Your 8-year old brother is working on a very simple game for his friends. If he gives any number from 1-3, anyone can shout out HOT, LUKE WARM or COLD based on the table below; otherwise, the friends should shout OUT OF RANGE.

1 – HOT
2 - LUKE WARM
3 – COLD

You decided to write a program that will help your brother automate the process.

Input
The first line of input is the number of input cases (n), which is a positive number that does not exceed 30. Each line of the input will contain an integer.

Output
Your program should print HOT, LUKE WARM, COLD or OUT OF RANGE in a single line, for each case.

Sample Input
5
1
0
86
3
2

Sample Output
HOT
OUT OF RANGE
OUT OF RANGE
COLD
LUKE WARM



Problem 2 – Sum It!

Write a program that will generate every third integer, beginning with 2 and continuing for all integers that are less than N. Calculate the sum of those integers that are evenly divisible by 5.

Input
The first line of input is the number of input cases (n), which is a positive number that does not exceed 10. Each line of the input will contain a single positive integer N.

Output
Your program should print the sum in a single line, for each case.

Sample Input
3
2
6
100

Sample Output
0
5
350


Problem 3 - Perfect Numbers

Greek mathematicians took a special interest in numbers that are equal to the sum of their proper divisors (a proper divisor of n is any divisor less than n itself). They called such numbers perfect numbers. For example, 6 is a perfect number because it is the sum of 1, 2 and 3, which are the integers less than 6 that divide evenly into 6. Similarly, 28 is a perfect number because it is the sum of 1, 2, 4, 7 and 14.

Your job is to create a program that determines if a given positive number is a perfect number or not.

Input
The first line of input is the number of input cases (n), which is a positive number that does not exceed to 30. The succeeding n lines specify the arbitrary number that your program will check if it is a perfect number or not. These numbers are positive integers that should not exceed 4,294,967,296 as well.

Output
For each input case, print out the corresponding answer (“Perfect” or “Not Perfect”) in a single line as standard output.


Sample Input
7
10
23
6
21
28
496
1000
Sample Output

Not Perfect
Not Perfect
Perfect
Not Perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Not Perfect

Problem 4 – Prime Numbers

A prime number (or prime integer, often simply called a "prime" for short) is a positive integer p > 1 that has no positive integer divisors other than 1 and p itself. (More concisely, a prime number p is a positive integer having exactly one positive divisor other than 1.) For example, the only divisors of 13 are 1 and 13, making 13 a prime number, while the number 24 has divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 (corresponding to the factorization ), making 24 not a prime number.

Your job is to create a program that determines if a given positive number is a prime number or not.

Input
The first line of input is the number of input cases (n), which is a positive number that does not exceed 3,000. The succeeding n lines specify the arbitrary number that your program will check if it is a prime number or not. These numbers are positive integers that should not exceed 50,000.

Output
For each input case, print out the corresponding answer (“Prime” or “Not Prime”) in a single line as standard output.


Sample Input
5
2
100
271
997
85

Sample Output
Prime
Not Prime

Not Prime

Problem 5 – The Cube

Write a program to get the surface area and the volume of a cube, given a length of its sides.

The surface area of a cube is six times the area of any side. In other words, the surface area of a cube is the area of the six squares that cover it. The area of one of them is a*a, or a2. Since these are all the same, you can multiply one of them by six, so the surface area of a cube is 6 times one of the sides squared.

The volume is calculated by cubing the side. Volume is measured in "cubic" units. The volume of a figure is the number of cubes required to fill it completely, like blocks in a box. The volume of a cube is side x side x side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side cubed.

Required: input(), surfaceArea(), volume() and display() FUNCTIONS

Input
The first line of input is the number of input cases (n), which is a positive number that does not exceed 100. The succeeding n lines specify the arbitrary number that represents the one side of a cube. These numbers are positive floating point numbers should not exceed 5,000.

Output
For each line of input, print out corresponding surface area and volume of the cube, preceded by the “Cube #x - “, where x is the line number. (See sample output format.) Take note that the program displays the values in 2 decimal places.

