that sounds painful

This pain is no where near the level of psychological damage this piece code is throwing at my sanity.

your nuts up the wall:| i don't even want to begin to think how much that would hurt! :eek:

Why did I bother choose Computer Science when I knew all along programming will drive my nuts up the wall constantly? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Except then I'll have to visit a medic to get my nuts fixed! Because by the time I've found a highly paid job, my nuts will be riddled with bugs that Java has been throwing at during the years!!!

if you keep your nuts in a shell, away from others, you wont get any bugs. Unless you don't...umm..clean.

There's actually a permutations thing built into Java. Once I figure out how to make it work the make more money thing becomes trivial.

search the internet for the answers. it's how to pass 1st year anything. :biggrin:

Except I found Eclipse, but I just can't be arsed to read the manual. Especially when you have battled through 20 hours to code your 100 lines... That is very unproductive.

I think I'll stick with my recursion algorithm for now. It makes my brain hurt. In the word of King Alaric, it is the feeling of weakness leaving the body. It sure does **** my brain up, but I think I'd rather go through it than skip it.

Patch: See what last term's ML has done to my brain already? Yep, decided to use recursion instead of iteration.

You see that just doesn't happen, it's the mathmos and economists who have the lucrative jobs at the moment...

Eclipse rocks, it makes coding java like three times faster! The debugger is also class, better than VS.NET 2003's.

Recursion is all very well and pretty, but when you're sitting there with a StackOverflowException it's not so nice! Wait till you do lambda calculus and combinators in the real functional programming next year---that'll break your head for a few lectures.

I know Eclipse is all very nice, except I can't get it to compile my thing! It complains about the way I use HashSet<Integer> loci = new HashSet<Integer>(); which javac never complained about.

On the recursion part, it only calls itself 10 times, so I won't get a stack exception. I think I'm having trouble understanding my own scribbles at the moment. It took a day and half to figure out how to catch my exceptions. Now that I've got it to run it won't give me an answer.
