I gave my AGRE CS on nov 8 in india, was jus curious to knw when r the results gonna be out?? 10 dec or 6 dec??

u could take it in INDIA, check whether there is a centre in calcutta, that would do :)

well....i honestly dint knew that databases and linear programming were in the syllabus, 2-4 questions frm them, seriously, took my time.

@neurodrone,dude its very early to say if u missed any mark or not, cos results are not out yet and it may be the case dat ppl attempting 50-60 could landup wid a meagre 700 or ppl attempting 35 could get a 750,so dunt assume anything now. tc, be optimistic:tup:

well... I attempted arnd 50 questions...and have no idea of how it went....attempted 14 questions on fluke:D

dude so u mean to say that i cant convert "ANY" nfa to dfa in less than 2^n states?:D

Well two questions, firstly why it gets decremented before even the assignment takes place!, secondly, who decrements and increments the reference count??, If the decrement/increment is done by the pointer P then the only way it can do is before getting assigned, so option A becomes the answer. But if it is done by some garbage collector etc. then the gc would work periodically checking for references to objects and then update the ref count of each and every object, which could then happen after the assignment.:hmm: please if u could shed some light on the above, the thing would become more clear. njoi:D

@azk, dude i still think the answer is C, here is the wiki link, hope it helps Reference counting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Reference counting is often known as a garbage collection algorithm where each object contains a count of the number of references to it held by other objects. If an object's reference count reaches zero, the object has become inaccessible, and it is put on a list of objects to be destroyed. Simple reference counts require frequent updates. Whenever a reference is destroyed or overwritten, the reference count of the object it references is "decremented", and whenever one is created or copied, the reference count of the object it references is "incremented". cheers!:tup:

guys here is my explanation P and Q are pointers pointing to integers when you do P=Q........... the address in Q gets stored in P so now both of them point to Q* thus decrementing P* count and incrementing Q* count Thus making C the correct choice How can A be the correct choice, you cant decrement the count before hand, can you!!? Correct me if i am wrong

Answer to 4 is (D). 0.1 cannot be represented exactly in the given format

In question 6 it does not reject any string according to me and the answer to question 8 is C.dude am replying to questions as am solving them so as to cross check them side by side with you guys:D:tup:

could anybody shed some light on question 6?

According to me Answer 7) A

i think the answer is A as they are asking for minimum, if it would have been maximum the answer would have been C cheers!
