Algorithm keeps appearing on the last page of my latex document












3















I am writing an algorithm with the algorithmic environment and Latex keeps pushing it on the last page, no matter what I do, this is just a short example.



documentclass[a4paper,10pt, twoside]{book}

usepackage{algorithm}

usepackage{algorithmic}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}





begin{document}

begin{algorithm}[h]

caption{my algorithm}

label{alg:example}

begin{algorithmic}

STATE REQUIRE (F, G, j)

STATE (B_{1} = {b_{1}[1],dots,b_{1}[|g_r|]})

STATE (B_{1})

FOR{(i=1) TO (n)}

STATE DO smoething...

 STATE  

ENDFOR

ENDFOR

end{algorithmic}

end{algorithm}

 end{document}


The problem is that the algorithm is one page long, so I tried to put the h argument, and then after the algorithm a newpage, so that everything else comes after it. But still it just ignores all my command and puts in on the last page, no matter what I try :S

  • Ok sorry for putting an uncompilable code there, I just tried to copy as fast as possible a short example. my fault. Oh wow it worked... But isn't figure also an floating environment, because I-ve seen a lot of examples using the htb arguments for figures?

  • [h] tells latex the float isn't allowed at the top of a page (as no t) or bottom (no b) or on a page of floats (no p) which gives latex very few places to place it so holding it to the end is quite likely

Replace begin{algorithm}[h] by begin{algorithm}[H] in your code.



It would place the float precisely (instead of approximately) at the location in the LATEX code. See float specifiers.



Note that there are some drawbacks may appear when use [H] specifier Drawbacks of the [H] specifier. However, it works without any problems in my code (which is too long to attach here, according to the nature of the problem).



Alternatively, the specifier [!htbp] works also and without wasting any page area before the algorithm position.



Both specifiers works in my code without any errors.

    [!] will only work by coincident because ! is on it's own no valid option for the floating specifier and will issue a warning and be replaced with the default option !htbp

    Mar 29 at 19:03











  • According to this blog, it works on determining "good" float positions. It did not issue a warning in my code, and I searched for what is possible problems associated with [!] and did not find there would be any warning issues.

    – Mohamed Salama
    Mar 29 at 19:30











  • ! can only be used in combination with other floating specifier, such as h, t, b or p, not on its own. You'll get a warning with LaTeX Warning: No positions in optional float specifier. Default added (so using !htbp) on input line 8.

  • Yes, you are right. I just found this warning. However, the pdf is generated as required.

  • As the warning tells you, the missing arguments are replaced with the default ones, that's why the pdf is generated as it should. So instead of suggesting to use [!] in your answer, it might be better to suggest [!htbp] because this is the configuration which is actually used.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?
