Apple to orange queen

Apple to orange queen

An unresolvable and ultimately useless comparison.

A comparison which is just as easy to support as it is to contest.

Something which is both the same and different simultaneously depending on your point of view.

alt. *Apples to Apples*—Though not the initial meaning, occasionally the phrase «apples to oranges» is used to dismiss a «distinct difference» noted between two things which are not distinctly different. IE the neverending opinion wars often attributed to brand-loyalty. These are based on imaginary chasms of vast differences which cannot be proven or conclusively settled. IN other words these things are not really very different, but people desperately want to believe they are.

When someone says «you’re comparing apples to oranges» they’re really saying «Why are you trying to compare those things? You can’t compare apples to oranges, they’re just not the same thing.»

They’re both sweet. They’re both fruit. They’re both the same. But they’re not. One’s an apple, and one’s an orange. Is that all there is to it? One tastes better. No it doesn’t. Yes it does. How do you decide which one everyone likes more? How *can* you decide?

A great example of silly apples to oranges is vanilla and chocolate.

Invalid apples to oranges comparisons would be like comparing Bush or Clinton to Lincoln, Jefferson, or Washington. You can’t, so don’t.

Examples of useless «nonexistant-vast-differences» apples to oranges comparisons are Macs and PC’s, Fords and Chevys, Nikons and Canons.. In reality this is mostly «apples to apples» comparison.

Apples to oranges usually ends with each person believing or feeling whatever they do and leaving it at that. That’s all there is to it. Neither can really ever be better or worse, and nobody can win the argument.

In the end, the whole point of making the comparison is to illustrate: there is really no point in making the comparison.

HackerRank: “Apple and Oranges” — Simple Solutions to Hard Problems

This problem stumped me quite well. The following is the problem:

The example given above was quite straightforward, allowing me to find a proper and well written algorithm as soon as I read it. Based on the explanation given by the question, here is the written algorithm to solve this problem:

1. Create two variables first, to keep the numbers of apple and oranges. For the sake of the tutorial, we will call them apple_landed and orange_landed .
2. Loop through the array apple.
3. For every element of the displacement the loop is currently in, add a (distance of the apple tree) to the element, so that it will be the proper displacement in relation to the default (because the displacement in the array is related to the distance between the fallen fruit and its respective tree). Assign this current value to a temporary variable.
4. After adding the distance of the apple tree to the current element of the loop, I should check if it lands on to the house. This can be done by writing another loop that it will iterate through the position of the house. For example, if the position of my house’s s is 7 and t is 10, it will iterate through 7,8,9, and 10.
5. If the temporary variable from the 2nd step is equal to one of the iterations from the 3rd step, then add 1 to the variable apple_landed.
6. Repeat step 1 to 5, but using orange tree this time.
7. Print apple_landed and orange_landed on two separate lines. Use «\n» to help with adding the new line.

That was my initial algorithm. From this algorithm, the following snippet is the algorithm translated to Python3 code:

However, it is silly to think that an algorithm can pass through all crazy test cases that the dear question maker had made. After running it for a single test case and got the green light, I tried to run the whole test case. It failed after succeeding in only 3 test cases, while the other failed cases resulted in a “Terminated due to timeout :(“ error.

A simple Google search showed that a Termination due to timeout error happens when the program runs at a much slower time than expected, which resulted in the program itself being terminated. Besides, who would want to run a slow program? Slow program sucks. This is why I breathe and live in code. I hate slow things. Things that aren’t efficient. I hate waiting. Waiting is the biggest waste of time, especially if it’s waiting for nothing. I aim to make things quicker. To solve problems no one could solve.

Enough with my bravado. The reason a program could run this slow is because of the use of arrays instead of Hash Maps. Huh, interesting enough. For once, I actually learned something from a mistake.

After searching through the ever helpful discussion bar for the first time, it turned out that another user experienced the same problem as me. A user pointed out that what causes the timeout is the algorithm step number 4. Paying my Hackos to see a locked test case revealed that a certain test case has a very high difference between s and t. Imagine iterating through each of those numbers, it would be too much for the computer to handle.

And so, another user proposed a solution, one that is way too simple that made me wonder why I couldn’t think of it in the first place. The solution is: replace iterating over the s and t, and instead see if the number is greater than/equal to s and lower than/equal to t. This is what the final answer looks like:

This small addition to the code passed all the test case.

And it hurts. It hurts and exciting at the same time. To see such simple solution to a problem that could hurt the runtime of a program. It hurts, because obviously I am lacking in proper skills. I haven’t been doing much exercises while all other people are probably banging their back bones over solving 10 algorithm problems a day.

