  1. In Topic: Functions in Java

    Posted 19 Jun 2013

    Lisp is an obvious one. I'm sure I had seen some OO features in Haskell before but I can't find them now.

    pbl, I've never used COBOL but I didn't think it was a functional language.

    The other side of the coin is what are callable blocks of code called when a functional language has OO features?

  3. In Topic: Functions in Java

    Posted 19 Jun 2013

    I don't know the answer but I think it is a lot more woolly than that. In VB.NET, you have at least two kinds of method (for want of a better word) a Sub just does something without returning a value (like a Java void method) and a Function returns a value. You also have Shared Sub and Shared Function which are a bit like the static equivalents in Java.

    There are also languages where classes are objects too (Ruby, Smalltalk and probably others) so a class level method would still have an associated Object instance.

    Apologies if that's not a satisfying answer. It's just food for thought.

  4. In Topic: append method doesn't recognize escape characters?

    Posted 18 Jun 2013

    Oh, they sneaked that into Java 7 without me realising. About time too!

  5. In Topic: Programming languages - now and then

    Posted 18 Jun 2013

    Aaah yes but lisp is so easy to implement in other languages that argument comes full circle.

    Thanks for Your Precious Input. I Found the character counting thing very bedazzling. I have the code to it that I wrote Myself, but it took me Long to find a subtle Algorithm :)

    Cheers! The next one is in progress, but I'm having to learn and write some programs first. It's going to take a little time...

    "Purple DIC-headed Warrior" doesn't quite apply now that you got the promotion. Well done!
