  • How can I pad part of a string with spaces, in Perl?

    - by sid_com
    Hello! Which version would you prefer? #!/usr/bin/env perl use warnings; use strict; use 5.010; my $p = 7; # 33 my $prompt = ' : '; my $key = 'very important text'; my $value = 'Hello, World!'; my $length = length $key . $prompt; $p -= $length; Option 1: $key = $key . ' ' x $p . $prompt; Option 2: if ( $p > 0 ) { $key = $key . ' ' x $p . $prompt; } else { $key = $key . $prompt; } say "$key$value"

  • When to Use Properties & When to Use Methods?

    - by DaveDev
    Hi Guys I was looking at the following line of code foreach (PropertyInfo prop in t.GetProperties()) and I noticed that tprovides a method to return the type's properties instead of a property like t.Properties This makes me wonder why sometimes people use properties to make a type's data avilable and other times there's a method provided? Is there some logic behind the decision? Thanks Dave

  • Should I use an interface or factory (and interface) for a cross-platform implementation?

    - by nbolton
    Example A: // pseudo code interface IFoo { void bar(); } class FooPlatformA : IFoo { void bar() { /* ... */ } } class FooPlatformB : IFoo { void bar() { /* ... */ } } class Foo : IFoo { IFoo m_foo; public Foo() { if (detectPlatformA()} { m_foo = new FooPlatformA(); } else { m_foo = new FooPlatformB(); } } // wrapper function - downside is we'd have to create one // of these for each function, which doesn't seem right. void bar() { m_foo.bar(); } } Main() { Foo foo = new Foo(); foo.bar(); } Example B: // pseudo code interface IFoo { void bar(); } class FooPlatformA : IFoo { void bar() { /* ... */ } } class FooPlatformB : IFoo { void bar() { /* ... */ } } class FooFactory { IFoo newFoo() { if (detectPlatformA()} { return new FooPlatformA(); } else { return new FooPlatformB(); } } } Main() { FooFactory factory = new FooFactory(); IFoo foo = factory.newFoo(); foo.bar(); } Which is the better option, example A, B, neither, or "it depends"?

  • Do we still need backup code for people who have javascript disabled?

    - by SLC
    I hear about it a bit in tutorials that I watch, that certain things won't work if javascript is disabled. Occasionally I see workarounds. The question is, are these relevent? I can't imagine anyone not having a javascript enabled browser nowadays, except the most ancient of phones, and chances are your page won't render on them properly anyway. Do people still bother to write backup code for javascript being disabled?

  • Is it wrong for a context (right click) menu be the only way a user can perform a certain task?

    - by Eric
    I'd like to know if it ever makes sense to provide some functionality in a piece of software that is only available to the user through a context (right click) menu. It seems that in most software I've worked with the right click menu is always used as a quick way to get to features that are otherwise available from other buttons or menus. Below is a screen shot of the UI I'm developing. The tree view on the right shows the user's library of catalogs. Users can create new catalogs, or add and remove existing catalogs to and from their library. Catalogs in their library can then be opened or closed, or set to read-only. The screen shot shows the context menu I've created for the browser. Some commands can be executed independently from any specific catalog (New, Add). Yet the other commands must be applied to a specifically selected catalog (Close, Open, Remove, ReadOnly, Refresh, Clean UP, Rename). Currently the "Catalog" menu at the top of the window looks identical to this context menu. Yet I think this may be confusing to the users as the tree view which shows the currently selected catalog may not always be visible. The user may have switched to the Search or Filters tab, or the left pane may be hidden entirely. However, I'm hesitant to change the UI so that the commands that depends on a specifically selected catalog are only available through the context menu.

  • Private vs. Public members in practice (how important is encapsulation?)

    - by Asmor
    One of the biggest advantages of object-oriented programming is encapsulation, and one of the "truths" we've (or, at least, I've) been taught is that members should always be made private and made available via accessor and mutator methods, thus ensuring the ability to verify and validate the changes. I'm curious, though, how important this really is in practice. In particular, if you've got a more complicated member (such as a collection), it can be very tempting to just make it public rather than make a bunch of methods to get the collection's keys, add/remove items from the collection, etc. Do you follow the rule in general? Does your answer change depending on whether it's code written for yourself vs. to be used by others? Are there more subtle reasons I'm missing for this obfuscation?

