Using the syntax that you used, int array[100] = {-1}; says “set the first element to -1 and the rest to 0” since all omitted elements are set to 0. In C++, to set them all to -1, you can use something like std::fill_n (from <algorithm>): std::fill_n(array, 100, -1); In portable C, you have to … Read more
{{ }} tells the template to print the value, this won’t work in expressions like you’re trying to do. Instead, use the {% set %} template tag and then assign the value the same way you would in normal python code. {% set testing = ‘it worked’ %} {% set another = testing %} {{ … Read more
One way is: application arg0 arg1 > temp.txt set /p VAR=<temp.txt Another is: for /f %%i in (‘application arg0 arg1’) do set VAR=%%i Note that the first % in %%i is used to escape the % after it and is needed when using the above code in a batch file rather than on the command … Read more
Why not just do this: var = None Python is dynamic, so you don’t need to declare things; they exist automatically in the first scope where they’re assigned. So, all you need is a regular old assignment statement as above. This is nice, because you’ll never end up with an uninitialized variable. But be careful … Read more
It actually is possible to do what you want, but you have to use the functional form of the indexing operator. When you perform an indexing operation using (), you are actually making a call to the subsref function. So, even though you can’t do this: value = magic(5)(3, 3); You can do this: value … Read more
See short-circuit evaluation for the explanation. It’s a common way of implementing these operators; it is not unique to JavaScript.
Note: Originally I posted C# code in this answer for purposes of illustration, since C# allows you to pass int parameters by reference with the ref keyword. I’ve decided to update it with actual legal Java code using the first MutableInt class I found on Google to sort of approximate what ref does in C#. … Read more
You cannot have spaces around the = sign. When you write: STR = “foo” bash tries to run a command named STR with 2 arguments (the strings = and foo) When you write: STR =foo bash tries to run a command named STR with 1 argument (the string =foo) When you write: STR= foo bash … Read more
As always with these questions, the JLS holds the answer. In this case §15.26.2 Compound Assignment Operators. An extract: A compound assignment expression of the form E1 op= E2 is equivalent to E1 = (T)((E1) op (E2)), where T is the type of E1, except that E1 is evaluated only once. An example cited from §15.26.2 […] the following code is … Read more
