  • Why typedef char CHAR

    - by Knowing me knowing you
    Guys, having quick look in Winnt.h I have discovered that there is a lots of typedefs and one of them is for example CHAR for a char. Why? What was the purpose of these typdefs? Why not use what's already there (char, int etc.)? Thank you.

  • Why do condition variables sometimes erroneously wake up?

    - by aspo
    I've known for eons that the way you use a condition variable is lock while not task_done wait on condition variable unlock Because sometimes condition variables will spontaneously wake. But I've never understood why that's the case. In the past I've read it's expensive to make a condition variable that doesn't have that behavior, but nothing more than that. So... why do you need to worry about falsely being woken up when waiting on a condition variable?

  • Why can't I multiply a float?

    - by Dpp
    I was quite surprised why I tried to multiply a float in C (with GCC 3.2) and that it did not do as I expected.. As a sample: int main() { float nb = 3.11f; nb *= 10; printf("%f\n", nb); } Displays: 31.099998 I am curious regarding the way floats are implemented and why it produces this unexpected behavior?

  • Why would var be a bad thing?

    - by Spoike
    I've been chatting with my colleagues the other day and heard that their coding standard explicitly forbids them to use the var keyword in C#. They had no idea why it was so and I've always found implicit declaration to be incredibly useful when coding. I've never had any problems finding out what type the variable was (you only hover over the variable in VS and you'll get the type that way). Does anyone know why it would be a bad idea to use the var keyword in C#?

  • Why are joins bad when considering scalability?

    - by acidzombie24
    Why are joins bad or 'slow'. I know i heard this more then once. I found this quote The problem is joins are relatively slow, especially over very large data sets, and if they are slow your website is slow. It takes a long time to get all those separate bits of information off disk and put them all together again. source I always thought they were fast especially when looking up a PK. Why are they 'slow'?

  • Why is C# statically typed?

    - by terrani
    I am a PHP web programmer who is trying to learn C#. I would like to know why C# requires me to specify the data type when creating a variable. Class classInstance = new Class(); Why do we need to know the data type before a class instance?

    - by eugenn
    I'm trying to create a very simple relationship between two objects.

  • Why JEE is widely used in complicated projects?

    - by cane
    Hi. Yesterday me and my friend we've had nice conversation about IT and he asked me WHY JEE is so widely used when it comes to build complicated IT systems? From my point of view advantages are easily visible, but he is IT manager with a lot of Micro$oft experience (and little Java exp.), so I would like to hear your voice. And I'll give him a link of course. I don't want new .NET - JAVA war - just - why JEE :) Thanks, orsonek

  • why is optional chaining required in an if let statement

    - by b-ryan ca
    Why would the Swift compiler expect me to write if let addressNumber = paul.residence?.address?.buildingNumber?.toInt() { } instead of just writing: if let addressNumber = paul.residence.address.buildingNumber.toInt() { } The compiler clearly has the static type information to handle the conditional statement for the first dereference of the optional value and each following value. Why would it not continue to do so for the following statements?

  • Why did you decide "against" using Erlang?

    - by Zubair
    Have you actually "tried" (means programmed in, not just read an article on it) Erlang and decided against it for a project? If so, why? Also, if you have opted to go back to your old language, or to use another functional language like F#, Haskell, Clojure, Scala, or something else then this counts too, and state why.

  • Why is C++ backward compatible with C ? Why isn't there some "pure" C++ language ?

    - by gokoon
    C and C++ are different languages, blababla we know that. But if those language are different, why is it still possible to use function like malloc or free ? I'm sure there are all sort of dusty things C++ has because of C, but since C++ is another language, why not remove those things to make it a little less bloat and more clean and clear ? Is it because it allows programmers to work without the OO model or because some compilers doesn't support high-level abstract features of C++ ?

  • Why would restarting MySQL make my site faster?

    - by beagleguy
    hey all, my site started dragging lately, the queries taking exceptionally longer than I would expect with properly tuned indexes. I just restarted the mysql server after 31 days uptime and every query is now substantially faster and the whole site renders 3-4 times faster. Would there be anything that jumps out at you as to why this may have been? Improper settings on my.cnf perhaps? Any ideas as to what I can start looking at to try and pinpoint why? thanks

  • Why was this T-SQL Syntax never implemented?

    - by ChrisA
    Why did they never let us do this sort of thing: Create Proc RunParameterisedSelect @tableName varchar(100), @columnName varchar(100), @value varchar(100) as select * from @tableName where @columnName = @value You can use @value as a parameter, obviously, and you can achieve the whole thing with dynamic SQL, but creating it is invariably a pain. So why didn't they make it part of the language in some way, rather than forcing you to EXEC(@sql)?

  • Why doesn't Java warn about a == "something"?

    - by Marius
    This might sound stupid, but why doesn't the Java compiler warn about the expression in the following if statement: String a = "something"; if(a == "something"){ System.out.println("a is equal to something"); }else{ System.out.println("a is not equal to something"); } I realize why the expression is untrue, but AFAIK, a can never be equal to the String literal "something". The compiler should realize this and at least warn me that I'm an idiot who is coding way to late at night.

  • Why should i learn C++.

    - by Babiker
    Everyone has been telling me to learn C++. Without bashing languages right and left, can someone please state some relevant reasons as to why I should learn C++ today? Note that in no way am I saying anything harsh about C++. I just want to know why I should master it as a programmer instead of the other powerful languages out there.

  • Why is there the need for browser resets?

    - by viatropos
    Okay that's probably not the best title, I know why we need browser resets: because browsers have different defaults set. My question that was too long to put into a title is: If everyone needs to use a reset stylesheet 90% of the time, why do browsers need to set default styles? We're just going to remove them anyways, right?
