I have a tool.
This tool extracts an executable file (called binA) and then this tool call ./binA
binA file is in where is the same tool's location.
I make a soft link to this tool run anywhere:



ln -s /home/user/Desktop/tool /usr/local/bin


This tool extracted successfully but can't call ./binA
I tried call ln -s /home/user/Desktop/tool /usr/local/bin this tool can't extract binA file.



What is the best solution for this problem?






symbolic-link

    Did you make your file binA executable, so that you can run it, when you call it directly from the directory, where is is located: ./binA ? In that case a symbolic link to it should also make it run. An alternative is to move the file binA to a directory in PATH, for example /usr/local/bin

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
