Why does ",,," == Array(4) in Javascript? -

-

boot interpreter/console , try comparison

> ",,," == array(4) true

why? @ first thought maybe since think of ",,," array of 4 characters '\0' terminating slice, might why, but

> "..." == array(4)

returns "false". so... why? know it's idiosyncratic bit of duck typing in javascript, curious underlines behavior. gleaned zed shaw's excellent presentation here btw.

because right hand operand converted string , string representation of array(4) ,,,:

> array(4).tostring()   ",,,"

if use array constructor function , pass number, sets length of array number. can have 4 empty indexes (same [,,,]) , default string representation of arrays comma-separated list of elements:

> ['a','b','c'].tostring()   "a,b,c"

how comparison works described in section 11.9.3 of specification. there see (x == y):

8. if type(x) either string or number , type(y) object,
return result of comparison x == toprimitive(y).

(arrays objects in javascript)

and if follow toprimitive method find it calls tostring.

c++ - Troubles when compiling phash program -

-
here (probably) simple problem: i'm trying use perceptual hashing library phash ubuntu 11.10. had ffmpeg installed, way i've done: sudo apt-get install libphash0 sudo apt-get install libphash0-dev then tried compile program: #include <iostream> #include <phash.h> using namespace std; int main() { ulong64 myhash=0; ph_dct_imagehash("test.jpg", myhash); cout<<myhash<<endl; } when compiling, prints out: undefined reference `ph_dct_imagehash' any suggestion? should do? in advance! matteo monti you forgot link phash library, linker cannot find function. try adding -l phash gcc command line (or update makefile). if doesn't work, maybe you'll need specify library path (the location of *.a file) using -l "/usr/lib/"
