In C, can an address of a pointer be 0? -

-

i'm reading solution problem in book cracking coding interview (q 1.2). objective there implement function void revers(char* str) in c reverses null terminating string.

the solution code looks this:

void reverse(char *str) {    char* end=str;    char tmp;    if(str)    {        while(*end)        {           end++;        }        end--;        //code reverse    } }

here, str contains address right? , if(str) evaluate false if str 0, right?

so i'm saying is, there no chance str contain address 0x0000, evaluating if(str) false?

str indeed contain address (it's pointer char), , if(str) evaluate false iff str equal null pointer.

note null pointer not required standard refer address 0; however, standard mandates literal value of 0 when used in pointer context must interpreted compiler address of null pointer -- whatever might be.

this means test if(p == 0) guaranteed same if(p == null). also, conditional if(p) guaranteed same if(p != 0).

conclusion: code detect null pointer, but that's not technically same pointer points address 0 (even though in practice going find is).

c# - must be a non-abstract type with a public parameterless constructor in redis -

when save object, got below error must non-abstract type public parameterless constructor in order use parameter 't' in generic type or method 'servicestack.redis.redisclient.store<t>(t) redisclass.getinstnace().store(msg); // error here redisclass.getinstnace().save(); as third party's class, can not edit how save object? could create wrapper around third party object call constructor, store wrapper? e.g. public class mywrapper { public thirdpartyobject thirdpartyinstance { get; set; } public mywrapper() { thirdpartyinstance = new thirdpartyobject("constructors"); } }

c# - ReportViewer control - axd url -

-
i've embedded microsoft.reporting.webforms.reportviewer control in aspx. site works on mysite.com. when try exmple export report, there new black window opened address mysite.com/reserved.reportviewerwebcontrol.axd... it's working fine. but.. pass axd via proxy. mean, i'd force export use url myproxy.mysite.com/reserved.reportviewerwebcontrol.axd... redirect request mysite.com/reserved.reportviewerwebcontrol.axd... i've noticed, link build within js (that inlcuded in axd): exportreport: function(format) { if (this.exporturlbase == null) return false; window.open(this.exporturlbase + encodeuricomponent(format), "_blank"); return true; }, the url axd stored in exporturlbase . how can change proxy serwer url? it possible modify exporturlbase field in javascript. report stored in placeholder somewhere on page, once found can create call _getinternalviewer() function on gain access exporturlbase. have @ following code: ...

time series - R growth rate calculation week over week on daily timeseries data -

-
i'm trying calculate w/w growth rates entirely in r. use excel, or preprocess ruby, that's not point. data.frame example date gpv type 1 2013-04-01 12900 office 2 2013-04-02 16232 office 3 2013-04-03 10035 office i want factored 'type' , need wrap date type column weeks. , calculate week on week growth. i think need ddply group week - custom function determines if date in given week or not? then, after that, use diff , find growth b/w weeks divided previous week. then i'll plot week/week growths, or use data.frame export it. this closed had same useful ideas. update: answer ggplot: all same below, use instead of plot ggplot(data.frame(week=seq(length(gr)), gr), aes(x=week,y=gr*100)) + geom_point() + geom_smooth(method='loess') + coord_cartesian(xlim = c(.95, 10.05)) + scale_x_discrete() + ggtitle('week on week growth rate, apr 1') + ylab('growth rate %') (old, correct answer using plot) w...
