i believe the "->" usually points to an object member function of an
instantiated object.

It says to apply the method importStyleShee t to the object $proc.
importStyleShee t must be a method of the class to which $proc belongs.

This is absolutely basic OO stuff - if you're not familiar with it, and
you need to understand or work on some code that uses it, you're going
need to read up on it.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php (PHP4) and
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php (PHP5) explain how PHP
does OO, but I haven't found anything in php.net that explains the
concepts of OO.

I thought it might be useful to put the recent lambda threads into perspective a bit. I was wondering what lambda gets used for in "real" code, so I grepped my Python Lib directory.

Does it mean "(sizeof(int))* (p)" or "sizeof( (int)(*p) )" ? According to my analysis, operator sizeof, (type) and * have the same precedence, and they combine from right to left. Then this expression should equal to "sizeof( (int)(*p) )", but the compiler does NOT think so. Why? Can anyone help me? Thanks. Best regards. Roy

Can we consider () unary operator when calling a function, in exps eq. f(), ( 1 + 2). But when we call function f( 10 ) it is a binary operator. Even if we pass f( 10, 20) as we are using , operator there one operand will be there for ()? And Unary operators like !, +, -, ~, ... are said to be having associativity right to left which means that we can write, (but not allowed) 1. 2! 2. !2

Hi, in TC++PL3 on page 665, regarding valarray member functions, it is mentioned: "valarray operator-() const; // result= -v for every element // similarly: +, ~, !" I checked the web and could not find anything that explains the need of this "operator+".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
