What Are Some Programming Paradigms Other Than Object-oriented? What Are Their Pros and Cons?

Object-Oriented programming is a well proven practice which succeeded procedure based programming. The programming community is excited now about Functional programming which based on lambda calculus and immutable state there are bunch of languages out there such as Clojure,Erlang,Scala,F#,Scheme,Racket the list is growing. For JVM nerds the first 3 are their options which has seen a growing popularity and adoption in the recent years.

Pros modular code easy to test and reason about the codeimmutable data structuresproblems can be mathematically expressed (lambda calculus) Cons not all functional algos are proven to very fast as imperative ones some times we need the best of both worldsimperative programmers would need a fresh perspective hence some learning curve What's next ?Logic programming .

How can I politely tell the NP (nurse practioner) that I would prefer to see the doctor?

Just request to see a doctor with the front desk when you make your appointment. Unless theres an extreme scheduling issue, they should be able to accommodate you.However, you should seriously consider seeing the NP.

My mom owns a practice, and shes incredibly busy. Because she always has so many patients booked, she can sometimes end up a little bit rushed if one or more of her patients are late. This means she cant spend as much time with her patients as they might need.

Her NP is a lovely, knowledgeable woman who would be more than happy to take that time that you might have otherwise not gotten by requesting my mother.Tl:dr, you can just ask to see the doctor instead, but you may want to consider not doing so

What is the past tense for has?

Wow.

So many answers collapsed. Mostly for one-word answers.Future: He will have an apple.

I will have an apple.Present: He has an apple. I have an apple.

Past: He had an apple. I had an apple. I was having an apple.

That last one indicates a past action, rather than the past possession of an apple. IE, I was eating the apple in the past, but Im done or Ive stopped. But wait, there is more.

He has done his duty. Past tense, but normally used just after the action. He had done his duty.

Past tense, normally used long after the action.Isnt English grand?English doesnt borrow from other languages.

It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them out, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

How do you say mother in Hawaiian?

u201cu201dThe usual word for mother is makuahine, which is derived from makua meaning parent in general (or specifically father in certain contexts) and hine, a shortening of wahine meaning woman or female.

There are a few variants of mu0101mu0101 that are also occasionally used, more often for addressing your own mother.u201cHappy Motheru2019s Day!u201d is Hauu02bboli Lu0101 Makuahine!

The male counterpart, father, is makua ku0101ne (literally, male parent), or sometimes simply makua. And, yes, I did deliberately write makuahine as one word but makua ku0101ne as two words. I have no idea why it is tat wayu2014but it is.

Sometimes Hawaiians write a concept formed form two (or more) words as a single compound word or a multiple distinct words.

How do I run a script in Terminal Mac?

There are two ways to run a script in the macOS Terminal utility.

Hereu2019s a script in the file run.txt:echo u201cIu2019m runningu201dType:sh run.txtThe sh shell command processor will take the text in the file and attempt to interpret the text in the file as commands.

The other way is to include a special first line:#!/bin/shecho u201cIu2019m runningu201dThen typechmod x run.txt.

/run.txtIn this case the shell command process will look for the execute bit and the magic characters #! and invoke the /bin/sh command processor on the rest of the file.

If you intend to write scripts that run with /bin/sh the convention is to use the file extension . sh, ie, the file will be named run. sh.

What is the output of this program? #include void main() for (I1;I

This code wont compile.But assuming I is in fact i and, i is declared, then the output would be: 6Fixed code from assumptions:#include void main() int i; for (i1;i

First, you should always return a program exit value; its good practice. Also, I would argue that a while loop would be more efficient for this particular case.Refactored code:#include

h>// main prints the value of i.// comments are important, try to explain what you're doing.// compile with: cc -Wall -o blah blah.

cint main() int i 0; // must initialize i before while loop while (i

h.I hope this helps.

Why can't computers understand simple English language?

Because computers were originally designed for crunching numbers, and at the lowest level, that's still all that they do: add, subtract, multiply, divide, copy data and compare it. They represent everything as numbers: letters, colors, sounds, button presseseverything is reduced to a number. So any process that can be performed by mathematical means, a computer can do fast and well.

