Google releases Go language
According to the Go language website Google says this is an experimental language which it developed but developers can have a go and see how it works.
I don't think I will have the time to play with this new language at this time but it would be interesting to see how many would try it out and learn the new language.
I have had past experiences with C and C++ but not Python and that could be the attraction for me where I to attempt to have a look at it.
Sorting with a second sort parameter
Its easier maybe to explain this with an example. Say I have list of Member objects with first name, last name and postcode and I am sorting on last name but would like to sort on first name if there two people with the same last name.
So assuming class Member, I would go like this:
member.Sort(
delegate(Member member1, Member member2)
{
if (member1.LastName == member2.LastName)
return member1.FirstName.CompareTo(member2.FirstName);
else
return member1.LastName.CompareTo(member2.LastName);
});
