logic

I'm fairly new to Python, but I have gotten this code to work, and in fact, do what it's intended to do. However, I'm wondering if there is a more efficient way to code this, perhaps to enhance the processing speed. import os, glob def scandirs(path): for currentFile in glob.glob( os.path.join(path, '*') ): if os.path.isdir(currentFile): print 'got a directory: ' + currentFile scandirs(currentFile) print "processing file: " + currentFile png = "png"; jpg = "jpg"; if currentFile.endswith(png) or currentFile.endswith(jpg): os.remove(currentFile) scandirs('C:\Program Files (x86)\music\Songs')

With the ruby ternary operator we can write the following logic for a simple if else construct: a = true ? 'a' : 'b' #=> "a" But what if I wanted to write this as if foo 'a' elsif bar 'b' else 'c' ? I could write it as the following, but it's a little difficult to follow: foo = true a = foo ? 'a' : (bar ? 'b' : 'c') #=> "a" foo = false bar = true a = foo ? 'a' : (bar ? 'b' : 'c') #=> "b" Are there any better options for handling such a scenario or is this our best bet if we wish to condense if..elsif..else logic into a single line? a = (foo && "a" or bar && "b" or "c") or a = ("a" if foo) || (

Do you know of any good javascript library for logic programming? I'm interested in something like jsprolog , but I want to use javascript to communicate with the lib, and not a different language (such as prolog in this case). Many thanks. There are a bunch of other languages that compile to javascript: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS It is possible (although not probable!) one of those has a javascript friendly API AND a suitable library that can by "compiled" into JavaScript. Exactly what you aren't looking for, and probably a time waster

How does a Java if statement work when it has an assignment and an equality check OR -d together?? public static void test() { boolean test1 = true; if (test1 = false || test1 == false) { System.out.println("TRUE"); } else { System.out.println("FALSE"); } } Why is this printing FALSE? The expression is not parsed the way you think. It's not (test1=false) || (test1 == false) in which case the result would have been true , but test1 = (false || test1 == false) The value of false || test1 == false expression is computed first, and it is false , because test1 is set to true going into the
