Just wanted to know, if you had a scene graph, how do you get multiple components from a specific scene node within a scene graph? Like if I wanted to get a component from wheel from the scene graph, does that require traversing still?
Like if a physics component requires a transform component and these two component are part of the same scene node. How does the physics component knows how to get the scene object's transform it is attached to, this being in a scene graph?
How to develop a C program that receives the message sent by the provided program and displays the name and email included in the message on the screen?Here is the code of the program that sends the message for reference:
typedef struct { long tipo; struct { char nome[50]; char email[40]; } dados;} MsgStruct;
int main() { int msg_id, status; msg_id = msgget(1000, 0600 | IPC_CREAT); exit_on_error(msg_id, "Creation/Connection"); MsgStruct msg; msg.tipo = 5; strcpy(msg.dados.nome, "Pedro Silva"); strcpy(msg.dados.email, "pedro@sapo.pt"); status = msgsnd(msg_id, &msg, sizeof(msg.dados), 0); exit_on_error(status, "Send"); printf("Message sent!\n");}

For simplification, only consider cutting the rope at an integer position by the meter metric. Each cut has a cost associated with it, c(m), which is the cost of cutting the rope at position m. (You can call c(m) at any time to return the cost value.) The goal is to cut the rope into k smaller pieces, minimizing the total cost of cutting. B Provide the pseudo-code of your dynamic programming algorithm f(n,k) that will return the minimum cost of cutting the rope of length n into k pieces. Briefly explain your algorithm. What is the benefit of using dynamic programming for this problem? What are the key principles of dynamic programming used in your algorithm?arrow_forward
