Comment Post #290905 It works both ways, I just assumed there is some formal convention perhaps defined somewhere. I couldn’t find it but did see examples of doc strings in the std lib so assume that is the convention but not any kind of standard per se

Answer A: Proper location of docstring on struct with attributes
Option 1. The docstring precedes the attributes by convention. Here is an example of the docstring for `std::vec::Vec`. However, if using `cargo doc` to generate documentation, it works just fine if you put it after as well.

Question Proper location of docstring on struct with attributes
When documenting a struct with attributes, where does the docstring go? Before or after the attribute(s)? Option 1: ```rust /// Does it go here? #[derive(Deserialize, Debug)] pub struct Metadata { pub version: f32, pub contributors: Vec } ``` Option 2: ```rust #[derive(Des...

Question Why does this work? .collect() automatic conversion to function return type
I'm completing the `rustlings` exercises as part of self-teaching Rust. While working on the third iterators exercise, I solved the exercise but don't quite understand why my solution works. Specifically, I made two functions that are identical except for their name and return type, but the functi...

Comment Post #285801 Weird. I was able to get getenv to work once I switched to parentheses instead of brackets. environ still does not work for me for some reason. Maybe something weird with being in a conda virtual environment.

Question Load environment variables from .env file in Python 3
In Python 2, I was able to create a file named `.env` within a project folder like so: # .env MYID=abc123 TOKEN=4567890 Then in a Python file in the same directory, I could read these variables like so: # example.py import os id = os.environ["MYID"] token =...

Question Capture args from repeatable flags in Golang pflags package
How do I create a flag that can be used multiple times in a command using the `pflag` package? For example, let's say I wanted to select multiple fields and did not want to have to use comma-separation with a single flag, but instead something like follows: cmd -f field1 -f field2 -f field3 ...

Comment Post #278809 @klutt true, depending on style of collecting params via stdin, usually clicking "Enter" is sufficient to accept default values. However, they could be ignored altogether in CLI params and just sensible defaults used (but I see your point that this could also be the case at runtime also if an alterna...

Comment Post #278830 @Lundin The C++ list is the main one I'm aware is referenced actively even by non-SO users. The others I threw in as additional examples, but apparently are examples of what _not_ to do.

Answer A: For scripting what are the pros and cons of command line arguments versus capturing input at the start?
Pros of CLI arguments/flags include: Easier to leverage the tool in another script or via other automation so that user interaction is not required If certain arguments are optional and/or have default values, the user is not burdened with these choices when they are unimportant Once ...
