ArchNadeom, Keeper Of Records.
Stardate #259.
WarWolff stood on the bridge looking out.
He could see them. Dark blots against the stars. The hulls of one hundred warships. One thousand guns arrayed against him. The mighty armada of Victrix Mortalis.
WarWolff stood tall. Hands clasped behind his back. His cloak was heavy. The thick fur cut with many scars. A dangerous glint in his eye.
His enemies would rue his name.
WarWolff. Lord Commander of Wolfpack.
The Great Wolf.
His ship was massive.
Along with standard lasers and missle bays, WarWolff had outfitted the sides of his ship with two enormous projectile artillery cannons. 200 calibre 64 inch batteries.
Each barrel was 1060 feet long. Three-and-a-half football fields in length. Firing shells that measured 64 inches in diameter. Almost as tall as a man and twice the size of the largest cannon ball.
The guns were specially encased in a patented 0 Kelvin coolant housing. So much heat was generated per shot that without extra cooling not even the cold vacuum of space could prevent them from melting during operation.
The gun houses, where the crew manned the cannons, were mounted at the rear of the ship. While the barrels were hard-fastened to run along the sides and extend beyond the front. Like two jousting lances held on the back of a horse.
The cannons only pointed forward and could not maneuver on their own, so they required the ship’s steering to aim. Also, because of the tremendous amount of firepower they packed with each shot, special timing mechanisms had to be built into the engines to counter the powerful force of kickback from each volley and keep the ship steady when firing.
WarWolff nicknamed them Krupp and Big Bertha.
“Sir, the last of Wolfpack has arrived. The fleet is assembled. Awaiting your orders.”
Victrix Mortalis had arranged their armada in a Wall formation. Each ship flying next to the other in a flat line. Wing tip to wing tip. 50 across. 2 ranks deep. One hundred ships.
WarWolff smiled.
The strategy behind a Wall formation was simple. Thin your line and stretch out your ships longer than the enemy host. When the center was struck, the sides would pivot like two doors on a hinge towards the middle. Effectively flanking their opponent.
Its most famous enactment was in the Battle Of Marathon. Where the Athenian army routed and then decimated a superior Persian force. Victrix Mortalis would cast themselves as the Athenians.
It was as historically significant as it was irrelevant.
Space battles did not operate under the same conventional limitations as a two-dimensional planet. Space was three-dimensional.
WarWolff smiled grimly. His fleet was not Persian. They were wolves.
“Broadcast my orders across the fleet. Vic Triple-Deck Sleeper formation.”
The Vic formation was a standard aerial combat formation. Three ships. One on point. With two further back on either flank. In this case though, the normal ship placements would be filled by full squadrons.
Triple-Deck added two more levels of squadrons. One above and one below. Making the formation three layers high.
The Sleeper squadron flew behind point, nestled among and protected by the other squadrons. It was not a rearguard. It was a special tactics unit. It was meant to harrass the enemy force and make them commit to their plan of attack.
“xEEVEEx, take left flank with SCVsUnion and Voxar.
Machiel, take right with Librakron and MizzBlaze.”
Against a wall formation, the flanks would get hit the hardest. He needed their most powerful ships guarding their sides. xEEVEEx was the most battle-hardened and dependable. Machiel was the strongest, but also unpredictable. He was better positioned where he was most likely to hit enemy ships.
“Sumara and Deathlord291, take top with Ivydocious.
Seq and Hyten, take bottom with Skinkrules.”
Top and bottom squadrons were less likely to receive enemy fire. Sumara, Deathlord291, Seq, and Hyten were brilliant tacticians and expert marksman. They worked best when placed in a superior firing position where they could exact maximum damage. They would help thin the enemy ranks while xEEVEEx and Machiel weathered the brunt of enemy fire.
“ArchNadeom, you’re on Sleeper with fritz and Qtarsis.”
ArchNadeom and fritz were built like skirmishers. Using hit-and-run tactics, they could engage and harrass larger ships for a significant amount of time until one or the other finally came out on top. Qtarsis would help finish off any stragglers. As a Sleeper squadron, they offered what the fleet would need most from them. Time.
“I will take point with _sharky_ and CyberWocky.”
The strategy of a Vic Triple-Deck Sleeper formation was to hit the opposing force like a wrecking ball. Between the coordinated attack of WarWolff’s twin cannons and _sharky_’s battering ram, there wouldn’t be much left standing after their first frontal assault.
They would smash into the enemy ranks with enough power to break through and then keep sailing at maximum speed before the enemy could close on their flanks. It was a tactic that would depend on force and speed.
The Sleeper squadron would drop off like a mine sometime before the two forces collided. Fully exposed and totally outnumbered.  Visible, yet just beyond reach.
A tempting target upon which the enemy could redeem themselves after their first battering, while the rest of Wolfpack circled back to enclose on the divided force and now exposed enemy flanks.
“Captains, you have fought for this moment. Months in preparation. Tuning your ships. Training your crews. Bloodied. You tested your mettle in battle. For this moment.
“Under the shadow of the S.Q.U.I.D. empire, you grew. Against the incursions of Sushi Train, you banded together. Defying the ravages of war, you endured.
“A scrabble of ragtag ships, you transformed yourselves into a fleet of a lethal fighting force. Where others fell, you endured. For this moment.
“This moment, you will claim your place in the galaxy. This moment, you will look across the battlefield. You will see the enemy armada assembled against you. And you will say, “No more.”
“No more will I stand aside. No more will I go unheard. No more will I sit idly by and watch as others tear the galaxy apart. No more will I endure.

