Ask him what will he do when he finds a bug in his code. How many places will he now need to fix it in? You can also show him the answers to this question (Why is “copy and paste” of code dangerous?).
You can’t include one module in another exactly, but you can tell a module to include other modules in the class into which it’s included: module Bmodule def greet puts ‘hello world’ end end module Amodule def self.included klass klass.class_eval do include Bmodule end end end class MyClass include Amodule end MyClass.new.greet # => hello … Read more
I had the same problem. Extracting styles is different in Android Studio: You don’t need to select text and choose Refactor->Extract->Style, just choose the menu option With no text selected. So, just click anywhere inside the ImageView element (Do not select any text). The refactor option should become available.
First, you are fortunate to have a boss who recognizes that code refactoring can be a long-term cost-saving strategy. I’ve done this many times, that is, converting old C code to C++. The benefits may surprise you. The final code may be half the original size when you’re done, and much simpler to read. Plus, … Read more
I’m sorry I gave the wrong answer before. I rechecked, and it didn’t do quite want you want. I did find a solution for you though, again, in 3.4. Highlight the class, do a copy CTRL-C or cut CTRL-X, click on the package you want the class do go into, and do a paste, CTRL-V. … Read more
#include <iostream> #include <limits> #include <tuple> int main() { auto step = std::numeric_limits<double>::infinity(); auto as = std::numeric_limits<int>::infinity(); std::tie(step, as) = std::tuple{ 0.1, 2 }; std::cout << step << “, ” << as << std::endl; }
It sounds like you completely missed the point of Crenshaw’s tutorials. LBC isn’t about writing pretty, clean, or efficient code. It’s all about bringing something that’s steeped in formal theory down to a level where the casual coder can easily and rapidly hack out a rudimentary (but working!) compiler. When I read through LBC years … Read more
It turns out the solution was simple, but frustrating. To do refactoring in VS Code (at least for python) you need to be in a workspace. I solved the problem by first closing the open folder I was in: File > Close Folder. then navigating to a sub folder of .py file I was editing, … Read more
Instead of assertions in the setup to check the result, I used a simple test (a test method along the others, but positionned as first test method). I have seen several advantages: The setup keeps short and focused, for readability. The assertions are run only once, which is more efficient. Usage and discussion : For … Read more
Legacy code is a big issue, and I’m sure people will not agree! I would say that starting a big re-factor could be a mistake. A big re-factor means doing a lot of work to make it function exactly the way that it does now. If you choose to take this on on your own, … Read more
