The most important reason is semantics. If "O" and "0" look alike in a certain font, should we use the same character code for both? No, because they have different meaning. Here are some contexts in which this semantic

I think you define passion too narrowly. It's hard to monetize your passion if the only thing you enjoy is drawing pumpkins with charcoal on the walls of 18th century buildings. But flexibility helps. You could, for example, make a liv

I gave this question to a friend and she came up with what I think is a beautiful answer. Remember min and max X and Y coordinates seen so far, and count the number of steps. When this number gets larger than (maxX - minX)*(maxY - minY) we

The question starts with: "Consider a finite checkerboard of unknown size", which means you don't know the value of size-squared. Bitmap requires O(n) space, while the Carpenter's solution requires only O(1) space. And b
