How to present Users Option in Algorithm or Pseudo Code -


i have software asks user choose different options 3 sets of parameters before running program inputs. however, don't know how show in algorithm or pseudo code in correct way. example

step 1: x, choose 5-10-15-20  step 2: y, choose between a,b,c,d step 3: z, choose 10 20 step 4: calculate m=x+2z step 5: print row m of y

thanx in advance

there no 'correct' ways in pseudo-code. can whatever want, preference terms , syntax used should understandable, thus, syntax, should commonly used elsewhere indicate desired operation.

one option comes mind: "let x = user-picked value 1 of these: 5, 10, 15"

more brief: "let user pick x ∈ {5, 10, 15}"

obviously if algorithm fundamentally includes getting input user, not possible, if user input can separated algorithm without changing anything, think better way value given:

"given x ∈ {5, 10, 15}"

it make sense me "given"'s should @ start of algorithm. if want user in middle of algorithm, saying "let user pick..." above make more sense.

"in algorithms" doesn't make sense. 1 can describe algorithm in natural language (words / sentences / paragraphs), pseudo-code or in code in specific language. , user input outside of algorithm. example, 1 not list of values user sorting algorithm, 1 start "given list of values".

jquery - How can I dynamically add a browser tab? -

since using iframes house external pages are, accounts "not preferred method" , disallowed sites (flickr, one), want dynamically generate browser tabs. e.g., when user submits form, want dynamically generate tab on browser in response submitted. e.g., might want add new tab url like: http://www.bigsurgarrapata.com/contact how in jquery? you want form target attribute action attribute. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_target.asp browsers have ultimate control on result of target attribute open new tab value of _blank. <form action="contact_submit.php" target="_blank" method="post">

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua...
