i need help in my project... - C# Discussion Boards

Hi Christian,

over here we call ' a single quote and " a double quote (and '' would be two sinqle quotes).
So asking for a quote may be ambiguous.

No, ' is an apostophe, " is a quote.

Hi, the following excerpt from http://www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html[^]
illustrates the possible confusion.

Special Characters and Numbers
Description                    Char  Hex  Character      Entity
                                          Reference      Name
                                          (Dec)

space                                20     -->     &sp;       --> &sp;
exclamation mark               !     21   ! --> !   !     --> !
(double) quotation mark        "     22   " --> "   "     --> "
number sign                    #     23   # --> #   #      --> #
dollar sign                    $     24   $ --> $   $   --> $
percent sign                   %     25   % --> %   %   --> %
ampersand                      &     26   & --> &   &      --> &
apostrophe,                    '     27   ' --> '   '     --> '
   single quote mark

Now does "quote" sound more like "(double) quotation mark" or "single quote mark" ?

Smile | :)

See

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf[^]

http://ascii-table.com/[^]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII[^]

I also heard a college professor who said that because (in DOS) the \ (backslash) is used more often than / (slash), the names should be reversed.

And I once saw a book on BASIC that crossed the O (oh) rather than the 0 (zero).

1. "single quote" and "double quote":

http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~mgr/404/burks/foldoc/82/106.htm[^]

http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/DictionaryResults.aspx?refid=1861689320[^]

http://aspnet101.com/aspnet101/tutorials.aspx?id=2[^]

Since we can come up with a sufficient number of contradicting links, the ambiguity point
has been proven.

2.
The good professor is entitled to such point of view, but he'd better not apply that in
publications...

3.
If I remember correctly IBM systematically crossed the O (oh) rather than the 0 (zero),
so their old Fortran books, and EBCDIC tables should witness that.

hi,

iam seetha,i need your suggestions for displaying video files using asp.net.My question is how to retrevie an video file from sql database and play the video file using windows media player using asp.net2.0

i hope i get the best suggestions from experts.....

i will be thankfull for every one who supports me...

Seetha......

hi

ASP.NET really has nothing to do with it, b/c it offers no video player control or framework. YOu need to render the HTML to embed Windows Media Player in your page. I'm not sure if it's possible to stream the video, or if you need to store it in a location you can point IE to.

I want your help in my project(Hanoi Tower2)....

Towers of Hanoi

The ancient folklore behind the “Towers of Hanoi” puzzle is quite well known. A more recent legend tells us that once the Brahmin monks discovered how long it would take to finish transferring the 64 discs from the needle which they were on to one of the other needles, they decided to find a faster strategy and be done with it.

One of the priests at the temple informed his colleagues that they could achieve the transfer in single afternoon at a one disc-per-second rhythm by using an additional needle. He proposed the following strategy:

• First move the topmost discs (say the top k discs) to one of the spare needles.

• Then use the standard three needles strategy to move the remaining n − k discs (for a general case with n discs) to their destination.

• Finally, move the top k discs into their final destination using the four needles.

He calculated the value of k which minimized the number of movements and found that 18,433 transfers would suffice. Thus they could spend just 5 hours, 7 minutes, and 13 seconds with this scheme versus over 500, 000 million years without the additional needle!

Try to follow the clever priest’s strategy and calculate the number of transfers using four needles, where the priest can move only one disc at a time and must place each disc on a needle such that there is no smaller disc below it. Calculate the k that minimizes the number of transfers under this strategy.

Input

The input file contains several lines of input. Each line contains a single integer 0 ≤ N ≤ 10, 000 giving the number of disks to be transferred. Input is terminated by end of file.

Output

For each line of input produce one line of output which indicates the number of movements required to transfer the N disks to the final needle.

Sample Input

1

2

28

64

Sample Output

1

3

769

18433

can u help me....

Gee - here's a piece of homework we've never seen posted before.

You've posted the description of hte towers of hanoi. You seem not to be asking for help, but a solution. You need to do your own homework. When you have code that doesn't quite work, feel free to post it and ask specific questions. Until then, the best help we can give you, is encourage you that the purpose of your homework is for you to learn, not for you to get the answer from the web.

But, I'd be happy to write it for you, for $200 an hour. That's the sort of contracting rate you will never attract in your life, if you don't do your own homework.

p.s. plus blackened grade. and no more sensual acts with student at the university. Cry | :((

Sincelery yours, Computer Information conSciences Professor and grader, Sharada Ulhas

iam so sorry i understand the rules now.....
iam so sorry....

Hi,

I can confirm 18,433 transfers is correct minimum for 64 discs.
You can solve all such problems with a little program (below 50 lines of code).

How can I limit the login failed attempts to my website, I'm using Forms-Based Authentication and I have a database keeping the user names and passwords....

Ambar Violeta

Have a column called Flag along with userName and passWord.
Whenever the user enters a wrong password, increment the Flag by one
and check if this value exceeds a threshold.If it exceeds, never permit to login.

Make sure to reset it to ZERO when the user enters right password.

Regards,
Arun Kumar.A

You also might want to have a timer to reset the login, or some other method to reset the users password, so the user isn't permanently locked out.

- I use this code to set tomorrow date to DateTimePicker. In Design mode, it display correct, but when i run, it still display today date. I need help, thanks.

[code]
this.dtpCheckOut.Value = System.DateTime.Today.AddDays(1);
[/code]

I would guess that the page load you might not be setting the value. Where is the code above in your application?
