... In one word - because of Polymorphism! If you "Program to an Interface, not an Implementation" than you can inject different objects which share the same interface(type) into the method as an argument. This way your method code is...

...e of resulting array of chars is A.size()*sizeof(Foo) in general. In other words, each class that implements serialize/deserialize methods, should also implement a method that reports the size of the array (or better yet store the array in a container). This might become the reason behind a bug. One...

...s environment variables (including ones you've defined ad-hoc). In other words: Any ad-hoc changes to the current shell in terms of shell variables, shell functions, shell options, command history are lost. Depending on your needs, one or the other approach may be preferred. [1] exec bash co...

... pointer is a pointer that cannot change the address its holding. In other words, we can say that once a constant pointer points to a variable then it cannot point to any other variable. A constant pointer is declared as follows : <type of pointer> * const <name of pointer> An example...

...memory usage, as it reads the entire output of the subprocess before doing word-splitting) is to use an IFS variable which doesn't contain the space character. Turn off globbing (set -f) to prevent strings containing glob characters such as [], * or ? from being expanded: # this is unsafe (but less...

Also, observe that if you defined a variant of C where every keyword was transformed into its French equivalent (so if becoming si, do becoming faire, else becoming sinon etc etc...) you would definitely change the syntax of your language, but you won't change much the semantics: programm...

In other words, making it work faster now will make your work even slower in the future, which can be good business sense but usually isn't. But the more important reason is that the assumption "this is the same as that" is more ofte...
