java - What is PECS (Producer Extends Consumer Super)? -

-

i came across pecs (short producer extends , consumer super) while reading on generics.

can explain me how use pecs resolve confusion between extends , super?

tl;dr: "pecs" collection's point of view. if only pulling items generic collection, producer , should use extends; if only stuffing items in, consumer , should use super. if both same collection, shouldn't use either extends or super.

suppose have method takes parameter collection of things, want more flexible accepting collection<thing>.

case 1: want go through collection , things each item.
list producer, should use collection<? extends thing>.

the reasoning collection<? extends thing> hold subtype of thing, , each element behave thing when perform operation. (you cannot add collection<? extends thing>, because cannot know @ runtime specific subtype of thing collection holds.)

case 2: want add things collection.
list consumer, should use collection<? super thing>.

the reasoning here unlike collection<? extends thing>, collection<? super thing> can hold thing no matter actual parameterized type is. here don't care in list long allow thing added; ? super thing guarantees.

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

php - Replacing tags in braces, even nested tags, with regex -

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
