In a sense, yes, implicits represent global state. However, they are not mutable, which is the true problem with global variables — you don’t see people complaining about global constants, do you? In fact, coding standards usually dictate that you transform any constants in your code into constants or enums, which are usually global. Note … Read more
try { Intent intent = new Intent(“com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN”); intent.putExtra(“SCAN_MODE”, “QR_CODE_MODE”); // “PRODUCT_MODE for bar codes startActivityForResult(intent, 0); } catch (Exception e) { Uri marketUri = Uri.parse(“market://details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android”); Intent marketIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,marketUri); startActivity(marketIntent); } and in onActivityResult(): @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); if (requestCode == 0) { if (resultCode … Read more
The implicit and explicit keywords in C# are used when declaring conversion operators. Let’s say that you have the following class: public class Role { public string Name { get; set; } } If you want to create a new Role and assign a Name to it, you will typically do it like this: Role … Read more
There is a solution. Consider the following: public sealed class AccountStatus { public static readonly AccountStatus Open = new AccountStatus(1); public static readonly AccountStatus Closed = new AccountStatus(2); public static readonly SortedList<byte, AccountStatus> Values = new SortedList<byte, AccountStatus>(); private readonly byte Value; private AccountStatus(byte value) { this.Value = value; Values.Add(value, this); } public static implicit … Read more
In C++ operators (for POD types) always act on objects of the same type. Thus if they are not the same one will be promoted to match the other. The type of the result of the operation is the same as operands (after conversion). if: either is long double other is promoted > long double … Read more
