Anonymous Functions (Lambda expressions) in Java?

Hello,
I need to know if there are anonymous functions in Java. I am writing a platform independent shell, and I would like to use anonymous functions to make the shell better.
Does Java support anonymous functions or is it unsupported?
Thanks.

functions without a name? no
functions belong to classes, and every class method has a name.
you want to use lisp.

Calling Oracle Functions and Procedures in Java

I've looked online for a blurb on using Oracle SQL functions and
procedures in Java, but I haven't found anything. Can someone
either give me a quick crash course on this, or point me to the
best source of information for this?

From the SQLJ FAQ.
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/faq.html#sqljplsql
Within your SQLJ statements, you can use PL/SQL anonymous blocks
and call PL/SQL stored procedures and stored functions, as in the
following examples: Anonymous
block:
#sql {
DECLARE
n NUMBER;
BEGIN
n := 1;
WHILE n <= 100 LOOP
INSERT INTO emp (empno) VALUES(2000 +
n);
n := n + 1;
END LOOP;
END
Stored procedure call (returns the maximum
deadline as an output parameter into an output host expression):
#sql { CALL MAX_DEADLINE(:out maxDeadline) };
Stored function call (returns the maximum
deadline as a function return into a result expression):
#sql maxDeadline = { VALUES(GET_MAX_DEADLINE)
Of course, you can also use JDBC code to achieve the same - the
standard JDBC escape sequences for stored function and procedure
calls are supported, using for example:
"{? = CALL GET_MAX_DEADLINE}"
or:
"{call MAX_DEADLINE(?)}"
and for the rest of the details, get that JDBC crash course...

Lambda expressions and compiler extensions

Hi guys,
I'm working on a project that is designed to play nicely with closures (anonymous functions) and it would be really nice if lambda expressions were supported due to the abbreviated syntax.
I posted a question on these forums last year and the reply mentions a "custom asc extension". Is the compiler (even if it's just 4.0) extensable in a way that support for lambda expressions could be added? If it's not *that* extensible, how much effort would be involved?
If it's simply not possible, can I make a language request for the next release?
Cheers,
Richard
PS. FYI, here are the requirements for a lambda expressions as they would work in the AVM:
"x:int => x + 1" is equivalent to "function (x:int) : int { return x+1; }"
"(x:int) => methodThatReturnsVoid(x)" is equivalent to "function (x:int) : void { methodThatReturnsVoid(x); }"
"() => 5" is equivalent to "function () : int { return 5; }"
"_ => 5" is equivalent to "function (_ : Object) : int { return thereIsAnArgumentButIWontUseIt(); }"
"() =>
    bracesMeansICanUseMultipleStatements();
    return butIHaveToUseReturn();
is equivalent to
"function():void
    bracesMeansICanUseMultipleStatements();
    return butIHaveToUseReturn();
... etc

I think you misunderstood my post. I was asking for a pointer in the right direction to implement the support myself, and how the extension would integrate into an existing sdk installation.
I realise that AS3 is not intended to match C# feature-for-feature, but I've been working on a port of Rx and lambda-syntax for anonymous functions would be much more pleasing on the eye.
Besides, if I were set on requesting a feature, it'd be proper generics support!

IEnumerable T Property as parameter in Lambda Expression

Hi,
I have following construction which returns selected items from the list:
public IEnumerable<Country> SelectedProducts
get
return this.Countries.Where(c => c.ContinentName.Equals("Product Catalog") && c.IsSelected);
}The following construction foreach (Country c in SelectedProducts)
MessageBox.Show(c.ProductName.ToString());
returns product names for selected products in list. How can I use SelectedProducts and pass the same into lambda expression to retrieve data from database. Since it contains multiple values it should be used something like with IN expression in T-SQL
or not. Please help in order to get this working.
Thanks in advance.
Almir

Hello Barry,
I converted Selectedproducts
public
IEnumerable<Country>
SelectedProducts
get
return this.Countries.Where(c
=> c.ContinentName.Equals("Product
Catalog") && c.IsSelected);
to string[] array using construct SelectedProductsToString and then pass it to where clause as it is shown in ShowSelected() method.
private string[] SelectedProductsToString
get
return SelectedProducts.Select(c => c.ProductName.ToString()).ToArray();
public void ShowSelected()
var result = Fact.Where(c=> SelectedProductsToString.Contains(c.ProductName));
Do you think it's ok from your point of view or should consider something else.
Thanks for your opinion.
Regards.

Can I read mails in OutLook Express in Java ?

Hi Guys,
Just curious if I can access mails in Outlook Express in Java.
Thank you for your consideration.

When is an anonymous function evaluated?

