I noticed that in PEP 3105, the PEP about turning print to print(),
the syntax for print() is defined as follows:
def print(*args, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None)
Ignoring the fact that print is a reserved keyword in python, this is
not valid python because extra positional arguments (*args), cannot
come before optional parameters (sep=' ', end='\n', file=None).
>>def f(*args, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None):
File "<stdin>", line 1
def f(*args, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Am I misunderstandin g something? Is this type of syntax suppose to be
allowed in a future version of Python? (I can't find anything about
this through my searching.) This kind of syntax seems useful,
especially one wants to overwrite the new function print().
Thanks,

You didn't search hard enough; it's three PEPs earlier: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3102/

Hey,
I've just noticed a somewhat annoying feature with PHP5 type hinting.
You cannot hint types on optional arguments like this:
class MyClass
{
function someFunc(Type1 $arg1, Type2 $arg2 = new Type2()) { }

Hi
I know how to set optional arguments in the function definition. Is there an
intrinsic function that determines if a certain argument was actually
passed ? Like the fortran 95 present() logical intrinsic ?
My required functionality depends on whether a certain argument is specified
at all. (Setting default values is *not* good enough.).
Thanks.

I have recently come across the following construction:

which can be invoked as follows:
int x = 1, y = 2 ;
char * str = "String" ;

Can anyone tell me what the rational is for not supporting optional
arguments.
It is obviously a trivial thing to implement and, since C++ has them, I
would not expect them to be omitted without a good reason.

I got a similar idea a couple of months ago, but now this one will require
no change to the clr, is relatively easy to implement and would be a great
addition to C# 3.0 :)
so here we go..
To make things simpler and better readable I'd make all default parameters
named parameters so that you can decide for yourself which one to pass and
which not, rather than relying on massively overlaoded methods which
hopefully provide the best...

When a call is made to a Sub or Function Procedure, you can supply Arguments in the exact order they appear in the Procedure's definition, or you can supply them in any position by name. To illustrate this point, I'll use a fictitious Function called fCalculateInterest() which accepts 3 Arguments (Currency, Single, and Long) and returns a value of type Currency.
Public Function fCalculateInterest(curPrincipal As Currency, sngRate As Single,...

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:

With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.
