I'm trying to make my "hello world" GUI in PyQt5.
I have a simple layout made in Qt Designer of a ListWidget, LineEdit, and a PushButton.
What I want to happen is when the button is pressed it would add a new item to the list with the text from the line.
I sort of understand how signals work, but I don't know how to pass arguments to the slot.

Example (from the pyuic generated file):

self.pushButton.pressed.connect(self.listWidget.addItem)

addItem obviously needs a text argument, where do I put it (specifically

self.lineEdit.text()

)?

Implementing Conway's Game of Life in Unity because I need to learn Unity.

Any tips on optimising the following?

            foreach (Tile t in world.GetTiles()) {
                t.calculateNumNeighbours ();
            }

            foreach (Tile t in world.GetTiles()) {
                t.calculateLivingState ();
            }

calculateNumNeighbours() is a block of if statements to check the surrounding tiles (2d array), and check you're not out of bounds.

>>52865882
can you put them both into the same for loop? or do the neighbors need to be calculated for every tile before you can calculate the living state

>>52865706
You need to define your own method that calls `self.listWidget.addItem(self.lineEdit.text())` and connect pushButton.pressed to it yourself.

>>52866062
seeing as the living state depends on the amount of neighbors, probably a no

Simple connections that you can make entirely in Qt Designer generally work only for very basic things, like connecting QPushButton.clicked to QDialog.accept. Most other signals need to be connected to a method on a controller object that can have the needed logic.

Signals are allowed to pass arguments to their slots, but the slots don't need to take them. For example, QAbstractButton.clicked will pass a `checked` argument (only relevant for checkboxes and toggle buttons), but you can connect it to a method that doesn't take any arguments and it will silently drop the argument.

Also, one benefit of working with Qt in Python is that you don't need to declare slots. Any and every Python method is automatically a slot.

Yes, the state has to be calculated for every tile before the new state is applied - otherwise a tiles state will be altered before later tiles have a chance to asses their own state.

I was able to fix this by removing the endl; after "enter max value: " and just end it with a semi colon instead. Does anyone know why that is? Now I'm trying to get that result to print to blue.

>>52867544
Assuming you're using Visual Studio, simply set a breakpoint in your code by clicking in the left margin. Then, check the values of your variables as you step through the code line-by-line with F11.

>>52867646
so it looks like

cout << "Enter max value: ";
cin >> max;

>>52867544

>system("pause");
First of all, delete this line from your program, and never use it in any of your future programs. Your program should terminate immediately after the last cout statement, and return to the shell you called it from.

Also, is this what your program is supposed to look like? Because it works as is on my box.

>>52867664
cout << "Enter max value: " << flush;

to ensure flushing

>>52867763
Yeah it's supposed to look like that. I got it, after removing the endl; as stated
>>52867664

Paste your code because it werks on my machine.

>>52867698
>I'd like to see this written in C++
It would look pretty much the same.

>>52867839
Yeah just keep the system("pause") or a cin or something to pause execution, that's completely fine for developing inside visual studio.
You'll see later when you start making programs that get called by other programs, that things like using stdout and stderr correctly as well as making sure the program is easily runnable from a command line becomes more important.

>Yeah it's supposed to look like that. I got it, after removing the endl; as stated
I'm pretty sure it just works by coincidence and you can't rely on it in its current state.
Like someone else you need to make sure to flush the buffers, it's the only way to guarantee that the values get properly store from cin and printed with cout.

>>52867849
I have no idea, I wasn't really paying attention when I wrote it, was probably just recycling something I did elsewhere

>>52867864
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ostream/flush-free/

When you call certain print functions, the thing you want to write is buffered internally. For example

cout << "a";
// nothing has been printed yet
cout << "b"
// nothing here either
flush();
// finally both "a" and "b" are printed at the same time.

This is for performance reasons, because print calls are actually relatively expensive. Forgive me if the details aren't 100% correct since I haven't used C++ in years but that's the gist of it

Unixfags, why isn't this working for me?

notify-send "$(tail -n 1 text | sed 's/^.*\]//')"

>When I remove the system("pause") it closes in VS before I can get the result.
It's a console program, Anon. You run it from a console. If you run it in other ways, then what happens is Windows creates a console window for the duration of the program, and kills it afterwards. You ever use an installer on Windows that might pop up a command prompt for like a few seconds and then kill itself? That's what's happening. If you already have a console open, however, then the program you compiled becomes a child process of the console you opened. When your program terminates, it resumes execution back to the console that opened it.

And I would recommend not using Visual Studio. MSVC is the worst C and C++ compiler on the market. If you MUST use Visual Studio, there's a way to get the system("pause") crap inserted in by the compiler for debugging (it's either F5 or Ctrl+F5, I can't remember which), but if you have the option to, I recommend MinGW-w64, which is literally just gcc for Windows. On other platforms, MinGW is a cross-compiler to Windows, which can be nice if you want to build for, say, Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X on the same machine, with just a change in prefix (and maybe some LDFLAGS) for each target.

If you're running under debugger - set a breakpoint on the last line.
Otherwise run with ctrl+f5 (i.e run without debugger) and it will pause at the end for you.

addch prints a character and advances the cursor. If it's at the last spot on the console, it doesn't advance the cursor. This just makes the cursor go all the way back to the top.

You may as well say that there should be a primes must not be multiples of 3 (or 5 or 7 or ...) rule. Each prime p is the only prime which is a multiple of p. 2 is no different in that regard.

The primes aren't some arbitrary set of numbers which someone chose. The primes are what they need to be in order for the fundamental theorem of arithmetic to hold.

>>52868908
Recursion is fundamental to functional programming. You can't write a non-trivial program in any remotely-pure functional language without it.

The fact that it also exists in (most) non-functional languages doesn't change that.

>>52869097
> You don't need recursion anywhere.
You need it to actually write non-trivial functions. E.g. anything which processes recursive types such as lists.

PS (just in case you're trying to be "clever"): using a pre-defined recursion operator (e.g. some form of the Y combinator) doesn't mean that you aren't using recursion.

>>52869213

}

void g(Node *node)
{
    if(!node) return;
    // process
    g(node->next);
}

Why would you have to opt-in for the second solution in case of a list like that?

>>52869262
Because the first one isn't functional, node gets reassigned repeatedly. The discussion at hand is within the context of functional programming.

Hey guys, I'm starting a slightly bigger-than-usual project (for me) which is aims to be a sort of libnotify on steroids.

The thing is, it should communicate with other programs in a way that is nice to handle from any programming language/whatever, preferably in a pre-specified data format.

Question is, is it acceptable to let a program output JSON to stdout and then read and reconstruct this data from stdin? Or is there a better (cross-platform) way to do this.
I found unix ipc sockets, but those will not be portable to windows, will they?

>>52869548

>PS (just in case you're trying to be "clever"): using a pre-defined recursion operator (e.g. some form of the Y combinator) doesn't mean that you aren't using recursion.
That was what I had in mind. I was thinking of a language that has pre-defined functions (e.g. map and fold) but doesn't allow any language-level recursion.

It depends on whether you mean a function calling itself or recursion in the semantics where a part of a program is evaluated multiple times.

The semantics of loops involves recursion in the second meaning.

while e do s

means

if e then (s; while e do s)

This is a pre-defined recursion operator even though the language might not have user-defined functions at all.

>>52869548
Just write the JSON to disk and let the other program read it from there, unless you have some really weird usecase but I can't think of a reason to print it to stdout.

>>52869548
Yeah you can have a directory and have your daemon read JSON files from there and delete them after displaying the notification

>>52869595
that sounds like a horrible idea

Your PS is dismissing the very thing that's fundamental to the discussion. Many different computation structures can be transformed into each other, and a lot of stuff can be rewritten iteratively, recursively etc.
The important question is: does the code you write have explicit recursion? Whether the underlying interpreter/compiler is using loops, recursion, Y combinators etc. is irrelevant.
By your reasoning, Haskell wouldn't count as a pure language, because its underlying runtime can do I/O, but that's irrelevant. The important thing is whether the code that haskell allows you to write respects the laws governing functional purity and referential transparency, to allow it to be treated as a rewrite system.

