What does the word "literal" mean when used in context such as literal strings and literal values? what is the difference between a literal value and value?
/* in this slice of code I get an output of
bbb 55 66 77 88
aaa
the output I expect and want is
bbb 55 66 77 88
bbb
because I reassign ss from log[0] to log[1]
So my question is why is the output different from what I expect and how do I
change it to what I want?
*/
int w,x,y,z;
stringstream ss (stringstream::in | stringstream::out);
string word;
string log[2];
log[0]="aaa 11 22 33 44";
log[1]="bbb 55 66 77 88";
ss<<log[0];
ss>>word;
int k=0;
ss>>w>>x>>y>>z;
k++;
ss<<log[k];
cout<<log[k]<<endl;
ss>>word;
cout<<word<<endl;
return 0;
During Flex programming, I recently ran into several questions (about box models, ways to join lines and misaligning pixels [on doctype]) regarding computer graphics and layout, where I felt that I lacked some basic background on things like
concepts like the box model
approaches mapping real numbers to a pixel raster (like font anti-aliasing)
conventions found across drawing engines, like do you count y coordinates from top or bottom, and why
I feel that reading some basic Wikipedia articles, books or tutorials on these subjects might help in phrasing my questions more specifically and debugging my code more systematically. I have repeatedly found myself writing tiny test apps in Flex, just to find out how the APIs do very basic stuff. My assumption would be that if I knew the right vocabulary and some general concepts, I could solve these questions much faster.
There's a few mentions of Javascript newbies getting starting by checking out some of Douglas Crockford's work (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11246/best-resources-to-learn-javascript), but none of his resources seem to be for those looking to learn from the ground up.
Are there any suggestions for complete beginners regarding how best to learn JavaScript?
Personally I have plenty of HTML and CSS experience, and some PHP (which would help learning JS), but for those that don't know any programming language what would you recommend?
I have wanted to learn VB and VBA for a long time. My school offers a coarse, but it doesn't fit with the rest of my schedule. It will be my first programing language. I was considering using the textbook my school uses (An introduction to programing using visual basic 2008, but I wold get the 2010 version), but I was wondering if there were better resources I could use. I mainly want to lean to learn VBA so I cam create macros and other tools for MS Word. Please understand that this is the fist time I will be programming and I am teaching myself (with the books/online resources).
I'm trying to do something like this:
private class aClass
{
private ArrayList<String> idProd;
aClass(ArrayList<String> prd)
{
this.idProd=new ArrayList<String>(prd);
}
public ArrayList<String> getIdProd()
{
return this.idProd;
}
}
So if I have multiple instances of ArrayLIst<String> (st1 ,st2 ,st3) and I want to make new objects of aClass:
{
aClass obj1,obj2,obj3;
obj1=new aClass(st1);
obj2=new aClass(st2);
obj3=new aClass(st3);
}
Will all of the aClass objects return st3 if I access the method getIdProd() for each of them(obj1..obj3)? Is an ArrayList as an instance variable automatically declared static?
I'm coming from an XHTML/CSS background. I don't know much about JavaScript. Would you recommend learning JavaScript before learning a server programming language?
New guy here. I asked a while back about a sprite recolouring program that I was having difficulty with and got some great responses. Basically, I tried to write a program that would recolour pixels of all the pictures in a given folder from one given colour to another.
I believe I have it down, but, now the program is telling me that I have an invalid value specified for the red component of my colour. (ValueError: Invalid red value specified.), even though it's only being changed from 64 to 56. Any help on the matter would be appreciated!
(Here's the code, in case I messed up somewhere else; It's in Python):
import os
import media
import sys
def recolour(old, new, folder):
old_list = old.split(' ')
new_list = new.split(' ')
folder_location = os.path.join('C:\', 'Users', 'Owner', 'Spriting', folder)
for filename in os.listdir (folder):
current_file = media.load_picture(folder_location + '\\' + filename)
for pix in current_file:
if (media.get_red(pix) == int(old_list[0])) and \
(media.get_green(pix) == int(old_list[1])) and \
(media.get_blue(pix) == int(old_list[2])):
media.set_red(pix, new_list[0])
media.set_green(pix, new_list[1])
media.set_blue(pix, new_list[2])
media.save(pic)
if name == 'main':
while 1:
old = str(raw_input('Please insert the original RGB component, separated by a single space: '))
if old == 'quit':
sys.exit(0)
new = str(raw_input('Please insert the new RGB component, separated by a single space: '))
if new == 'quit':
sys.exit(0)
folder = str(raw_input('Please insert the name of the folder you wish to modify: '))
if folder == 'quit':
sys.exit(0)
else:
recolour(old, new, folder)
I need my program to create and edit a config file, which would contain information about set of objects, and than read it at every execution. Is there some sort of guideline for config style that i can use?
