Simulate Private Methods Using Closures

Image
Learn how to simulate private methods in Python using closures and nested functions for better encapsulation and data hiding. Simulating Private Methods in Python Using Closures While Python doesn't have true private methods like some other languages, we can simulate this behavior using closures. Closures allow us to create nested functions that remember variables from their enclosing scope, even after the outer function has finished executing. Why Simulate Private Methods? Private methods help with encapsulation, preventing external code from accessing implementation details. This makes your code more maintainable and reduces unexpected side effects. Python's convention is to use a single underscore prefix (e.g., _private_method), but this doesn't actually prevent access. Closures provide stronger encapsulation. Basic Closure Example Here's a simple example of a closure that maintains private state: ...

While Loop in C

Learn how to use the while loop in C programming with clear examples. Perfect for beginners using Debian 12 and Vim. While Loop in C Programming The while loop in C repeatedly executes a block of code as long as a given condition remains true. It's ideal when the number of iterations is unknown beforehand. What is a While Loop? A while loop checks the condition before each iteration. If the condition is false initially, the loop does not run at all. Example Code This program prints numbers from 1 to 5 using a while loop: #include int main() int i = 1; while (i Compiling and Running To compile and run on Debian 12: gcc while_loop.c -o while_loop ./while_loop Expected Output 1 2 3 4 5 Conclusion The while loop is useful for repeating code until a condition becomes false. Always make sure to update variables inside the loop to avoid infinite loops. ...

Renaming and Moving Files with Git

Learn how to rename and move files in a Git repository using `git mv` to keep history and stage changes correctly. Renaming and Moving Files with Git When you rename or move files in a Git repository, using Git's built-in commands ensures the change is tracked properly and staged for commit. Using git mv The `git mv` command renames or moves a file and stages the change automatically: git mv old_filename new_filename This works for both renaming and moving files to different directories. Example: Rename a File git mv README.md README.txt git commit -m \\"Rename README.md to README.txt\\" Example: Move a File to a Subdirectory mkdir docs git mv README.txt docs/README.txt git commit -m \\"Move README.txt to docs directory\\" Alternative: Manual Rename/Move You can manually rename or move files using shell commands, but you must then stage the changes: mv old_...
