When you come on a training course with Well House Consultants, you leave with a thorough set of notes covering the topics on your course. And within those notes you'll find plenty of source code examples illustrating each topic.
Rather than type in the examples in your notes to try them later, you ....
In the previous article [here], I wrote about namespaces and how - as our program grows - we need to keep named pieces of code and globally accessible variable in their own groups. And we do so using a structure that's very much like family names and forenames. As our program grows, we also need t ....
We name variables. We do it so that we can identify specific pieces of data by a key, rether than have to give some longer sort of identification description when referring to them. We don't refer to "the patriarch of the household" = we refer to Zeb. And we refer to Esther, John and Olivia, Jason ....
Tcl is a language. And Tcl is also a C library. How's that?
Tcl originates from a requirement to provide a taioring capability within C programs that could be accessed in a program-like style. And the program-like style that was implemented actually had the full capabilities of a programming langu ....
When I output a table of results, I usually want it to be sorted in some way.
In Tcl, I can use lsort to sort a list - there's an example of it running in a default way [here]. However, there's often a need to order records according to a non-default algorithm, and there are switches such as -inte ....
What's the effect of having a meal? There are many. "You're not hungry any more" is the obvious answer, but also "there's washing up to do", "there's a gap on the shelves" and so on.
And yet when programming with an assignment statement (or a set command in Tcl - I am running a Tcl course this we ....
I've been to Weymouth five or six times over the last two months - providing an information source to passengers travelling from the TransWilts stations of Swindon, Chippenham and Melksham, and importantly to help them find the right train back in the evening.
Frequent rail travellers such as myse ....
Perl can handle binary data just as easily as ASCII text - but YOU - if you're the programmer - must understand the format of the data that you'll be working with. With binary data it's every bit as important to get the right bytes in the right places as it is to get the appropriate separators betw ....
In Perl, there's usually more than one way of doing it ...
If you're writing a string of text into your program, your first possibility is to use single quotes - in which case you're writing a literal string with everything between the single quote chartacters included exactly in the string. And yo ....
