zipcode - Is it possible to send a zip code to maps V3 API to return a map centered on that zip code? -

-

i need display map on web page - have user's address info, security purposes need map centered on centroid point of zip code or city, not specific address.

is possible submit zip code google maps v3 api , have return map of postal code / zip-code?

or have first geocode zip code , submit lat/long?

this how doing using yahoo...

//assign zipcode database zipcode variable zipcode = ouser("zipcode")  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.maps.yahoo.com/ajaxymap?v=3.8&appid=x"> </script>  // create container  <div id="map" class="map">  <script type="text/javascript">  // create map object  var map = new ymap(document.getelementbyid('map'));  // display map centered on zipcode  map.drawzoomandcenter("<%=zipcode%>", 5);  </script>

if go google.com/maps , enter 5 digit zip code, website return map centered on central point of zip code. script above did same thing on website (until yahoo discontinued map service).

i’d same thing using google api – i’ve seen far indicates have send long/lat string of zip-code centroid point api - fine (we have zip-code/long/lat table in database) – requires more server work on our end – or on google’s if geocode zipcode on fly). i’d keep efficient possible , send postal_code if possible.

can done?

thanks,

c++ - Function signature as a function template parameter -

-
i'd use function signature template argument. works great classes, when try same trick function templates, msvc throws error: error c2768: 'func' : illegal use of explicit template arguments here's code: template <typename signature> void func(); template <typename r, typename a1> void func<r(a1)>(); what should make work? you cannot partially specialize function template, not supported language. can create partially specialized class template static member function, , possibly trampoline function instantiate class template , invoke static function. something this: namespace detail { template<typename signature> struct helper; template<typename r, typename a1> struct helper<r(a1)> { static void call() { // stuff r , a1... } }; } template<typename signature> void func() { detail::helper<signature>::call(); }

there's function on page want call after loads. not own page, can't insert html it. can please provide specific examples how chrome extension or greasemonkey?

algorithm - What are some ways to combine a number of (potentially incompatible) sorted sub-sets of a total set into a (partial) ordering of the total set? -

-
i have sorting problem i'm pretty sure doesn't have canonical "answer" - has number of different approaches, each pros/cons. i'm interested in hearing different approaches. suppose bunch of people {p_i | i=1,...,m} ranking favorite ice cream flavors. in total there n different flavors, single person p_i ranks n_i << n flavors or familiar with. i'm interested in combining these sub-rankings plausible overall ranking of n flavors. for concrete situation: m , n both 1000 (by coincidence), , each n_i 20 . can assume there's enough overlap in flavors people rank such no flavor "isolated". again, i'm interested in hearing different ways approach this, if there isn't single clear answer. thanks! one way approach problem construct directed cyclic graph representing of constraints on ordering of elements. nodes in graph represent different elements compared , have edge first node second node if had ranked first e
