I have a List of object sorted and I want to find the first occurrence and the last occurrence of an object. In C++, I can easily use std::equal_range (or just one lower_bound and one upper_bound)....

I'm wondering whether it's possible to create a generic class, that accepts an instance of type T, which is limited to (e.g.) an instance of String or an instance of List<String>. See the fol...

STL provides binary search functions std::lower_bound and std::upper_bound, but I tend not to use them because I've been unable to remember what they do, because their contracts seem completely mys...

package org.my.java; public class TestTypeVariable { static <T,A extends T> void typeVarType(T t, A a){ System.out.println(a.getClass()); System.out.println(t.getClass()); } public st...

I use Java 8. In my design a have a few simple classes which model value parameters such as FloatParameter or EnumParameter<E>. A have a common generic super class of these classes (GenericPa...

I saw several articles describing upper bound as Best Case and Lower bound as Worst Case. Meanwhile some articles have given explanations for Upper /Lower bound of Worst Case. So basically this go...

For example, I have an array with elements 1,7,9,23,34,47,67,89,123,234,345,567. I need to know the position of 123.

How can I get the next minimum value to a value provided in python? Is there any inbuilt functions for it? >>>num_list=[1,2,3,4] >>> min(num_list) 1 >>> max(num_list) 4 ...

In the article http://community.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tutorials&d2=binarySearch, the author discusses binary search. He makes a distinction between finding the lowest value where...

Using PostgreSQL 9.4: SELECT x, lower(x), upper(x) FROM (SELECT '[1,2]'::numrange x) q; > [1,2] | 1 | 2 -- looks OK SELECT x, lower(x), upper(x) FROM (SELECT '[1,2]'::int4range x) q; > [1,3...

What are the largest valid px values that CSS width and height properties accept? (I'm currently building a webapp that creates a very large zoomable container element and I want to know what are...

I am confused which is more efficient? As we can access map directly, why do we need to use find? I just need to know which way is more efficient. #include <iostream> #include <map>...

Some functions such as Split() will return an array with -1 for the upper bound and zero for the lower bound if the array has no items, eg: Dim s() As String s = Split("", ",") Debug.Print UBound...

string array[] long lBound, uBound lBound = LowerBound(array[]) // = 1, empty array value uBound = UpperBound(array[]) // = 0, empty array value array[1] = 'Item 1' array[2] = 'Item 2' array[3] =...
