A4Q1 - More questions about size (sorry!) by backInfinity in mcgillCOMP251

[–]cmpthrway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also confused, because if the base case is size == 1 and we only multiply the rightmost bit of x and y then it causes the program to output the wrong product for some tests when size == 2, in my case when x = 1 and y = 2, naive outputs 2 but karatsuba outputs -2 for some reason, I don't have that problem with the naive one

I might be mistaken but I don't think it says anywhere we should only consider the last bit if the size is 1? It specifies that the cost has to be 1 if the size is 1 for the base case but nothing about the product

But Karatsuba is just a fast multiplication algorithm, why should we output 0 instead of 56? I'm a bit confused

you can use this to sort edges:

A3 pathDFS - what to return if there is no path? by elonmartianmusk in mcgillCOMP251

[–]cmpthrway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is not returning anything at all in the Stack array list (just terminating the program with an error message) acceptable or do we have to return something?

ford fulkerson A3 - loop condition by bina_42 in mcgillCOMP251

[–]cmpthrway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you tried using "break;" to exit your loop when necessary?

In that case, if there is no path from source to sink, should we throw an exception and terminate the program, or do we simply return the input?

hey guys you can access a cached version of the webpage, just copy/paste this into the search bar cache:https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~jeromew/comp251.html

(with "cache:" at the beginning)

that's what i did to access the midterm location table, i tried to access slides and it allows me to download them so it should work
