          RunProcess does not run shell commands (things you might type into your terminal). It runs processes, as the name suggests.



          If you want to run shell commands, then you have these options:





          • Run (it does not give you the output)


          • Import["!yourcommand", "String"] or similar (to get the output)

          • Run your shell with RunProcess/StartProcess and pass the commands to it on its standard input. StartProcess has an example like this.

          • For this specific task, run cmd.exe with the /c flag and tell it what to execute. RunProcess has an example like this.

          Quarter-circle Tiles

          Image
          up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

          build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

          Image
          0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
