These languages do not support mutually recursive functions optimization 'natively', so I guess it must be trampoline or.. heh.. rewriting as a loop) Do I miss something?
UPDATE: It seems that I did lie about FSharp, but I just didn't see an example of mutual tail-calls while googling
It's possible to do interesting things with what would ordinarily be thought of as typesetting languages. For example, you can construct the Mandelbrot set using postscript.
It is suggested in this MathOverflow question that LaTeX may be Turing-complete. This implies the ability to write arbitrary programs (although it may not be easy!). Does anyone know of any concrete example of such a program in LaTeX, which does something highly unusual with the language?
Is it appropriate to use XML tags (element names) written in non-ASCII natural languages? The XML spec allows it (see Names and Exceptions), but I couldn't find any best practices about this at W3C and related pages.
What I'm looking for is practical advice regarding which tools support this, whether important XML-related technologies such as XSLT and XForms may have problems with it, etc.
I am applying for a job as java developer. I programmed some hobby apps in java until 2001, after that I have mostly worked in c++ and other languages. Meanwhile, it feels like java has grown a lot, and there are all kinds of acronyms (EJB, spring, etc) unknown to me.
Where can I find a concise, clear explanation of the recent (5 years) development of java? What are key elements to understand?
I'm installing sqlserver 2008 express and I have a couple of questions,
by default on the collation, it has SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS I'm just wondering which collation I should choose so that it can store all languages, English, Asian etc.
also this is a brand new installation on a brand new box, should I use Default Instance or a Named Instance.
Thank you,
Ray.
i use open-search server(http://www.open-search-server.com/) for indexing and searching. i am having problem in highlighting in other languages like hindi or example i searched for "??????" and it returned like
"...????? ...Tagalog...Türkçe...??????????...????????...?????...??????...????...Ti?ng Vi?t...??(??)?...??(??)?...???...???..."
see the "??????" is splighted and shown like this ??????.
is there any way to over come this or turn off this highlighted feature
Hi
I always asked myself if it would be possible to make a Java2C++ Converter.
Maybe a Tool that converts the Java Syntax to the C++ Syntax..
i am aware that the languages differ .. but simple things like loops where the semantic matches 1 on 1 ..
is there such a tool . or is it possible to make one ?
Lately I have been having my eye on evented I/O to tackle some of my web application problems. I have been looking at things as Python's Twisted, Ruby's Eventmachine, and Node.js.
Are there any other alternatives to these three, maybe in other languages as PHP ?
I'm a reasonably skilled programmer, and I'm interested in branching out into some new languages -- python, specifically -- but frankly I do NOT want to go through a tutorial that assumes I know nothing about programming. I want a tutorial -- again, preferably for python -- that assumes I'm just unfamiliar with the language itself and describes the ways I can use the language to solve problems.
Does such a beast exist? I mean, other than the Python wiki?
Hi
I have been trying to localize my iPhone app in two languages - english and german
I have created two folders en.lproj and de.lproj each containing Localizable.strings file for respective language. I have included these files in my resources folder, changed the encoding of these files to UTF-16.
I have tried cleaning the project and building it again, deleting folder at path: Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User
But the problem is still there. Anybody having an idea please help.
I am new the language and I need to know what are the top things that are absolutely necessary to know in order to make a fully functional website or web app using the Ruby programming language?
Mainly Ruby on Rails with Rake and other tools that mainly use Rake.
Update: I know many other languages like C++, Java, PHP, Perl, etc, etc ....
I'm wondering if it is possible to create a separate APK file which contains only language specific strings and somehow persuade my program to try to read the string resources first from that package's resource and then from the program's own resources... I would like to have a main program with 2-3 mayor laguages and the rest of the languages would go into a separate language pack. (This is to keep the main program size small as I have already 12 translations)
In a C# (feel free to answer for other languages) loop, what's the difference between break and continue as a means to leave the structure of the loop, and go to the next iteration?
Example:
foreach (DataRow row in myTable.Rows){ if (someConditionEvalsToTrue) { break; //what's the difference between this and continue ? //continue; }}
I am converting a PHP MySQL web application written for English language into a Multi-Language site. Do you know any vulnerabilities that affect web applications in another language? Or perhaps vulnerabilities that could be introduced in the conversion of code base to support multiple languages. (If you know any vulnerabilities of this type in another programming language I'll give you a +1)
I have a form which lets users input text snippets. So how can figure out the language of the entered text?
Specifically these languages for now:
Arabic: ??? ?? ??? ?????? ???????
Chinese: ?????????
Japanese: ?????????????????????
Even though we have languages like C++, Java, Python etc., why is COBOL still a preferred language in the business world?
EDIT:
Why was it so popular?
Sorry for not creating a separate thread for this question.
One of the downsides of web.config/app.config is that it's just Magic Strings everywhere, since it's just an XML file.
Interpreted languages like PHP or Ruby have the advantage that the configuration is just code that is executed. In .net, doing stuff in code requires a redeployment, which defeats the purpose.
Now, before I build my own web.config replacement based on Boo or PowerShell I wanted to know if there is an existing one?
Hi, I was just putting some thought into different languages (as I'm reviewing for final exams coming up) and I can not think of a valid pushdown automata to handle the language A = {0^n 1^n 0^n | n = 0}. This is not a context-free language, am I correct?
I'm currently investigating what the runtime of different programming languages looks like behind the scenes. For a compiled language like C, people usually give the explanation of "Code is compiled to assembly which is assembled and linked into a binary executable. The executable is then loaded into memory and the CPU interprets it." My question is how does the CPU know where to look for the next instruction to execute? Is it a memory address stored in one of the registers?
hi, simple question :
I need to write cross platform application (basically CRUD).
Is usage of Java Swing good idea? Or is it out-dated and you know better solution?
I dont want to use like 5 languages for various stuff, one or two should be enough.
Thanx!
Maybe it is not very thematic question in here, but I guess it will be interesting not only to me. I hope.
So, I just want to get some cool tasks to do using programming languages or just pen and sheet of paper. I guess it can lead to improving my ability to do better code (more optimal I mean.)
Do you know any websites where I can find it?
Thanks.
Hi All,
I am creating ASP.net mobile application i am targeting all the mobile devices Is this possible with the single application or not because some phones will support wml, HTML, CHTML or XML scripting languages. How can target all the devices with the single application & can i change the DeviceSpecific Filter option dynamically or not. If i change that dynamically is it reflect in the application?
Thanks
