Something that doesn't belong, something that's out of place.

Wat? I'm not sure if that code is 100% correct since I haven't used Java in a year.

Is your dishwasher one of the 3 billion devices that runs Java? 

It says its only avaliable for the dac1 variations not the dac2 o_o. Unless it hasn't been updated? Or the dac2 just goes under a different name.

Probably, but I'm not 100% sure.

Sloot can be a very intuitive sloot sometimes.

It can run Pascal, Go, Lua, Haskell, R, Go, ASP.NET, Smalltalk, bash, csh, zsh (no wait), Scheme, BASIC, C#, C++.

I'll check about the Java part.

Cool beans. 

Don't forget to share the entire research piece when it works out

I'll give you 20 minutes to find out.

Well since you have people to help you with programming and Chinese, I might be able to help you with the linear algebra if I remember my stuff.

Which means nothing is wrong with it.

Or I forgot a backslash for the \! if that's what Java needs for punctuation in a string....unless that is !true.

What are you doing now, what needs to happen instead?

I want to make it so that for every subdirectory one child process is generated and calls run_worker on whatever's passed in from the parent. There should only be one parent and n amount of children.

The parent is supposed to read in FreqRecord structures (one at a time) from the child and add each FreqRecord structure into an array with maximum elements MAXRECORDS and sort the array from high to low frequencies. When the parent reads in a sentinel structure, it will stop reading from that particular child.

At the end, the master process should call wait on all the children, after which it will close all the pipes to the children.

My problem is finding the distinction between the parent and the master process. Currently what my code is doing is to run a for loop with the maximum as # of subdirectories, in which it calls fork every time and has the child and parent processes do the sort of stuff that I wrote above. How do I get the master process to call wait on the children after this loop ends?

I could pastebin the code and PM it to you if you want. I'm finding it really hard to explain my problem.

RESEARCH PAPER TOPICS, PART I
1. Discuss the costs and benefits of the Grand Canal in Chinese
socioeconomic and environmental history from the Sui to the
Qing dynasties
2. How did the northern frontier shape the dynamics of Chinese
history during the Ming and Qing dynasties?
3. Discuss the role of the Jesuits and merchants in forming
connections between China and Europe
4. What were the most important contributing factors to the fall
of the Ming dynasty?
5. Was the Qing dynasty a Chinese dynasty or a Manchu empire?
6. Did the position and status of women change significantly
during the Ming and Qing dynasties? If it didn't, how did it
not? If it did, how did it?

 
RESEARCH PAPER TOPICS, PART II
7. What were the major factors contributing to the “High Qing”
period as a culmination of diverse strands of Chinese history?
Why did it fall apart?
8. What role did silver play in the social, political, and economic
history of the Ming and Qing dynasties?
9. How have interpretations of footbinding changed over the last
hundred years?
10. Discuss the background, structure, and impacts of the
eighteenth-century Qing granary system
11. Was the Taiping Rebellion a religious conflict or a class-based,
peasant uprising?
12. Is the history of twentieth-century China a continuation of
long-term trends in Chinese history, or is it governed by
fundamentally new dynamics?
13. Why did the Communists win the civil war with the Nationalists?

Not sure if its what you are asking, but fork returns 0 to the new process. You can use that to check which process is which.

Obviously I would choose anything from 11-13

but it is really up to you.

Advice my teacher gave me was.

Choose a topic that interests you. because chances are, if it interests you, it interests him. He reads hundreds of these and can't give a f***. If you couldn't when you wrote it, he won't either.

Him enjoying your paper already auto boosts its grade.

My lecturer is a Communist. I don't really know much about Marxism to give my papers some spin, though. Also, my TA's marking my paper, not my lecturer.

I just posted something on the course forum. I'll post it here. Maybe this will clear some stuff up:

Just tried this instead, probably makes more sense. I need to make sure that each child will not exit until the parent gets what it needs from it:

Also, if i have multiple children and one parent, do I need file pointer arrays?

Do any of you Japanophiles have hobbies/collections other than headphones with a lot of Japanese stuff? I have a fair number of other hobbies besides headphones, and over the years I've found that I tend to prefer the Japanese or German products. I think the Germans generally have better designs, but the Japanese edge them out in precision and quality control.
