Is there a library function that performs binary search on a list/tuple and return the position of the item if found and 'False' (-1, None, etc.) if not? I found the functions bisect_left/right in...

I have a sorted array of values and a single value like so: x <- c(1.0, 3.45, 5.23, 7.3, 12.5, 23.45) v <- 6.45 I can find the index of the value after which v would be inserted into x while...

I want to find if a number exists in a sorted array. To be straight an array contains fibonaccci number from 1 to 63. Below is the fibonacci number generator and some of it's output. stacksize = 10...

I need an algorithm to perform a 2D bisection method for solving a 2x2 non-linear problem. Example: two equations f(x,y)=0 and g(x,y)=0 which I want to solve simultaneously. I am very familiar with...

In Python, how do you find the index of the first value greater than a threshold in a sorted list? I can think of several ways of doing this (linear search, hand-written dichotomy,..), but I...

Is there a bisection method I can find online, specifically for python? For example, given these equations how can I solve them using the bisection method? x^3 = 9 3 * x^3 + x^2 = x + 5 cos^2x...

I want to make a Python program that will run a bisection method to determine the root of: f(x) = -26 + 85x - 91x2 +44x3 -8x4 + x5 The Bisection method is a numerical method for estimating the ...

I have 2, 2D NumPy arrays consisting of ~300,000 (x,y) pairs each. Given the ith (x, y) pair in array A, I need to find the corresponding jth (x,y) pair in array B such that ([xi - xj]2 + [yi - yj]...

How do I go about making a for-loop with a range 70000 and above? I'm doing a for-loop for an income tax and when income is above 70000 there is a tax of 30%. Would i do something like for income i...

Suppose that I have some computable predicate, P, that maps integers to bools. I know that P 0 is true and I know some N such that P N is false. I also know that P n = false implies that P (n + 1) ...

Reasoning: I'm trying to implement, in Python, something similar to git bisect, but with basically a list of directories. I have a (long) list of version numbers like this: ['1.0', '1.14', '2.3',...

I am currently doing the programming course over at edx and my instructions are as follows: Using the idea of bisection search, write a recursive algorithm that checks if a character is included wi...

My code: monthlyInterestRate = annualInterestRate/12.0 low = balance/12 high = (balance*(1+monthlyInterestRate)**12)/12 guess = (low+high)/2 unpaidBalance = balance month = 1 while True: un...

When I use the bisect_left() function, why do I not get the index of the element, but instead index + 1? import bisect t3 = ['carver', 'carvers', 'carves', 'carving', 'carvings'] print bisect.bis...

I've had problems with this before but now it's somehow working. Now I've following problem. I need to bind values into member-function before I call boost::bisect with the same function. I found ...

I need to emulate the window placement strategy of the Fluxbox window manager. As a rough guide, visualize randomly sized windows filling up the screen one at a time, where the rough size of each ...
