It's a second semester freshman course for CMU CS undergrads.
Ah ok, understood. I would argue that is still not a convenient lie of "a branch is a pointer to a commit". Rather, the rebase command is changing what the branch is pointing to, and git tries to make that clear. After…
By "remove a commit" do you mean rebase A to point at its previous commit, HEAD~1? A commit SHA represents the entire DAG up until that point, not a given changeset. So in your example, branch B is still a pointer to a…
Isn't that an offer, not a threat? Apollo is fully allowed to make things difficult by complaining on social media that he thinks the pricing is unfair. What is illegal or even unethical about that?
I listened to the audio as well. Can you please explain how you think Spez interpreted the threat? He thinks that Apollo is threatening to blast them on social media? Slander him? Break his legs? Murder him?
Because the answer should be an obvious "no it is not guaranteed to be sorted". If the answer is yes the input is sorted, then that context should have been given in the original prompt as it is a completely different…
And if you had a magical oracle that spat out the two numbers if a solution exists, and otherwise told you no solution exists, you would have an O(1) solution. Just because you can ask a question whose answer makes a…
My point was more it is just a different problem. Another "clarifying question" in this vein would be "if there is a valid answer, will they be in index 0 and 1 of the list?" I'm obviously being somewhat facetious here…
> can I multiply a number by itself This is a great clarifying question. Ambiguous from the prompt. > what shall I return if there are multiple numbers meeting the criteria This is a decent clarifying question. I think…
Optimize for readability above everything else. Almost all of these examples I'd argue would be better suited for something like .map(). Little point in being overly cute, and if you are working with arrays large enough…
There's a phrase for that. "not permanent."
