Fibonacci Numbers in C++

In this post we will write a couple functions to generate Fibonacci Numbers using the C++ programming language and the Visual Studio 2022 IDE, on a Windows 11 computer.

The motivation came from the on-line course C++20 Fundamentals by Paul J. Deitel, included in the O’Reilly Learning Platform offered by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Block Storage vs. File Storage – Part 1

In this post we will not be solving a problem yet. This post is about code I wrote to experiment with differences between file and block storage.

In this post we will start by writing some data into individual files. This will set the ground for some differences that arise when you access similar data in block mode possibly in a cloud storage setting.

This code has been written in C on a Windows platform. For my benefit regarding ease of development, I have used some previous code found in a set of libraries which at this point I am not allowed to disclose. That said; when we encounter such calls I will suggest ways you can replace them with much simpler code. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

Memory Pools – O(1) Storage

Happy Tuesday! Hope you had a nice long weekend. Labor Day in Minnesota marks the official summer season. The Minnesota State Fair ended yesterday. It flags the start of public schools and public universities in our state. In general, private schools and universities start a few weeks earlier.

My wife and I did not have too many things to do over the long weekend. Pretty much we did some grocery shopping, walking, and cook meals. We did watch on Amazon Prime an interesting and somewhat older movie. Trumbo was released on DVD in September 15, 2009. The movie provides interesting facts about the Hollywood Blacklist. It describes interesting and dark moments for liberty and freedom in the USA. Hopefully we have learned something and it will not repeat. The black list has nothing to do with African Americans. These events are associated with white people that disagreed with the main stream ideas of the time. The movie starts in 1947, a few years after the WWII ended. When you get a chance spend a couple hours watching this movie.

On a separate note, this post has as of right now 9,037 subscribers. Thank you very much!!! Continue reading “Memory Pools – O(1) Storage”

Reverse Linked List

In this post I will reverse a linked list in Java. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am in the process of refreshing recursion using Java. In the next few days I will pick up a few more problems and post my approach.

In this post I will deal with 206. Reverse Linked List. If interested please take a look at the requirements for the problem and then give it a try before looking at solutions. Continue reading “Reverse Linked List”

Coding Conventions – C Programming Language

Last week I spoke with several developers regarding coding conventions for the C programming language. Most of them responded that there is some documentation by the organization, but some of them have never found it or read it. Most of them just look at existing code and try to mimic. The issue is that on most legacy projects, there is code written using different styles. Some organizations use some tools to extract documentation and or code metrics. With time those tools may have changed leaving behind artifacts that are no longer needed. Continue reading “Coding Conventions – C Programming Language”
