Yes, it's Python and it gave me quite a headache.
It generates methods with names like
query_by_table_foo(...) at run time. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out where they were defined. I could see they were getting called, and returning results, but I couldn't find them anywhere!
Hello Paul, Thank you for taking time out of your day to reply and help a beginner. I appreciate this advice very much. I have read about std::vector and i really like this concept. I want to play with it so that i can begin to understand all of the ways in which i can utilize it in my code creation process.
Good morning Jose, i also get a headache looking at this code. I have made a few posts about my dislike for Python. I find the language to be weird. You mentioned Java before and i agree that it is a better language. I'm not trying to take anything away from the success of Python. I am aware that it is being used even in the Robotics field but i argue that C, C++ and Java could also be used and they would be better choices in my opinion.
probably true for most people but i am a self-taught coder. I never had the privilege of textbooks, classmates and a asking a professor questions. Alot of programmers overlook the fact that newbies often have limited knowledge about computers. Whenever i started studying coding, i had to look up hex and binary because i had no idea what it meant. I like to take the 'storm the palace' approach and fill/train my brain with as much material as possible using beginner-to-advanced info. I learned how to code in PHP with this tactic. I learn differently or my brain is not naturally as sharp as yours
I am not sure if i am interpreting this post correctly. I hope that you are not offended in anyway. I call myself a coder, i certainly do not refer to you as a coder. I do not think that i deserve to label myself as a programmer just yet. I am self-taught and i have alot to learn. I am not in the same league as you. I would not walk into a room full of programmers and call myself a programmer. I remember a crude expression once spoken to me: "know your role and shut your mouth". I try not to place my skill level in the same category as pros. In my opinion, too many people step out-of-line these days. Do you know what i mean? I'm not trying to be rude. I just notice how alot of people read something on-line then speak about it as if they are experts. Reading an article or book about acting does not qualify one to criticize or otherwise speak of the profession as if one is a part of the profession. I certainly would not tell you how to program. My post is asking for help regarding programming.
clever title
do you plan on entering pro wrestling? that would be a good name.I have enjoyed reading the references that you've posted. Fantastic information. Thank You, Sir.

}I always struggled trying to figure out C++ and I once considered myself an expert at C. To me it's significantly different.
I did not know about CFront. I enjoy learning about the history of C/C++ Thank you for taking time out of your day to share your knowledge with us.

}Ironically, that realisation alone makes you quite a good C++ programmer in comparison!
. I EXPECT YOU TO MAKE MISTAKES... it is how we learn.. . If we put our hands into a hot burning fire and they (DO NOT BURN), then we just keep putting our hands into every fire we see 
. More programmers need to "try things" so they learn more.
