Re: India - Canada - News and Discussion. (2018)

Why the eff doesn't Canada do anything? It's very hard to understand. This goes way beyond freedom of speech. > Unfortunately, a generation of Sikhs will feel the wrath of society because of these brain dead taxi drivers. I agree. But this seems to be their objective and MO. Manufacture a grievance,...

Re: AI/Machine Learning, Bharat and Bhartiya IT Industry

Sanman, Thank you for your response. Very informative. When I studied AI (which was like 65 million years ago), the approach to tackling AI problems was very different. Since then there has been an explosion of knowledge, even though, as you say, it's still in its infancy. It's quite exciting. Here'...

Re: BR Algorithms Corner

A variation of the above is this:
Given an n by m array of letters, find how many times a certain word occurs in it.
For example, the array might be
a f o r
b c f o
d r o r

how many times the word "for" occurs in it.
The algorithm should take any word and find its count.
