I'd like contributions and someone who has english as native language to correct my text or express better some ideas on Ad Hoc and Simulation categories definitions - Jemerson 28 Dec 2005

We should adopt a uniform set of pseudocode conventions. As it stands right now, just about every article uses its own slightly different flavor of pseudocode. Sartak 16:30, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)

It's true, I agree with you. Larry 01:38, 9 Feb 2006 (EST)


 * I agree even more! But is consensus possible? For example, I'm personally opposed to using the "var n As Integer" syntax -- I think "is" would be a better word than "As", and "As" makes no sense, except to VB coders who are simply used to it. But I guess some people think the "as" syntax is good. Minor example, I know... Other minor examples -- should the code blocks be enclosed in pre tags, or should we just use spaces before each line? The former makes it more clear that it is a code block, but the latter allows more markup within the code, and that's probably why Wikipedia uses it... At any rate, some common things can be agreed on -- for loops should say for i from 1 to n and not  for(i=0;i<n;i++) , etc. --Aboyner 03:23, 9 Feb 2006 (EST)


 * Who said anything about a consensus? :) Have Larry (I assume he runs this wiki) come up with some conventions. If people don't like them, they can suggest new ones. If people don't want to follow the conventions, they'll suffer the wrath of those who update their articles. I'm a libertarian, but I don't always act it. ;) Sartak 03:26, 9 Feb 2006 (EST)

How does editing work here? I would like to write the Exhaustive_Search page for example. That would probably take me about two weeks. Can I post a "working" sign and start editing it? --Rgrig


 * Yeah, posting partial writeups and rough drafts is very welcome. Once you have a piece of crap on the web with your name on it, you have lots of incentive to polish it ;).  Also, you might get useful feedback.  --Rrenaud 17:25, 6 Mar 2006 (EST)

Could someone kindly write up UVa problem 10591 -- Happy Number? Most importantly, are there any gotchas? Sartak 03:11, 26 Mar 2006 (EST)

There's nothing really special about 10591, just remember to store the number and scan through it and see whether it forms a cycle. --Roticv 06:37, 26 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Odd. I guess there just must be some corner case that my algorithm misses. Sartak 00:27, 27 Mar 2006 (EST)
