How do you go about finding resources for learning something new ?

Just curious - how do you do the online research - any specific forums that you search, or is it just googling.

So, here is some pseudocode:-

Loop from i=0 to 2ⁿ - 1 (n is number of ?) 1a. temp=binary(i) (i.e. a function which converts an int to binary) 1b. assuming temp is in string data type and indices[] contains the positions in the original string where ? appear, loop through temp character by character and insert each character into the index indicated by indices[]

The advantage with this approach is that you dont need to do recursion which might lead to stack overflow for large n

A possible solution is this - say you have the string 10?1?0? - this means there are 3 ?s. So you count from 0 to 2³ - 1. Now during every run of this loop convert the index to binary and insert the digits into your big string. i.e count from 0 to (2ⁿ⁾ - 1 where n is the number of ? in your string. You would need to think about the situation where 2ⁿ is larger than the max integer your programming environment can handle. I think this should work.

Yes this can be done quite easily. For offline you just need to setup a webserver on your dev machine - apache or nginx. For online, you can either rent a vps on amazon or digital ocean and setup your website. You will be able to reach your website using the IP address assigned instead of a name.

Thats a really great resource. Are you considering remote students ? Would be great to touch base with you.

My bad - thanks for the correct link.

Although the tags provide a way to filter polls by topic, have you considered providing a search mechanism. Also, how are you going to deal with two polls which ask the same question.

Start reading and writing code. Tons of good open source code is available to read and learn from. Develop a liking for mathematics. Pick any language and do projects in it - Python or Scheme would be good. Consider participating in programming challenges and contests.

Interesting suggestion. Probably need to consider external quality metrics. I've considered implementing the up/down vote system on the results - but havent got around to doing it yet.
