And kindly elaborate on "people like me"?
I mean, apparently, I’m seen as someone who often has correct answers and people want correct answers sometimes DM me directly instead of letting me take my time to notice their public posting. That annoys me extremely, as I’m clearly not the only person capable of answering their question. And it doesn’t scale.
Actually, my technique for answering is more “shotgun aimed at the low hanging fruit”. If I answer enough simple questions, most of them are bound to be right, and I get seen as having… skills. :)
I think the problem is that you're using the respective char as power, when you should just be using 16 for hexadecimal. E.g you should do
result = result * base + digitSet.indexOf(hexChar) and initialize the result to zero. If you want to use powers, you should add digit * 16ⁱ, where i is the index in the original number.
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/dart-core/int/parse.html you can give it a radix in this case 16 for hex
but yea i get it i had just used that recently for parsing
realistically software is all use whatever libraries are there for you
Not even close in my company. A lot of libraries comes with licenses which needs to be understood before just using them. The problem is some licenses does not allow you to use them in e.g. closed source products. Also, it is always a problem having lots of dependencies since you always needs to keep them updated
But yes, if the language itself has some functionality. Please use it! :D
but yea if its a learning exercise go for it
I guess I'd consider memory as used by an object if the garbage collector could collect it after the object is no longer used.
You could keep 5000 objects in your queue
Hence my initial question
For the overall application
Also take a look at the more fancy interface, Devtools: https://dart.dev/tools/dart-devtools#using-devtools-with-a-command-line-app
You can also get all this information in your Dart code but only if you are running your code in observe mode which should not be used in production
So in the end, you would need to figure this out without using this metrics in production
I don't want them all to be garbage-collectable at once
The next best you can do here is using
Expando which is a Map where the key is a given object. You can then attach extra data to a object and be sure this data is removed by the garbage collector when the object is GC'ed. (so the Expando itself does not keep the object in memory)
(You can just make a static Expando in the extension)
