I have an array of JavaScript objects: var objs = [ { first_nom: 'Lazslo', last_nom: 'Jamf' }, { first_nom: 'Pig', last_nom: 'Bodine' }, { first_nom: 'Pirate', last_nom: 'Prentice' } ]; How can I sort them by the value of last_nom in JavaScript? I know about sort(a,b), but that only seems to work on strings and numbers. Do I need to add a toString() method to my objects? It's easy enough to writ..

I saw this question, but I didn't see a JavaScript specific example. Is there a simple string.Empty available in JavaScript, or is it just a case of checking for ""? If you just want to check whether there's a truthy value, you can do: if (strValue) { //do something } If you need to check specifically for an empty string over null, I would think checking against "" is your best bet, using the ==..

How do I select the element that is a direct parent of the anchor element? As an example, my CSS would be something like this: li < a.active { property: value; } Obviously there are ways of doing this with JavaScript, but I'm hoping that there is some sort of workaround that exists native to CSS Level 2. The menu that I am trying to style is being spewed out by a CMS, so I can't move the active ..

How can I view the change history of an individual file in Git, complete details with what has changed? I have got as far as: git log -- [filename] which shows me the commit history of the file, but how do I get at the content of each of the file changes? I'm trying to make the transition from Microsoft Visual SourceSafe and that used to be a simple right-click → Show history. For a graphical vi..

I know references are syntactic sugar, so code is easier to read and write. But what is the difference between a pointer variable and a reference variable? A pointer can be re-assigned: int x = 5; int y = 6; int *p; p = &x; p = &y; *p = 10; assert(x == 5); assert(y == 10); A reference cannot be re-bound, and must be bound at initialization: int x = 5; int y = 6; int &q; // error int &r = x; A po..

Until today, I thought that for example: i += j; Was just a shortcut for: i = i + j; But if we try this: int i = 5; long j = 8; Then i = i + j; will not compile but i += j; will compile fine. Does it mean that in fact i += j; is a shortcut for something like this i = (type of i) (i + j)? As always with these questions, the JLS holds the answer. In this case §15.26.2 Compound Assignment Operators..

I'd like to round at most 2 decimal places, but only if necessary. Input: 10 1.7777777 9.1 Output: 10 1.78 9.1 How can I do this in JavaScript? Use Math.round() : Math.round(num * 100) / 100 Or to be more specific and to ensure things like 1.005 round correctly, use Number.EPSILON : Math.round((num + Number.EPSILON) * 100) / 100 Brian Ustas If the value is a text type: parseFloat("123.456").toFi..

Is there a (Unix) shell script to format JSON in human-readable form? Basically, I want it to transform the following: { "foo": "lorem", "bar": "ipsum" } ... into something like this: { "foo": "lorem", "bar": "ipsum" } With Python 2.6+ you can do: echo '{"foo": "lorem", "bar": "ipsum"}' | python -m json.tool or, if the JSON is in a file, you can do: python -m json.tool my_json.json if the JSON i..

This question already has answers here: How do I efficiently iterate over each entry in a Java Map? (46 answers) Closed 1 year ago. What's the best way to iterate over the items in a HashMap? If you're only interested in the keys, you can iterate through the keySet() of the map: Map map = ...; for (String key : map.keySet()) { // ... } If you only need the values, use values(): for (Object value..
