I know && is the logical operator here, also conditions on the left and on the right are operands, right? Like: 1+1 is an expression where + is the operator and the numbers are operands. I just do not know whether the condition itself is called the operand as well because it get compared by an operator. I guess so.+ Thanks What are the parts called? > , && , and == are all operators. Operands are the values passed to the operators. x , y , and z are the initial operands. Once x > y and z == 5 are evaluated, those boolean results are used as the operands to the && operator which means the

I was reading C Primer Plus and came across the following lines that I couldn't understand- Pointers? What are they? Basically, a pointer is a variable (or, more generally, a data object)whose value is a memory address. Just for reference,I came across these lines earlier- Consider an assignment statement. Its purpose is to store a value at a memory location. Data object is a general term for a region of data storage that can be used to hold values. The C standard uses just the term object for this concept. One way to identify an object is by using the name of a variable. I tried googleing but

In functional programming, functions are regarded as entities, and can be passed around as objects are in an OO context. At some level, the function may be 'called' with some arguments. And I was wondering: is this, too, called Dependency Injection? And further: does this usage of DI result in Inversion of Control? Dependency Injection is a concept. You could perhaps "implement" DI in functional languages using this (the ability to pass functions as parameters). There could be many ways to achieve DI and each language might have its ways of implementing DI. DI is a specialized form of IoC.

More detail to my question: HTML and JavaScript are called "client-side code". C# and VB in the code behind files are termed "server-side code". So what is inline-asp, and 'runat=server' code blocks called? <!-- This is called "client-side" --> <p>Hello World</p> <script>alert("Hello World");</script> ... // This is called "server-side" public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write("Hello World"); } ... <%-- What is this called ??? --%> <asp:Label ID="MyLabel" runat="server" /> <% Response.Write("Hello World"); %> The best term I can come up with is "Web Forms Code". To be

These are two atomic operations: int value = 5; Object obj = new Object(); But when using a primitive as a method parameter, would this be considered as an atomic operation: public void setValue(int val, Object obj){ this.value = val; // Atomic? this.obj = obj; // Not atomic? } ? The copy of the object reference is not atomic since it includes a read and a write, right? Would it be correct to say that the only way to make an atomic operation on an object reference is to declare it null or assign a new object to it, like: Object obj = null; and Object obj = new Object(); ? If the parameter in

I've been working a lot with HTTP related things - HTTP requests, HTTP responses, HTTP methods etc., but I'm not really sure I understand what the protocol itself looks like. Is it a document like a specification? Is it a document like a specification? Yes, HTTP is a protocol over TCP/IP defined in the following specification: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html This protocol is for example implemented by web servers and client browsers. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) provides a pattern to interact with Resources (e.g. webpages on a webserver). Essentially it boils down to a
