    Number of possible state graphs vs possible states

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 09:34 PM PDT

    This is just a question which popped into my head. Perhaps it's been answered but I have no idea how I'd formulate a Google search for it.

    A computer has a finite number of states. The majority of those states will transition to another state (an end state would be a halt).

    If you made a graph mapping every possible state to its next state and then pulled it apart to form its constituent connected graphs is there any idea how many there would be vs total number of possible states? Is there at least an upper and lower bound?

    A second and perhaps easier question is whether each state has a one to one mapping. I.e. is there a way for multiple initial states to map to the same result? If so it would imply that the answer to my initial question is that the number of disconnected graphs is vastly smaller than the total number of possible states.

    I'm not sure if this is in any way useful but I've had fun the past twenty minutes trying to work things out.


    Okay, I'm an idiot on the second question. The answer is no. Getting stuck in an infinite loop is an obvious example.

    Newbie Applied to CS/bio and CS/math double majors. Advice needed!

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 05:05 PM PDT

    Hey all, hope you're all well and healthy!

    I applied today for an inter-faculty transfer from Finance to CS/Bio or CS/Math double majors (still 3 years!).

    Why? Well... I have an associate degree in STEM, been studying AP science and math classes for the last 7 years, and always felt more comfortable in this field. I hated the heavy group projects in business and the crazy grade curving policies (B- to B+ class averages). Most of all, I didn't see myself as either a CPA or Financial advisor. When doing my STEM classes of the past, I've always enjoyed them, especially math, physics.

    The issue/concern is: I've never programmed before and it's been 2-2.5 years since my last math class!

    I'm a really solid student, I know that whatever I put my head to, I'll succeed in, but for some reason I feel weird going into this degree.

    I've been hearing how tough/arduous it is, how my GPA is going to get blown out of the water, how the math + coding is super frustrating... But I feel that like in society today, we hear a lot of the bad... But not a lot of the good.

    Do you guys have any insight/advice for me? Anything would be extremely appreciated! I'm the first of my family to go to college!

    Associates degree in computer science-business applications?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 02:29 PM PDT

    Hello, i do eventually want to pursue my BA in computer science(FIU) but I'd like to finish an associates first to get a headstart in working. Besides general ed, the associates has these courses-

    CGS 1540 database concepts design CIS 2331 - Systems Analysis, Design and Implementation COP 1334 - Introduction to C++ Programming COP 2800 - Java Programming (4 credits) 8. PROGRAM ELECTIVE (24.00 credits) Must take 8.0 credits from the following group. ACG 2021 - Financial Accounting (3 credits) ACG 2021L - Financial Accounting Lab (1 credits) COP 1332 - Introduction to Visual Basic Programming (4 credi - - - And - - - Must take 16.0 credits from the following group. COP 1120 - Introduction to COBOL Programming (4 credits) COP 2129 - Advanced COBOL Programming (4 credits) COP 2333 - Advanced Programming Concepts using Visual Basic (4 credits) COP 2335 - Object Oriented Programming using C++ (4 credi COP 2805 COP 2842 - Developing Websites using PHP/MYSQL (4 cr

    I want to work as a programmer, preferrably at a job with benefits. Is this sufficient to get a >40k+job? Its either this or an associates in nursing. Im in south florida.
