datetime - How to get the current date/time in Java -

-

what's best way current date/time?

it depends on form of date / time want:

  • if want date / time single numeric value, system.currenttimemillis() gives that, expressed number of milliseconds after unix epoch (as java long). value delta utc time-point, , independent of local time-zone ... assuming system clock has been set correctly.

  • if want date / time in form allows access components (year, month, etc) numerically, use 1 of following:

    • new date() gives date object initialized current date / time. problem date api methods flawed ... , deprecated.

    • calendar.getinstance() gives calendar object initialized current date / time, using default locale , timezone. other overloads allow use specific locale and/or timezone. calendar works ... apis still cumbersome.

    • new org.joda.time.datetime() gives joda-time object initialized current date / time, using default time zone , chronology. there lots of other joda alternatives ... many describe here.

    • in java 8, calling localdatetime.now() , zoneddatetime.now() give representations current date / time.

prior java 8, people know these things recommended joda-time having (by far) best java apis doing things involving time point , duration calculations. java 8, no longer true. however, if using joda time in codebase, there no strong1 reason migrate.

1 - code won't break if don't, , won't deprecation warnings. sure, joda codebase stop getting updates, unlikely need them. no updates means stability , good thing.

how set z-index drawing object when using drawingcontext.drawxxx() methods? the object drawn last have higher z index. can't change index of drawn objects. way draw in order. if using wpf (as placed tag), can use, example, canvas control. create shapes need like polyline obj = new polyline(); //... // ... set properties of obj and add them canvas uielementcollection: yourcanvasname.children.add(obj); //or yourcanvasname.children.insert(i, obj); first items of collection have higher z index. advantages in way: no need redraw on window changes, can anytime move objects , change order.

razor - Is this a bug in WebMatrix PageData? -

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...

visual c++ - Using relative values in array sorting ( asm ) -

i need sort through array , sort each individual row in array in ascending order. doesn't seem going (surprise!) keep getting hit 2 errors: a2101: cannot add 2 relocatable labels , a2026: constant expected here's sort, makes sense me, think i'm still trying implement high-lvl language techniqes assembly. there way around not being able use relative values? (the array 7 rows 9 columns, btw). mov cx, 7; cx = number of rows outer: ; outer loop walk through rows push cx mov cx, 9 mov row, cx ;rows middle: ; middle-loop walk through columns push cx sub cx, 1 ;cx = cx-1 mov column, cx ;columns inner: ;inner loop - compare , exchange column values cmp marray[row*9 + column], marray[row*9 + column+1] xchg marray[row*9 + column+1], marray[row*9 + column] ; compare , exchange values marray table inc column loop inner pop cx loop mid...
