EdgeCaseBerg / 46.c
Last active December 19, 2015 10:29
Simple pseudo random algorithm from The C Programming Language Pg 46.
//This next variable could be declared in a seperate file if you wanted to. Not neccesary, its just a global
unsigned long int next;
int rand(void){
//extern because I like to be explicit about my constants
extern unsigned long int next;
next = next * 1103515245 + 12345;
return (unsigned int)(next/65536) % 32768;

EdgeCaseBerg / bits.c
Created July 7, 2013 22:40
Bit exercises from chapter two of The C Programming Language by Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie​
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h> //CHAR_BIT is defined in limits.h
/*Bit Shifting Exercises */
/* getbits: get n bits from position p*/
unsigned getbits(unsigned x, int p, int n){
return (x >> (p+1-n)) & ~(~0 << n);
/*Explanation:
(p+1-n) gets you the number of bits you'll have to shift off to move the n bits at position p to the rightmost position

background cycler. Listen to system events (Such as screenshots, moving between workspaces, log on and log off) and change the background to a random one from an images directory. I've only used it on my system (Linux 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- Linux Mint 13 with maya) and I'm pretty sure it probably doesn'…

Demonstration that objects within a list are passed by reference to any other list they're appended to. In other words: List 1 = [ Object1, Object2, Object3 ... ObjectN ] List 2 = [] List 2 .add ( some object from List 1 ) List 2 will have a reference to the same object in List 1.
