I'm blogging State

[MistaPotta]

And testing out some new software.

For those of you familiar with the LiveJournal engine, I'm toying around with it. It's still very delicate, and may not stay, but I'm still toying with it.

Just started my blog...and not at state.

I started my blog today as well... we are in austin now so I thought it would be a good time to start it.

Floyd Warshall FTW.....
so does that mean u finally passed calfflac

[Quelloquialism]

I passed calfflac on either Sunday or Monday, I forget.

[Kurt]

Is that how you solve calfflac? Because I never bothered to figure that one out after my first try was too inefficient. :P

[Quelloquialism]

Nah, Floyd-Warshall is for solving the all-pairs shortest paths problem (given a weighted, connected, directed graph with no negative cycles, find the shortest distance between any pair of vertices)...calfflac doesn't require any standard algorithm that I know of, it's all ad-hoc. My passing solution involved a linear search that simply looped through the text, counting the current index as either the center of an odd-length palindrome or the first center of an even-length palindrome...that'll work for you, probably, if you keep your code relatively clean and you opt for a character array instead of costly String operations.

I remember one time when i was stuck on a problem for a week. The problem required a combination of different algorithms ( Cow Tours i think ). When I got it wrong, I kept thinking it was my Djikstra that wasn't right, but I just had the for loops for Floyd warshall in the wrong order.
