...at you should (probably) be using it much more than an Array (which is actually mutable - the immutable analog of Array is IndexedSeq). If you are coming from a Java background, then the obvious parallel is when to use LinkedList over ArrayList. The former is generally used for lists which are only...

...turn the size of an object in bytes. The object can be any type of object. All built-in objects will return correct results, but this does not have to hold true for third-party extensions as it is implementation specific. Only the memory consumption directly attributed to the object is accounted for...

... new instance. __new__ is the first step of instance creation. It's called first, and is responsible for returning a new instance of your class. In contrast, __init__ doesn't return anything; it's only responsible for initializing the instance after it's been created. In ge...

...t, and changing a reference. s2 still points to the same object as we initially set s1 to point to. Setting s1 to "Help!" only changes the reference, while the String object it originally referred to remains unchanged. If strings were mutable, we could do something like this: String s1 = "Hello"; St...

...ice implementation. I'm just here to point out some style stuff. python usually does node is not None instead of your (node!=None). Also, you can use the __str__ function instead of the printTree method. – Jeff Mandell Oct 18 '15 at 2:30 ...

...y and a set member, because these data structures use the hash value internally. All of Python’s immutable built-in objects are hashable, while no mutable containers (such as lists or dictionaries) are. Objects which are instances of user-defined classes are hashable by default; they all comp...

Is there a method built in to .NET that can write all the properties and such of an object to the console? Could make one using reflection of course, but I'm curious to if this already exists... especially since you can do it in Visual Studio in the Immediate Window. There you can an object name (wh...

... The problems with calling Thread.Sleep are explained quite succinctly here: Thread.Sleep has its use: simulating lengthy operations while testing/debugging on an MTA thread. In .NET there's no other reason to use it. Thread.Sleep(n) m...

... Look in /lib or /usr/lib. The libraries are all named lib<name>.a or lib<name>.so - it's the "<name>" you put after the -l. In this case, the math library is named libm.so, so we call it -lm. – ams Dec 29 '11 at ...
