Maybe you get a better understanding if you remember the automata generating these languages. Regular languages are generated by regular automata. They have only have a finit knowledge of the past (their compute memory has limits) so everytime you have a language with suffixes depending on prefixes (palindrome language) this can not be done with … Read more
You only need to specify semicolons in cases where it is ambiguous to the compiler what you are trying to do, and the absence of a semicolon would result in an obvious compiler error. The rule is: Don’t worry about this and don’t use semicolons at all (other than the two cases below). The compiler … Read more
Castle Windsor uses the term “transient” to describe all non-Singleton objects. I personally prefer the term “non-Singleton” though.
Yes, it does. The grammar is described in detail throughout the standard and is summarized in Appendix A: Grammar Summary (it’s Appendix A in both the C++03 standard and the C++0x final committee draft). You can purchase the C++03 standard or you can download the C++0x FCD (it’s document n3092 on that page). To answer … Read more
If you download just the database files from wordnet.princeton.edu/download/current-version you can extract the words by running these commands: egrep -o “^[0-9]{8}\s[0-9]{2}\s[a-z]\s[0-9]{2}\s[a-zA-Z_]*\s” data.adj | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f 5 > conv.data.adj egrep -o “^[0-9]{8}\s[0-9]{2}\s[a-z]\s[0-9]{2}\s[a-zA-Z_]*\s” data.adv | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f 5 > conv.data.adv egrep -o “^[0-9]{8}\s[0-9]{2}\s[a-z]\s[0-9]{2}\s[a-zA-Z_]*\s” data.noun | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f 5 … Read more
I highly recommend correcting all instances of this warning in code of any importance. This warning was created (by me actually) to alert you to situations like the following: shiftExpr : ID ((‘<<‘ | ‘>>’) ID)?; Since ANTLR 4 encourages action code be written in separate files in the target language instead of embedding them … Read more
It sounds like there are two things you want to do here: use good grammar but also use the literal, verbatim names of your classes so that users of your javadoc may look them up. One thing you can do when working with plurals is use the phrase “X instances”. So using your example, you … Read more
@ is not a valid character for a javascript identifier. Identifiers may only contain $, _, digits and letters. In coffeescript, @ means this. CoffeeScript has a few nice features related to the this keyword. First, CoffeeScript uses the @ symbol as shorthand for this.. For example, @foo is equivalent to this.foo. Second, if you … Read more
