I read in the glibc documentation that using 'static' in a function can
save the content of a variable.
So I want to use it to write a function that return the number of days
in one month. Since the days on one month are even the some, it could
be better to compute the array only one time. And so I did :
int nDaysOnMonth(in t month, int year){
static int i_dmonths[12];
i_dmonths[0] = i_dmonths[2] = i_dmonths[4] = i_dmonths[6] =
i_dmonths[7] = i_dmonths[9] = i_dmonths[11] = 31;
i_dmonths[3] = i_dmonths[5] = i_dmonths[8] = i_dmonths[10] = 30;
if(leapYear(yea r)) i_dmonths[1] = 29;
else i_dmonths[1] = 28;
return i_dmonths[month-1];
}
The function works but my doubt is if it remakes the array each time
that I call the function. If it's so, it's correct the use of a global
variable to understand if the function was initialized before or never.
For example :
bool isInit = false; // global var
int nDaysOnMonth(in t month, int year){
if(!isInit){
static int i_dmonths[12];
i_dmonths[0] = i_dmonths[2] = i_dmonths[4] = i_dmonths[6] =
i_dmonths[7] = i_dmonths[9] = i_dmonths[11] = 31;
i_dmonths[3] = i_dmonths[5] = i_dmonths[8] = i_dmonths[10] = 30;
} // end if (!isInit)
if(leapYear(yea r)) i_dmonths[1] = 29;
else i_dmonths[1] = 28;
return i_dmonths[month-1];
}
.... or the compiler could leave some error ?!
Another question is that I have some list with some events for days and
months and I want to stamp on screen a table with all events for one
month, for each months. So I thought to make a function that contains
an array of 31 list elements (one cell for day). This function will
called more times on the program. So I did something like :
void function_showTh isTable(int i_month, int i_year, other arguments
(LISTS)){
// DAYTABLE is a struct, the type of element on the lists...
DAYTABLE** tabs = calloc(31, sizeof(DAYTABLE *));
// etc...
}
1. Could I insert the static before DAYTABLE** (the table is ever of 31
elements, have I to realloc each time the space ?!), if yes hhave I to
use a 'global variable' to understand if the function was inizialized
one time ?!
2. The use of calloc assicure that each pointer (DAYTABLE*) will be
NULL at the initialization ?! ... or have I to do a loop to assign each
cell like NULL.
3. The compiler understands that I want to make an array of pointers or
could give some error if I try to go in some row like tabs[3] or
tabs[5] ?!
Thanks for any answer.

Yes, it does "remake" the whole thing every time you invoke it.

bool isInit = false; // global var int nDaysOnMonth(in t month, int year){ if(!isInit){ static int i_dmonths[12]; i_dmonths[0] = i_dmonths[2] = i_dmonths[4] = i_dmonths[6] = i_dmonths[7] = i_dmonths[9] = i_dmonths[11] = 31; i_dmonths[3] = i_dmonths[5] = i_dmonths[8] = i_dmonths[10] = 30; } // end if (!isInit) if(leapYear(yea r)) i_dmonths[1] = 29; else i_dmonths[1] = 28; return i_dmonths[month-1]; }
First point: if you're OK with isInit as a global, why don't you make
days-in-a-month array global as well. It's actually much better, as
isInit can mean too many different things, while number of days in a
month is hardly going to change on this planet (yes, I know it differs
for some here as well...).
There most likely are many better solutions to your problem but, why not:
int i_dmonths[] = {31, 28, /* fill in the others... */, 30, 31};
And then, whenever you get a new 'year', the first thing you do is:
if (leapYear(year) )
{
i_dmonths[1] = 29;
}
else
{
i_dmonths[1] = 28;
}
Or some-such...
In your solution, you'd have to call nDaysOnMonth() whenever year
changes anyway, so why not simplify it to the function with just the if
statement above? .... or the compiler could leave some error ?!
Didn't look for this...

So I thought to make a function that contains an array of 31 list elements (one cell for day). This function will called more times on the program. So I did something like :
Hopefully, someone else will look into this. I have a {l/w}ife to go
back to now... ;-) void function_showTh isTable(int i_month, int i_year, other arguments (LISTS)){ // DAYTABLE is a struct, the type of element on the lists... DAYTABLE** tabs = calloc(31, sizeof(DAYTABLE *)); // etc... }
1.

31 on any non-leap year. I guess he has as fast fingers, as I have

Why are there static methods in C#. In C++ static was applied to data only

Hi,
I find myself using static methods more than I probably should, so I am
looking for some advice on a better approach.
For example, I am writing an app that involves quite a bit of database
operations on purchase orders and inventory. I have created a PurchaseOrder
class and Inventory class to encapsulate operations like creating POs,
finding items, etc. These two classes are used extensively from different
parts of the app.

I see that static is more restricted in C# than in C++. It appears
usable only on classes and methods, and data members, but cannot be
created within a method itself. Surely this is possible in C# in some
way? Or maybe no, because it is similar to a global variable (with its
scope restricted) which C# is dead against?
