Find an algorithm
-
why do conversions, why introduce decision statements, if all it takes is some simple boolean expression? would you also replace multiplications by loops containing an addition? :)

Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, and improve readability.
Simple because with all the unknowns, 30 secs after the method is finished some "new" result will be expected. Boolean expression are fine when what you are trying to communicate is clear. In this case things don't appear to be 'clear'. Converting isn't necessary, it's just helpful. Cheers

That's why you have Quine–McCluskey algorithm. You can easily implement it in any language and it always works regardless of number of inputs.
- Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities -

and more. Pichat's work was more interesting (seems absent on the web??). I did a lot of research on the subject, and came up with my own optimization and design language, even before Verilog and VHDL became popular. :)

I've probably been staring at this far too long but I can't find an algorithm that will return the correct results for the code below. Anyone have some fresh ideas?
private void Test()
{
Logic(false, false, false, false, false, false, false);
Logic(false, false, false, false, true, true, true);
Logic(false, false, false, false, true, false, false);
Logic(false, false, true, false, true, true, false);
Logic(false, false, true, true, true, true, true);
}private void Logic(bool f, bool fl, bool d, bool dl, bool r, bool rl, bool expected)
{
bool result = [What algorithm goes here];System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(result == expected, "Does not match expected results");}

It seemed to be clear to everyone else

You mean like Member 4190501 suggested over 10 hours ago. If you also read the responses you would see the problem was solved long ago.

result = ((f&&f1) || (d&&d1) || (r&&r1)) && (f||f1) && (d||d1) && (r||r1)

result = ((f&&f1) || (d&&d1) || (r&&r1)) && (f||f1) && (d||d1) && (r||r1)
incorrect, none of the test cases have (f||f1) true. :|

Is it simply the number of TRUE arguments passed? No TRUE args ==> FALSE even no of TRUE args ==> TRUE Otherwise ==> FALSE :confused: Tadeusz Westawic Sum quid sum.

What are you confused about? Perhaps you are confused that the problem had been solved 18 days ago by people how were not confused.:confused:

Only 18 days after everyone else. Glad it wasn't urgentz

There are unanswered posts of my own that are months old and I would still appreciate any other point of view as long as it is mathematically valid and programmable. Are you saying my post is illegal? Take off that heavy badge once in a while. Tadeusz Westawic Sum quid sum.

There is the difference. This post was answered by several people quite a long time ago.

yeah I know it was answered a while ago but here is a slightly more elegant algorithm
bool result = (f == fl) && (d == dl) && (r == rl) ? f | d | r : false;or in a less descriptive formbool result = f == fl && d == dl && r == rl && f | d | r;modified on Tuesday, November 9, 2010 6:28 PM
