    Was hat das mit dir zu tun? Das hat nichts mit dir zu tun. Das geht dich nichts an! - These are quite common expressions in everyday German. However, everything depends on context. Please give examples of concrete situations where you want to use such sentences.

    PS Please be aware that Was hat das mit dir zu tun has quite a different meaning and usage than Das geht dich nichts an. I don't know if your English phrases are pragmatic synonyms. The German phrases are not! A rough synonym of Das geht dich nichts an would be Was hast du damit zu tun!

The protypic way to express this is




Das geht dich nichts an.




Besides that, there are a lot of other ways to express this:




Warum mischst du dich hier ein?



Warum hängst du dich hier rein?



Misch dich nicht in fremde Angelegenheiten.



Misch dich nicht in Sachen, die dich nichts angehen.



Was hast du damit zu schaffen?



Was geht dich das an?




rather informal:




Das ist nicht dein Tanzbereich. (literal translation: That's not your dancing area.)



Kümmer dich um deinen eignen Kram.




informal / angry:




Kümmer dich um deinen eignen Scheiß.



(from comment, credits to Christian Geiselmann) Halt du dich da raus!




rather old:




Was kümmert's dich?



Was schert's dich?




a proverb goes like:




Ein jeder kehre vor seiner eigenen Tür.

count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
