Race problem

2 New Member
"race
N cars are lined up at the starting line of a Formula 1 race.
Task
Write a program that determines in how many ways the cars can pass the finish line, knowing that there may be more than one car arriving at the same time.
Input Data
Input file race.in contains a single line which has positive integer N on it.
Output Data
Output file race.out will contain a single line with the number of ways the cars can pass the finish line.
Restrictions
1 <= N <= 100
Examples
race.in race.out Explanation
2 3 1st way: the two cars pass the finish line in order 1, 2
2nd way: the two cars pass the finish line in order 2, 1
3rd way: the cars pass the finish line at the same time."
The algoritm i believe can be resolved mathematically, although the formula I haven't discovered yet. If you can help send the answer at: puscas_marinar@ yahoo.com

One of my coworkers insists that one should never use static methods because race conditions exist. Thinking along the lines that all variable assignments are assignments to static variables. He's wrong. Right? Two users in a web session could both access a static method at the same time and never have any trouble.

I'm building log book to keep track of a racers stats during a long ultra marathon race. Things such as time on the bike, time off, H20 intake, electrolytes and the like. When I say long I mean days! I'd like to have on the input form, the running number of hours the race has been in progress. DateDiff only allows me "h" or hours and this won't take me past 24. I've tried other combinations of formats and formulas but am just spinning my...

Hi I wrote an application server (a remoting sinlgeton), where processes must be stopped in very rare cases, done thru a Thread.Abort(). Occasionally, and only after a Thread.Abort(), this component becomes instabile, throwing a Windows like error (access violation on 0x00000002), not an framework exception. The component and all of its subcomponents are 100% managed code. What could go wrong with Thread.Abort()? Thanks for any hints.

I do not quite understand the race condition. As I posted a couple of days ago, I create a PDF on the fly in my web application at regular intervals. Users will be able to download the PDF file. Suppose, at the time when my application is in the process of generating the PDF file (which takes around 2.5 minutes), a user tries to download it, will this be a problem?

I wouldn't nomally post this here, as it has something to do with the ListView control usage I think, or maybe with a race condition or some windoes messaging. I'm just not sure. The test below succeeds IF i walk through the debugger and IF I examine the ListViewItem's properties in the debugger visualizer. Otherwise, it fails. Any ideas? Thanks. BH

I've been trying to find a suitable method for preventing race conditions in my own code. Currently I'm using a file and the flock function to prevent code in other threads from executing at the same time. For example: <?php $pointer = fopen ('./thread.lock', 'a+'); flock ($pointer, LOCK_EX);

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
