I don't see why you need those 3 vectors row, col, box. They are just views of board. And where are they initialised? maybe std::array better than std::vector here? // the original Java HashSet is so wrong. And "char"....

The specification is ambiguous 1. Is Example 1 an example of a valid board?'OK, yes it is. 2. "Each row must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition." is ambiguous "Each row must contain non-repeating subset digits 1-9 without repetition. Blanks are alowed." 3. It is a compile-time matrix...

Python has its place. If you are doing data science, you can't avoid it. But if your goal is to become a computer scientist or a software developer, it's to be avoided. It can only teach you bad habits and make developing sophisticated software way more difficult than it needs to be. This is...

I cannot disagree with that, but it's not even wrong. Being bright and having free time is neither necessary nor sufficient to be a "good" programmer. I'm talking writing real code, not copy-and-paste from StackExchange or using Python APIs. It takes anything between 5 and 10 years to become a...

why not try std:array<std::array<int, 9>, 9> or even std:array<std::set<int>, 9> Basing on Java (no stack) is that a good idea, It's a tiny matrix 9X9. Orginal hashset feels like a sledgehammer. Defining a hast on an array of size 9?

Yes, it is in Boost. It works very well. Can you be more precise? Do you want other solvers for a problem? etc.

Well, you need to check if Matlab is hot. The quants on this forum would have a more precise idea. 1) more maths IMO. The maths CV comes across a bit like a toolbox, as a blackbox. Can you program all the FEM stuff in say, Python? 2,3,4 Sorry, no idea.

Yep, that proves it :love: case closed

Even Galois had to do some study.

Don't want to be too criitical, but progamming courses in universities are not good (and many are atrocious) in general. There are many reasons for this (believe me for the moment on this). We don't have the headaches you mention in the QN C++ course https://quantnet.com/cpp/ In a sense, the...

Probably not. It's a question of achieving intellectual maturity, like well-seasoned sherry. Being a maths student probably means your programming skillls are probably weak. It all takes time.. BTW what "kind" of math degree is it?

And when you are finished you can tell the copy and paste data coders how to do it properly. To make life easy, just use the same class structure 1:1 and change C++ syntax to Python syntax. Piece of cake. Get it working, then get it right, then (AND ONLY THEN) get it optmised. And implement...

OK, I'll bite A concrete and focused example is to port C++ MC option pricer to Python. Try to program it from the ground up instead oopy and paste from internet. It makes you stronger :ninja: V1: Serial code V2: Parallel code in Python (threads or future) Use the RNG stuff in numpy...
