perl

Inheritance in perl Code sample

Create a small object hierarchy. The (virtual) base class should be Animal, and define two methods: speak and hasFur. The class Mammal should inherit from Animal and override hasFur appropriately. The class Dog should inherit from Mammal and should override speak appropriately.

#!/usr/bin/perl

if (Mammal->hasFur()) { print "Alert National Geographic!\n"; }
if (Dog->hasFur()) { print "Sharp as a tack.\n"; }
Dog->speak();
Animal->speak();
Mammal->speak();

package Animal;
use Carp qw(cluck);

sub speak { cluck "Virtual method called.\n"; }
#for debug purposes we are using cluck here, confess should be used in
#virtual methods as they should never be called.
sub hasFur{ cluck "Virtual method called.\n"; }

package Mammal;

use base ("Animal");

sub hasFur{ return true; }

package Dog;

use base ("Mammal");
sub speak{ print "Unfortunately, the dog only barks, as dogs cannot
speak.\n" }
            

Python

Programming Challenge Code sample

A non-negative integer is called heavy if the average value of its digits in decimal representation exceeds 7. For example the number 8698 is heavy, because the average value of its digits equal to (8+6+9+8)/4 = 7.75

Given two non-negative integers X and Y find the number of heavy integers in the interval [X..Y] (X and Y included)

def heavy(x, y):
  count = 0
  for j in range(x, y+1):
    summed = 0
    num_digits = 0
    for i in range(0, len(str(j))):
      summed += int(str(j)[i])
      num_digits += 1
    if (summed > 7 * num_digits):
      count += 1
  return count

print "Should return 5: " + str(heavy(8675, 8689))
            

PHP

Programming Challenge Code sample

Given an array, all of whose elements are positive numbers, find the maximum sum of a subsequence with the constraint that no 2 numbers in the sequence should be adjacent in the array. So 3 2 7 10 should return 13 (sum of 3 and 10) or 3 2 5 10 7 should return 15 (sum of 3, 5 and 7).

<?php
echo "Should return 13: " . getMagicNumber(array(3, 2, 7, 10)) . "\n";
echo "Should return 15: " . getMagicNumber(array(3, 2, 5, 10, 7)) . "\n";

function getMagicNumber($array) {
  $incl = $array[0];
  $excl = 0;
  $array = array_slice($array, 1);
  foreach ($array as $value) {
    $max = $excl;
    if ($incl >= $excl) {
      $max = $incl;
    }
    $incl = $excl + $value;
    $excl = $max;
  }
  if ($incl >= $excl) {
    return $incl;
  }
  return $excl;
}
?>
            

JavaScript

Simple Generic Forms Interface (snippet) Code sample

This is a piece of code I find myself writing a lot: An interface for making a generic forms system. Here is a snippet from my latest implementation. In this piece we are iterating through the form elements and using JQuery.View's EJS templating system to output each form section.

 render: function() {
    var section_rendered = "";
    var that = this;
    $.each(this.form_obj.sections, function(index, value) {
      var section = new FormSection(value, that.form_values);
      that.form_sections.push(section);
      section_rendered = section_rendered + section.render();
    });
    var rendered = $.View('templates/form/form.ejs',
    { item: this.item,
      form_obj: this.form_obj, section_rendered: section_rendered});
    return rendered;
  }
