A function of that nature can be called at any time, anywhere. jQuery (a library built on Javascript) has built in functions that generally required the DOM to be fully rendered before being called.

Mar 3, 2015 · 508 It's all about variable scoping. Variables declared in the self executing function are, by default, only available to code within the self executing function. This allows code to be written without concern of how variables are named in other blocks of JavaScript code. For example, as mentioned in a comment by Alexander:

Nov 25, 2014 · I have seen the use of %>% (percent greater than percent) function in some packages like dplyr and rvest. What does it mean? Is it a way to write closure blocks in R?

Dec 29, 2023 · The identifier __func__ is implicitly declared by the translator as if, immediately following the opening brace of each function definition, the declaration static const char __func__[] = "function-name"; appeared, where function-name is the name of the lexically-enclosing function. This name is the unadorned name of the function.

Note that these functions, unlike tryCatch(), are expected to wrap a function, not an expression, and they return a modified function. For OP's problem as stated, we would probably use possibly and wrap readLines directly to modify it.

May 5, 2009 · A callback function is a function which is: accessible by another function, and is invoked after the first function if that first function completes A nice way of imagining how a callback function works is that it is a function that is " called at the back " of the function it is passed into. Maybe a better name would be a "call after" function.

Jun 29, 2015 · The way to use it is to put a function definition in a header file with these keywords, and put another copy of the definition (lacking inline and extern) in a library file. The definition in the header file causes most calls to the function to be inlined. If any uses of the function remain, they refer to the single copy in the library.

May 14, 2010 · I am trying to return 2 values from a Java method but I get these errors. Here is my code: // Method code public static int something(){ int number1 = 1; int number2 = 2; return numbe...

May 8, 2009 · 356 Function pointers in C can be used to perform object-oriented programming in C. For example, the following lines is written in C: String s1 = newString(); s1->set(s1, "hello"); Yes, the -> and the lack of a new operator is a dead give away, but it sure seems to imply that we're setting the text of some String class to be "hello".

87 Instead of returning a resultsArray you return a promise for a results array and then then that on the call site - this has the added benefit of the caller knowing the function is performing asynchronous I/O. Coding concurrency in JavaScript is based on that - you might want to read this question to get a broader idea: function resultsByName ...
