What is the difference between method and class method and why are mentioning one as Method and class method what is the purpose of this?

In the previous parts (1, 2) we talked about globals as trees. In this article, we will look at them as sparse arrays.

A sparse array - is a type of array where most values assume an identical value.

In practice, you will often see sparse arrays so huge that there is no point in occupying memory with identical elements. Therefore, it makes sense to organize sparse arrays in such a way that memory is not wasted on storing duplicate values.

In some programming languages, sparse arrays are part of the language - for example, in J, MATLAB. In other languages, there are special libraries that let you use them. For C++, those would be Eigen and the like.

Globals are good candidates for implementing sparse arrays for the following reasons:

Is there a way to graphically edit BPL processes, or do we still need to use Studio for doing that?

Looking at the documentation, it appear there should be an Atelier BPL editor option available under Open With, but all I have is Atelier Class, HTML, INT, and MAC editors.

There is a BPL editor in the list, but it throws a "Bad editor input" error when trying to open the class file.

If you're using Firefox, you probably know that there are search engine addons that allow us to use website search directly. Now, docs.intersystems.com is also available as a search engine here. Here's how it looks:

Set httprequest=##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()
	Set httprequest.Server="www.intersystems.com"
	Do httprequest.Get("/")
	Do httprequest.HttpResponse.OutputToDevice()
	Do httprequest.Get("/cache/")
	Do httprequest.HttpResponse.OutputToDevice()

The above is the code which i found in this link http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/documatic/%25CSP.Documatic.cls?P...

What is difference between using a command $classmethod rather than just invoking them straight away?

For example if i need to call a class and its method i can just use like

do ##class(circle).radius()

rather than using

do $classmethod("circle",radius)

(I suppose both of them doing the same function i am not aware of it)

Please help me understand what is different and is there any specific usage.

Correct me if i have made mistake.

In if condition what is the difference between specifying the single operator and double operator? For example, what is the difference between (&& and &) or (|| and !)

I am trying to read an xml document using %XML.TextReader and that's is all well and l can get my elements values but would like to determine where the next record start on the xml without referring to the document path in essence would like to use the same method to read different xml docs. I would like to know if is there a way or a function that I can use to get the start and end of a record in xml as I would to get the start and end element.

Hi, I'm a student, weak programming. I ask for your help, I write a program in C #, there are two tables, but I do not understand how to organize the connection between them many to many. Table in DataGridView1 from DataSet1 on Form1 key connection in DataGridView1 from DataSet1 to Form3

I do this on Form1

sample
    w "Total No.Of Sticks:21"_!
    s sticks=21
    r "enter machine name: ",a
    r "enter dev name: ",b
    w "Display 1 to 21 sticks"_!
    s i=""
    f i=1:1:21{
        w " "_i_" "
    }
user(sticks)
    w !_"User select 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 sticks:"_!
    r "User enter sticks: ",us
    if us>4 {
        w "please select upto 4 Sticks"
        r "User enter sticks: ",us
    }
    s cnt=sticks-us
    s sticks=cnt
    f i=1:1:sticks {
        w " "_i_" "
    }
    s dev=1
    s machine=0
    d:sticks=0 lost(dev,machine)
    d machine(.sticks,us)
    q
machine(sticks,us)    

Hi Guys,
Can you please guide me to get rid of this issue. Please find the image files with this post.

Please let me know, before we are developing an API what are all the setup/Configuration(Apache/web server) need to do in my machine.

Hi,All,

I did a small coding for the HTTP request and HTTP response. When i tried to use a server with ping i was able to get a response from the HTTP request. But when i tried the same with HTTP response i am getting a empty value in the response why is that?

Thanks in advance.

When executing a business process I'd like to share the Login Token from an external system retrieved via one of my business operations across multiple process instances. This means I need to persist the token somewhere. What would be the best approach/pattern to implement this?

I’ve hit the wall. I’m a one person shop who wants to start developing Cache on a mac using Eclipse/Atelier, after using Studio for the last 5 years. I’ve installed the 1.1 beta plugin, watched 6 or 7 videos from the September conference, tried several times to work through the cheat sheets, only to have connection issues or compilation issues, so at this point, I’m feeling very frustrated. The videos were interesting, but generally didn’t work as tutorials for fundamental programming operations, for me.
