TAKE FOUR PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Karen Kingsbury | 368 pages | 22 Jun 2010 | ZONDERVAN | 9780310266273 | English | Grand Rapids, United States Take Four: Jazz - Syracuse Additionally, solutions that repeat operators are marked in italics. Note that numbers with values less than one are not usually written with a leading zero. For example, "0. This is because "0" is a digit, and in this puzzle only the digit "4" can be used. A given number will generally have a few possible solutions; any solution that meets the rules is acceptable. Some variations prefer the "fewest" number of operations, or prefer some operations to others. Others simply prefer "interesting" solutions, i. Certain numbers, such as , are particularly difficult to solve under typical rules. This problem and its generalizations like the five fives and the six sixes problem, both shown below may be solved by a simple algorithm. The basic ingredients are hash tables that map rationals to strings. In these tables, the keys are the numbers being represented by some admissible combination of operators and the chosen digit d , e. There is one table for each number n of occurrences of d. Now there are two ways in which new entries may arise, either as a combination of existing ones through a binary operator, or by applying the factorial or square root operators which does not use additional instances of d. The first case is treated by iterating over all pairs of subexpressions that use a total of n instances of d. Memoization is used to ensure that every hash table is only computed once. The second case factorials and roots is treated with the help of an auxiliary function, which is invoked every time a value v is recorded. This function computes nested factorials and roots of v up to some maximum depth, restricted to rationals. The last phase of the algorithm consists in iterating over the keys of the table for the desired value of n and extracting and sorting those keys that are integers. This algorithm was used to calculate the five fives and six sixes examples shown below. The more compact formula in the sense of number of characters in the corresponding value was chosen every time a key occurred more than once. In the table below, the notation.

Review quote Andi Ellison is struggling with the choice of whether or not to keep her baby. She thought God was telling her to give it up for adoption.

Take Four (Above the Line, #4) by Karen Kingsbury Probably so. But I am adept at creating my own endings when I'm unhappy with an author's choice, and I may just do that and let it go! Nov 15, Sara rated it it was amazing. Love it just like the entire series. I was sad to find out that this was the last in the series but glad to hear that she is going to continue with Bailey's story which ofcourse will still talk about the Baxter family and Flannigans so that's good. I wonder if I will ever get tired of reading this series. What I love most about them is how much I feel God's presence when reading them. It is the best form of Bible study for me than any Bible studies I have ever done. They are so uplifting and talk about real situations which both belivers and nonbelivers can identify with. Aug 07, Stephanie Dulac rated it it was amazing. Jun 30, Regina rated it it was ok Shelves: christian- fiction. This was not my favorite Karen Kingsbury series; too many plot lines, and the story seemed contrived even for Christian fiction. Jan 05, Becky rated it it was ok. Not my favorite KK book. Disappointing end to the Above the Line series. Not what I have come to expect from this author. Andi Ellison is nineteen and pregnant. She's committed to giving up her baby for adoption, but the myriad of emotions that she experiences during pregnancy makes her begin to wonder if she's doing the right thing. Will she continue with adoption or will she decide that it's time for her to be a mother? Everything seems to be going Bailey Flanagan's way. She has a big audition and a promising beginning to a real relationship with Cody Coleman. Will she find all her dreams come true or will all her Andi Ellison is nineteen and pregnant. Will she find all her dreams come true or will all her hopes be dashed? This is a book that truly played on my emotions. There were so many good emotional payoffs in this book. This has been a difficult series to read because of all the things that happen that just left me feeling brokenhearted and disappointed. This book kept me in the broken hearted camp, but allowed me to get some closure and happiness from what has gone on in these stories. I truly loved many of the things that happened and how they were resolved, so this was an excellent book to me. I will go through each point-of-view character briefly. Don't forget that there will be spoilers ahead, so read at our own risk. Bailey: Bailey actually starts this book off with a little disappointment. Her Broadway audition doesn't go quite the way that she hopes, but at the same time, a door opens for her to get the lead part in a major Hollywood movie. That's kind of a great second opportunity. She attempts to start a relationship with Cody Coleman, only to find that he distances himself from her, leading to her broken heart.
