My IBS worsened and for several months I had recurring constipation and some abdominal pain keeping me awake in the night. I tried changing diet and several medicaments but no change. When starting Alflorex symptoms eased after a few days a

Thanks for “(at most)”. But for a moment I thought that a number can not be the sum of more than 49 :-) The theorem in the paper has an unfortunate wording, I think. Wikipedia on “additive basis” makes it clear: “In additive number theory,

So that’s why Johnny can’t subtract. There’s a corresponding problem with + and - . For a + b = c we should of course write the equivalent a = b - c . If 2 + 3 = 5 then 2 = 3 - 5 .

and I’d suggest delete “on two non-negative integers” which is irrelevant for bitwise operations.

Yes, but look at your example here. The value is decremented to -6 after the 6. iteration, right? That’s what Thorrez is saying at the start of this thread.

Agree regarding programming. But this could be common sense: Start 0 1. iteration -1 2. iteration -2 3. iteration -3 ... at the end of the |INT_MIN|’th iteration INT_MIN

by jonsen 6y ago
Yes. My point here is that Thorrez at the start of this thread may have a point: Start 0 1. iteration -1 2. iteration -2 3. iteration -3 ... at the end of the |INT_MIN|’th iteration INT_MIN

But they can say both of: - From 1 to 10 there is 9 - From 1 to 10 there is 10 How far from 0 to INT_MIN - it depends.

7 times through the loop is 6 iterations. It’s the first time that is iterated, repeated.

> ...well-accepted definition of "iteration"... To say or perform again; repeat. synonym: repeat. To utter or do again; repeat: as, to iterate an advice or a demand. Repeated. So x+1 times is x iterations.

Nice puzzle and an even nicer solution, yes. If anyone is interested I solved it this way: SPOILER BELOW HERE! Over time each coin will do a sequence of head - tail - x tails - head - tail - x tails ... where x is determined by chanc

> If it was random, you still get the same information No, if both you and Monty pick a door at random, there’s 1/3 chance of a car behind each door. If Monty’s door reveals a goat, it’s 50/50 for the remaining two doors. It’s

> nothing to do with the original point. Agree, but my point is that the Monty puzzle is a bad example to use educational if not careful.

It does not clearly say that it is Monty’s procedure to - allways open a door - allways open a door with a goat - and not open a door at random Often discussion of the solution reveals that this is not clear.

It’s comparable, US number is one way. With one hour commute per work day it’s a little over 1/5 then. With four hour daily commute you are over 1/4 but not close to 1/3 of your time.
