Hi newbie (although I has a feeling thats not your name ;-)),

All the source code for the book is the book itself. The examples given can be translated relatively friction free to your respective imperative language of choice. However, if you want an implementation then we have one on offer in the DSA CodePlex project - http://codeplex.com/dsa which is all done in C#.

Hi,

Where can you download the source code for the book?

Thanks

Hi Phil,

I'll recheck the algorithm when I have some time (which is hard to find these days).

Thanks.

I had a peek through Jon Skeet’s blog this morning at a free eBook called Data Structures and Algorithms by Granville Barnett and Luca Del Tongo. The book is clear and presents the usual linked lists, trees, sets structures in a concise yet precise

Chapter 5: Sets; Intersection

While traversing the smallerset, there is no need to check if the smallerset contains the item. That is already known, or it would not have been found during the traversal. Syntax adjusted to use what this form allows.

1) algorithm Intersection(set1, set2)

2) Pre: set1, and set2 not 1 emptySet

3) intersection, smallerSet and largerSet are sets

3) Post: An intersection of set1, and set2 has been created

4) if set1.Count < set2.Count

5) smallerSet is set1

6) largerSet is set2

7) else

8) smallerSet is set2

9) largerSet is set1

10) end if

11) foreach item in smallerSet

12) if largerSet.Contains(item)

13) intersection.Add(item)

14) end if

15) end foreach

16) return intersection

17) end Intersection

Alternative,

1) algorithm Intersection(set1, set2)

2) Pre: set1, and set2 not 1 emptySet

3) intersection is a set

3) Post: An intersection of set1, and set2 has been created

4) if set1.Count < set2.Count

5) foreach item in set1

6) if set2.Contains(item)

7) intersection.Add(item)

8) end if

9) end foreach

10) else

11) foreach item in set2

12) if set1.Contains(item)

13) intersection.Add(item)

14) end if

15) end foreach

16) end if

17) return intersection

18) end Intersection

re: Code Contracts – my opinion on them anyway...

TraumaPony — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:28:01 GMT

I agree. I'd definitely like to see it included in pre/post/invariant keywords like in Spec#, but for the time being, this is better than nothing.

@Costin - no problems, I'm just glad someone finds them useful! ;-)

re: Design Patterns – Part 5 published

Costin — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 09:41:41 GMT

I want to address you a personally "Thank you" for this series of articles. I am very interested about design patterns and how they can help building a great infrastructure and your articles couldn't be more helpful.

Thank you, and keep it up!

Best regards,

Costin

@Peter - Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I like a darker background; I've switched to a dark gray (not black) a while back. Since then I had to work with the default VS colors a few times and it felt like looking in the sun.

If your eyes strain easily taking some lutein supplements can help.

@Joe - I've never heard of it being possible, at least not with VS out of the box.
