What kind of matrix manipulation?
I should have been more precise. I meant 2D arrays.
An external image is loaded. The image is actually larger than the target, which is 16000px.
Image source = Image.FromFile(path, true); // large image
Bitmap img = new Bitmap(size, size, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb); // size = 16000
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(img);
g.DrawImage(source, [new dimmensions]); // MemoryI learned programming with no IDE (in Java) and it was fine, but messing around with the command line all the time does get tedious (especially on Windows, urgh) so an IDE makes your life a lot easier, click on the Run button and the code runs. Debugging from the command line is not a lot of fun either.
Sorry about that. I dramatically misunderstood your post and went off when I shouldn't have. Apologies. I definitely took your post to mean linux was everywhere in the sense that if you didn't know it, you weren't going to get a job, etc.
For indenting, correct. Using spaces for indenting makes zero sense. For aligning, only spaces make sense. But I hate aligning anyway so whatever.
I strongly disagree, for any reasonable definition of consistency.
This is an advantage, not a problem. It's the whole point! What if I use a font where spaces are really large? Why would I want 4 spaces as indents, when 2 looks better on my screen. You present this as a problem, but there's nothing wrong with it. I can view my text however I want. It doesn't affect anybody else.
If somebody indents with spaces and it messes things up because the rest of the team uses tabs, the problem is the person who committed a file that indented with spaces. Tabs aren't the problem. Anyway this would be caught by style cop, or when I loaded the file locally I would get a warning that somebody indented with the wrong character.
So was I. Obviously it doesn't matter which one you use, as long as a team is consistent about it. You should use whatever your team is already using when you join.
You have some pretty intense jokes usea lol.So was I. Obviously it doesn't matter which one you use, as long as a team is consistent about it. You should use whatever your team is already using when you join.
But that doesn't mean there are real benefits for using one over the other
Yeah Rust is not ready for prime time quite yet. It's on version 0.8, and the syntax is still changing a bit. Version 1.0 (which promises no more language changes, etc) is probably 6-9 months away.
I'll watch with interest, it looks closest to what I'm looking for.
OS X, but yeah, I'd be fine with using a VM for Rust. To be clear, though, it compiled fine--Rust's compiler crashed while trying to compile my program
I know. It looks like one of the better designed languages ever, although I'm sad that it looks like it categorically won't / can't be supporting TCO.
No side effects is fine, the problem is lack of library support unless you're doing math.
Yeah, I've looked at Scala in the past and I've gotten us to switch over at work where we were previously using Java. I can't get over the "functional Java" feeling, though, and as you said it is pretty object-oriented.
Not working on MS platforms at the moment. Clojure is a LISP dialect, right? I like LISP but I have trouble convincing other people to use it for large projects.
Never checked out Nemerle, I will. Thanks!
Heh, yeah, I'm well aware of that. I'm not looking for perfection--I tend to think the best languages are domain specific. But I am looking for a really good "go-to" language at the moment, which is why I asked. Thanks for all the suggestions--seems like you're fairly up to date on the available options.
You can declare a local variable as final, but it's rarely used:Yeah, I get where you're coming from. I'm writing a compiler right now so ML is a bit of a godsend, which led me to reevaluate some of this stuff--not that I was ever super enamored of OOP, but I'm starting to feel like it's actively getting in the way. I guess my question was more sort of born of frustration that I can't do the things I can in ML in almost any mainstream language, when it is precisely those things that I actually need. E.g., destructuring of objects via pattern matching--and I'm not just talking about the usual Java/C++ suspects here, even languages like Python and Ruby don't really support it well at all. And while mutable state is fine when efficiency is on the line, I *hate* how most nonfunctional modern languages assume it by default--hell, in some cases (Java) I can't even declare a local immutable, as far as I can tell. Anyway, this is starting to turn rantlike so I'll end this here
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final int t = 5;
t = 12; // Compiler error
}
}That only works with primitives. Otherwise, you can still modify all state associated with the variable. Contrast this with a const struct in C.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define NUM_WORDS 10
#define LENGTH 20
void sort(char words[][LENGTH], int num);
int main(void)
{
char words[NUM_WORDS][LENGTH] = {'\0'};
int i = 0;
do
{
for(i = 0; i < NUM_WORDS; i++)
{
printf("Enter a word: ");
scanf("%s", words[i]);
}
}while(words[i] != 0 || i < NUM_WORDS);
printf("Your sorted list is: %s", words);
return 0;
}warning: format specifies
type 'char *' but the argument has type 'char (*)[20]' [-Wformat]
printf("Your sorted list is: %s", words);
~~ ^~~~~printf("Your sorted list is: %s", words);Ok, this was hilarious. SenseiJinx I feel your pain. I just got done with a program and one of the guys in our group didn't understand linked lists and thought we should be storing stuff in arrays. All I'll say is I haven't been in any entry level classes for a while.