WarWolff looked out upon the mighty warships in formation around him. xEEVEEx in his powerful emerald federation. Sumara in her aqua dorito-shaped squid. _sharky_ with the vicious red teeth painted across his bow.
His fleet. His proud captains. The Wolfpack insignia blazened angrily across their hulls.
“Officers, assemble your squadrons. Wolfpack, prepare to engage.”

Bootstrap (4.2.1) color, size, border radius, and disabled classes can be applied to buttons. For accessibily,
Bootstrap's out-of-the-box :hover
and :focus
styles (box shadow) have been removed in favor of native browser default focus (blue
halo).
Additionally, all buttons :hover
and :focus
states underline text to ensure a noticable
state-change when navigating or tabbing through content.
This customization is found in scss/_d-enhancements.scss.
Example of the aformentioned accessibility modifications made to buttons with Bootstrap's btn
class:
Buttons and links with a disabled
class include the css rule cursor: not-allowed;
, which
on hover, indicates that the button is disabled.
<button class="btn btn-lg btn-block btn-primary disabled" type="button" aria-disabled="true" tabindex="-1">Primary</button> Link
Icon buttons are created using the free version of Font Awesome.
Add a no-btn-style
class to <button>
. When using icons without concurrent text, add
a title
attribute to describe the icon.
Instances of Font Awesome icons should include a role="img"
attribute.
<button class="no-btn-style" type="button">  </button>
To use a Font Awesome icon with any <button>
or
element, simply add a
has-icon
class to the parent element. Wrap the button text with
with two classes: title
and mx-1
.
The title
class ensures only the text will be underlined on hover and focus, while the mx-1
class provides even spacing around the text when a right-to-left language is being used.
<button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary has-icon" type="button">  Accessible </button>   Accessible
Add a blended-link
class to an
tag to automatically inherit the parent element's color while adding text-decoration:underline;
to the link.
For accessibility, all links without a class (unstyled) that are present within #primary-content
have
text-decoration:underline;
applied. This customization is found in scss/_e-supplementary-classes.scss.

This map displays the relative numbers of outbound college students from each state, defined as a student who is a resident of that given state but is attending college in a different state.
This map displays the relative numbers of inbound college students entering each state, defined as a student who is a resident of a different state but is attending college in that given state.
This map displays the relative numbers of students remaining within their residential state for college.
Note: The average percentage of students remaining in-state for college in the US is exceptionally high and thus states with lower percentages are displayed as closer to black than they are to blue in this representation since the data is so skewed toward the higher end of the spectrum for this particular scenario.
This information was compiled from the College Board's 2015 data set. A PDF version of the data used is available here, or you can download the Excel sheet I used. More detailed information about the data and the process I used to create this visualization is available on GitHub.

“Tsk, tsk,” said the Hatter, “what a mess you’ve made.”
“It is perfectly fine,” replied Alice calmly.  Furthermore, your polymorphic variables won’t ever be properly deleted, because you haven’t declared your destructor to be virtual.”
“My what to be what?” said Alice, starting to get worried.
“Declare your destructor. You must have a destructor. Everything that is constructed should be destroyed; it’s only natural. Furthermore, if you are ever not quite what you seem, you should declare yourself to be virtual.”
“A rule to remember!” roared the Red Queen. “Never make a mess without cleaning it up first.”
“You can ignore her,” whispered the Dormouse, picking up the tea cake Alice had just set aside, “but you shouldn’t cast away const
so lightly.”
Alice began to feel that this new world she found herself in was not quite the same as the cozy sitting room she had just left.

Given a class named Car
containing three properties: the Int
property year
, the String
property make
, and the Int
property speed
.
Add the following member functions to the class:
accelerate
adds 5 to the speed
property each time it's called;decelerate
subtracts 5 from the speed
property each time it's called. The speed cannot be less than zero, so if you get a negative speed, just make it equal to 0.


rtabulate
provides a number of methods to compute rtable
tables. The idea behind rtabulate
is to have a similar function to tapply
which returns rtables instead of lists or vectors. For example, for the iris data we might be interested in the average Sepal.Length
for each Species
which can be answered with tapply
as follows:
## setosa versicolor virginica
## 5.006 5.936 6.588
and to get the same numbers with rtabulate
we can run
rtabulate(x = Sepal.Length, col_by = Species, FUN = mean)
## setosa versicolor virginica
## ----------------------------------------------------------
## mean 5.006 5.936 6.588
Because rtables also provide formatting options we can pass that info to rtabulate
rtabulate(x = Sepal.Length, col_by = Species, FUN = mean, format = "xx.xx")
## setosa versicolor virginica
## ----------------------------------------------------------
## mean 5.01 5.94 6.59
This vignette will provide an overview of rtabulate
and show how different types of tables can be derived with it.
