excel - How to search a range for multiple pieces of text -

-

i need search f$3 through f$96 cell contain 4 of w3, x3, y3, , z3. return true if cells in f$3 f$96 contain four. how do?

currently use 

=and(isnumber(search(w3,f$3:f$96)),isnumber(search(x3,f$3:f$96)),isnumber(search(y3,f$3:f$96)),isnumber(search(z3,f$3:f$96)))

but if place formula in aa3, checks f3, not f$3 through f$96

i need check cells in range , return true if 1 contains 4 criteria.

sumproduct , -- (double negative) useful want. sumproduct expects array of values, cells checked.

this produced example (split multiple lines readability):

=(sumproduct(--(f$3:f$96=w3))>0)+  (sumproduct(--(f$3:f$96=x3))>0)+  (sumproduct(--(f$3:f$96=y3))>0)+  (sumproduct(--(f$3:f$96=z3))>0)

the -- converts true/false 1's , 0's, , adds them (as giving 1 list each sumproduct, doesn't multiplication, adds). value returned number of cells matched value looking for.

as don't care how many matched, @ least 1 matched, complare result of sumproduct see if got @ least 1 match (>0), , test results added together.

the result of calculation 4 if numbers found, 3 if 3 found, , on.

you can either test 4 result, or give people idea of how many had match giving them result.

java - Copying object fields -

what best way of copying classes when need have 2 independent variables? have simple class: public class myclass { boolean = false; string b= "not empty"; } do need make method : assign(myclass data ) { a= data.a; b= data.b; } is there automatic method copy (duplicate) objects in java? do need make method : pretty close. instead of making method, should make constructor. such constructors called copy constructor , , create them this: myclass(myclass data) { = data.a; b = data.b; } and create copy of instance, use constructor this: myclass obj1 = new myclass(); myclass obj2 = new myclass(obj1); copy constructor can tedious : using copy constructor create deep-copy can tedious, when class has mutable fields. in case, assignment create copy of reference, , not object itself. have create copy of fields (if want deep copy). can go recursive. a better way create deep copy serialize , deserialize object. why not use clone()? ...

c++ - Clear the memory after returning a vector in a function -

-
i have function processes , stores lot of data in , returns results vector of class. amount of data stored in function tremendous , want clear storage memory of function after finished job. necessary (does function automatically clear memory) or should clear memory function? update: vector<customers> process(char* const *filename, vector<int> id) { vector<customers> list_of_customers; (perform actions) return list_of_customers; } variables defined locally within function automatically released @ end of function scope. destructors objects called, should free memory allocated objects (if objects coded correctly). example of such object std::vector . anything you've allocated new must have corresponding delete release storage. try avoid doing own allocation , use raii instead, i.e. containers or smart pointers.
