Found this bit of code...
if(fabs([tempPlacemark getCoordinate].latitude-latitude) < latDelta && fabs([tempPlacemark getCoordinate].longitude-longitude)<longDelta )
...
refers to this in Math.h:
extern float fabsf(float);
extern double fabs(double);
extern long double fabsl(long double);
So what am I looking at?

double fabs( double ) - returns the absolute value of the argument
NSLog(#"res: %.f", fabs(10)); //result 10
NSLog(#"res: %.f", fabs(-10)); //result 10
found here.

This may have been asked before but none of the answers I saw worked for me. I tried Lucas Theorem,Fermat's theorem but none of them worked. Is there an efficient way to find the value of:
nCr mod 10^9+7 where n<=10^9 and r<=1000
Any help will be very useful
n is large while r is small, you are better off compute nCr by n(n-1)...(n-r+1)/(1*2*...*r)
You may need to find multiplicate inverse of 1, 2, ... r mod 10^9+7

I'm trying to generate a random number between 0 and 3 by saying
int i = arc4Random() % 3;
but it keeps giving me the warning "implicit declaration of function 'arc4Random' is invalid in c99
Try it without the capital r
int i = arc4random() % 3;
You have a capital "R" in arc4Random. Should be: int i = arc4random % 3;.

Confused to get that 2^(n^2 )=Θ(2^(n^3 ))? [closed]

Can anyone help me to understand that Is 2^(n^2 )=Θ(2^(n^3 )) ? it will be great if also provide the proof for this. As per my view this does not need to be equal.
The given assumption is not true:
First of all, 2^(n^2) is a function and Theta(2^(n^3)) is a set of functions, so it would be correct to say that 2^(n^2) ∈ Theta(2^(n^3)). The = is just a common abuse of notation, but it actually means ∈. To find out whether that statement is true, solve the following limit:
lim (n->infinity) of (2^(n^2)) / (2^(n^3))
If the result is 0 or infinite then the function does not belong to that particular Theta class. If it is some other value, it does belong to that class.

If you evaluate the following in VBA, the output is True:
(2 And 3) = 2
Can someone explain this to me? Thanks!
You have:
2 (base 10) == 10 (base 2)
3 (base 10) == 11 (base 2)
Performing a bitwise AND gives
10 (base 2) == 2 (base 10)
0 = false, everything else is true in VB
I tried to find some link for MS that explained this but I could not.

int RandomSource_next(int bits, double* seed) {
*seed = (((long long) *seed * 0x5DEECE66DLL) + 0xBLL) & ((1LL << 48) - 1);
return (int)((signed long long) *seed >> (48 - bits));
}
I think it got something to do with the address.
Most probably you are passing incorrect address as seed. Maybe you're passing not an address but a value?
The following should work
double seed = 0;
RandomSource_next(48, &seed);
The following should crash
RandomSource_next(48, 0);
