I would always keep my vector of spans sorted. That makes implementing algorithms a LOT easier -- and possible to do in linear time.
OK, so I'd sort the spans based on:
- span minimum in increasing order
- then span maximum in decreasing order
You need to create a function to do that.
Then I'd use std... |
If you consider a single line string to be a sequence of [x,y] points (or [x,y,z] points), then you could compute the similarity between each pair of line strings using the [Needleman-Wunsch][1] algorithm. As described in the referenced Wikipedia article, the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm requires a "similarity matrix" wh... |

This sounds like some conversion issue. It may be that a %s conversion never ends or you specify a character which is never input or something like this. I suggest the following:

scanf("%d", &b);
printf("a=%d, b=%d\n", a, b);

Best way to make events asynchronous in C# |

Stepping away from frameworks would be a step backwards and I think and hope that this won't happen. |
I still believe that XSLT can be useful but it is an ugly language and can lead to an awful unreadable, unmaintainable mess.

I do this all the time. Simply set the width and height values to "auto" where you instantiate your control, and this will override the design-time values for that UserControl.

Also, you might try running the 32-bit version of MMC. IIRC, MMC can only load extensions that are the same bit-ness as itself, and the .Net 2.0 extension is 32-bit only.
