Infinite loop while adding two integers using bitwise operations in Python 3 -

-

i trying solve question writing python code adding 2 integers without use of '+' or '-' operators. have following code works 2 positive numbers:

def getsum(self, a, b):      while (a & b):         x = & b         y = ^ b         = x << 1         b = y      return ^ b

this piece of code works if input 2 positive integers or 2 negative integers fails when 1 number positive , other negative. goes infinite loop. idea why might happening ?

python 3 has arbitrary-precision integers ("bignums"). means anytime x negative, x << 1 make x negative number twice magnitude. zeros shifting in right push number larger , larger.

in two's complement, positive numbers have 0 in highest bit , negative numbers have 1 in highest bit. means that, when 1 of a , b negative, top bits of a , b differ. therefore, x positive (1 & 0 = 0) , y negative (1 ^ 0 = 1). new a positive (x<<1) , new b negative (y).

now: arbitrary-precision negative integers have infinite number of leading 1 bits, @ least mathematicallly. a larger , larger positive number, expanding 2 each iteration. b keeps getting more , more leading 1 bits added able carry out bitwise & , ^ a. whatever bits of a turned on line 1 of added 1 bits of b, a & b true, loop runs forever.

i'm new python/django , created simple django website using pycharm. site works fine running on computer, i'm lost when comes taking site onto host (dreamhost). i'm able upload files correct directories fine, , believe made correct changes database on mysql. i'm not sure go there though. right now, page shows files rather site. direction appreciated. much! you should not run django application using python manage.py runserver on production. how run application on django depends on server (apache, nginx) want use for apache - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/ for nginx - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-uwsgi-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04 the mysql database should, of course, exist , have correct credentials. or, if choose use sqlite, file should accessible, readable , writable www-user (may different depending on linux distributive)

java - Sending SMS with SMSLib and Web Services -

i have made rest web service send smss using hsdpa usb modem. using smslib in java send smss. every time web service invoked, create gateway start service, send message, stop service , remove gateway. takes 20 seconds each message. found starting service takes lot of time. part of code use send smss service.getinstance().addgateway(gateway); service.getinstance().startservice(); outboundmessage msg = new outboundmessage(phonenumber, message); if (service.getinstance().sendmessage(msg)) { result = "message sent successfully!!"; } else { result = "could not send message."; } service.getinstance().stopservice(); service.getinstance().removegateway(gateway);//remove gateway is there way can start service once if not started , use send message when ever web service invoked? why dont group messages , send in 1 go? service.getinstance().sendmessages(messa...

i'm trying read json file local machine. @path("/") public class jsonparsing { file f = new file("file.json"); if (f.exists()){ inputstream = new fileinputstream("file.json"); string jsontxt = ioutils.tostring(is); system.out.println(jsontxt); jsonobject json = new jsonobject(jsontxt); string = json.getstring("1000"); system.out.println(a); } } but i'm getting error in tostring() method. possible read .txt file containing json object local machine? if possible, how done? firstly: whenever ask question- add imports well. secondly: yes possible read .txt file containing json object. steps: 1. add maven dependency in pom.xml - <dependency> <groupid>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupid> <artifactid>json-simple</artifactid> <version>1.1.1</version> </dependency> or add jar of dependency. 2.import...
