A statement that seems self-contradictory but in reality expresses a truth is called a paradox.
Yes. A while statement ends in a statement...while (expression) statement...and that statement can be a null statement, a single statement, or a block of statements. In the case of the block of statements, there is also a set of braces surrounding them...while (expression);while (expression) statement;while (expression) {statement1;statement2;...statementN;}In the case where the body of the statement is null, there is no body. This is often done while taking advantage of side effects. For instance, to copy a string you could use...char *strcpy (char *pszDestination, char *pszSource) {char *pszTemp = pszDestination;while ((*pszDestination++ = *pszSource++) != '\0');return pszTemp;}...this works because the post-increment (++) operator has higher precedence than the dereference (*) operator, and because the assignment (=) operator has the value of the assignment, which is compared using the not equal (!=) operator against the string terminator null.Note, carefully, the inner parentheses. They are needed because != has higher precedence than =, and you want it the other way around. Also, some compilers will let you eliminate the != '\0' terms and the inner parentheses, but that is not portable, and most compilers will warn you about assignment in a conditional expression.In the case of a single statement you could use...i= -1;while (++i < argc) printf ("%d %s\n", i, argv[i]);...here the while statement also ends in a semicolon.The case of the block of statements is not shown, because it seems to be understood from the context of the question.
The bias you're referring to is likely "confirmation bias." This cognitive bias occurs when individuals favor information that confirms their pre-existing beliefs or hypotheses while disregarding or minimizing evidence that contradicts them. It leads people to seek out, interpret, and remember information in a way that reinforces their existing views, often resulting in skewed perceptions of reality.
In computer programming, a number without a variable is referred to as a "magic number," because it seems to appear out of nowhere (like magic!). This is typically considered a bad thing, as that number will have no implicit meaning. { diameter = 10; area = 3.14 * diameter; // here 3.14 is a magic number } { pi = 3.14 diameter = 10; area = pi * diameter; // now the meaning of this statement is unambiguous }
There is no such keyword in Java. In general: whether an argument is passed by value or by reference is determined by whether the argument is a primitive (by value) or an Object (by reference). In reality, it's a little more complicated. It seems to be that the actual reference you send as an argument will not change, but the data it refers to will. // This method will not cause a change in the original value. void changeArg(int[] ints) { ints = null; } // This method will. void changeArg(int[] ints) { ints[0] = 0; }
It depends on what you're personally comfortable with AND whether or not you think others will be able to read it (if it is meant for others to do so). I personally write with a combination of boths cursive and print. It seems weird, but it is still clearly written and readable. With technology on the rise, it seems that the art of cursive (or handwriting, or just writing period) seems to going out the door.
I think you men't to say paradox, which means a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.

I would say that it is an oxymoron, but it may be a paradox.

A paradox is a statement or situation that seems contradictory or absurd but may actually be true or have a logical explanation. Paradoxes challenge our understanding of reality and can lead to new insights or understanding of complex concepts.
A paradox is a statement or situation that seems contradictory or illogical, yet may reveal an underlying truth or insight. Paradoxes often challenge our understanding or assumptions, prompting deeper reflection. They can be found in various fields, including philosophy, mathematics, and literature, highlighting complexities in concepts like truth, reality, and morality. A classic example is the statement "This statement is false," which creates a logical inconsistency.
A self-contradictory statement is called a paradox. It is a statement that contradicts itself or seems to defy logic.

The statement seems absurd to me.
