Join our ACM club

Hi,
The IKIU ACM club directors are looking for students that like participate in programming contests.
We need students who can struggle with various problems ranging from easy to hard and have some programming skills in C/C++ or JAVA.
It's not necessary that you be a code-master but if you can write a "Hello world" program, it's enough for now and you can improve it by practicing in the club.
We really encourage students with good math skills to join us.
The more effort, the more skill, the faster progress... and the faster progress the better result in national or world wide competetions.

Everyone who likes participate should send a request to hamidreza.hamidi [at] ikiu [d·t] ac.ir while specifying his/her name, student id and studying field.

This invitation is open until this post is not deleted.

See you.

Dijkstra Shortest Path Algorithm

hi,
i was just browsing the web and found an interesting algorithm which implements the Dijkstra (Dykstra) algorithm for finding the shortest path in a graph using the C++ language.
useful for studying but would not be the best could be implemented.
download and study the code here ;)
from: ds for beginners

Dijkstra's algorithm, conceived by Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra in 1959, is a graph search algorithm that solves the single-source shortest path problem for a graph with non negative edge path costs, outputting a shortest path tree. This algorithm is often used in routing.
For a given source vertex (node) in the graph, the algorithm finds the path with lowest cost (i.e. the shortest path) between that vertex and every other vertex. It can also be used for finding costs of shortest paths from a single vertex to a single destination vertex by stopping the algorithm once the shortest path to the destination vertex has been determined. For example, if the vertices of the graph represent cities and edge path costs represent driving distances between pairs of cities connected by a direct road, Dijkstra's algorithm can be used to find the shortest route between one city and all other cities.

Happy NEW YEAR!!



Happy new year Iranians!


Nowrūz (Persian: نوروز, (has various local pronunciations and spellings, e.g.: Kurdish: Newroz, نه‌ورۆز, Azerbaijani: Novruz; Kazakh: Наурыз (Nauryz); Kyrgyz: Нооруз (Nooruz)) is the traditional Iranian new year holiday celebrated by various Iranian and Turkic people in Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Albania, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan, India, Northwestern China, the Crimea, and the Balkans.
Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Persian Calendar. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox (start of spring in northern hemisphere), which usually occurs on the March 21st or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed.
In Iran Nowruz is referred to as an Eid festival, although it is not an Islamic feast. The word comes from Old Persian: nava = new + rəzaŋh = day/daylight, meaning "new day/daylight", and has the same meaning in Kurdish (naw = new + roz = day; meaning "new day") and New Persian (now/naw = new + rūz = day; meaning "new day").
The term Nooroz first appeared in Persian records in the second century AD, but it was also an important day during the time of the Achaemenids (c. 648-330 BC), where kings from different nations under the Persian empire used to bring gifts to the emperor (Shahanshah) of Persia on Nowruz.
