Pause Console in C++ program

There might be a best way (like using the portable cin.get()), but a good way doesn’t exist. A program that has done its job should quit and give its resources back to the computer. And yes, any usage of system() leads to unportable code, as the parameter is passed to the shell that owns your process. Having pausing-code in your source … Read more

Python- Robot Framework Rebot Using List

I was able to find a simple solution by using robot.rebot_cli() instead of robot.rebot(). The answer to my example code shown above is as follows. Also, (a side note) running rebot_cli will terminate the program once it is finished merging the files together. To prevent this from happening I included exit=False :

These messages are a safety precaution the browser uses with sensitive data such as post variables. The browser will not automatically give … Read more

addEventListener vs onclick

Both are correct, but none of them are “best” per se, and there may be a reason the developer chose to use both approaches. Event Listeners (addEventListener and IE’s attachEvent) Earlier versions of Internet Explorer implement javascript differently from pretty much every other browser. With versions less than 9, you use the attachEvent[doc] method, like … Read more

system(“pause”); – Why is it wrong?

t’s frowned upon because it’s a platform-specific hack that has nothing to do with actually learning programming, but instead to get around a feature of the IDE/OS – the console window launched from Visual Studio closes when the program has finished execution, and so the new user doesn’t get to see the output of his … Read more

.Net 4.8 Support for Windows 10 ends in 26 days?

From what I understand, since Microsoft will not be releasing any new versions of .Net Framework, they have committed to supporting 4.8 indefinitely: .NET Framework 4.8 is the last version of .NET Framework, and no further versions will be released. However, .NET Framework will continue to be serviced with monthly security and reliability bug fixes. Additionally, … Read more

Correct way to write line to file?

This should be as simple as: From The Documentation: Do not use os.linesep as a line terminator when writing files opened in text mode (the default); use a single ‘\n’ instead, on all platforms. Some useful reading: The with statement open() ‘a’ is for append, or use ‘w’ to write with truncation os (particularly os.linesep)

What is the purpose of the word ‘self’?

The reason you need to use self. is because Python does not use the @ syntax to refer to instance attributes. Python decided to do methods in a way that makes the instance to which the method belongs be passed automatically, but not received automatically: the first parameter of methods is the instance the method is called on. That makes methods entirely the … Read more
