parameter-passing

I've been searching the internet for hours trying to figure out if the following is even possible: To choose the AS400 query records directly from Excel. I haven't found any solution or description of how this could be achieved, which makes me guess that it's simply not possible. However, I haven't seen anyone confirm that it is impossible. So my question is: Is this possible? And if it is, could you point me in the right direction in order for me to start learning how to do it? I know its possible to run a query from Excel, and then adding parameters via SQL statements, but in my case, this

I pass a number of parameter to a javascript function which builds a form for the user to fill in. Among these parameters are two more functions contained in a separate class which handle the saving or canceling of the form. The cancel function requires two parameters which it uses to determine which list of entities to build. The problem lies in the parameters. While in the form building function, if I attached the cancel function to the newly created cancel button without giving it any parameter the function button works fine but builds an empty list due to the lack of parameters. However if

I am well aware that modifying a function's argument that is passed by value is ineffective outside of the C/C++ function, but compilers allow it - but what happens? Is a local copy made of the argument and that is modifiable within the function? #include <stdio.h> void doSomething( int x ) { x = 42; printf( "The answer to Life, the Universe and Everything is (always): %i!\n", x ); } int main( int argc, char **argv ) { int a = 0; doSomething( a ); return -a; } Now this always exits without error, but where in the scheme of things (memory space) is the value represented in the function as x

Is there any way to make some sort of parametrized macro on one JSP page and reuse it few times on the same page. JSP tags could be used but I would have to make one file per tag. I've been wanting this functionality for years, and after googling yet again, I wrote my own. I think tag / jsp files & custom tag classes are great, but are often overkill for simple one-offs like you describe. This is how my new "macro" tag now works (here used for simple html rendering of sortable table headers): <%@ taglib prefix="tt" uri="/WEB-INF/tld/tags.tld" %> <!-- define a macro to render a sortable header

if I have some code like this: def handler(self): self.run(self.connect) def connect(self, param): #do stuff... def run(self, connector): self.runner = connector What's evaluated first when I call self.run(self.connect)? run with the stuff in connect already done? or connect with self.connect yet to be evaluated? Passing a function as a parameter does not call it: In [105]: def f1(f): .....: print 'hi' .....: return f .....: In [106]: def f2(): .....: print 'hello' .....: In [107]: f1(f2) hi Out[107]: <function __main__.f2> of course, if you pass a function call to another function, what you

I'm having some trouble with some code in Visual C# for Windows Phone The trouble is not that it does not work, because it does, but I don't understand how =P Within a static class, a static method is created, which gives itself as a parameter: public static void MethodONe( this Timeline animation ) { //this class does not extend the TimeLine class, and is not connected to it in any //such way. animation.MethodTwo( ); } public static void MethodTwo( this Timeline animation ) { someCode( ); } How is this parameterpassing called, and what does it do, exactly? This is a so called extention method

I understand that there are no guarantees regarding the order which the parameters of a function will be called, but, isn't it guaranteed that if there's a function call as parameter, that function will be called first? I help students on the laboratory of an introductory subject on programming, and they were supposed to create a recursive factorial function which receives the n (for n!) and a pointer to an integer that will be used to count function calls and then they are supposed to print the results (n, n! and count). Many were complaining that their use of pointers were wrong so I looked