The tabulation methods follow the split apply combine pattern. That is, for a vector x
, a factor col_by
, and a function FUN
the steps are:
x
by col_by
x_s <- split(x, col_by)
apply the function FUN
to each element, e.g. FUN(x_s[[1]])
, FUN(x_s[[2]])
, etc…, which either should return an rcell
or a data structure that gets wrapped into an rcell
combine the rcells to an rrow and create an rtable with a header according to the levels of col_by
If x
should not be split, i.e. all should be taken, then the by_all
function can be used to specify a column name (as the returned object is still an rtable with one column):
## All Data
## -------------------
## sum 876.5
rtabulate.numeric
returns an rtable
with one row and columns according to the levels of col_by
.
rtabulate(x = Sepal.Length, col_by = Species, FUN = median)
## setosa versicolor virginica
## ------------------------------------------------------------
## median 5 5.9 6.5
Like rtabulate.numeric
, rtabulate.logical
returns an rtable with one row and columns according to the levels of col_by
.
is_SL_below_avg <- Sepal.Length < mean(Sepal.Length)
rtabulate(x = is_SL_below_avg, col_by = Species, row.name = "count (percentage)")
## setosa versicolor virginica
## ------------------------------------------------------------------------
## count (percentage) 50 24 6
By default FUN=function(x) sum(x) * c(1, 1/length(x))
.
rtabulate.factor
returns an rtable
with one row per factor level of x
.
rtabulate(x = esoph$agegp, col_by = esoph$alcgp)
## 0-39g/day 40-79 80-119 120+
## -------------------------------------------------------------------------
## 25-34 4 4 3 4
## 35-44 4 4 4 3
## 45-54 4 4 4 4
## 55-64 4 4 4 4
## 65-74 4 3 4 4
## 75+ 3 4 2 2
rtabulate.data.frame
has a data.frame
as x
argument and the col_by
and row_by
need to specify how to split the data for the table rows and columns. The argument to FUN
is then a subset of x
that is associated with a particular table cell. Let’s look at the CO2
dataset:
head(CO2)
## Plant Type Treatment conc uptake
## 1 Qn1 Quebec nonchilled 95 16.0
## 2 Qn1 Quebec nonchilled 175 30.4
## 3 Qn1 Quebec nonchilled 250 34.8
## 4 Qn1 Quebec nonchilled 350 37.2
## 5 Qn1 Quebec nonchilled 500 35.3
## 6 Qn1 Quebec nonchilled 675 39.2
Say we want to calculate the total uptake
for each Type
and Treatment
## nonchilled chilled
## -----------------------------------------------
## Quebec 742 666.8
## Mississippi 545 332.1
The arguments passed to the elipsis ...
in rtabulate
are optional arguments to FUN
. This is the same behaviour as for the arguments passed to ...
in lapply
and tapply
. This is useful, for example, when passing the na.rm
argument to mean
x <- c(1, 2, 3, NA, 3, 2)
cb <- factor(c("A", "B", "A", "B", "B", "A"))
rtabulate(x, cb, mean, na.rm = TRUE)
## A B
## --------------------------
## mean 2 2.5
Often, howewer, it is also useful to iterate over multiple collections as for example is the case with the ...
in mapply
and Map
. That is, given a collection x
and y
with each p
elements, then we would like to evaluate FUN(x[i], y[i])
for i
in 1
to p
. In rtabulate
this can be achieved with the collections wrapped in a named list and passed to the col_wise_args
. For example:
x <- c(1, 2, 3, NA, 3, 2)
cb <- factor(c("A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "A"), levels = c("A", "B"))
tbl <- rtabulate(x, cb, FUN = function(xi, na.rm, N) {
list(mean(xi, na.rm=na.rm), N)
}, na.rm = TRUE, col_wise_args = list(N = table(cb)), row.name = "mean, N")
tbl
## A B
## -------------------------------
## mean, N 2, 4 3, 2
Note that format=NULL
is equivalent to paste(x, collapse = ", ")
on the cell data structure.
In order to add a (N=xx)
type of row to the header we can add header_add_N
function:
header_add_N(tbl, table(cb))
## A B
## (N=4) (N=2)
## ---------------------------------
## mean, N 2, 4 3, 2

A VERY BRADY SEQUEL A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1996 Scott Renshaw
Starring: Shelley Long, Gary Cole, Tim Matheson, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Christine Taylor, Jennifer Elise Cox, Paul Sutera, Jesse Lee, Olivia Hack. Screenplay: Harry Elfont, Deborah Kaplan, James Berg, Stan Zimmerman. Director: Arlene Sanford. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Seventy-nine weeks -- count them, seventy-nine -- is all that separates the release of A VERY BRADY SEQUEL from THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE, in what has to rank as one of the fastest sequel turnarounds in film history. Even taking into account the fact that the Brady house sets and Alice's uniform were already available, that's a tidy 18 months for writing the script, pre-production, shooting and post-production. You might expect a rather perfunctory piece of film-making given those circumstances, and you would find it. A VERY BRADY SEQUEL has some cute moments, but it is lacking the sense of direction which made THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE such a guilty pleasure.
The sequel finds all the BRADY cast members (except for David Graf as Sam the butcher) exactly where we left them at the end of the last movie, happily stuck in the 1970s while the world around them spins a quarter century faster. All seems typically groovy for Mike (Gary Cole), Carol (Shelley Long) and the clan until they receive a visit from a man who says he is Roy Martin (Tim Matheson)...Carol's first husband, a globe-trotting archaeologist lost and presumed dead many years earlier. This throws the household into turmoil. Carol and Mike are confused over how to deal with this news, Greg (Christopher Daniel Barnes) and Marcia (Christine Taylor) are confused over feelings about each other, and Jan (Jennifer Elise Cox)...well, as usual, she's just confused. But all of them should be more concerned about Roy, who primarily seems concerned about the whereabouts of a horse statue which could be worth a fortune.
THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE arrived in the middle of a slew of T.V.-to-film re-treads, so it was easy to overlook the fact that there was actually a point to it besides gratuitous nostalgia. Even as the film made referrence to "classic" Brady plots, it also provided the wonderful conceit of sealing the Bradys in a bubble of obliviousness while time had marched on for everyone else, and it made for a genuinely entertaining remembrance of a simpler time with simpler problems. A VERY BRADY SEQUEL misses the boat on both counts. There isn't nearly enough juxtaposition between the Bradys and the modern world; most of the film seems to take place in the Brady house, with only a sarcastic Matheson to react. There is one funny bit in which Mike speaks to a police detective ("Homicide's" Richard Belzer) in a police station where everything around him is filmed in the unsteady hand-held style of modern crime dramas, while Mike himself is an island of stable serenity. Too often, however, the Bradys end up interacting just with each other, repeating 70s catch phrases and mimicking their television counterparts.
As for the echoes of the original series, the most memorable were already used in the first film. We do get a detailed re-creation of Jan's imaginary boyfriend George Glass, and token references to other episodes like the Hawaiian vacation shows (don't be fooled by ads which make it look like the entire film is set in Hawaii; the Bradys don't hit the islands until about twenty minutes remain), but A VERY BRADY SEQUEL doesn't provide the same warmth of familiarity. Instead, it spends a lot of time playing with sexual tension between Greg and Marcia as the realization that they aren't _really_ related puts interesting ideas in their heads. There are a few solid laughs in that sub-plot, but unfortunately it underlines an over-reliance on sexual double-entendre of a staggering obviousness. I suppose a limited time frame to work on a script can make you leap for the easy gag.
Still, A VERY BRADY SEQUEL does have the same superb cast to draw on, and they make for a film which seems more creative than it actually is. Jennifer Elise Cox again has the showcase role of neglected middle child Jan, and dumping her psychotic "inner voice" makes her desperation for attention a bit more fun. Gary Cole is also priceless -- it's hard to imagine a more convincingly earnest square, or someone else delivering a line like, "So what are your plans now that you're alive?" as though it almost made sense. A VERY BRADY SEQUEL is occasionally cute, directed competently by Arlene Sanford, but it's rarely clever. Someone had an idea in mind when they made the first film, and that's true of the sequel as well. It's just that the idea this time was closer to, "Let's get this thing out there while the kids still look like kids."
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 retro actions: 5.

PULP FICTION A film review by Nizam U. Ahmed Copyright 1995 Nizam U. Ahmed
Don't believe the hype. Quentin Tarantino's loud, brash and supercool crime pic is certainly entertaining and a real crowd-pleaser, but no way is the cult reputatation that has built up around it deserved.
Tarantino is now being hailed as the catalyst of a new wave of motion picture director: cine-literate, streetwise and able to meld the best elements of popular culture with the film-making craft of the auteurs. Erm, excuse me, but hasn't his been said about every new "shining star" whenever a debut feature is critically acclaimed? Making entertaining, violent films is certainly not a monopoly for Tarantino: the Joel Silver bandwagon has been doing exactly that throughout the eighties. Having a grip on popular culture is also hardly a great achievement. Is there some reason why mentioning McDonalds and Pop Tarts in a script makes it suddenly profound? Worst of all, a band of pseudo-intellectuals obviously weened on the MODERN REVIEW, Julie Burchill and Tony Parsons, have acclaimed it as a masterpiece. Hypocritically, they heap abuse on FORREST GUMP for being too populist, yet PULP FICTION only exists to please a slightly-more-cynical market segment.
Right from the start, Tarantino throws every movie trick in the book at you. Hey, let's start with a scene from the end of the film, and muddle up the time sequence of the stories--the senile film reviewers love all that stuff! Let's have nice, slow camera movements and an anally retentive ultra-detailed look at everything our two hitmen protagonists get up to. They spend seemingly hours in the car on the way to their first job, spouting their supposedly brilliantly witty dialogue. It seems to have been overlooked that half this dialogue is muffled and is barely audible, and the other half is not particularly amusing or interesting anyway.  So what? Why should the audience be in the slightest bit interested in the boring chatter of Butch and Fabienne, or in Butch's dress sense? The film is peppered with these long, drawn-out showcases for Mr Tarantino's god-like gift for dialogue....
There *is* fun to be had however. Tarantino's overblown pretentious directing style is extremely annoying, he seems to believe the press he has been receiving, which as we all know signals the death of talent. The essential storylines are good, simple tales with plenty of black humour for those with sick minds. The entire cast performs well, signifying one of Tarantino's rare strengths, coaxing good performances from everyone on set. Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta shine as Jules and Vince. There are enough gunshots, fights and blood to please all action-lovers, and a supreme scene of humiliation and then revenge involving Butch and Mr. Big Marsellus in a hee-haw gunshop. The final sequence is not as powerful as Tarantino would want, but there is certainly plenty of fun on the way.
So no way is this An Artistic Triumph, or indeed, one of the best films of the 90's. It is simply an entertainment that provides its fair share of laughs, groans and cheers, but has ideas above it's station: a "pulp" film as the title suggests that thinks it can become a "classic." Sadly, it can't, and Quentin Tarantino's attempts to hide its flaws through quirkiness and a 90's feel, while fooling many people, left me unsatisfied.
Overall Rating: 70 %

My name is Meilin Zeng. Last semester, I had the honor to represent Arizona State University at the Fall Leadership Conference, where Enactus teams from all over the US will be networking, collaborating, sharing best practices. I went to Riverside, California with other five members. Our workshops included training on leadership development, patent law, nonprofits and much more. And we also attended an exclusive Enactus Career Fair, where I learned what quality I should have to get a job in US. It is the start point of vibrant activities I have taken at ASU. Being freer and enrolling more organizations, I found it was very different from the activities in China. I believe I can benefit more from ASU’s activities in the future.

