Alternate Tip/Trick pending for 10 hours
-
Hi folks, Earlier today I submitted an alternate to a tip. It hasn't shown up on the list yet and still says it's pending. Anyone care to tell me what I have to do to change it's state? Cheers, Ash PS: The alternate is: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/110949/Fibonacci-Recursive-and-Non-Recursive-Cplusplus.aspx#alternate2[^]

It needs approving by a member with sufficient status - at the weekend there aren't as many members around to look it over. Just be patient :thumbsup: I'll have a look at myself shortly... Approved :)

Binging is like googling, it just feels dirtier. Please take your VB.NET out of our nice case sensitive forum. Astonish us. Be exceptional. (Pete O'Hanlon)
BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn) -

your alternate seems to need approval for reasons unknown to me. As you posted another T&T today (to which I added a comment!), you might have known that already. I'm not going to approve it, as I am not sufficiently comfortable with C++, and don't see the added value; I do agree with most that was said in the original T&T. I'm also afraid your alternate is making the compiler do the inefficient recursions. IMO Fibonacci is the prime example of things that should NOT be done with recursion, in the app nor in the compiler. :)

I've approved it anyway Luc. I agree with all your points but it adheres to the approval recommendations, the rest is up to the community to judge/vote on now it's 'in the wild'.

[Probably the wrong place to mention this] The point I was trying to make in the tip (oops, obviously failed) was: "Interestingly, the compiler doesn't take very long to work this out while the recursive technique the original poster outlined was incredibly slow. So how does the compiler do it?" Cheers, Ash

I don't know. Maybe it did take long (and you didn't notice) the first time the file got compiled, and did not bother recompiling the file later on as nothing had been changed? :)
