Does the order of functions in a Python script matter?

The only thing that Python cares about is that the name is defined when it is actually looked up. That’s all. In your case, this is just fine, order doesn’t really matter since you are just defining two functions. That is, you are just introducing two new names, no look-ups. Now, if you called one … Read more

Why does “noreturn” function return?

The function specifiers in C are a hint to the compiler, the degree of acceptance is implementation defined. First of all, _Noreturn function specifier (or, noreturn, using <stdnoreturn.h>) is a hint to the compiler about a theoretical promise made by the programmer that this function will never return. Based on this promise, compiler can make … Read more

What is the difference between parent.frame() and parent.env() in R; how do they differ in call by reference?

parent.env is the environment in which a closure (e.g., function) is defined. parent.frame is the environment from which the closure was invoked. f = function() c(f=environment(), defined_in=parent.env(environment()), called_from=parent.frame()) g = function() c(g=environment(), f()) and then > g() $g <environment: 0x14060e8> $f <environment: 0x1405f28> $defined_in <environment: R_GlobalEnv> $called_from <environment: 0x14060e8> I’m not sure when a mere … Read more

Converting list to *args when calling function [duplicate]

You can use the * operator before an iterable to expand it within the function call. For example: timeseries_list = [timeseries1 timeseries2 …] r = scikits.timeseries.lib.reportlib.Report(*timeseries_list) (notice the * before timeseries_list) From the python documentation: If the syntax *expression appears in the function call, expression must evaluate to an iterable. Elements from this iterable are … Read more
