OK thats not a back pack. You carry it like a briefcase or use the shoulder strap. *You* try strapping an ATX case with power supply and hard drives to your back. hahaha. (OK, that was really la...
Oh, dean, give me your best guess as to how I wrote the comment threading algorithm on here to work.
(Note: I did not look at your database structure diagram so I assumed some things) OK. Each comment is stored in a database by 'News Item Number' and 'Comment Number' (these two fields compose...
You got it, dean. I went the database-intensive route. I'm not exactly sure which is the best way, but for now, it was the easiest way for me to accomplish the task in ColdFusion, which is not object oriented. The recursive call also keeps track of how many times it has been called for a comment, and this is how I output the indent level.
Guys...i know ian is definitely a certified genius, and dean...well, he's proving himself to me as well. But all this java junk doesn't get you nowhere. to be really smart, you have to know calculus and be able to apply it to computer programming, by intergrating the recursive variable functions into to the nodes within the class, then differentiate the entire function into terms of f'(x), thereby being able to graph your results...if you continue to differentiate, you will eventually find that f''(x) gives you your points of inflection, where you can apply the rest of the nodes of the class...whoopdeedooo i don't even know what i'm talking about!
actually the really funny thing is, I have done this. I took a class called Numerical Methods of Computation in College, cause I was a minoring in Applied Mathematics. And we had to write all these programs in C that would produce tables of figures for differential equations (which is like calculus on acid) using different aproximation algorithms. Anyway.
Actually, I wonder if the funny thing is that you had to do it for a class... and I did it for fun. Heh...
ian, you can take all my classes for fun if you want, and I'll take care of ezabel for a while...nobody will be the wiser.
Matt, you'd give up the opportunity to further your C++ knowledge?.......I'm ashamed to know you. :)
ohhh i most definitely would!
