a 'short' problem...so it shouldnt take too much code...I am hung on on the following:
*Do I keep track of the numbers printed, if so how? I only have a single parameter to call with so I am confused as to how I could get an entire pattern without keeping track of the history
*I had initially thought it would be necessary to cut it in half and do the 2nd half backwards (ie: for n=3, I would take care of the 1 2 1 - then 3 - then 1 2 1...but even then it seems like I could cut 1 2 1 in half the same way and therefor I should be able to do ALL of it in single parts...
Can someone veer me in the right direction here? I'm really lost with this.This was tagged as a 'short' problem...so it shouldnt
take too much code...Yeah, the method body could be done in a few lines.
I am hung on on the following:
*Do I keep track of the numbers printed, if so how?Not explicitly. Use the call stack. That is, use the fact that when you're recursing, the previous values of numbers are preserved in the previous method invocation.

without keeping track of the historyYou don't have to store anything across method invocations.
I had initially thought it would be necessary to cut
it in half and do the 2nd half backwards (ie: for
n=3, I would take care of the 1 2 1 - then 3 - then 1
2 1...but even then it seems like I could cut 1 2 1
in half the same way and therefor I should be able to
do ALL of it in single parts...No, it's MUCH simpler than that. It's easier than yo uthink.
Can someone veer me in the right direction here? I'm
really lost with this.Try this simpler version of the problem:
Write a recursive method that creates this output:
n = 1: 1
n = 2: 1 2
n = 3: 1 2 3
And try this simpler version:
n = 1: 1
n = 2: 2 1
n = 3: 3 2 1 -
Calling Recursive function in a transaction
Hello All
I have a requirement calling Recursive function in Transaction.Means inside a transaction, i want to call the same transaction.Is it possible to do like this?
Because when i am calling like this,transaction is running contineously without stop.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
ManishaManisha,
take a look on this thread:

Hope Ricks solution can help you.
