Therefore we can restrict our search to only those numbers that have such a bit set and repeat the process for the next bit. If such a pair exists we know that it must be greater than any pair that has equal values for that bit because all the remaining bits cannot add up to more than that most significant bit. For that bit to be set in e xor ai, they must have opposite values for that bit. First lets look at how to calculate: out of some numbers ai, what is max of e xor ai? Consider the largest bit set in any ai or set in e. ![]() ![]() ![]() King is slotted to both star in the project and serve as an executive producer, with McG, known for his work on Charlie's Angels and Netflix's The Babysitter, set to direct. Netflix picked up the rights to adapt the film in 2020, with Deadline announcing the film as a partnership between the streaming giant and Joey King. Netflix is adapting the Scott Westerfeld book Uglies, a story about a young teen fighting against a government just as controlling with its citizens as the Capitol is in The Hunger Games. While The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is based on the prequel novel to The Hunger Games trilogy, another series is getting the adaptation treatment. With the upcoming film The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, it seems fans of the once-popular genre are about to experience a new group of movies based on their favorite series. ![]() ![]() Young adult dystopian movies are making a comeback. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ll admit at the beginning, I was having doubts about the book because I felt the pace of the storyline wasn’t hooking me in as quickly as I’d hoped.Then it pivots to a place that makes you escape into the characters and their journey and not want to put it down. As I was pleasantly surprised that I actually really enjoyed that aspect of it, once I got a grip on the transition of the plot, it was really engaging. When I started reading the book, I hadn’t realized that I would be diving into the magical realism genre. I’m always on the fence about the audiobook version of books but after reading this paperback version, I’m really curious how this would translate into an audiobook. This was an emotionally driven book from the heart of the characters. I wasn’t expecting the story to unravel into what developed but felt mesmerized and engaged with the characters and the storyline. The Lighthouse by Christopher Parker was one of those unexpected gems that you unexpectedly come across. ![]() ![]() ![]() How did you cope with the disappointment or discouragement while you kept moving forward? It took you a long time to get published. Your family may always love (or have no interest!) in what you write, but teachers are the ones whose encouragement really carries weight and powers you through the years of rejection. I think every writer knows, it’s really the teachers on this one that make the difference. In fact, getting this book published gave me a great excuse to reach out to each of them where possible, and they are all so thrilled for me. The other key formative influence on my writing has been my English teachers and university professors over the years, each of whom I thank in the acknowledgements to my book. Both my parents thoroughly encouraged and supported me in whatever I did. And my father would always come back from business trips with books for me, including each of the seven Anne of Green Gables series and a wonderful Austen anthology, all of which I still own and treasure. My mum put together my first book for me when I was eight, with a front and back cover held together by string and those little seals for punched holes in paper. My mother says that even before I could read, as young as 2 or 3, I traipsed about the house with a little pencil in my hand and would pretend to scribble down musings.

It just seemed that this would be the best way.” “The idea of the dual narrative came to me immediately. which were very important to the overall story I wanted to tell,” she says. “I was dealing with two very wide time spans. “I was interested in telling the story it’s actually quite a difficult story,” says Park, 50, the daughter of Korean immigrants. The finely woven novel is a fictionalized account based on the life of Salva Dut-who lives in Rochester, New York, not far from Park. As the Second Sudanese Civil War erupts in the mid-1980s, Salva is forced to run as bombs hit his village. The latest work by the Newbery Award-winning author, A Long Walk to Water, is a good example, telling a vividly authentic tale of hardship, hope and survival in war-ravaged Sudan from the parallel points of views of children from two different generations who share similar challenges.Ī Long Walk to Water alternates the story of 11-year-old Nya, growing up in Sudan circa 2008, with the story of Salva, also 11, who hails from a prominent, upper-class Sudanese family. “I just have a lot of confidence in young readers being able to handle things that maybe some adults don’t think they can handle,” says Park.