Hopefully, I could apply this life lesson to advance my programming career.

Death

First Appearance

Apple is a character who appeared in The Annoying Orange, Microwave Effect and in many other Annoying Orange episodes as a part of flashbacks. Because he is one of the most illustrious characters of the Annoying Orange series, his death left a significant legacy from then on.

Contents

Appearance

The character is depicted as an anthropomorphic red apple. He was one of Orange’s best friends and rivals, as referenced in the episode’s description.

Biography

Apple in live-action format

Apple first appeared in the Annoying Orange episode Hey Apple!, where he is seen being annoyed by Orange when he constantly says, “Hey, Apple!”. Orange then proceeded to crack jokes and puns, and babbling his tongue at Apple until he eventually loses his temper and tells him to be quiet. After a few seconds of silence, Orange then warns Apple about Knife, who then appeared and sliced Apple to death. After being cut up, he was carried away by Dane Boedigheimer, most likely to be eaten up. He later appears in The Microwave Effect, when Orange, Pear, Midget Apple and Marshmallow go back in time to the first episode (which is obviously re-filmed, proven as their speech were different (as they went back in time) and contains no archive footage). They alter history when Pear accidentally tells Apple that he will be knifed (while warning Orange not to change the past). After the future group vanishes, the past Orange is about to tell Apple he’s gonna get knifed. Scared, Apple avoids knife. Two years later, the group arrives back to the present and discover Grapefruit, Grandpa Lemon and Passion Fruit enslaved by a group of apples led by Apple. King Apple’s police force, the Robo Apple, orders the newcomers to put their hands in the air. Apple (known «King Apple» during late 2011) orders him to fire at will. Fortunately, Burrito (controlling the microwave time machine) sends the group back to the past a moment after they left. Past Orange and Present Orange distract Apple until he gets knifed. The future group then leaves (although the timeline remains altered by the fact that there are several clones of pear towards the end of the episode and there is no reason given why). After this, he was mysteriously revived like many other characters in the series (as proven due to the fact that he appears in the opening sequence of The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange, although this could be an unintentional mistake, as another apple was the main apple in the series). He has yet to appear in a future episode of The Annoying Orange.

Relationships

Orange

Apple isn’t really friends with Orange, since he loses his temper after Orange proceeds to crack jokes and puns and babbling his tongue, getting to the point when Apple gets really annoyed and tells Orange to be quiet for more than 3 seconds.

Knife

Knife made his debut appearance as an inanimate murder weapon in The Annoying Orange. Knife quartered Apple, killing him.

Pear was most likely Apple’s friend, but it is unknown as Pear was not seen until after Apple died.

Dane Boedigheimer

After Apple was killed by Knife, Boedigheimer took the sliced remains of Apple and Knife away, and most likely ate Apple after the episode.

Legacy

Apple as the King of the Kitchen

Despite being killed in his first appearance, Apple is mentioned many times later in the Annoying Orange series. Apple is mentioned in the episodes followed:

• TOE-MAY-TOE: Orange mistakes Tomato for Apple because he looks like him because he is red.
• Sandy Claus: Orange says Santa Claus may be an apple because he is red. Then, at the end of the episode, Orange says to Santa, «You’re an apple!». Then, Orange began to use the term «Apple» as an insult.
• Hey YOUTUBE. : Orange calls out to Apple to ask him to help turn the camera off, even though he is dead. It might be the viewer, though, because he thinks the viewers are like Apple himself.
• Annoying Orange gets Autotuned: Orange refers to the Apple iPhone as «Apple».
• Pain-apple: Orange becomes confused when Pineapple tells Orange his name and thinks he’s an apple.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Apples: Orange laughed when the Green Apple calls himself an apple, thinking apples are always red as Apple was originally red.
• Jalapeño: Orange thought Jalapeño was an apple after realizing apples can be green.
• The Amnesiac Orange: Orange lost his memory, and believed himself to be an apple, fooled by another apple.
• The Annoying Orange Animated: Apple reappears and the same thing happens.
• The same scene is used for the apple from «The Amnesiac Orange», and for the apple from «Ready to Rumble».
• Apple is usually confused with another apple who is seen on many Annoying Orange bumpers.
• Crappy Captioned: He is revived to appear in a special episode that shows what the first Annoying Orange episode would’ve looked like if Google’s faulty captions were used to tell the story. In this episode, he and Orange say nothing but nonsense. In this version, he doesn’t die, as instead of Orange yelling, «Knife!» he yelled, «Night!».
• Apple appeared in Creepy Pasta being bored by pear’s Algebra lesson.
