Great link ExSan, I also like Skiena's book on algorithms; The Algorithm Design Manual.

For which test do you wish to prepare? IKM is not an algorithm test.

<t>I've spent many hours investigating the use of tradelink and mono.My conclusion is that this pairing cannot meet the requirement:Quote- can compile and run on solaris, osx, windows, linux without significant effort.There is a form of dll-hell due to library version dependencies which is likely to...

<t>It's usually painful to get CentOS to work on unqualified hardware and the process can be a major time-sink.Its chief advantage is the slow release cycle which makes it a non-moving target to develop for in terms of library compatibility.Ubuntu 10.04LTS is a good choice for ease of use, I've had ...

Why not just construct a set using the map iterators, passing a comparison functor as the second template parameter?

<t>The purpose of the project is to provide a framework for automated strategy development, functionally similar to TradeLink, but strictly cross-platform and not based on any proprietary technologies (C#, Java, .Net etc).The user of the software will be able to develop trading agents in C++ using a...

Is the use of a map mandatory?

vim

see this example:

<t>I have found several previous threads on this topic and am aware of tradelink, marketcetera et al.I am going to start another which is:- written in c++- open-source with no bureaucratic schlepping to actually get the product- can compile and run on solaris, osx, windows, linux without significant...

What you're looking for is a vector animation package.Next time try Synfig; it is a GPL'd software that will do what you need.

a fancy security system that involves a solution to 'the art gallery problem' in computational geometry?hehe...

I'm a whiskey newbie; started on Glenmorangie, now on Talisker, which I prefer. Can you recommend me some others?

Thank you Polter, that was informative.

Well he was fairly sadistic, but I don't think his cautionary tale was misplaced.It moved quickly onto n-body gravity simulation, just do it.Please tell me, if not cout or printf, then how do you output progress and information messages to the user?
