As the previous post showed, it’s possible to correctly implement the Extended Euclidean Algorithm using one signed integral type for all input parameters, intermediate variables, and output variables. None of the calculations will overflow. The implementation was given as follows: … Continue reading →

Euclid’s method is a classic algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two integers. Donald Knuth referred to it as “the granddaddy of all algorithms, because it is the oldest nontrivial algorithm that has survived to the present … Continue reading →

Exhaustive testing is the idea of testing every single possible combination of inputs to a function. It’s great if you can do it, but there’s a related idea we need to discuss alongside it. The idea is certainty in testing … Continue reading →

This is a continuation of the blog entry on a quick start guide to setting up Google Test, this time specific to Visual Studio. First Things First If you used the quick start guide to set up Google Test, you … Continue reading →

There are a few different ways that you can get Google Test and then set it up to begin using it. The Google Test documentation skims a bit over the basic starting steps, then presents perhaps a choice overload for … Continue reading →
