What does | in this code mean?





function foo() {}

var bar = foo <| function() {};







This is the first time I've seen something like this. What does <| mean?

  1. Now that you have posted the link to the source, you can see in the comments at the top of the file exactly what it does (line 36):


    the <| operator -- defines the [[Prototype]] of a literal...

    For these examples <| used with a function expression sets the
    [[Prototype]] of the object created as the value of the function's
    "prototype" property to the value of the "prototype" property of the
    the LHS object. This is in addition to setting the [[Prototype]] of
    the function object itself. In other words, it builds sets the
    [[Prototype]] of both the function and of function.prototype to
    potentially different values.

  2. That throws a syntax error for me ("unexpected token" on the "|")

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