> Your PS is dismissing the very thing that's fundamental to the discussion.
Quite the opposite, actually.

To construct a non-trivial (i.e. anything that isn't O(1)) program using only pure functions, you need recursion. Whether that's through permitting recursion in bindings (i.e. allowing the name of a function to appear within its definition) or through pre-defined recursion operators doesn't matter. Either way, you need recusions.

> The important question is: does the code you write have explicit recursion?
Ah, so *now* it's "explicit" recursion. /dpt/ - daily goalpost-moving thread.

> Whether the underlying interpreter/compiler is using loops, recursion, Y combinators etc. is irrelevant.
What is relevant are the semantics of the language. Within a binding, can the bound name appear in the expression which is bound to it (i.e. "let rec" semantics versus plain "let" semantics)? If not, does it provide some other mechanism for recursion?

If the answer to both of those is "no", then you have some explaining to do: with regard to how non-trivial programs can be written using only functions.

> By your reasoning, Haskell wouldn't count as a pure language, because its underlying runtime can do I/O
Being able to do I/O doesn't make a language "not functional". It's the implicit state and side effects which normally go hand-in-hand with I/O (but not in Haskell, which provides I/O via a pure functional interface by making the previous state of the world a parameter and the modified state part of the return value).

>>52869777
> You can just use an explicit stack and/or queue

Isn't that the same thing as stdout->stdin?

Thing is, the notification-creating scripts/programs should be as simple as possible to make in any language, so they should not have to look for any folder/port/use a library for that, instead I need the simplest way possible to get some data format across to the 'server' which handles the further stuff.
So far I guess I'll go with sockets, have some command return the proper port when necessary and allow piping input for tiny scripts that can't use sockets.

>>52870201
>Ah, so *now* it's "explicit" recursion. /dpt/ - daily goalpost-moving thread.
Unless you can specify where the discssion was about *implicit* recursion, you did it earlier, by going on about how Y is "really just implicit recursion". One could argue recursion is "really just an Y combinator". Both positions are retarded, and I have no clue why you think recursion is more deserving of any special attention among the alternatives to it.

So... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't RAND_MAX typically a power of two, minus one? And don't most terminals support a number of colors equal to a power of two? So wouldn't using modulo 8 with rand() produce uniformly random results (assuming rand() wasn't a piece of shit)?

Sepples has most random stuff build in already. Tested, verified and no hacks needed.

struct array {
    char *data;
    size_t len;    
};

bool ensuresize(struct array *a, size_t size)
{
    if (size < a->len) return true;    
    
    size_t newlen = a->len ? a->len * 2 : DEFAULT_SIZE;
    
    if (newlen < size) newlen = size;
    
    char *newdata = realloc(a->data, newlen);
    
    if (!newdata) return false;
    
    a->data = newdata;
    a->len  = newlen;

I said typically, not always. I'm not sure what ISA you're using. It's probably Intel, or maybe ARM, MIPS, or POWER, but very likely, it's using bits, rather than some ternary model. I'm sorry willing to bet that RAND_MAX is probably INT_MAX. Did I call things right?

also I may or may not be retarded because when I tried to compile Lua on my computer and set up my path variables I couldn't get it to run the functions in command prompt

C++, C#, Java, and Python are all in-demand.

If you used Lua for Windows it should install correctly. Otherwise its a better idea to just install cygwin or MSYS2 and install Lua via package manager.

>>52873086

Pretty much every language is in demand to some degree. You can't go wrong learning something new.

For someone who did some very minor C++ and C programming back when I studied for my engineering degree, which SDK would be easiest to pick up and make a simple GPS-tracking based app, iOS or Android?

How should someone go about learning C?

well after taking a short gander at a website comparing the two ( http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?RubyVsPerl ) I think I shall begin my life as a perl programmer today

thank

>>52873236
Android uses Java (which is similar to C++) and has more market share. Objective-C (which iOS uses) is less similar to C/C++ than Java is to them. Not sure how Swift compares.

