processing

Other than looping through each element in an array and setting each one to null, is there a native function in Java / processing to simply empty an array (or destroy it, to be able to redeclare it as a new array)? There's Arrays.fill(myArray, null); Not that it does anything different than you'd do on your own (it just loops through every element and sets it to null). It's not native in that it's pure Java code that performs this, but it is a library function if maybe that's what you meant. This of course doesn't allow you to resize the array (to zero), if that's what you meant by "empty".

This is just a quick post to try to encourage the use of the INTERVAL function when adjusting (sys)timestamps (or dates). I thought this would be better expressed through a quick script with comments to show how using the traditional Oracle method of calculating fractions of a day can cause problems and make you have to think more than necessary. There are 2 main issues with using the traditional Oracle method of calculating date/time changes. Firstly, it’s strange. You have to calculate fractions of a day. 1 second is 1/86400, 1 minute is 1/1440 [maybe 1/(24*60) expresses it better]. Secondly

I have searched up so many sites on Google to try and get this to work but NO ONE seems to have this anywhere , and if they do it's just NOT working with my program... What I am trying to achieve is to have a player recoil that when the player gets hit, he has a "x" amount of time between getting hit the first time and the second time. So I have a Boolean "hit" = false and when he gets hit, it changes to true . Which means he can't get hit again until it's changed to false again. So I'm trying to set up a function in my program to set a "timer" for "x" amount of seconds IF hit = true and once

In C# you can define delegates anonymously (even though they are nothing more than syntactic sugar). For example, I can do this: public string DoSomething(Func<string, string> someDelegate) { // Do something involving someDelegate(string s) } DoSomething(delegate(string s){ return s += "asd"; }); DoSomething(delegate(string s){ return s.Reverse(); }); Is it possible to pass code like this in Java? I'm using the processing framework, which has a quite old version of Java (it doesn't have generics). Pre Java 8: The closest Java has to delegates are single method interfaces. You could use an
