python - Some questions on a function - 


def get_party_stats(families, table_size=6):      """to calculate number of attendees , tables needed.      args:         families(list): list of members.         table_size(int): table size of 6.      returns:         mixed: people count & table count.      examples:          >>> get_party_stats([['jan'], ['jen', 'jess'], ['jem', 'jack',         'janis']])         '(6, 3)'     """     table_num = 0     people_num = 0      people in families:         table_num += -(-len(people)//table_size)         people_num += len(people)     return people_num, table_num

how people_num return 6, if len(people) 3. table_num, having negative signs in -(-len(people)//table_size), achieve? there way count number of attendees , tables, using simple examples? thank you.

since sum on sizes of each family people_num come out len(['jan']) + len(['jen', 'jess']) + len(['jem', 'jack', 'janis']) = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.

the -(-len(people)//table_size) term bit sneaky realize noting a // b == floor(a / b). integer division c = // b defined such c biggest integer number such c <= / b (note / means float-division here). makes abs(a) // abs(b) != abs(a // b) when a / b < 0 want when calculating number of tables necessary in function.

the following results may illustrate that:

 -1 // 6 == -1           1 // 6 == 0  -2 // 6 == -1           2 // 6 == 0        ...                    ...  -6 // 6 == -1           6 // 6 == 1   -7 // 6 == -2           7 // 6 == 1   -8 // 6 == -2           8 // 6 == 1       ...                    ... -12 // 6 == -2          12 // 6 == 2  -13 // 6 == -3          13 // 6 == 2

another (maybe less elegant) way of calculating number of tables necessary given people 1 + (len(people) - 1) // table_size.

finally, whole function made lot shorter using list-comprehensions:

def get_party_stats(families, table_size=6):     return (sum([len(f) f in families]),             sum([-(-len(f) // table_size) f in families]))

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)
