Maya M.E.L : Is it possible to store an array of type joint? -

-

hi new mel user , have been playing around , searching around can't figure out:

i trying move joint transform rotation values joint orient values can clean attributes of transforms without losing joint orientation, mel attempt this: 

string $joints[]=`ls -type "joint"`;  //print($joints);  int $jnt_count = size($joints);  ($i = 0; $i <= $jnt_count; $i++)  {      int $attr1 = `getattr $joints[i].rotatex`;     int $attr2 = `getattr $joints[i].rotatey`;     int $attr3 = `getattr $joints[i].rotatez`;      setattr $joints[i].jointorientx $attr1;     setattr $joints[i].jointorienty $attr2;     setattr $joints[i].jointorientz $attr3; }

i hoping array of joints (names), change attributes in manner calling them 1 one, seems cannot way

however! when objecttype $joints[1] test, still return type "joints" , don't why value of array type joints, can't access joint's joint.xxx attributes, can enlighten me on matter or point me in right direction?

must appreciated!

in mel ever strings, floats or integers work - names of objects in scene, not wrappers or handles objects themselves.

in specific example, you'd want this:

string $joints[]=`ls -type "joint"`;  int $jnt_count = size($joints);  ($i = 0; $i <= $jnt_count; $i++)  {       float $attr1 = `getattr ($joints[$i] + ".rotatex")`;      // etc. see how done adding strings       // create string "youjointhere.rotatex", periods , all...      // parens make sure string composed before command called       setattr ($joints[$i] + ".jointorientx") $attr1;      // etc.  same trick }

if you're new this, can save world of hurt , jumping straight maya python -- it's lot more powerful mel. optional pymel makes easier - original code posted more or less pymel lets do.

edit: forgot $ variable identifier , parens in first version.

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.