WiFi phones: look, will you just forget about hotspots?: "Consequently, business models around VoWLAN will only work in those places where there's already high usage, where lots of costs can be saved - in the home, or at work. Saving 2.7 cents twice a week when calling outbound from Starbucks doesn't make a viable business for anyone. Hotspots might come later, but for now, they're not where the dual-mode action is."

An ordinary work day,
I’m adding a feature to our JavaScript driven tables so it can pull/push data while navigating between the pages(I belive in common tongue they call this "pagination").
I wrote two functions named retrieveItems
and drawItems
. As I’m building the retrieveItemsAndDraw
function, this is what I find myself writing:
const retrieveAndDrawItems = R.compose(drawItems, retrieveItems)
At that time one of the guys in my team creep up behind me and ask what I’m up to, and what that line does. "Simple!" I answer, "It’s just myCompose = fs ⇒ x0 ⇒ fs.reverse().reduce((x, f) ⇒ f(x), x0)
~".
But that answer isn’t correct. And compose
(or function composition) as simple as it may be is a fundamental concept and need to be understood and explained properly.
This text has been written for the sake of myCompose
; to understand it and to explain it in detail.
Composing functions
Do you remember function composition from mathematics? It’s when you join multiple functions together to create a new one. Joining, or compose or composability is the bread and butter of functional programming in achieving modularity.
f(x) = x + 2 g(x) = x * 3 (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = (3 * x) + 2
f = x => x + 2
g = x => x * 3
fog = x => f(g(x))
Building the compose function
My next step is to write a generic compose function; a function that takes two functions and joins them; but first I would like to be able to describe the inputs and outputs of those functions so I can argue about how they can be joined together.
In functional languages, function signatures resemble that of Haskell:
-
string → int
: A function. Takesstring
and returnsint
-
f :: string → int
: The function namedf
takesstring
and returnsint
-
int → int → int
: A function that takes 2 integers and returns one integer -
indexOf: [string] → int
: a function namedindexOf
that takesstring
list and returns anint
-
find :: ['a] → Maybe 'a
: a function that takes a list of a generic type(a
), and returns aMaybe
container with a value of that same type (a
) in it
Being able to read function signatures will help me argue about which functions I can compose together and how. Lets return to a a simple composition example to see how:
f = x => x + 2
g = x => x * 3
fog = x => f(g(x))
If I know what type inputs and outputs f
and g
have, then I can know what their composition will input and output:
f :: 'a -> 'b g :: 'b -> 'c fog :: 'a -> 'c
Or to give more concrete examples:
//myParseInt :: string -> int
myParseInt = parseInt (1)
//indexOf :: 'a -> ['a] -> int
indexOf = x => xs => xs.indexOf(x)
//increment :: int -> int
increment = x => x + 1
//uppercase :: string -> string
uppercase = x => x.toUpperCase()
// cities :: [string]
cities = ["ANKARA", "ISTANBUL", "KAYSERI"]
// indexOfCity :: string -> int
indexOfCity = x => indexOf(uppercase(x)) (2)
| 1 | parseInt would return NaN for things that it cannot parse into numbers, but lets ignore that for the moment |
| 2 | the function indexOfCity is indexOf and uppercase put together. As in the case of (fog)(x) but with indexOf in the place of f , uppercase in the place of g . |
Similarly, we can see uppercase(myParseInt("4"))
is faulty but increment(myParseInt("4"))
is not.
As I said, splitting a problem into functions and creating solutions that are composed of those functions is the basic functional approach to programming. Which is why in Haskell
to compose two functions into one is as easy as typing .
:
indexOfCity = (indexOf . uppercase)
In JavaScript however we have to roll our own:
//compose :: (('b -> 'c), ('a -> 'b)) -> 'a -> 'c (1)
compose = (f, g) => x => f(g(x))
f = x + 2
g = x * 3
fog = compose(f, g)
| 1 | If that is looking complicated I suggest you pause and wait till it clicks until you proceed further |
In fact, if I did the same in OCaml and queried the type of compose
I would get:
|
In OCaml to call a function named Operators like
But in OCaml the pipe operator (
There is also a proposition to have the |
In Kakoune, the command :lsp-hover can show me the signature of whatever my cursor is on
|
A general purpose compose method
Sometimes I feel like composing more than two functions together. In JavaScript this is also trivial to accomplish:
compose = fs => x0 => (fs (1)
.reverse() (2)
.reduce((x, f) => f(x), x0)
)
| 1 | I could have got variable number of arguments instead of an array by declaring the function as compose = (…fs) ⇒ … |
| 2 | Because compose([f, g])(x) means f(g(x)) , not g(f(x)) ; I reverse the list. reduce would iterate over the list from the beginning to the end. |
Did anyone else have their spider senses tingling after reading the compose
function above?
The compose above DOES NOT WORK
|
But why does it not work?
const f = x => x + 2
const g = x => x * 3
const h = x => x * x
const hfg = compose([h, f, g])
hfg(5) // 289
hfg(5) // 81
hfg(5) // 289
hfg(5) // 81
//And it continues forever in the same pattern
Have you realized that hfg
does h(g(f(x)))
first, and f(g(h(x)))
after?
Immutability
const f = x => x + 2
const g = x => x * 3
const h = x => x * x
const funs = [h, f, g]
const hfg = compose(funs)
hfg(5) //result 289
console.log(funs) // [ [Function: g], [Function: f], [Function: h] ]
hfg(5) //result 81
console.log(funs) // [ [Function: h], [Function: f], [Function: g] ]
hfg(5) //result 289
Is it obvious yet?