Okay, thanks. Are there any significant differences in how easy it is to publish the app, or cost related to it? Gonna be a free one I guess, and just for fun. I think more feature-rich apps that cover what I have in mind already exists.

stupid question but how do I increment an int within a while loop in Java

i.e.

while (inFile.hasNext()) 
{
sNum = 0;

. . . 

sNum++;

Obviously, with the code as it is it just keeps setting nSum back to 0 after the loop runs. Can I put the variable declaration in the parens after the while? Java isn't letting me

>>52873283
pffffttttt
Good one.

put sNum=0 before the while loop? wtf?

>>52873365

int num = 0;
while (inFile.hasNext())
{
  ...
  sNum++;
}

how do I code a global mouse drag function in unity?

>>52873365
Just put the variabe declaration before the while. Also, you should be using a for loop for this anyway.

>>52873496
the while loop is reading text from a file, and as it was explained to me, a while loop is better here since a for loop is typically meant to be used when you know the number of iterations

>>52873423
Don't listen to this fag.
Learn perl5.

I have a little difficulty understanding this simple pseudocode:

function is_prime(n : integer)
    if n ≤ 1
        return false
    else if n ≤ 3
        return true
    else if n mod 2 = 0 or n mod 3 = 0
        return false
    let i ← 5
    while i×i ≤ n
        if n mod i = 0 or n mod (i + 2) = 0
            return false
        i ← i + 6
    return true

I get pretty much everything except this:

let

what is it, what does it do, where in the tree it sits and what's its equivalent in c++ ?

>>52873436
If you're just starting out, it really doesn't matter what book you use. So long as it isn't geared toward a specific purpose like "Make your own game in 10 hours!" or whatever shenanigans like that.

>>52873517
Literally let i = 5 for the rest of this function

>>52873517
In this instance, it just means

int i = 5;

in a real language let has specific meaning, but in pseudocode, it's just declaring another variable.

>>52873517
>what's its equivalent in c++

int i = 5

>>52873517

let means create i and assign it, but doesn't give you a type annotation.

in C++, this will mean:

int i = 5;

or similar. Could be long, could be long long.. it's up to you.

>>52873517
I think that is the way they say give the variable a number, because saying "set var equal to" is incorrect, because computationally you're GIVING the value the right side of the operator, you're not equating it to anything, so that right arrow means you're storing that value

>>52873454
pls reply.

I have code reading text from a file and one of the strings extracted is either a "Y"/"N" column.

i.e.

String ath = file.hasNext();

Then I have the code check for whether that letter was a "Y" or a "N" and some further qualifications if "Y" is true.

i.e.

if (ath == "Y" && numGrade >= 70)
{
elig = "Y"
} else if (ath == "N" && numGrade <70)
{
elig = "N"
} else 
{
elig = "N/A"
}

I have the console printing out what ath ends up being and it is receiving the correct inputs, i.e. it is being designated as either a "Y" or a "N" however, elig is always set to "N/A" regardless of what ath is. Any ideas as to why this happens?

(! (n==0)or(n==5)) is the same as (n! =0)or(n==5) right?

>>52873511
A for loop is for iterating to a list of things, in this case, lines in your text file. It's a textbook case of something you should use a for loop for.

A while loop is for doing something until a particular condition has been satisfied.

>>52873696
the while loop is checking to see whether there are still strings to be output, how is that not correct usage?

>>52873674
You're using ! in differing ways. In the first example it seems as though it's the `not' operator, while in the second it looks like you're trying to use it as a factorial.

Either way, they are not equivalent.

>>52873543
thanks!
so this

    let i ← 5

in c++ would be

i = 5;

and that's it?


>>52873548
>>52873550
>>52873556
oh. this place is quick. thanks guys.

and another thing. that tree is confusing me. shouldn't there be a last else after all (well, both) else ifs? and how does the while loop relate to that tree, if it does at all?

I'll post my lousy translation of that code to c++, how far I get it, in a bit.

captcha: select all images with trees

>>52873737
The for loop is a more specific case of a while loop. Everything that can be done with a for loop can also be done in a while loop, so it's technically not incorrect. But if you want to do it "right", for loops were designed specifically for cases like these. If you are not gooing to use a for loop here, you might as well not use them at all.

