arrays - How do I know what data type to use in Python? -

-

I'm working through Python on some tutorials and in a situation where I'm trying to decide What type of data / structure should I use in a fixed position.

I am not clear on the difference between arrays, lists, dictionaries and tuples.

How do you decide which is appropriate - let my current understanding distinguish between them - they seem to be the same thing.

What are the benefits / typical use cases for each one?

Tuples first. There are things like this list that can not be modified. Since the contents of the tupal can not change, you can use the topless as a key in a dictionary. This is the most useful place for them in my opinion. For example, if you have a list like object = ["Ford Pickup", 1993, 995] and you have a list with prices If you want to create a small memory database, you can do something like this: 

  ikey = tuple (item [0], object [1]) idata = item [2] db [ikey] = Idata   
 The list appears to be used in array or other programming languages ​​and usually for the same type of things in Python is. However, they are more flexible that you can keep a variety of things in the same list. Generally, this is the most flexible data structure because you can put the entire list in a list of any other list, but they can not be efficient enough for actual data crunching.  
  a = [1, "Fred", 7.3] b = [] b.append (1) b [0] = "fred" b.append (a) # second of B now Element is the full list  
 
 The dictionary is often done much like lists, but now you can use any irreversible thing as a dictionary. However, unlike lists, dictionaries Is not a natural order and can not be sorted in place. Of course you can create your own class, which includes a sorted list and a dictionary so that an arched dictionary can be treated as an example on the Python cookbook site. 
 
  c = {} d = ("ford pickup", 1993) c [d] = 9995  
 
 When you are crunching heavy duty data And if you do not want lists or lists of frames, the arrays are close to the bit level they are often not used outside of scientific applications. Leave them until you know for sure that you need them. 
 
 Lists and guides are the true workshops of Python data collection.

asp.net - Javascript/DOM Why is does my form not support submit()? -

This is my first time working with asp.net and javascript, so I do not know very good web resources, or Much about javascript debugging I have to find out that on line oFormObject.submit (); Microsoft JScript Runtime Error: Object does not support this property or method I am using the link to work as a button because I am terrible in aesthetics and I think That link will look more professional than a table of 50 buttons.

I am trying to implement one for Delphi, but there are some problems with communication. Fitnesse will start my process, and give me a portmember as a command line argument. Then I should make a socket on the port number given to me, and fitness will connect to that port I am using a TCPCP server for the job: < Pre> TcpServer1.LocalPort: = ParamStr (ParamCount); TcpServer1 Active: = true; On OnEXEPT () -Event, I send the protocol version to use as specified in the protocol. Process TForm1.TcpServer1Accept (From: TOBject; ClientSocket: TCustomIpClient); Var s: ansistring; Start clientSocket. Syndrome ('slim - v 0.0', # 10); SetLength (S, 6); ClientSketts Receavebook (S, 6); End; When I call ReceiveBuf (), the process ends, and fitness throws an exception: java.net.SocketException: connection Reset I have seen what sent and received. It shows that my code sends the protocol version, fitness sends back a message, and when I try to get this message

javascript - Classic ASP "ExecuteGlobal" statement acting differently on two servers -

-
I have a strange problem that I really do not know. In addition to developing a new ASP.NET site, I have to support the old "classic ASP" site. It is written in VBScript with a batch of JavaScript functions. Many of the JavaScript functions include 'files' Everything is fine on our production system (which security is controlled by another group - this is a military installation) Debugging them once did not work I). However, I have a fix for a vague bug that needs to be fully tested and some functions do not run under the "local" copy of the website that runs on my PC. For the record, I am running IIS 5.1 on XP. The problem is that some Javascript functions are running "OK" on the production server, but when they use it as a server, they are not defined on my PC what is happening that last Programmer, for some reason, has decided to put some functions in a series of files, which according to the observations, imitate the "need_once