Sample Input
3
2
10.0
15.5
Sample Output

Cube #1 – 24.00(SA) and 8.00(V)
Cube #2 – 600.00(SA) and 1000.00(V)
Cube #3 – 1441.50(SA) and 3723.88(V)


Problem 6 – Greatest Common Divisor

Write a program that implements the Euclidean Algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two given positive integers. This algorithm transforms a pair of positive integers (m,n) into a pair (d,0) by repeatedly dividing the larger integer by the smaller integer and replacing the larger with the remainder. When the remainder is 0, the other integer in the pair will be the greatest common divisor of the original pair (and all the intermediate pairs).

For example, if m is 532 and n is 112, then the Euclidean Algorithm reduces the pair (532,112) to (28,0) by

(532,112) → (112,84) → (84,28) → (28,0)

So, 28 is the GCD of 532 and 112.

Required: Use of functions - input(), gcd() and display() and other functions that you believe are necessary (if there are).


Input

The first line of input is the number of input cases (n), which is a positive number that does not exceed 100. The succeeding n lines specify the pair of integers m and n (separated by a space) of which you are computing the GCD for.

Output
For each line of input, print out corresponding greatest common divisor of the given pair of integers preceded by “#x - “ where x is the line number. (See sample output format.)

Sample Input
2
532 112
1 10
Sample Output
#1 – 28
#2 – 1



Problem 7 – Peso-Dollar Conversion

Your brother, Harry, is in the States working. From time to time, he sends you money for some of your school expenses. However, sometimes, since the rate of exchange changes every now and then, you don’t know how much to ask from your brother or how much he has sent you. So, you decided to create a program that would help you and your brother in the conversion from Php to USD and vice versa.

PROGRAM DESIGN
In the program, the conversion should be performed by a function that returns a float value. Call this function from main() and pass the value to be converted. Since the conversion actually depends on the currency in which the value is specified, also pass an indication of the currency to the called function. Take note that you are not going to create an input function.

PROGRAM SKELETON
#include <stdio.h>

void display(int choice, float amount);
float convert( ... );

int main()
{
float rate_of_conversion, amount;
int choice;

scanf( "%f", &rate_of_conversion );
scanf( "%d %f", &choice, &amount );

while( ... )
convert( rate_of_conversion, choice, amount );
}

float convert( ... )
{
float result;
switch( choice )
{
case 1:
...
//computation here
...
case 2:
...
//computation here
...
default:
...
}
return ...
}

void display(int choice, float amount) {
switch( choice )
{
case 1:
printf( "USD%f", ...);
...
case 2:
printf( "Php%f", ...);
...
default:
...
}
}

INPUT
The first line of input indicates the equivalent (in floating-point) of 1 US Dollar in Philippine Peso. Each succeeding line of input contains an integer and a float, which are separated by a space. The integer indicates the conversion, that is, 1 for Peso-to-Dollar and 2 for Dollar-to-Peso. The float is the value to be converted. If the line of input, on the other hand, contains 0, the program will quit running.

OUTPUT
Your program should print the converted floating-point number in a single line for each corresponding line of input. Furthermore, if the first value indicated in the input is a value other than 1 or 2, your program should print the line “Invalid Input” for that line.

Sample Input
5
1 4500.5
2 1500
3 9600.2
1 25000
0
Sample Output

$81.83
Php82500.00
Invalid Input
$454.54

No, because you cannot. I've tried it with 3 different setups:
Windows 7 RC1 + VMWare Player 2.5.2
Windows 7 RC1 + VMWare Player 2.5.3
Windows 7 Enterprise + VMWare Player 3.0.1

Wired ethernet connection, simply doesn't allow VMware Player to get online. I have used linux though in each case, so if you happen to run WinXP VM on a Win7 and it happens to work, congratz.

It is absolutely certain that VMware Player and Windows 7, cause a problem and you cannot go online through VMWare because of using NAT. People claim that switching to Bridged solves this problem; however, this is untrue.

I've tested switching to Bridged, and it doesn't work. None of the VMWare Setting options allow you to connect online.

I also tried Bridging the networks manually via Windows network connections panel, and they refuse to bridge to VMNets...

I tried sharing the wired internet connection to the VMNet connections, no luck.