The reverse
method of Array
modifies the array it is called on.
So it turns out reverse
is mutative.
Mutative Function
Mutative function simply does what its name suggests; it may mutate the program state
To get into what state is I believe it’s best to know what a pure function is.
In Ruby the mutative functions have a ! at the end of their names. If a function is named reverse! instead of reverse you very well know that it modifies something somewhere.
|
Pure Function
In mathematics (if you remember) a function is just a relation between two sets.
Lets call this function fab
and write it in JavaScript:
const A2B = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 2 }
fab = x => A2B[x]
Like how fab
maps A to B, f(x) = 2x + 3
is a function that maps natural numbers to natural numbers.
f(x) = 2x + 3
function mapping Z to ZFunctions like fab
and f(x) = 2x + 3
that only map one set to the other are called pure . The definition pure function may make more sense knowing what a side effect is:
Side Effect
Lets say our fab
method does not only map A to B, it does more; it renders a text in a webpage:
fabAndEdit = x => {
document.querySelector("#text").innerHTML = x
return A2B[x]
}
Like the setting of innerHTML
, any effect that is not a mapping of an input to an output is called a side effect.
You can also think of a side effect as anything that changes the program state.
State is the state of a program or a computer. For example when you press a button on your keyboard, you change the state of your computer from a computer to a computer-that-has-a-button-pressed. If you modify a textbox the state of the program is changed, something writes in that textbox that didn’t write before; if a different piece of code were to read the value of that textbox after it has been modified it will find a different value than it would before.
-
Functions that don’t modify the state are called pure functions.
-
If a function is modifying the state that modification is called a side effect.
-
Pure functions don’t have side effects. Functions that have side effects are not pure.
-
Pure functions always give the same result for the same input no matter when they are called.
-
Mutative functions have side effects. Mutative functions are not pure.
The Mental Overhead of Mutative Functions
The number of objects an average human can hold in working memory is 7±2
The Magical Number Seven
Our mental capacity is not limitless; and if you are like me you’re listening to a podcast with one ear, while the other ear is focused on the sounds coming from the meeting room to check if anyone is saying anything about you; while you’re writing code.
In addition for every function in your code, instead of having to ponder if and how they’re modifying the program state, how they’re modifying the global variables, if they overwrote your function arguments; if you wrote them pure, if you limited their side effects (if any) it would make your code more maintainable (then again, there is no program that doesn’t have side effects; what’s the point of a program if it doesn’t take an input and it doesn’t produce an output. We could even get philosophical and argue that if we can’t see the output of a program, it does not exist).
|
Side effects can be purified by making them lazy. Let me explain what that means… If a function doesn’t produce its output immediately, if the result is delayed until the moment it is needed that function is called lazy. Haskell, for example, is an inherently lazy language. In OCaml we can have lazy values by declaring them
On the other hand An all-purpose solution for things lazy would be:
|
Mutability, Immutability
A term that goes hand-in-hand with "mutative". Compare the behaviour of the Array in JavaScript to that of ImmutableArray
While push
method of Array modifies values, the push
method in ImmutableArray
doesn’t. Data types like ImmutableArray that protect their states are called immutable. Immutable values also encourage purification of the functions they are used in
|
In functional languages you don’t have to struggle to achieve immutable values; they are supported natively. For example in OCaml the concept of variable doesn’t exist. To think about it the name "variable" in mathematics actually contradicts with what it actually is; you can’t declare In OCaml once you say For records: ocaml mutable records
If you too want to write code with immutable values but having your JavaScript focused team switch to OCaml is out of the picture, you may want to try immutableJS: a library that provides immutable implementations of many collection data types If your answer is "thanks but no thanks" then I can only wish you luck with your endless |
Uhm, Conclusion?
In conclusion we have a working compose
method:
reverseList = l => l.slice().reverse()
compose = (...fs) => x0 => reverseList(fs).reduce((x, f) => f(x), x0)
Of course the kid that asked me what R.compose
does has long gone… He didn’t stick around to listet to my storytelling. That’s OK though, I’ll mansplain to him tomorrow continuing from where we left off…

function Find(const S: WideString; MatchCase: boolean): boolean;
function FindEx(const S: WideString; MatchCase, Reverse: boolean): boolean;
Use the FindEx method for new programs. The Find method exists for backwards compatibility only.
The FindEx method searches through the HTML document for the string, S, returning True if the string is found. If MatchCase is True, a case sensitive search is made. If Reverse is True, the search is made in the reverse direction.
Text is searched starting at the current caret position. As each match is found, the text is highlighted, and the caret is placed at the further end of the matched string.
Note that in many cases, the caret will not be visible. However, it is still possible to place the virtual caret at any position by left clicking with the mouse.
To make the caret visible, see the htOptions and fvOptions propeties.

Java provides the Date class available in java.util package, this class encapsulates the current date and time.
