Re: Java - off the top of my head...

\nStringBuffer a = new StringBuffer( " ab ab ab ab " );\n\nint j = 0;\nint i = 0;\nwhile (i < a.length())\n    {\n    while (i < a.length() &&  a.charAt(i) == ' ' )  // Change this to a while\n        // a.deleteCharAt(i);  Don't delete\n        i++;\n    if (i < a.length())\n         {\n         a.charAt(j) == a.charAt(i);  // Pull the characters forward.\n         i++; // walk both forward\n         j++;\n         }\n    }\n

Yeah...you need to clean the code up at the end too....but hey...it's off the top of me head.
(And I'm sure it can be improved.)

You pass. - (Arkadiy) - (29) - July 10, 2003, 06:32:09 PM EDT

Depends. - (admin) - (15) - July 10, 2003, 06:40:06 PM EDT

Agreed. - (Yendor) - (9) - July 10, 2003, 06:46:39 PM EDT

Not buying it... - (gdaustin) - (8) - July 11, 2003, 12:37:46 AM EDT

And I'm not buying yours... - (Yendor) - (7) - July 11, 2003, 12:59:35 AM EDT

I'm saying that a Computer Science or MIS Grad Student - (gdaustin) - (6) - July 11, 2003, 08:28:00 AM EDT

This is not a friggin' function! - (Arkadiy) - (5) - July 11, 2003, 08:45:08 AM EDT

Yep, the guy doesn't understand null terminated strings. - (a6l6e6x) - (4) - July 13, 2003, 02:14:06 PM EDT

Is that like - (Ashton) - (3) - July 13, 2003, 08:51:38 PM EDT

Nope, that's null-terminated chain. -NT - (Arkadiy) - July 13, 2003, 08:54:16 PM EDT

Nope - (ben_tilly) - July 13, 2003, 08:58:22 PM EDT

Oh, is THAT how you reverse-engineer Microsoft code? - (FuManChu) - July 13, 2003, 09:23:22 PM EDT

Next time I see someone like that, - (Arkadiy) - (1) - July 10, 2003, 07:19:17 PM EDT

He did not use STL because of the way I posed the question - (Arkadiy) - (1) - July 11, 2003, 08:46:32 AM EDT

ah - now I understand - (Simon_Jester) - July 11, 2003, 09:00:22 AM EDT

Phew - (broomberg) - (12) - July 10, 2003, 06:52:56 PM EDT

This may be too harsh - (Arkadiy) - (5) - July 10, 2003, 07:22:08 PM EDT

Exactly - (deSitter) - (3) - July 10, 2003, 08:59:35 PM EDT

This is not "pressure programming" - (Arkadiy) - (2) - July 11, 2003, 08:41:33 AM EDT

Yes, precisely - (deSitter) - (1) - July 11, 2003, 09:27:10 AM EDT

That particular algorithm has been really successful - (Arkadiy) - July 11, 2003, 09:57:31 AM EDT

They did not do this to juniors - (broomberg) - July 11, 2003, 07:49:40 PM EDT

Insertion Sort - (gdaustin) - (1) - July 11, 2003, 12:00:29 AM EDT

Merge Sort is better - (tuberculosis) - July 11, 2003, 03:51:27 AM EDT

What a waste of time - (tuberculosis) - (2) - July 11, 2003, 03:37:19 AM EDT

I think qsort is a bad example. - (static) - (1) - July 11, 2003, 10:25:16 AM EDT

Yes you can -NT - (Arkadiy) - (1) - July 11, 2003, 01:16:12 PM EDT
