Java github (Closest pair of points) Section 22.8 introduced the following algorithm for finding the closest pair of points using a divide-and-conquer approach: Step 1: Sort the points in increasing order of x-coordinates. For the points with the same x-coordinates, sort on y-coordinates. The result should be a sorted collection of points denoted by S. Step 2: Divide S into two subsets, S1 and S2, of equal size about the midpoint of the sorted list S. Include the midpoint in S1. Recursively find the closest pair in S1 and S2. Let d1 and d2 denote the distance of closest pairs in the two subsets, respectively. Step 3: Find the closest pair between a point in S1 and a point in S2 and denote the distance between them as d3. The closest pair is the one with distance equal to the minimum of {d1, d2, d3}. The Algorithm for Obtaining stripL and stripR is: for each point p in pointsOrderedOnY if (p is in S1 and mid. x - p. x

Read this excerpt from helen keller’s autobiography, the story of my life. have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? i was like that ship before my education began, only i was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. "light! give me light! " was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour. . the morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. the little blind children at the perkins institution had sent it and laura bridgman had dressed it; but i did not know this until afterward. when i had played with it a little while, miss sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." i was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. when i finally succeeded in making the letters correctly i was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. running downstairs to my mother i held up my hand and made the letters for doll. i did not know that i was spelling a word or even that words existed; i was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. in the days that followed i learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. based on this excerpt, which words best describe helen keller?
