Using Timing function problem.....

Hi... I'm having a few problems here...
I want to input in my function different values and then time each one
to see how long it took to run the function... so right now it doesn't
like the "i" inside my function fibonacci(i) but if I put a constant
it's fine....
any idea on how to approach this?
thanks!
Jonathan

The Code:
=============== =============== =============== ==========

for i in (range(1,30)):
mytime1 = timeit.Timer( 'fibonacci(i)', 'from prl1 import
fibonacci' )
mytime2 = timeit.Timer( 'fibonacci(i)', 'from prl2 import
fibonacci' )

fib1 = mytime1.timeit( 1)
fib2 = mytime2.timeit( 1)

=============== =============== =============== ==========

The Error:
=============== =============== =============== ==========
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "prl3.py", line 23, in ?
fib1 = mytime1.timeit( 1)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/timeit.py", line 161, in timeit
timing = self.inner(it, self.timer)
File "<timeit-src>", line 6, in inner
NameError: global name 'i' is not defined
=============== =============== =============== ==========

You have to build the right *string* to be evaluated...
>for i in (range(1,30)):
mytime1 = timeit.Timer( 'fibonacci(i)', 'from prl1 import

for i in (range(1,30)):
mytime1 = timeit.Timer( 'fibonacci(%d)' % i, 'from prl1
import fibonacci' )

I have a quirky issue that I believe involves timing and only 2 hairs left to pull. I have a modal dialog that is an IFrame. The IFrame contains another window - which contains the appropriate title. I am trying to change the title of the IFrame window to be that of the contained window title. If I uncomment the alert statement below - the title change works. Comment out the alert - and - no title change.

I have a problem that I am hoping someone can help me with. First let me describe the problem. I have an HTML form that in one field has an onBlur call to a JavaScript function. When you exit the field, it calls the JavaScript routine, which in turn calls a PHP script. The PHP script runs returns the value needed. And returns to the JavaScript. The JavaScript function is then supposed to set alerts depending on the values returned from...

Below are 2 files that isolate the problem. Note, both programs hang (stop responding) with hyper-threading turned on (a BIOS setting), but work as expected with hyper-threading turned off. Note, the Windows task manager shows 2 CPUs on the Performance tab with hyper-threading is turned on. Both Python 2.3.5 and 2.4.3 (downloaded from python.org) have this problem. The operating system is MS Windows XP Professional.

The timeit module is ideal for measuring small code snippets; I want to measure large function objects. Because the timeit module takes the code snippet argument as a string, it is quite handy to use from the command line, but it is less convenient for timing large pieces of code or when working in the interactive interpreter. E.g. variations on this *don't* work: $ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jun 13 2006, 11:46:08)

Google apparently ate my original post to this (grr) so this'll be a bit more vague than the initial post, but...*sigh*. Javascript is not my forte, and I apologize for the acky-ness of the code. I'm working on a page for a travel company. There's way too much going on with it/on it, but I'm kind of stuck at this point - the client loves it, so I have to solve this problem.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
