java - How to find indicies of longest run of consecutive values in ordered list? -


i'm building ai player yahtzee game , i'm trying @ moment have evaluate 5 dice given (in sorted arraylist), decide probability of attaining low/high straight current position (e.g. 1 or 2 more rolls); , dice hold result. @ moment acheive probability finding longest streak of consecutive numbers , calculating probabilities there. i'm having issues telling computer dice hold. can't find start , end of streak.

my method getting longest streak this:

public class checkstraight{      private hashmap<integer, integer> diefreq = new hashmap<integer, integer>();         private arraylist<die> dice = new arraylist<die>(); //die has method "getvalue()"      // returns face value , method roll() assigns random value.      public checkstraight(){         for(die d : dice){              d.roll();             }          for(int = 1; i<7; i++){             diefreq.put(i, 0);         }         buildmap();     }          public void buildmap(){         for(int = 0; i<5; i++){                diefreq.put(dice.get(i).getvalue(), diefreq.get(dice.get(i).getvalue()) + 1);          }     }      public int longeststreak(){         int count = 1;         int highcount = 1;            for(int = 1; i<6; i++){             if(diefreq.get(i) != 0 && diefreq.get(i+1) != 0){                  count++;             }             else{                 if(count>highcount){                     highcount = count;                 }             count = 1;         }         return highcount;     } }

obviously if you're going straight should hold 1 of each consecutive die , reroll others, can't see way find dice comprise longest streak in arraylist of die due potentially having more 1 die of same value. want pass integers new arraylist determine dice hold (1 hold 0 reroll). can of think of way can that, either within method calculating longest streak or other way?

thanks

you have these bugs in longeststreak() method

1) counts should start @ (and reset to) zero, not one.

2) loop not include 6

for(int i=1; i<6; i++) {

should 

for(int i=1; i<=6; i++) {

strategically, correct longest streak method not problem trying solve, because 1, 2, 4, 5 yields 33% chance per reroll of getting straight, while longest streak two.

php - Why I am getting the Error "Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now" -

the documentation of error mentioned in title says if commands out of sync; can't run command now in client code, calling client functions in wrong order. this can happen, example, if using mysql_use_result() , try execute new query before have called mysql_free_result(). can happen if try execute 2 queries return data without calling mysql_use_result() or mysql_store_result() in between. from here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/commands-out-of-sync.html but in first query not fetching data mysql database, inserting. , in second query getting data database. here code $connection = mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","tbl_msgs"); if(mysqli_connect_errno($connection)) { die("failed connect mysql: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } $query = "insert users (total_comments, total_views) values ({$total_comments}, {$total_views});"; $query .= "insert msgs (no...

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).

java - Are there any classes that implement javax.persistence.Parameter<T>? -

i'm using named queries fetch entities database using jpa , hibernate , came across puzzling me: how come there no default implementations of javax.persistence.parameter interface? i rather impressed how @staticmetamodel used criteriabuilder in jpa2 meaning type safety , don't have mess around setting string names. wanted apply similar of jpa1 ejb's i'm working on: dealergroup_.class: public dealergroup_ { public parameter<integer> id = new parameterimpl<integer>("id"); /// etc... } dealergroupfacade.class: // ... public dealergroup fetch(integer id) { typedquery<dealergroup> query = em.createnamedquery("dealergroup.fetchbyid", dealergroup.class); query.setparameter(dealergroup_.id, query); return query.getsingleresult(); } // ... i surprised find there no implementations of parameter interface - of course, implement myself absence makes me suspicious may mistake using in way? should implementing parameter...
