Don't do that. It puts your needs above the convenience of the reader.

I am looking to get my feet wet with encryption. When I say encryption
program I am talking about something to get me off to a quick start.
Something very simple, far less than the 40+ bit encryption code.

What I need is an easy to understand language choice. I've used BASIC
a long time ago but is there another language that is better and more
supported?

There seems to be hundreds of languages so it's hard for me to just
pick one.

I also wanted it to be a freeware or shareware programming language
with a compiler and maybe an editor that has colors and error
checking. I'll need it to be usable in a windows/xp environment.
Maybe a one that compiles into a self supportive EXE?

As I said I am just starting by trying to code a very simple
encryption program. If anything fits this bell then please give me
some information.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an (easy) way to show some points in 3D in Java.
The situation is: I have a bunch of points and I want to show them in space.
I already looked for Java3D but I don't find how to install it on my
computer.
Are there other ways? or is Java3D the way to go?
Can someone give me some pointers please?

thanx in advance!!

I'm trying to write a data class using generics. This class is a Sparse
Matrix meaning that it can have many dimensions but not many entries (e.g. a
100 by 100 matrix, but there might only be 10 entries in the matrix).

I intend to use LinkedLists or Trees to manage the row and column keys and
probably a hash Map to manage the cells - but that's not important right
now.

My first step is that in my add method, I need to ensure that my row and
column keys are in my list. I would like to use one common routine for this.
The problem is I can't figure out the right generics syntax.

Here is what I started with:

public class SparseMatrix {

private TreeSet rowHeaders = new TreeSet ();
private TreeSet colHeaders = new TreeSet ();

public void add (R rowKey, C colKey, E element) {

ensureExists (rowHeaders, rowKey);
ensureExists (colHeaders, colKey);
}

A Band of renegade Peel Regional Vice Officers, forced strip
club dancers and prostitutes of the Brampton / Mississauga
area to give fabricated KGB statements against several
individuals in order for the girls to remain employed in
their sex trade with consent of Peel Regional Police.

By no means to support themselves or not wanting to face
arrest of their own heinous crimes, these girls gave
knowingly falsified statements to turn a quick buck and had
innocent men arrested.

A story was generated and delivered to several popular
newspapers that printed the story at the direction of Peel
Regional Police.

I have a program that contains a do-while loop, inside of which it
(re)calculates a array of labels XY[x][y], each one consisting of a
single digit, and print them forming an x by y rectangle. What I want to
do is slow the loop down so I can see the different formations of the
digits; so I tried

try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch(InterruptedException ex) {}

at the end of the loop, expecting to see the number formations changing
every second, like seeing a film frame by frame. Instead, however, there
was a loooooong delay, and then the loop reached almost instantaneously
its conclusion.

How can I stop the execution of the loop until I have time to see the
results in each pass?