Hi everyone.
I used two kinds of anonymous function in my AS 3.0 Flash
file, in order to implement the roll-over animation of menu
buttons. menu_1, menu_2, ... are the buttons already on the stage,
and menu_list is an array of them. The code is about adding event
listeners on the menu buttons to the corresponding movie clips
("shades" in the code).
It is supposed that when MOUSE_OVER happens on menu_1, then
shade_list[0] plays itself from a frame named "colorIn". However,
when complied and run, all of the event listeners are linked to the
final element of shade_list, namely shade_list[5]. No matter what
button your mouse is going over, a shade covers the sixth menu
button.
If I put the for statement away and hard-code the whole
thing, like menu_list[0].addEventListener( ... );
menu_list[1].addEventListener( ... );
menu_list[2].addEventListener( ... ); ..., then it works fine as I
intended. But I'd really appreciate if I can do this with for
statement, since this time it should be an extensive menu
design.

The problem was because of the concept of "scope." In the
code, the local variable named menuNumber is used in an anonymous
function about shade_list. However, shade_list[menuNumber] is not
evaluated until it is called. When it is actually called,
menuNumber already has the final value (namely the length of
menu_list) because the for statement is over. This is why every
event listener is linked to the final element of shade_list. So I
have to force menuNumber to be evaluated when addEventListener
happens. I can do this by adding an extra scope.
Thus
function (MouseEvent) {
shade_list[menuNumber].gotoAndPlay("colorIn") }
should be rewritten like
function (menuNumber) { return function (MouseEvent) {
shade_list[menuNumber].gotoAndPlay("colorIn") } }
(menuNumber)

Using regular expressions in java

Does anyone of you know a good source or a tutorial for using regular expressions in java.
I just want to look at some examples....
Thanks

thanks a lot... i have one more query
Boundary matchers
^      The beginning of a line
$      The end of a line
\b      A word boundary
\B      A non-word boundary
\A      The beginning of the input
\G      The end of the previous match
\Z      The end of the input but for the final terminator, if any
\z      The end of the input
if i want to use the $ for comparing with string(text) then how can i use it.
Eg if it is $120 i got a hit
but if its other than that if should not hit.

Regular expression in java -- specifically email

Does anyone know how I can do a regular expression with java that is going to retrieve an email address pattern.
For example, let's say i have a huge string
this is a sample test. perhaps someoen can tell me how to retrieve my [email protected] from this string. sincerely yours [email protected]
could someone explain to me how to retrieve these emai addresses most efficiently using java's regular expressions
thanks
stev

A citing (http://jregex.sourceforge.net/examples-email.html):
String someValidChars="[\\w.\\-]+";
String someAlphaNums="\\w+";
String dot="\\.";
Pattern email=new Pattern(someValidChars + "@" + someValidChars + dot + someAlphaNums);

Anonymous class instantiation expression with interface implementation??

Is it possible to create an inline anonymous class instatiation expression that can implements an interface?
For example:
Frame myFrame = new Frame() implements WindowListner {
     public void WindowOpened(WindowEvent e) {}
         +other interface methods....+
}Apparently compiler doesn't like this code:(
I know that I can create an extra named class with the interface, then instantiate it instead. But this is not what I want.
(By the way, if someone wants to know why I want to do this, I say I think this may make my code simpler or look better, that's all:) )

abstract class ListenerFrame extends Frame implements WindowListener {} This look pretty neat:)
I guess I can rewrite my code then:
abstract class FrameWithListener extends Frame
         implements WindowListener{}      //local class
Frame myFrame = new FrameWithListener {
        public void WindowOpened {}
           blah, blah...
}Not sure I can use abstarct class as local class, but otherwise I'll use it as a class member or some sort..
Thank you for the reply

Is it possible to avoid using anonymous functions in certain calls?

Hi All,
In my plugin code I have some calls similar to the following:
        LrTasks.startAsyncTaskWithoutErrorHandler(function ()
            -- do stuff here
        end)
Use of anonymous functions to pass parameters to the SDK is straight out of the API reference and SDK documentation. The code executes fine, but it can break the ability of some text editors to maintain a function list for quick navigation around your code.
Does anyone know of a way to pass named functions or anonymous code blocks (rather than functions) to the calls instead?
Thanks,
Matt

You can use named functions as well:
function myNamedFunction()
   -- do stuff here
end
LrTasks.startAsyncTaskWithoutErrorHandler(myNamedFunction)

Sat M70: How to recover function of Express-Media-Player?

I have M70 but I formatted it once I bought it. Now, could you tell me how to recover function of Express-Media-Player? there is not setup.exe file in the Express-Media-Player recovery CD/
Thanks

Hello Weimin
In order to use the Express Media functions the Express Mediaplayer Recovery CD must be run before performing the Product Recovery from the Recovery DVD-ROM.
You cannot run Express Media player after performing a recovery.
On the HDD should at least 150 - 200MB free space be available.
This free space should be on the end of the HDD and it must be unallocated.
To start the installation you have to boot from the Express Mediaplayer Recovery CD
Bye