It's official clear that Windows 7 has made VMware Player obsolete. (I can't comment on other products like Workstation or Server).]]>

What would be the best language to start out learning and building a game in this 2d style? I plan for it to be a fantasy rpg , quest, monsters , well structured AI , and all that good stuff. Everything i know is from experience, never had any classes or teachers.

I can do pixel art for the project. i understand how gui control images should be set up, But i'm 100% lost when it comes to any programming other then the unique language on Graal.

I'm trying to do this project mostly by myself and within 2 years.

Thanks in advance =]]]>

Very interesting, any truth to it?]]> <![CDATA[Javascript Fog Animation]]> http://www.infernodevelopment.com/forum/Thread-Javascript-Fog-Animation Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:56:26 -0500 http://www.infernodevelopment.com/forum/Thread-Javascript-Fog-Animation Guests cannot see links in the messages.

What do you think? I hate flash and thought it'd be a cool thing to try.

Basically it works like this:
<div w/ background image> -couldn't put the background in the fog container, or else it would scroll.
<fog container> fog() scrolls this diagonally and resets the scroll to (0,0) when the "animation" is done.
<fog> Must be at least cloudwidth+containerwidth to work
</
</
</


Here's the gist of the code:

Code:
setTimeOut(fog(),25);

var fogwidth=512;
var fogheight=512;
var fogoffset = 0;
function fog() {
var fogdiv = document.getElementById('fogdiv');
fogoffset++;
if(fogoffset>fogwidth || fogoffset>fogheight) {
        fogoffset = 0;
}
        fogdiv.scrollTop = fogoffset;
        fogdiv.scrollLeft = fogoffset;
}

And here's the fog image I used: (make black and white, add transparency... save as png)

I want to write program that listens tcp packets sent by program and then redirects them to server and when server answers I want to forward these answers to my program.

I have program which allows me specify the server so I can change it's original server's IP to 127.0.0.1 which makes it send all the packets to local computer, now I just need to write program that accepts packets that came from 127.0.0.1:1234 and send them to 1.2.3.4:1234 and when server answers , send that answer to program that originally created these packets.

I have only seen some proxies, but I have no idea where to start.
Can someone help me please or give some links?]]>

Are we suppose to just get use to a Nuclear Iran? Maybe, but what happens when they give it to someone else, or just invade a non-nuclear nation in the region?

Boonex problem nr1. No coding standard

Boonex is writen by several people using different technologies. Its main base (Dolphin) is writen in pure php with its own template engine and forum (Orca) uses xlst. That has large negative impact to integration of forum in site and site in forum. When coding, please use single technology and template system.

Whats even worser, different parts of dolphins code itself is writen by completely different people, and very in the hurry. So everyone has its own imagination how to interact with different parts of the code. It is very tricky to modify code that way to suit site needs.

Boonex problem nr2. Template engine and separation of code/design/database

This problem in dolphin/boonex needs a point on its own. Boonex uses custom template system ( that should be called layout system). The blocks of generated html code are pased to specific places in the template. That creates a big headache for programers as they need to search through code for the place where some box is generated. It might be generated in template, or in specific function in one of numerous includes. And so on. Even pligg has better templating than this.

It is very tricky to rip boonex templating apart, as whole coding is based on such poor programming practice. They would be better off using existing template system like smarty or similar one.

This leads to problem nr3

Boonex problem nr3. Crapy use of Database

We saw serveral other competing sites launched on boonex, but we did not care much. Why? Becouse when they reach 500-1000 daily visitors they will break apart. The reason for it is very bad programming and use of database.

For example, boonex uses profile builder which assigns fields to profiles. So the output of profile uses more than one table and is quite inefficient.

Also, there is a nice 20-30 query overhead on each page display to fetch all the configuration values from table. Silly, isn’t it ? They would be FAR better of using a file for configuring sofware or caching it in php file like it is done in most of the systems.

Another simple problem. When boonex wants to display a profile being online it additionally check database for its status. But that data was pulled from database already. So 20 useless queries again.

Resume

I would not suggest using boonex if you want to keep your programmers sane. We have have changed the code almost completely for now, and you will need to do that too. Boonex is a scam. Try googling "boonex scam" first.]]>