I've made a page that uses jQuery to allow you to place <div>s on the page based on your mouse coordinates when you click.
The page
And here's the javascript:
$('document').ready(function() {
$("#canvas").click(function(e){
var x = e.pageX - this.offsetLeft;
var y = e.pageY - this.offsetTop;
$(document.createElement('div')).css({'left':x + 'px', 'top':y + 'px'}).addClass('tile').appendTo('#canvas');
});
});
I've found that if you mousedown in the div#canvas and mouseup with your pointer over a placed <div> (or vice versa) then a new <div> doesn't get placed. Why is this?
I would like the SO community let me know what does juniors and proficient .NET Developers should know regarding the following subjects, also some code examples or brainteasers like the ones here will help a lot.
System Types
Collection and Generics
Configuration and Installation
Monitoring and Debugging
File I/O
Globalization
Hi stackoverflow,
I apologize in advance for the possible stupidity of this question. However, the following has been the source of some confusion for me and I know the people here will be able to handily clear up the confusion for me. Basically, I would like to finally understand the relationship between any and all of the following terms. Some of the terms I do actually understand pretty well, but some of them are similar in my mind and I would like to once and for all to see their relationships/distinctions laid out all at once. They are:
compiler
interpreter
bytecode
machine code
assembler
assembly language
binary
object code
executable
Ideally, an answer would use examples from Java and C++ and other well-known programming languages that a young-ish student like me would be familiar with. Also, if you want to throw in any other useful terms that would be fine too :)
I want to filter some reserved word on my title form.
$adtitle = sanitize($_POST['title']);
$ignore = array('sale','buy','rent');
if(in_array($adtitle, $ignore)) {
$_SESSION['ignore_error'] = '<strong>'.$adtitle.'</strong> cannot be use as your title';
header('Location:/submit/');
exit;
How to make something like this. If
user type Car for sale the sale
will detected as reserved keyword.
Now my current code only detect single keyword only.
I have the follwing C function. How should I wrap it so it can be called from a Lua script?
typedef struct tagT{
int a ;
int b ;
} type_t;
int lib_a_f_4(type_t *t)
{
return t->a * t->b ;
}
I know how to wrapr it if the function parameter type were int or char *. Should I use table type for a C structure?
EDIT: I am using SWIG for the wraping , according to this doc, It seems that I should automatically have this funtion new_type_t(2,3) , but it is not the case.
If you wrap a C structure, it is also
mapped to a Lua userdata. By adding a
metatable to the userdata, this
provides a very natural interface. For
example,
struct Point{ int x,y; };
is used as follows:
p=example.new_Point()
p.x=3
p.y=5
print(p.x,p.y) 3 5
Similar access is provided for unions
and the data members of C++ classes. C
structures are created using a
function new_Point(), but for C++
classes are created using just the
name Point().
I have an array like this:
int a[100];
I am filling only the first 4 elements in this array:
a[0] = 1;
a[1] = 2;
a[2] = 3;
a[3] = 4;
When I do sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]) it returns 100.
Is there a way I can get number of elements to which I have assinged a value and thus filtering out the remaining 96 unassigned elements?
thanks
I'm attempting to create an NSArray with a grouping of string literals, however I get the compile error "Initializer element is not constant".
NSArray *currencies = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Dollar", @"Euro", @"Pound", nil];
Could someone point out what I'm doing wrong, and possibly explain the error message?
I am adapting the Coverflow technique to work with a div. The coverflow function (included as a js file in the head section) is here. When I dynamically add a DIV, it doesn't show up in the coverflow. I am wondering if there is a way to add a destroy function to this js file so that whenever a new div add is added, I can call the destroy method and then reinstantiate. Any suggestions on how I should go about doing this?
Reading the changes in Python 3.1, I found something... unexpected:
The sys.version_info tuple is now a named tuple:
I never heard about named tuples before, and I thought elements could either be indexed by numbers (like in tuples and lists) or by keys (like in dicts). I never expected they could be indexed both ways.
Thus, my questions are:
What are named tuples?
How to use them?
Why/when should I use named tuples instead of normal tuples?
Why/when should I use normal tuples instead of named tuples?
Is there any kind of "named list" (a mutable version of the named tuple)?
Hey I'm wondering how i can get this code to work, basically i want to keep the lines of $filename as long as they contain the $user in the path. Sry, perl noob.
open STDERR, ">/dev/null";
$filename=`find -H /home | grep $file`;
@filenames = split(/\n/, $filename);
for $i (@filenames) {
if ($i =~ m/$user/) {
#keep results
} else {
delete $i; # does not work.
}
}
$filename = join ("\n", @filenames);
close STDERR;
I know you can delete like delete $array[index] but I don't have an index with this kind of loop that I know of.
