[Level 3] How to implement reflection in Python.

The Python Code:
#!/bin/env python
def f1():
  exec 'a=1'

def f2():
  exec 'global a; a=2'

def f3():
  print a

global a
a=0
f1()
f3()
f2()
f3()

The output is:
# /tmp/t.py 
0
2

As you can see,
The f1() function cannot modify global variable "a" successfully,
we can say that, exec is a fact function, and unless you declare a variable as a global variable,
or you just deal with a local variable. Like f1()
So if you want to deal with global variable,
please remember to declare it as the global variable first. Like f2()

Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang

[Level 1] Reversion of git

Just read an article mentioned about the reversions of git, so take a note here.

[Level 2] iif in Python

If you want to implement iif in Python, please refer to the following sample code: #!/bin/env python def iif(b): return 'It\'s True' if b else 'It\'s False' print iif(True) print iif(False) And the following sample, guess what will you get! #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' Result: $ ./iif.py b: Ture False The second result is "False", not "b: False". Why??? Because the prededence of string concatenation is higher than if. Therefore you need to use () to make it correct. #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % ('Ture' if b else 'False') Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang
