I have always been skeptical of rewriting working code - porting code is no exception to this. However, with the advent of TDD and automated testing it is much more reasonable to rewrite and refactor code.
Does anyone know if there is a TDD tool that can be used for porting old code? Ideally you…

This is very basic question from programming point of view but as I am in learning phase, I thought I would better ask this question rather than having a misunderstanding or narrow knowledge about the topic.
So do excuse me if somehow I mess it up.
Question:

Is there an accepted general term that subsumes the concepts of variables, class instances and arrays? Basically "any typed thing that needs memory". In C++, such a thing is called an object, but I'm looking for a more language-agnostic term.

Hi. I was looking at the IL code of a valid method with Reflector and I've run into this:

Hello,
I have a question about the primitive type 'short' in Java. I am using JDK 1.6.
If I have the following:
short a = 2;
short b = 3;
short c = a + b;
the compiler does not want to compile - it says that it "cannot convert from int to short" and suggests that I make a cast to short, so…
