procedural

In interpreted programming languages, such as PHP and JavaScript, what are the repercussions of going with an Object Oriented approach over a Procedural approach? Specifically what I am looking for is a checklist of things to consider when creating a web application and choosing between Procedural and Object Oriented approaches, to optimize not only for speed, but maintainability as well. Cited research and test cases would be helpful as well if you know of any articles exploring this further. Bottom line: how big (if any) is the performance hit really, when going with OO vs. Procedural in an

Is there any way of testing procedural code? I have been looking at PHPUnit which seems like a great way of creating automated tests. However, it seems to be geared towards object oriented code, are there any alternatives for procedural code? Or should I convert the website to object oriented before attempting to test the website? This may take a while which is a bit of a problem as I don't have a lot of time to waste. Thanks, Daniel. You can test procedural code with PHPUnit. Unit tests are not tied to object-oriented programming. They test units of code . In OO, a unit of code is a method.

I know this one has been covered before, and perhaps isn't the most pythonic way of constructing a class, but I have a lot of different maya node classes with a lot @properties for retrieving/setting node data, and I want to see if procedurally building the attributes cuts down on overhead/mantinence. I need to re-implement __setattr__ so that the standard behavior is maintained, but for certain special attributes, the value is get/set to an outside object. I have seen examples of re-implementing __setattr__ on stack overflow, but I seem to be missing something. I don't think i am maintaining

I am new to web Development, I am currently not using any frameworks. Till now, I was using mysqli_query($conn, $sql) to send a query to the MySQL server. Recently I read another technique which use $conn - > query($sql) . I know that $conn->query($sql) is the OOP way of sending query and mysqli_query($conn, $sql) is the procedural method. I haven't learned Object Oriented PHP yet However, I am going to learn it soon before moving onto a framework. Could someone tell me the advantages of using $conn->query($sql) over the mysqli_query($conn, $sql) ? Is it more secure? Is there something else to

Consider the following test-case: { CompilerVersion = 21 } procedure Global(); procedure Local(); begin end; type TProcedure = procedure (); var Proc: TProcedure; begin Proc := Local; { E2094 Local procedure/function 'Local' assigned to procedure variable } end; At line 13 compiler emits message with ERROR level, prohibiting all of the cases of such local procedures usage. "Official" resolution is to promote Local symbol to the outer scope (ie: make it a sibling of Global ) which would have negative impact on code "structuredness". I'm seeking the way to circumvent it in most graceful manner,

I'm attempting to generate infinite random terrain. The terrain should generate the same every time given the same seed. I've tried using Java's Random function, creating the seed using various functions of the x and y co-ordinates of the given node on the terrain grid. Such as x*y+x+y+seed, 20*x+30*y etc. The problem with this approach is that I always see clear patterns in the numbers generated. So basically what I want is: f(x,y) = Random Number It would be helpful if the above function could include a seed of some sort, making it: f(x,y,seed) = Random Number I will need to generate several
