In the sentence "the correct form here would be..", what does 'would' mean?     A: I've got a doubt concerning a statement to talk about the future: do we say the best student will win a prize or The best student is winning a prize?      Answer: The correct form here would be "will win". You would say "is winning" when you are describing the present - i.e. when you are watching the prize-giving.
In the sentence "the best choice would be...", what does "would" mean in the following sentence?     Questioner: Is this sentence correct?   'Finished eating, we went to the zoo'.      Answer: I'm afraid that is not correct. The phrase 'Finished eating' is a participle phrase with a passive meaning and you need an active meaning here. The best choice would be 'Having finished eating...'.
When voting to migrate an off-topic question, why is the list of sites limited? I had originally coded the program wrongly. Instead of returning the Fibonacci numbers between a range (ie. startNumber 1, endNumber 20 should = only those numbers between 1 &amp; 20), I have written for the program to display all Fibonacci numbers between a range (ie. startNumber 1, endNumber 20 displays = First 20 Fibonacci numbers). I thought I had a sure-fire code. I also do not see why this is happening.  startNumber = int(raw_input("Enter the start number here ")) endNumber = int(raw_input("Enter the end number here "))  def fib(n):     if n &lt; 2:         return n     return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1)  print map(fib, range(startNumber, endNumber))   Someone pointed out in my Part II (which was closed for being a duplicate - ) that I need to pass the startNumber and endNumber through a generator using a while loop. Can someone please point me in the direction on how to do this? Any help is welcome.    I'm a learning programmer and I've run into a bit of a jumble. I am asked to write a program that will compute and display Fibonacci's Sequence by a user inputted start number and end number (ie. startNumber = 20 endNumber = 100 and it will display only the numbers between that range). The trick is to use it inclusively (which I do not know how to do in Python? - I'm assuming this means to use an inclusive range?).  What I have so far is no actual coding but rather:   Write Fib sequence formula to infinite Display startNumber to endNumber only from Fib sequence.   I have no idea where to start and I am asking for ideas or insight into how to write this. I also have tried to write the Fib sequence forumla but I get lost on that as well. Death in SAO before Kayaba announcement I was wondering if in the novel we knew about some deaths occurring before Kayaba announcement. I remember that in the anime, Kirito plays a bit with Cline before realizing that the log off option has disappeared. Then all the people are summoned to the city and learn about the fact that if they die in the game, they also die in real life.  I don't remember any players dying before the announcement in the anime, except for those who are not waking up and their relative pulling off their NerveGear thus causing death, but maybe in the light novel, some guys died without even knowing it just while being defeated by a mob (which seems awful for me).  Do we know about some players dying before that while thinking they are still in a normal game? How do I URL encode a string How to change LCD brightness from command line (or via script)? To work around  (changing LCD brightness via hotkeys impossible), I'd like to have one command line query for increasing and one for reducing the brightness of my LCD. I could then map a hotkey to each one of this queries.  The problem is: I don't know how to increase and reduce the LCD brightness on the command line. Do you? Changing local IP address with networksetup command on OSX? My computer routinely receives connection from another host in the local network. However, the router changes its ip address quite frequently, and maybe netsh's equivalent, networksetup, can help? Is $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$ a UFD or not? Is $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-7}]$ a UFD or not? I feel like there should be some easy example showing that it is not, but I can not think of one. , but how can I add or edit a URL (or URI) in the history? $x^{p-1} + ... + x^2 + x + 1$ is irreducible using Eisenstein's criterion? Eisenstein's criterion says that for a prime $p$ if the following conditions are satisfied for a primitive polynomial, $f(x)$, then that polynomial is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$  $p \mid a_0, a_0, ..., a_{n-1}$   $p \not\mid a_n$  $p^2 \not\mid a_0^2$  Now I am almost certain I read somewhere that this lemma can be used to prove that the polynomial $x^{p-1} + x^{p-2} + ... + x^2 + x + 1$ is irreducible.  All coefficients are $1$ though and we have have an awkward amount of terms, $p - 1$ terms as opposed to $p$ terms - so how can Eisenstein's criterion be applied here? How to get a DOM Element from a jQuery selector? How does $ \sum_{p<x} p^{-s} $ grow asymptotically for $ \text{Re}(s) < 1 $? How to output multiple image sizes from one design? I am designing an app for Android and as you may know that Android uses 6 different density buckets from LDPI to XXXHDPI.   Is there a way to save multiple outputs of different sizes from one design using either Photoshop, Illustrator, or another software?  If not will I have to resize it 6 times or is there an easy way? What are the differences in targets, and when should I switch to one? So I get the 4 options for target selection are:   Attackers Badges Randoms K.O.s   What I don't understand is the pros/cons for selecting each one, and what situations would make each one useful.  Things like Badges and K.O. makes no sense to start off with because nobody starts off with badges, and nobody is going to start off near death unless they are purposely trying to lose (by hard dropping int he same position). I've tried the strategy then of just sticking with Attackers, but then I all of sudden get wave after wave of garbage late into the game.    So it begs the question -- what are the differences in target choices, and how can I use that to my advantage to become a Tetris 99 champion? On the nilpotence of the matrix $AB-BA$ What type of lens will auto-focus on Nikon bodies without a focus motor? Map "Super+ArrowDown" to minimize a window while the window is focused & the window is not in fullscreen I would like to add a conditional key mapping to Ubuntu 19.10.   Normally when a window is in full screen mode and you press super+arrowDown it enters window mode (or whatever it is called).   When a window now is in "window mode" I would like to be able to minimise it (and only then) by using super+arrowDown on it.  Is it possible to create such a shortcut without affecting the mapping of super+arrowDown on full screen windows? How to prove this sequent using natural deduction? How do I prove $$S\rightarrow \exists xP(x) \vdash \exists x(S\rightarrow P(x))$$ using natural deduction? Just an alignment of which axioms or rules that one could use would be much appreciated. Is there a closed form solution for the following series? (Without Using Gamma Function): $$ S=\sum _{i=1}^{n-1} \frac{1}{(i+1)!} $$ Story about criminal being "adjusted" which stops a man's commute I'm trying to remember the name of a story, I think the author was Larry Niven, but it might possibly be from Heinlein's "Future History" series (but a check of the stories included in the Future History indicates it's not in there), about a man whose commute is stopped because a criminal has to be 'adjusted'.  In this case, the criminal was a hit-and-run driver who left his victim untreated on the roadside, and was sentenced to suffer in the same manner. So his leg was carefully broken and he was left, untreated and in pain, on the side of the road in the same place for an hour. All the time ambulances were standing by, and every effort was made to ensure that the criminal did not suffer unduly - but that he did suffer, in a manner as close to the suffering he inflicted on his victim.
