Change column type in pandas

You have four main options for converting types in pandas: to_numeric() – provides functionality to safely convert non-numeric types (e.g. strings) to a suitable numeric type. (See also to_datetime() and to_timedelta().) astype() – convert (almost) any type to (almost) any other type (even if it’s not necessarily sensible to do so). Also allows you to convert to categorial types (very useful). infer_objects() – … Read more

What is uintptr_t data type

uintptr_t is an unsigned integer type that is capable of storing a data pointer. Which typically means that it’s the same size as a pointer. It is optionally defined in C++11 and later standards. A common reason to want an integer type that can hold an architecture’s pointer type is to perform integer-specific operations on a … Read more

Long vs Integer, long vs int, what to use and when?

Long is the Object form of long, and Integer is the object form of int. The long uses 64 bits. The int uses 32 bits, and so can only hold numbers up to ±2 billion (-231 to +231-1). You should use long and int, except where you need to make use of methods inherited from Object, such as hashcode. Java.util.collections methods usually use the boxed (Object-wrapped) versions, because they need to work for any Object, and … Read more

“X does not name a type” error in C++

When the compiler compiles the class User and gets to the MyMessageBox line, MyMessageBox has not yet been defined. The compiler has no idea MyMessageBox exists, so cannot understand the meaning of your class member. You need to make sure MyMessageBox is defined before you use it as a member. This is solved by reversing the definition order. However, you have a cyclic dependency: if you move MyMessageBox above User, … Read more
