The courtyard rang to the song of swords. Under black wool, boiled leather, and mail, sweat trickled icily down Jon’s chest as he pressed the attack. Grenn stumbled backward, defending himself clumsily. When he raised his sword, Jon went underneath i…

Jon climbed the steps slowly, trying not to think that this might be the last time ever. Ghost padded silently beside him. Outside, snow swirled through the castle gates, and the yard was all noise and chaos, but inside the thick stone walls it was s…

There were times—not many, but a few—when Jon Snow was glad he was a bastard. As he filled his wine cup once more from a passing flagon(['flægən]酒壶), it struck him that this might be one of them. He settled back in his place on the bench among the yo…

The visitors poured(倾泻:流出) through the castle gates in a river of gold and silver and polished steel, three hundred strong, a pride(自豪:骄傲) of bannermen and knights, of sworn swords and freeriders. Over their heads a dozen golden banners whipped(受到鞭打的…

二分查找实现(Jon Bentley:90%程序员无法正确实现)作者:July出处:结构之法算法之道引言Jon Bentley:90%以上的程序员无法正确无误的写出二分查找代码.也许很多人都早已听说过这句话,但我还是想引用<编程珠玑>上的如下几段文字:“二分查找可以解决(预排序数组的查找)问题:只要数组中包含T(即要查找的值),那么通过不断缩小包含T 的范围,最终就可以找到它.一开始,范围覆盖整个数组.将数组的中间项与T 进行比较,可以排除一半元素,范围缩小一半.就这样反复比较,反复缩小范围,…

It seemed as though he had been falling for years. Fly, a voice whispered in the darkness, but Bran did not know how to fly, so all he could do was fall. Maester Luwin made a little boy of clay, baked him till he was hard and brittle, dressed him in…

Eddard Stark had left before dawn, Septa Mordane informed Sansa as they broke their fast. “The king sent for him. Another hunt, I do believe. There are still wild aurochs in these lands, I am told.” “I’ve never seen an aurochs,” Sansa said, feeding a…

The north went on forever. Tyrion Lannister knew the maps as well as anyone, but a fortnight on the wild track that passed for the kingsroad up here had brought him the lesson that the map was one thing and the land quite another. They had left Winte…

The summons(['sʌm(ə)nz]召唤:传票) came in the hour before the dawn, when the world was still and grey. Alyn shook him roughly from his dreams and Ned stumbled into the predawn chill, groggy(['grɒgɪ] 酒醉的,无力的) from sleep, to find his horse saddled and the…
