I consider myself a pretty good Mathematica programmer, but I'm always looking out for ways to either improve my way of doing things in Mathematica, or to see if there's something nifty that I haven't ...

... or are they unnecessary in such a high-level language? I've been thinking about programming style, coding standards and the like quite a bit lately, the result of my current work on a mixed .Net/...

The epilogue: A paper where the below answer is used was published. The answer below is cited among the references:) The background: I have to fit an objective function for ~10 000 datasets in near ...

What is the most space and time efficient way to implement a Trie in Mathematica? Will it be practically faster than what is natively available in appropriate cases?

my main question is how I can compare the last output of a nested function with all the previous ones and stop iterating when I find a repeating value. (I have 2 other questions but I think they are ...

As one learns from a course on data structures, hash maps or dictionaries can be efficient when applied to appropriate tasks. I need a hash map in Mathematica and I've never found it. I'm scratching ...

I am trying to create a code that can identify the following terms in a grid of letters: MATHEMATICA, STACK, EXCHANGE and USERS. ...

There's a game I saw at a friend's yesterday, that I often see at people's homes, but never for enough time to think on it too hard. It's called peg solitaire (thanks @R.M). So I came home and I ...

The basic problem I have been running into is making readable code, where in other languages I am more familiar with I might have been using class or struct like objects. For example, you can imagine ...

This would calculate the factorial of 6, if the "self" was the function itself. Is there something that could allow this? ...

I want to program a function that counts the successive positions with the same value: In[]= ConsecutiveValues[{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0}] Out[]= {4, 2, 1, 1} In ...

Is it possible for Mathematica to layout a graph so that the connections lie on a grid? Furthermore, for graphs with multiple edges per vertex, is it possible to specify the location on the vertex ...

Given a list of word characters, such as this one, I'd like to build a tree, similar to this makeTree function, but with the tree in a different format. So, for an input such as ...

I'm trying to write a function that can solve a tridiagonal system of linear equations using the Thomas algorithm. It basically solves the following equation. (Details can be found at the Wiki page ...
