I have seen people code for example, say a quicksort algorithm without using OOP. I have also seen the identical algorithm in Robert Lafore's data structure and algorithm textbook written under OOP framework.
Is it better to do it using OOP ? What are the advantages or disadvantages?
Suppose I know how to write an algorithm in both ways, should I always do it the OOP way ? Or does it depend on the algorithm itself ? If yes, then what algorithms would using OOP be beneficial ?

Is it necessary to memorize the code of data structures like linked lists, dynamic arrays , circular linked list, queues , stacks , Graphs etc. Or just the basic knowledge of code is enough ? What kind of questions can be asked in a job interview regarding data structures ?
I don't know what your (future) employer may ask, but generally, I'd say no. You have to know how they work and what they're used for, expecially which data structure serves which purpose with its advantages/disadvantages. If you know that, you'll be able to write the code of such a structure without having it memorized - because you know how it will work.

Can any algorithm that performs automatic learning be called a "machine learning algorithm"? Or is this designation is reserved to the known ML algorithms like SVM, Feature Selection... ?
Any algorithm that learns to do a task by itself and gets better at it is considered machine learning even if it just as simple as computing the joint probability. Only condition is automated learning, that's all.

Sorry that this question is subjective, but given that the Stack Overflow has the largest Z3 user base, I want to give it a try.
I have a big constraint satisfaction problem that consists of many integer propositional logic formulas and a few first order logic formulas that only contain integers(quantifiers). I care very much about the efficiency, because I am building an interactive program synthesizer.
I am now using z3 solver and the check time is sometimes too long. I wonder if z3 is the best tool to tackle the problem I mentioned in above or there is a better tool? How about CPLEX?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Edit:
Sorry, the code has been remove for privacy reason. I can email you my code personally if you are willing to take a look. Thanks in advance.

The question "Is Functional GUI programming possible?" was asked three years ago, a lot has changed since then. Things like the RX framework must have changed the way functional GUI programming can be done (in .NET at least). Clearly it is possible to do functional GUI programming; what would be the current best practice for it?
Edit to address the On Hold status:
What are the ways that you can do GUI programming in F#? Particularly are there any new approaches that did not exist when the question "Is Functional GUI programming possible?" was asked. What have been peoples experiences with these approaches? Positive and negative. Examples of what works and what doesn't would be great.
maybe check into FsXaml and FsViewModule and watch the related video presentation from Reed Copsey

This is a trivial question - but something I always miss in the day-to-day programming.
Is there a gook lookup reference available for the common algorithms that we usually face in our everyday programming - sorting,sequences,graphs.
The emphasis is more on the applicability and pseudocode ,rather than the mathematical proofs(which I find is what books tend to stress on).
The idea is to keep a ready reference,as and when we need to resort to one of these algorithms into our respective development project and languages.