The trouble is that language isn't among those. It takes place in a different part of the brain from mathematical reasoning. We haven't found a good way to convert the complexities and nuances of language into numbers.

Nor have we created any hardware that emulates what the linguistic part of the brain does. We don't understand it ourselves, so we don't know how to simulate it in machinery. Computers can't sing the blues either, and for much the same reason.

They never get the blues. They're not designed to.

Is calling racist people 'racist', racist?

I guess if you think someone is innately racist because of their race and that renders them inferior as a people because they cant function without being racist.Like thinking White people are racist because theyre White people, not because of their actions, and thinking that makes them an inferior race because of that.I mean racism is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race and youre prejudiced, discriminate, or antagonize them based on the belief that your own race is superior.

I think its a possibility but I dont think this happens much. Racism is a belief, you have to find the intent and most people think White people are racist because of their actions not because its some innate trait

What was the first code you have ever wrote, and what did it do?

It was a u201cguess numberu201d program rewritten from a book about ZX Spectrum BASIC.

I wrote it on my first computer Didactic Gama (ZX Spectrum clone).It was a simple random number generator input reading a few conditions and output printing. It was kind of a game on no more than 20 lines.

I actually didnu2019t understand what it did as I just manually u201ccopied/pastedu201d it from the book :-). Hey, and I was just 7 years old :-). Month ago, I was able to write much more complex programs by myself.

However, it worked and change my life forever as it started somethingu2026 well, I still love coding because of the way how it allows me to turn ideas into real thingsu2026

If I went back in time to when cavemen were still around, would it be possible to blend in and become one of them?

Your ability to blend it would depend upon the following things:How hairy are you?How fair skinned are you?

How high does your forehead extend above your eyes?How dependent are you upon personal hygiene in large groups, or for that matter in your mate?Do you believe that wearing dead animal skins is a fashion statement?

Do you really like your food raw, uncooked, or undercooked after you have spent all day hunting and gathering?If you answered any or all of these questions and still wonder then you might wish to look in either the upper Amazon River region; central Africa; or way out in the far reaches of Irian Jaya or Papua New Guinea where similar groups still exist today. Added benefit: save all the problems of time travel

I'm a teenager and I'm suddenly realising that my family members are very racist and ignorant.

They are very set in their ways, how do I cope with it?

You should concentrate on surrounding yourself with people who don't hold the same beliefs your relatives do. But I think you should realize that your family are not evil even if their ways of thinking and modes of being may be evil.

I would focus on their strengths and compliment them on that. I know that won't be easy. But it's worth trying.

If you directly tell your family members, in private, that their viewpoints are irrational, they may take it the wrong way. Your best bet is to definitely educate yourself and spend time with others from different ethnic backgrounds. That way you have actual experiences in dealing with people of different ethnic groups to stifle the claims that your relatives may have of those particular people being "less than.

" And do your best not to spread the message that was spread to you

What does offset tell us in assembly language?

As Toby Thain already said, itu2019s usually an amount added to, or subtracted from an address.More generally, itu2019s the numeric distance between two things, expressed in multiples of whatever the addressable units are.

This is a generic concept, and not specific to assembly language. For example, an offset from a start of a file is usually expressed in bytes, and indicates at what byte position something starts within the file. That offset is the distance, in bytes, from the start of the file to the item of interest.

An offset in memory usually works similarly. I say addressable units, because sometimes offsets are in terms of words, records, or some other quanta than bytes.What does offset mean in Assembly language?

What is a good way to end an online or text chat once the conversation has died?

Why would saying you have to go somewhere or do something never be allowed? Little white lies are an essential part of etiquette.

One of my favorite Miss Manners reproves was to the bride who had received several of the same gift, and so explained in her thank you notes that she had exchanged the duplicates--why, asked Miss Manners, couldn't you let the one you kept stand in as the one each giver gave for the purposes of writing your thank-you? There is anyway never any necessity of explaining your unavailability, as though it is subject to your correspondent's approval. Signing off can be as simple as "Oops, gotta run, TTYL.

"Edit: it's 2018, can you believe it, and I still just love this answer. Let's hear it for me!
