Building a Digital Queue Announcer with C# WinForms and Text-to-Speech

System Architecture The solution employs a producer-consumer architecture to decouple the graphical interface from background audio processing. User inputs populate a thread-safe buffer, which is continuously monitored by a dedicated worker task. Once a ticket number is retrieved from the buffer, th...

Efficiently Counting Inversion Pairs in Stock Records Using Merge Sort

Problem Definition Given an array of stock prices representing daily records, an inversion pair is defined as a tuple $(i, j)$ where $i < j$ and $record[i] > record[j]$. The objective is to calculate the total count of such pairs within the input array. For instance, given the input [9, 7, 5, 4, 6],...
