I usually ask myself: What is this method doing? The answer dictates what the method should be called. It is completely independent of the programmer, of course. Note: If you can’t succinctly describe what the method is doing, it’s probably doing too much and should be split up. Choosing your method’s verb: Performing calculation(s): calculate … Read more
From here, a static call is 4 to 5 times faster than constructing an instance every time you call an instance method. However, we’re still only talking about tens of nanoseconds per call, so you’re unlikely to notice any benefit unless you have really tight loops calling a method millions of times, and you could … Read more
java.lang.Object has no a methods declared (2), while the anonymous class returned by the class instance creation expression new Object() { public void a() {} } does (1). Use Java 10’s local variable type inference (var) to make the second option as valid as the first one. var object = new Object() { public void … Read more
No, the way you would normally do this is overload the method like so: public void test() { test(“exampleText”); } public void test(String name) { }
Class attributes are accessible through the class: YourClass.clsattribute or through the instance (if the instance has not overwritten the class attribute): instance.clsattribute Methods, as stated by ecatmur in his answer, are descriptors and are set as class attributes. If you access a method through the instance, then the instance is passed as the self parameter … Read more
The premain is a mechanism associated with the java.lang.instrument package, used for loading “Agents” which make byte-code changes in Java programs. The mechanism is explained in the java.lang.instrument documentation. The gist of it is that the “agent” is deployed in a jar, and that jar has a special entry in its manifest, that tells the … Read more
In your method implementation PerspectiveCommands is not the enum but your type parameter, which often is called T. It thus shadows the enum of the same name like axtavt already said, thus PERSPECTIVE is unknown here. Your abstract method declaration is fine but you might use a slightly different approach. public void test(PerspectiveCommands command) would … Read more
type (default: ‘GET’) Type: String An alias for method. You should use type if you’re using versions of jQuery prior to 1.9.0. jQuery.ajax()
inspect.ismethod is what you want to find out if you definitely have a method, rather than just something you can call. import inspect def foo(): pass class Test(object): def method(self): pass print inspect.ismethod(foo) # False print inspect.ismethod(Test) # False print inspect.ismethod(Test.method) # True print inspect.ismethod(Test().method) # True print callable(foo) # True print callable(Test) # True … Read more
Whenever you look up a method via instance.name (and in Python 2, class.name), the method object is created a-new. Python uses the descriptor protocol to wrap the function in a method object each time. So, when you look up id(C.foo), a new method object is created, you retrieve its id (a memory address), then discard … Read more