  • Which function should i use for testin if a var isset or not?

    - by streetparade
    I'm sometimes confused to using which one of them, say i have a function called getmember($id) function getmember($id) { // now this is the confusing part // how do i test if a $id was set or not set? //solution 1 if(empty($id)) { return false; } // solution 2 if(isset($id)) { return false; } } Thats sometimes not clear tome some times if a parameter in a function is set like function($var="") Then i do if($var ==="") { return false; } What should i use the next time isset ? emtyp ? or ===''

  • Correct usage(s) of const_cast<>

    - by ereOn
    Hi, As a common rule, it is very often considered a bad practice to use const_cast<>() in C++ code as it reveals (most of the time) a flaw in the design. While I totally agree with this, I however wonder what are the cases were using const_cast<>() is ok and the only solution. Could you guys please give me some examples you know/you encountered ? Thank you very much.

  • How much slower is a try/catch block? [closed]

    - by Euclid
    Possible Duplicate: What is the real overhead of try/catch in C#? how much slower is a try catch block than a conditional? eg try { v = someArray[10]; } catch { v = defaultValue; } or if (null != someArray) { v = someArray[10]; } else { v = defaultValue; } is there much in it or isn't there a definative performance differance?

  • Successive success checks

    - by Stockhausen
    Most of you have probably bumped into a situation, where multiple things must be in check and in certain order before the application can proceed, for example in a very simple case of creating a listening socket (socket, bind, listen, accept etc.). There are at least two obvious ways (don't take this 100% verbatim): if (1st_ok) { if (2nd_ok) { ... or if (!1st_ok) { return; } if (!2nd_ok) { return; } ... Have you ever though of anything smarter, do you prefer one over the other of the above, or do you (if the language provides for it) use exceptions?

  • Shoud a method that waits for a change of state be const?

    - by Space_C0wb0y
    In a multithreaded scenario, I have a method like this: bool WaitForChange( time_duration WaitTime ) const; This method waits either until the state of the object has changed and returns true, or until the timeout times out (how do you say that?) and returns false. My intuition is, that const is to protect against unwanted side-effects of the method itself, so this is fine. But then again, some user might think that the state of the could not have changed, since the method is declared const. Is that user stupid, or should I make the method non-const in order to avoid confusion?

  • Timer (NSTimer) won't work...why?

    - by eco_bach
    Hi I have the following, can anyone familiar with NSTimer tell me why it isn't working?? I've tried various values for an interval but no luck. self.timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:.5 target:self selector:@selector(update:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES]; And then my selector method - (void)update:(NSTimer*)timer { //DOESN"T TRACE OUT! NSLog(@" update:theTimer and userInfo = %@",timer.userInfo); }

  • Quick C Style Question

    - by LearningC
    Which is considered better style? int set_int(int *source){ *source = 5; return 0; } int main(){ int x*; set_int(x); } OR int *set_int(){ int *temp = NULL; temp = malloc(sizeof (int)); *temp = 5; return temp; } int main(){ int *x = set_int(); } Coming for a higher level programming background I gotta say I like the second version more. Any, tips would be very helpful. Still learning C.

    - by xbsxbs
    I have to write a simple method extractArticle() that returns Article object which is extracted from Message object. I have MessageService and ArticleService classes intended to handle tasks like this. What service class is more correctly to use to incapsulate extractArticle() funcionality? $article = MessageService::extractArticle(Message $message); or $article = ArticleService::extractArticleFromMessage(Message $message);

  • Does migrating a site that is 99% several megs of static HTML from Apache to Google App Enging make

    - by JonathanHayward
    I have a large site of mostly static content, and I have entertained migrating to Google App Engine. I am wondering, not so much if it is possible as whether that is cutting a steak with a screwdriver. I see a way to do it in Django that has a bad design smell. Does migrating a literature site that is largely static HTML from Apache to Google App Engine make sense? I'm not specifically asking for a comparison to Nginx or Cherokee; I am interested in whether migrating from a traditional web hosting solution to a more cloudy type of solution recommends itself. The site is JonathansCorner.com, and is presently unavailable ("the magic blue smoke has escaped").

  • Logging Application Block