Any tips/advice for a beginner programmer?

How would I get the opening question (name) to be in red?

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
#include <Windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    
    int num, numrand;
    char yn;
    string name;
    srand(time(NULL));
    HANDLE h = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(h, FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY);
    cout << "Welcome and please enter your name: "; cin >> name;
    while(true)
    { 
        cout << "Hello " << name << " Do you want to play a game (y/n)"; cin >> yn;
        if (yn == 'n' | yn == 'N')
            return 0;

    while (true)
    {
        cout << "Computer will imagine one number from 0 to 5 and you guess it: ";
        cin >> num;
        numrand = rand() % 6; //generate a number from 0 to 5'
        if (numrand == num)
            cout << "You win!" << endl;
        else if (num == -1)
            break;
        else
            cout << "You lose! The computer imagined the number " << numrand << endl;
    }

    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Should I create a function that I will call to whenever I wanna change the cout to a a random color. How would I go about doing this in C++

>>52873776
Theyre both negating. So The 1st doesnt say 'its not the case that n equals 0'?

>>52873788
>shouldn't there be a last else after all (well, both) else ifs?
A final else would mean you want to do something when n doesn't fit the other cases you're looking for. In this instance, that's not particular useful.

>>52873642
Here you go.

what do you guys use for CI?

>>52873835
what are your interests? software, games, hardware, money, webdev, ...? what do you study?
IMO, if you like hardware stuff, you should learn C AND assembler.
if you want money, learn java/python/some trendy, hipster lang.

>>52873894
The first says "the opposite of whether n is 0 or 5" and the second says "whether or not the opposite of n equals 0 or n equals 5". Notice how the `not' in the second part is applied to n instead of the whole (n==0) bit. The opposite of n doesn't particularly make sense, so it's not really a good idea to put it on a variable that's an integer.

>>52868373

main = fmap sum xs >>= print
  where
    xs = fmap read getLine >>= \x -> if x == 0 then return [] else fmap (x:) xs

I'm sure someone can make this neater.

I dont understand the point of modules when all of the C++ standard library is templated to hell and back, what difference will it make? and these continuous efforts to get rid of headers, I just dont get it. how are you meant to know what functions to call without headers? are you meant to depend entirely on the intellisense capabilities of the IDE? why are modules meant to be so much better than just using headers?

Any tips or advice for a beginner programmer?

>>52873970
Learning languages with the motivation of making money when you are just starting out is a fools errand. Yes there are a ton of high pay jobs revolving around software development, but it's probably going to take you 5 years of programming or more until you are hireable as a software developer. 5 years from now you will hopefully barely even remember the stuff you were struggling with today, you will have moved on to different languages methodologies. All the stuff you learn in your first year, you could easily learn in a week 5 years from now. So honestly it doesn't matter what you pick to start with, just do whatever you think is fun. Don't worry about what languages you should learn, just program and have fun, then by the time you need to know what you should learn for employability's sake, you will also know how to figure that out yourself.

what's the issue?

>>52873788
>>52873895

surprisingly enough, it compiles and kinda works. it works correctly with numbers up to 28 (I tested each and every). with bigger numbers, however, it seems to give correct result for non-primes but stucks with primes. why?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

main()
{
    int n;
    int i;
    cin >> n;


    if ( n <= 1 )
        return false;
    else if ( n <= 3 )
        return true;
    else if
        ( ( n % 2 == 0 ) or ( n % 3 == 0 ) )
        return false;
    i = 5;
    while ( ( i * i ) <= n )
        if ( ( n % i == 0 ) or ( n % ( i + 2 ) == 0 ) )
        return false;
    i = i + 6;
    return true;

}

Does anyone have a thing where you can practice looking for/fixing bugs?

I've been using several resources (books, videos, article-tutorials) to learn Python and, while I have a good grasp on it... I haven't built a fucking thing.

Anyone have any ideas or a specific list of beginner projects to work with?

I saw some /dpt/ list one day, but some of the challenges on that list seemed too tedious/impractical.
