It’s a small world after all

by Matthew Bartlett @ 5:37 pm

I have a line in my C++ programming assignment:

 #define INFINITY 10000

    sometimes its useful to define as -1

    whenever i need an ‘infinite’ value it’s usually to have something to initally compare with to find the smallest x in a set. so -1 wouldn’t work.

    thats when you compare as unsigned ints

    i agree with jono on the unsigned ints.

    also: how about using a banana integration with two half hitches in order to define a set of sub-parameters?
