If you were designing a multi-threaded program to crunch numbers and do highly cpu intensive processing would you expect a single threaded program to do better or one using 50 threads and why?

2 Answers

not sure why you brought in VM... has nothing to do with the question....

This is one of the most dumb 18th century questions that can be asked. Threads are not same for a VM and the OS. Generally, a VM is allowed a single OS thread. Under such condition, more than one time slice is not possible by multithreading. Less

If there are two circles with center point of circle 1: P1(x1,y1), radius : r1 and center point of circle 2 : P2(x2,y2), radius : r2 and Circle 1 as player and Circle 2 as enemy, then what is the function, algorithm, or your analysis to detect that player collide with enemy ?

1 Answers

Check whether the distance between the two center points P1 and P2 is less than the sum of radii of the circles. ||P1-P2|| <= r1 + r2 should be true. Less

Write an algorithm to calculate the mean value of a set of numbers.

The trick to this question is in handling data so large that the computer needs to truncate the less significant values. For example: 10e15 on a computer would probably be stored as 1.0 e 16. Precision for a float only extends to 6 numbers (if I remember correctly) so 1 000 000 000 000 001 (1.000000000000001 e 15) would be (1.00000 e 15). The algorithm should handle special cases like this or one should be aware of this when coding. Less