The Date class supports two constructors as shown in the following table.
| Sr.No. | Constructor & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Date( ) This constructor initializes the object with the current date and time. |
| 2 | Date(long millisec) This constructor accepts an argument that equals the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970. |
Following are the methods of the date class.
| Sr.No. | Method & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | boolean after(Date date) Returns true if the invoking Date object contains a date that is later than the one specified by date, otherwise, it returns false. |
| 2 | boolean before(Date date) Returns true if the invoking Date object contains a date that is earlier than the one specified by date, otherwise, it returns false. |
| 3 | Object clone( ) Duplicates the invoking Date object. |
| 4 | int compareTo(Date date) Compares the value of the invoking object with that of date. Returns 0 if the values are equal. Returns a negative value if the invoking object is earlier than date. Returns a positive value if the invoking object is later than date. |
| 5 | int compareTo(Object obj) Operates identically to compareTo(Date) if obj is of class Date. Otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException. |
| 6 | boolean equals(Object date) Returns true if the invoking Date object contains the same time and date as the one specified by date, otherwise, it returns false. |
| 7 | long getTime( ) Returns the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970. |
| 8 | int hashCode( ) Returns a hash code for the invoking object. |
| 9 | void setTime(long time) Sets the time and date as specified by time, which represents an elapsed time in milliseconds from midnight, January 1, 1970. |
| 10 | String toString( ) Converts the invoking Date object into a string and returns the result. |
This is a very easy method to get current date and time in Java. You can use a simple Date object with toString() method to print the current date and time as follows −
import java.util.Date; public class DateDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // Instantiate a Date object Date date = new Date(); // display time and date using toString() System.out.println(date.toString()); } }
This will produce the following result −
on May 04 09:51:52 CDT 2009
Following are the three ways to compare two dates −
You can use getTime( ) to obtain the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970, for both objects and then compare these two values.
You can use the methods before( ), after( ), and equals( ). Because the 12th of the month comes before the 18th, for example, new Date(99, 2, 12).before(new Date (99, 2, 18)) returns true.
You can use the compareTo( ) method, which is defined by the Comparable interface and implemented by Date.
SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner. SimpleDateFormat allows you to start by choosing any user-defined patterns for date-time formatting.
import java.util.*; import java.text.*; public class DateDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { Date dNow = new Date( ); SimpleDateFormat ft = new SimpleDateFormat ("E yyyy.MM.dd 'at' hh:mm:ss a zzz"); System.out.println("Current Date: " + ft.format(dNow)); } }
This will produce the following result −
Current Date: Sun 2004.07.18 at 04:14:09 PM PDT
To specify the time format, use a time pattern string. In this pattern, all ASCII letters are reserved as pattern letters, which are defined as the following −
| Character | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| G | Era designator | AD |
| y | Year in four digits | 2001 |
| M | Month in year | July or 07 |
| d | Day in month | 10 |
| h | Hour in A.M./P.M. (1~12) | 12 |
| H | Hour in day (0~23) | 22 |
| m | Minute in hour | 30 |
| s | Second in minute | 55 |
| S | Millisecond | 234 |
| E | Day in week | Tuesday |
| D | Day in year | 360 |
| F | Day of week in month | 2 (second Wed. in July) |
| w | Week in year | 40 |
| W | Week in month | 1 |
| a | A.M./P.M. marker | PM |
| k | Hour in day (1~24) | 24 |
| K | Hour in A.M./P.M. (0~11) | 10 |
| z | Time zone | Eastern Standard Time |
| ' | Escape for text | Delimiter |
| " | Single quote | ` |
Date and time formatting can be done very easily using printf method. You use a two-letter format, starting with t and ending in one of the letters of the table as shown in the following code.
import java.util.Date; public class DateDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // Instantiate a Date object Date date = new Date(); // display time and date String str = String.format("Current Date/Time : %tc", date ); System.out.printf(str); } }
This will produce the following result −
Current Date/Time : Sat Dec 15 16:37:57 MST 2012
It would be a bit silly if you had to supply the date multiple times to format each part. For that reason, a format string can indicate the index of the argument to be formatted.
The index must immediately follow the % and it must be terminated by a $.
import java.util.Date; public class DateDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // Instantiate a Date object Date date = new Date(); // display time and date System.out.printf("%1$s %2$tB %2$td, %2$tY", "Due date:", date); } }
This will produce the following result −
Due date: February 09, 2004
Alternatively, you can use the < flag. It indicates that the same argument as in the preceding format specification should be used again.
import java.util.Date; public class DateDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // Instantiate a Date object Date date = new Date(); // display formatted date System.out.printf("%s %tB %<te, %<tY", "Due date:", date); } }
This will produce the following result −
Due date: February 09, 2004
| Character | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| c | Complete date and time | Mon May 04 09:51:52 CDT 2009 |
| F | ISO 8601 date | 2004-02-09 |
| D | U.S. formatted date (month/day/year) | 02/09/2004 |
| T | 24-hour time | 18:05:19 |
| r | 12-hour time | 06:05:19 pm |

There are other useful classes related to Date and time. For more details, you can refer to Java Standard documentation.
The SimpleDateFormat class has some additional methods, notably parse( ), which tries to parse a string according to the format stored in the given SimpleDateFormat object.
import java.util.*; import java.text.*; public class DateDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { SimpleDateFormat ft = new SimpleDateFormat ("yyyy-MM-dd"); String input = args.length == 0 ? "1818-11-11" : args[0]; System.out.print(input + " Parses as "); Date t; try { t = ft.parse(input); System.out.println(t); }catch (ParseException e) { System.out.println("Unparseable using " + ft); } } }
A sample run of the above program would produce the following result −
1818-11-11 Parses as Wed Nov 11 00:00:00 EST 1818
You can sleep for any period of time from one millisecond up to the lifetime of your computer. For example, the following program would sleep for 3 seconds −
import java.util.*; public class SleepDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { try { System.out.println(new Date( ) + "\n"); Thread.sleep(5*60*10); System.out.println(new Date( ) + "\n"); }catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Got an exception!"); } } }
This will produce the following result −
Sun May 03 18:04:41 GMT 2009 Sun May 03 18:04:51 GMT 2009
Sometimes, you may need to measure point in time in milliseconds. So let's re-write the above example once again −
import java.util.*; public class DiffDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { try { long start = System.currentTimeMillis( ); System.out.println(new Date( ) + "\n"); Thread.sleep(5*60*10); System.out.println(new Date( ) + "\n"); long end = System.currentTimeMillis( ); long diff = end - start; System.out.println("Difference is : " + diff); }catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Got an exception!"); } } }
This will produce the following result −
Sun May 03 18:16:51 GMT 2009 Sun May 03 18:16:57 GMT 2009 Difference is : 5993
GregorianCalendar is a concrete implementation of a Calendar class that implements the normal Gregorian calendar with which you are familiar. We did not discuss Calendar class in this tutorial, you can look up standard Java documentation for this.
The getInstance( ) method of Calendar returns a GregorianCalendar initialized with the current date and time in the default locale and time zone. GregorianCalendar defines two fields: AD and BC. These represent the two eras defined by the Gregorian calendar.
There are also several constructors for GregorianCalendar objects −
| Sr.No. | Constructor & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | GregorianCalendar() Constructs a default GregorianCalendar using the current time in the default time zone with the default locale. |
| 2 | GregorianCalendar(int year, int month, int date) Constructs a GregorianCalendar with the given date set in the default time zone with the default locale. |
| 3 | GregorianCalendar(int year, int month, int date, int hour, int minute) Constructs a GregorianCalendar with the given date and time set for the default time zone with the default locale. |
| 4 | GregorianCalendar(int year, int month, int date, int hour, int minute, int second) Constructs a GregorianCalendar with the given date and time set for the default time zone with the default locale. |
| 5 | GregorianCalendar(Locale aLocale) Constructs a GregorianCalendar based on the current time in the default time zone with the given locale. |
| 6 | GregorianCalendar(TimeZone zone) Constructs a GregorianCalendar based on the current time in the given time zone with the default locale. |
| 7 | GregorianCalendar(TimeZone zone, Locale aLocale) Constructs a GregorianCalendar based on the current time in the given time zone with the given locale. |
Here is the list of few useful support methods provided by GregorianCalendar class −
| Sr.No. | Method & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | void add(int field, int amount) Adds the specified (signed) amount of time to the given time field, based on the calendar's rules. |
| 2 | protected void computeFields() Converts UTC as milliseconds to time field values. |
| 3 | protected void computeTime() Overrides Calendar Converts time field values to UTC as milliseconds. |
| 4 | boolean equals(Object obj) Compares this GregorianCalendar to an object reference. |
| 5 | int get(int field) Gets the value for a given time field. |
| 6 | int getActualMaximum(int field) Returns the maximum value that this field could have, given the current date. |
| 7 | int getActualMinimum(int field) Returns the minimum value that this field could have, given the current date. |
| 8 | int getGreatestMinimum(int field) Returns highest minimum value for the given field if varies. |
| 9 | Date getGregorianChange() Gets the Gregorian Calendar change date. |
| 10 | int getLeastMaximum(int field) Returns lowest maximum value for the given field if varies. |
| 11 | int getMaximum(int field) Returns maximum value for the given field. |
| 12 | Date getTime() Gets this Calendar's current time. |
| 13 | long getTimeInMillis() Gets this Calendar's current time as a long. |
| 14 | TimeZone getTimeZone() Gets the time zone. |
| 15 | int getMinimum(int field) Returns minimum value for the given field. |
| 16 | int hashCode() Overrides hashCode. |
| 17 | boolean isLeapYear(int year) Determines if the given year is a leap year. |
| 18 | void roll(int field, boolean up) Adds or subtracts (up/down) a single unit of time on the given time field without changing larger fields. |
| 19 | void set(int field, int value) Sets the time field with the given value. |
| 20 | void set(int year, int month, int date) Sets the values for the fields year, month, and date. |
| 21 | void set(int year, int month, int date, int hour, int minute) Sets the values for the fields year, month, date, hour, and minute. |
| 22 | void set(int year, int month, int date, int hour, int minute, int second) Sets the values for the fields year, month, date, hour, minute, and second. |
| 23 | void setGregorianChange(Date date) Sets the GregorianCalendar change date. |
| 24 | void setTime(Date date) Sets this Calendar's current time with the given Date. |
| 25 | void setTimeInMillis(long millis) Sets this Calendar's current time from the given long value. |
| 26 | void setTimeZone(TimeZone value) Sets the time zone with the given time zone value. |
| 27 | String toString() Returns a string representation of this calendar. |
import java.util.*; public class GregorianCalendarDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { String months[] = {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"}; int year; // Create a Gregorian calendar initialized // with the current date and time in the // default locale and timezone. GregorianCalendar gcalendar = new GregorianCalendar(); // Display current time and date information. System.out.print("Date: "); System.out.print(months[gcalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)]); System.out.print(" " + gcalendar.get(Calendar.DATE) + " "); System.out.println(year = gcalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR)); System.out.print("Time: "); System.out.print(gcalendar.get(Calendar.HOUR) + ":"); System.out.print(gcalendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":"); System.out.println(gcalendar.get(Calendar.SECOND)); // Test if the current year is a leap year if(gcalendar.isLeapYear(year)) { System.out.println("The current year is a leap year"); }else { System.out.println("The current year is not a leap year"); } } }
This will produce the following result −
Date: Apr 22 2009 Time: 11:25:27 The current year is not a leap year
