ColdFusion Weekly Version 2.15 - May 14, 2007 - Mark Mandel on Transfer

Mark Mandel on Transfer -- Live From cf.objective()

CFReport

Konference Korner

  • Same as 2.14

CF_Quiz

  • Version 2.13 - Deadline: Saturday, May 19, 2007
    • Another programming exercise! Matt ran into this at work and thought it would be interesting to see how other people would solve this problem.

      Assume you have an array with n number of elements, and you want to retrieve a random number of elements from this array. The random number you want to retrieve is less than n, but greater than 1, and you cannot retrieve the same element twice. So for example, let's say your array has 10 elements in it and you want to retrieve 5 random elements, but none of these 5 can duplicate one another. How would you do that?
