I'm re-defining a method in an object in ruby and I need the new method to be a closure. For example: def mess_it_up(o) x = "blah blah" def o.to_s puts x # Wrong! x doesn't exists here, a method is not a closure end end Now if I define a Proc, it is a closure: def mess_it_up(o) x = "blah blah" xp = Proc.new {|| p...
Closures are poor man's objects and vice versa. I have seen this statement at many places on the web (including SO) but I don't quite understand what it means. Could someone please explain what it exactly means? If possible, please include examples in your answer. Thanks. ...
How can i call test() inside that method? It's possible? (function() { tinymce.create('tinymce.plugins.WrImagerPlugin', { init : function(editor, url) { editor.addCommand('mceWrImagerLink', function() { //--> how can i refer to test() here? }); }, test: function () ...
why does this work: def function1(): a = 10 def function2(): print a function2() ...
I was asked to explain the ugly thing and advantages of anonymous method. I explained possibly Ugly thing anonymous methods turning quickly into spaghetti code. Advantages We can produce thread safe code using anonymous method :Example static List<string> Names = new List<string>( new string[] { "Jon Skeet", "Marc Grav...
I am learning C#.Can I mean closure as a construct that can adopt the changes in the environment in which it is defined. Example : List<Person> gurus = new List<Person>() { new Person{id=1,Name="Jon Skeet"}, new Person{id=2,Name="Marc Gravell"}, new Person{id=3,N...
So is Java 7 finally going to get the closures? What's the latest news? ...
Hey there, I've got a prototype having a method I can add callbacks with: /* * Add a callback function that is invoked on every element submitted and must return a data object. * May be used as well for transmitting static data. * * The callback function is supposed to expect a jQuery element as single parameter * and must retur...
Is it possible to bind a closure written in java into a groovy-script. Is there an interface or something to implement so i can provide a closure? Something like this? public class Example implements Closure { public void closure(Object... args) { System.out.println(args[0]); } } Bind this into the groovyscript. Binding...
Here is a simplified version of something I'm trying to run: for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) { marker = results[i]; google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() { change_selection(i); }); } but I'm finding that every listener uses the value of results.length (the value when the for loop terminates)....
I have the latest ReSharper 5.0 build (1655), where I have encountered the suggestion 'Access to modified closure' on the following code: var now = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1); var dates = new List<DateTime>(); dates.Where(d => d > now); ... now = new DateTime(); and the now inside the lambda expression is underlined with the warning. I...
The script fires Toggle fine on each Control's (Controls[i]) Click. If the Control's first OL element is not Visible it should be set Visible and all other elements in Controls that are not the current Control (Controls[i]) should be set Hidden. If the Control's first OL element is Visible it should be set Hidden. .js function Toggle(C...
I've been trying to work out how to implement Church-encoded data types in Scala. It seems that it requires rank-n types since you would need a first-class const function of type forAll a. a -> (forAll b. b -> b). However, I was able to encode pairs thusly: import scalaz._ trait Compose[F[_],G[_]] { type Apply = F[G[A]] } trait Closu...
I was listening to Crockford's talk on Javascript closures and am convinced of the benefit of information hiding, but I do not have a firm understanding of when to use callback functions. It is mostly a true statement that a person could accomplish the same functionality with or without callbacks. As someone who is writing code, what h...
I am not a Groovy expert, but I did read the book "Groovy in Action". In Groovy, each closure comes with a "context", where the items inside the closure can get access to pseudo-variables like "this", "owner", and "delegate", that let the items know who called the closure. This allows one to write DSLs like this (from Groovy in Action): ...
OK, this is going to be my beating a dying horse for the 3rd time. However, this question is different from my earlier two about closures/delegates, which asks about plans for delegates and what are the projected specs and implementation for closures. This question is about - why is the Java community struggling to define 3 different t...
In trying to learn JavaScript closures, I've confused myself a bit. From what I've gathered over the web, a closure is... Declaring a function within another function, and that inner function has access to its parent function's variables, even after that parent function has returned. Here is a small sample of script from a recent proj...
Disclaimer: absolute novice in Scala :( I have the following defined: def tryAndReport(body: Unit) : Unit = { try { body } catch { case e: MySpecificException => doSomethingUseful } } I call it like this: tryAndReport{ someCodeThatThrowsMySpecificException() } While the call to someCodeThatThrowsMySpecificException...
While I was reading the book Javascript: The Good Parts. I can not understand the piece of code bellow: We can generalize this by making a function that helps us make memoized functions. The memoizer function will take an initial memo array and the fundamental function. It returns a shell function that manages the memo st...
For example: var myObj={ myValue="hola", asMember=function(){ alert( this.myValue ); } }; myObj.asMember(); // will work fine var asGlobal=myObj.asMember; // global alias for that member function asGlobal(); // won't work in javascript (will work in AS3, but i need js now) So the question is, can I rewrite asMember so that i...
