Day 18 was quite interesting, with two parallel jobs and communication between.

How do you realize this communication? Maybe the simplest way was to use Global. But I used $system.Event here.

right from the documentation

You can combine multiple Boolean logical expressions by using logical operators. Like all Caché expressions, they are evaluated in strict left-to-right order. There are two types of logical operators: regular logical operators (& and !) and short-circuit logical operators (&& and ||).

When regular logical operators are used to combine logical expressions, Caché evaluates all of the specified expressions, even when the Boolean result is known before all of the expressions have been evaluated. This assures that all expressions are valid.

When short-circuit logical operators are used to combine logical expressions, Caché evaluates only as many expressions as are needed to determine the Boolean result. For example, if there are multiple AND tests, the first expression that returns 0 determines the overall Boolean result. Any logical expressions to the right of this expression are not evaluated. This allows you to avoid unnecessary time-consuming expression evaluations.

Some commands allow you to specify a comma-separated list as an argument value. In this case, Caché handles each listed argument like an independent command statement. Therefore, IF x=7,y=4,z=2 is parsed as IF x=7 THEN IF y=4 THEN IF z=2, which is functionally identical to the short-circuit logical operators statement IF (x=7)&&(y=4)&&(z=2).

You wrong because you missed something important in the documentation. The third parameter is not about string, it is about the list of chars, and the last one the same. So, it will remove everything at the beginning if any of defined characters it will be. And order does not matter.

Write $ZSTRIP("ZZZZTESTSLOCKTEST","<","ETSZ")

return the same

If you have to remove fixed string, you can use $piece or $replace

Write $p("ZZZZTESTSLOCKTEST","ZZZZTEST",2,*)
SLOCKTEST

Each Application Server uses own Global Buffer plus Server Buffer, to fetch data, but the speed of the connection between those servers also matter.

If you don't care where to run so rare queries, you can do it on Database Server. ECP connection only gives a way to get access to the data in databases. And does not help to call any code on Database Server directly. And since %Net.RemoteConnection already deprecated, you can use other ways to call the main server or any other, and SOAP can be one of the ways, but I would prefer JSON Rest API, which in result will transfer fewer data.

My best day was a few days ago, but still very slow.

Day       Time  Rank  Score       Time  Rank  Score
 12   00:09:34   243      0   00:18:42   378      0

I'm usually much slower than you guys. Looks like you have more experience solving such tasks than me, you already solved both previous years.

Just got my VR headset. It is quite good, but unfortunately, it does not have an action button. So, it becomes difficult to interact with applications when your phone inside.

To set any response header, you should overwrite OnPreHTTP method in your CSP Page class.

 Class User.Page Extends %CSP.Page
{

ClassMethod OnPage() As %Status
{
  &html<<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>>
  ; To do...
  &html<</body>
</html>>
  Quit $$$OK
}

/// Event handler for <b>PreHTTP</b> event: this is invoked before
/// the HTTP headers for a CSP page have been sent. All changes to the
/// <class>%CSP.Response</class> class, such as adding cookies, HTTP headers,
/// setting the content type etc. must be made from within the OnPreHTTP() method.
/// Also changes to the state of the CSP application such as changing
/// %session.EndSession or %session.AppTimeout must be made within the OnPreHTTP() method.
/// It is prefered that changes to %session.Preserve are also made in the OnPreHTTP() method
/// as this is more efficient, although it is supported in any section of the page.
/// Return <b>0</b> to prevent <method>OnPage</method> from being called.
ClassMethod OnPreHTTP() As %Boolean [ ServerOnly = 1 ]
{
  Do %response.SetHeader("X-MyHeader", "some info")
  quit 1
}

}

In HTTP/2 added some features which are impossible or maybe possible in Cache

  • Server Push - allows pushing some resource from server to client, at any time, in parallel 
  • Data compression for HTTP Headers. How it will be now when I will need to read headers in a request.

And other features which also important but mostly on TCP Stack, and maybe really not Cache part.

Looks like there is some error with autodetecting links in a post here, just fixed it with manually marking correctly as a link in his comment.

In the first implementation, I tried to actually build the tree. But missed something, and got some duplications in the lowest branches. Then using the same tree trying to solve second part, I found more than one unbalanced branches and a long time had not noticed how it could be until I noticed duplications. Then I removed this way, and first part becomes much simpler if just search node which does not have parents. In the second part, you actually already have a tree when you know when it started from the first part.

Looks like just some simple implementation for Long Pulling requests.

But how about getting not just a progress but how to get some data before task finished. 

And also, I see beg security Issue, when I can get information from any other process. You use TaskId directly from the request like you trust everybody. And also easy to get SUBSCRIPT error.

BTW: do you suppose to acept someone's answer? Looks like it is mostly just discissing topic.

Today's task was pretty difficult, it takes few hours to solve it. I made a mistake in first part even if I got the right answer, but after when I rewrote my first part, the second part was solved quite fast. But I lost so much time to figure it out.

For current process

USER>f fmt="enuw","rusw","current","" do ##class(%SYS.NLS.Format).%New(fmt) w !,fmt,?10,$zd($h,11),?15,$zd($h,12)
 
enuw      Wed  Wednesday
rusw      Сре  Среда
current   St   středa
          Wed  Wednesday

Or for all new processes, without restart

%SYS>write $zd($h,12)
Wednesday
%SYS>Set ^SYS("NLS","Config","LocaleFormat")=1
 
%SYS>write $zd($h,12)
Wednesday
%SYS>Do Locale^NLSLOAD("rusw")

Looks like we in the same timezone, and you solve tasks faster than me. When your time today was 15:47 minutes for the first task. But on the main Leaderboard fastest time 2:58. I really don't understand how it would be possible, to solve it so fast.

anagram used all letters, so I just compared lengths of strings and used $tr() to remove all characters from string one in another.

So, your code I would change like 

ClassMethod IsAnagram(word,test) as %Boolean {

  if $L(word)'=$L(test) return 0

  return $tr(word,test)=""

}

Look at the documentation, there are some formats available to use in the $zdate function. Where 11 (abbreviated) and 12(full) looks like what you need.

write $zdate($h, 11)
Tue

Write $zdate($h, 12)
Tuesday

It would be better if you can add your SQL query, and if it is not a secret also Classes definition. So, we could see if something may be wrong with it. And you also should look at the book in the documentation about SQL Optimizations.

I also started from $zstrip,  but in task 1111 should produce 1, when $zstrip returns only one 1.

for the second task, you should simply compare values from the first half of string with the same position from the second half.

Why do you use such a strange url? You created the application with your class as Dispatch class. So, in this case, you should call this.

http://localhost:57772/USER/REST/Arun

where /USER/REST is web application, and everything else is already what should be in a REST.

PS. I would not recommend do not use uppercase for web applications

You can use colon to achieve it

<Route Url="/checkUID/:uid/:supplierid/" Method="GET" Call="Some.Other.Class:checkUID"/>

With Map tag in UrlMap, you can simply split your big UrlMap by multiple classes
