I've seen those being called "single page" and "multi page" forms. But I don't believe there's a formal standard for that (more) |

If we're meant to be pedantic/technically accurate, we'd never call it "string", but if you call it that way, people - at least anyone familiar with the language - will usually know that you actually mean "*a contiguous sequence of chars terminated by the null character (`\0`)*" (regardless of how it...

@Istiak Actually, it's a little bit more complicated than that. A pointer to some type `T` is, let's say, "interchangeable" with an array of `T` (actually, the pointer points to the array's first element). In C, a string is actually an array of chars (terminated by `\0`), so a `char *` (a pointer to... (more) |

A: Accessibility standard/s for multilined <input type="text"> fields The standard for multi-line text input is to use a `textarea`. Don't use `input type="text"`, it won't work. I'm not sure why you don't want to use a `textarea`, but after reading this answer, I hope you'll understand why an `input` is not the correct solution. Definitions MDN defines `input ... (more) |

`input type="text"` is single line by definition. If you want multiline input, use a `textarea` - unless there's a good reason to not use it (and I don't see - and can't imagine - any reason for that) (more) |

@elgonzo There's still the challenge of code-golfing the code (make it as small as possible). But as I said, I'm not the best one to suggest anything about that, so it's "left as an exercise to the reader (aka Derrick)" :-)

A: Where did my proper divisor sum program went wrong? When you do `x=y=z=[]`, you're making `x`, `y` and `z` point to the same list. Example: ```python x=y=z=[] add element to x x.append(1) add element to y y.append(2) but x, y and z all point to the same list print(z) # [1, 2] ``` So the first thing to fix is this, set a different list to...

@elgonzo AFAIK, lists in Python can't be preallocated. You can create one with N elements, and then use those already-created spaces. I've tested here, but that didn't make the code much faster.

And the `timeit` module already takes care of most "disturbances", and does the tests as clean as possible, running each test lots of times and doing some other stuff that I admit I don't fully know (but I've read some docs mentioning some things it does to eliminate any disturbances). Anyway, I incr... (more) |

@elgonzo The "unbalanced in the beginning" took `1.2465003237593919e-05` seconds - note the scientific notation, with "e-05" in the end, which actually means `0.0000124...` seconds. (more) |

A: Detecting balanced parentheses in Python Instead of replacing the brackets, you could do just one loop, and keep a stack with the opening brackets. Every time you find a closing bracket, check if it corresponds to the stack top: if it's not, the string is invalid, else, pop the opening bracket and proceed to the next character. Do it unt...

A: Counting Sundays without Python datetime module First of all, I've added a `print` in your code to show the dates: if days % 7 == 0 and currentday == 1: print(f'{currentyear}-{currentmonth:>02}-{currentday:>02}') sundays += 1 And in the first lines I've noticed that you're actually counting the Tuesdays: ```none 190...

A: How can I emulate regular expression's branch reset in Java? Currently, Java 16 is the latest version, and there's no support to branch reset yet. But one - still far from ideal - alternative is to use lookarounds: ``` Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("([aeiou]+(?=\\d+\\W+)|[123]+(?=[a-z]+\\W+))"); Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("ae123. 111abc!!"); w...

A: What does the "\s" shorthand match? The complete set of characters matched by the `\s` shorthand varies according to the language/API/tool/engine you're using. In addition to that, there might be configurations that change this behaviour. In a general way, `\s` - at least in the engines that I've seen - always include the following... (more) |

What does the "\s" shorthand match? I've seen some regular expressions (regex) using `\s` when they want to match a space, but I noticed that it also matches line breaks. Example: the regex `[a-z]\s[0-9]` (lowercase ASCII letter, followed by `\s`, followed by a digit) matches both `a 1` and ```none b 2 ``` Because `\s` matc... (more) |

A: Why is this client code getting the wrong date for a few hours a day? First of all, we need to understand what a JavaScript `Date` actually is. And surprisingly, it's not exactly a date (at least not in terms of having unique values for day, month, year, hour, minute and second). A JavaScript `Date` actually represents a timestamp. More precisely, according to the... (more) |

Actually, `print` will add a new line if you set `$\ = "\n"`. The doc mentions that: "*If the output record separator (`$\`) is not `nil`, it is appended to the output*" - as the [default value is `nil`](https://ruby-doc.org/docs/ruby-doc-bundle/Manual/man-1.4/variable.html#bslash), `print` won't nor...

From my experience, the main issue in any ticket system is when users can't explain their problem with enough details (and we need to contact them to get those details). Markdown, as a markup language, (with **formatting purposes only**), wouldn't help to solve this problem - because it's a communica... (more) |

I agree that in most cases we simply shouldn't do it. But the main subject of the question is Zalgo Text, so how could I show an example without actually showing it?
