Not in the 2nd monitor

Instead of posting all recent answers, how about posting only zombie killers?

What's a zombie killer? Answer on a question with no other non-deleted answers.

As a twist, to avoid encouraging FGITW style answers, add a date condition: the question must be more than X days old.

But, I don't know how much noise this will generate, and if the 2nd monitor can take it. I think it would be too much. So instead of unleashing this on the 2nd monitor, how about a new room for it called Zombie Killers.

Don't you hate it when the same file exists at multiple places. I do so, I wrote a simple utility to help clean them up.

The program takes a directory name on the command line, and traverses the filesystem tree recursively, collecting all files. Since comparing content can be expensive, to minimize the number of comparisons, I thought a merge sort logic would be effective.

http://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/83601/finding-the-mth-to-last-element

If I'm interpreting the definition right, the input contains single letters, all delimited by precisely one space character, and at the end of the line is a single digit (1 to 9). This is the way it seems to make the most sense. I will assume this interpretation in my answer.

First, to make the solution testable, I'd extract the main logic to a function that takes a line and returns the mth-to-last character or 0 (that's different from '0', mind you) if m is out of range.

Hey guys,

A new year is a new beginning, and a good time for changes.

I’d like to have a free discussion with you, while having breakfast, to talk about last year and the coming new year:

  • What we did right and should keep doing
  • What we did wrong, what didn’t work, and should stop doing
  • New ideas we can do for this year
