java - Is this program already a parser? -


i've written program reads in java file including comments , outputs file without comments.

i consider both line comments // , block comments /* */. however, use files don't contain these 4 characters in other way: no string literals , no unicode escape sequences. works files use these characters exclusively comments. can programme called parser? grammar (either // , or /* , , */) regular, right?

i using switch case statements, i.e. implementing finite state machine. there's no tree built , no stack. thought program parser when deals context free languages , @ least has stack, i.e. implements pushdown automaton. have feeling term parser used rather freely.

to clarify: i'm not looking ways programme work java file, i'm interested in correct terminology.

no, removal of comments java code involves regular expression (a finite state automaton) , can't called "parser".... dfa (deterministic finite automaton) important component in programming language compiler because pre-processing such comment removal, identifier (variable/function/class names) identification can done dfas. in fact, compiler developers make use of lex tool (a dfa generator) implement programming language specific dfas, e.g. dfa comment identification in c , c++ different.

the next step generate intermediate code given high level code. 1 has make use of context-free grammars. common use shift-reduce parser build annotated parse tree code. common tool used task yacc.

c++ - Difference between pre and post decrement in recursive function argument -

i have following sample code used pre-decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(--c); cout << c << endl; return; } } this function give output input 4 : dp3 dp2 dp1 dp0 0 1 2 3 but when use post decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(c--); cout << c << endl; return; } } output goes in infinite loop dp4 can explain me in detail why happens ? this happens because function(c--) called same value of c , when finishes c decremented. recursively called, hence called same value no chance of return , hit stack overflow error. assume this, int x = 1, y = 0; y = x++ result y == 1 , x == 2. if y = ++x , bot x , y 2.

php - Nothing but 'run(); ' when browsing to my local project, how do I fix this? -

i added new project. made mistake in projectname.conf file in sites-available apache2, led me reinstalling apache2. after reinstalling , re-enabling projects on every page of every project .. <body> run(); </body> .. i've run composer update, restarted service, restarted pc, checked config files, tried disabling new project. there nothing in error log, , access.log: 127.0.0.1 - - [15/may/2015:01:40:47 +0200] "get / http/1.1" 304 181 "-" "mozilla/5.0 (x11; ubuntu; linux x86_64; rv:38.0) gecko/20100101 firefox/38.0" maybe i'm forgetting apache2 reinstall? don't think did different last time installed it. looks haven't setup php correctly. take @ this great guide , maybe you're forgetting link php config apache2.
