Is it right to use a private constant in the following situation: Say I have a game with a lives variable and a startingLives variable. At the start of the game I set the lives variable to equal the startingLives variable. This is how I would normally do it: private var lives:int =...
DO NOT USE QUOTE TO CREATE LISTS THAT YOU WILL LATER MODIFY. The spec allows the compiler to treat quoted lists as constants. Often, a compiler will optimize constants by creating a single value for them in memory and then referencing that single value from all locations where the constant ...

When you first start out programming iOS application, you’ll most likely notice the continued use of “delegates” throughout the SDK. The delegation pattern is not a pattern specific to iOS, but depending on what programming background you’ve had, it might not be immediately obvious as to...
8. When to use enums Since Java 5 release enums are the only preferred and recommended way to represent and dial with the fixed set of constants. Not only they are strongly-typed, they are extensible and supported by any modern library or framework. ...
this was the only thing I was doing, I chose to use unordered_map — which turned out to stab me in the back and lose me quite a bit of rating. Basically, my question is, during competitive programming, is there EVER a time in which I would want to use unordered_map instead of ...
Several formal statistical tests have been devised to determine if a value is an outlier, reviewed in [1]. If you have plenty of replicate points at each value of X, you could use such a test on each set of replicates to determine whether a value is a significant outlier from the rest...
