Why does my ternary operator give a different result to an if else? - unity3d

The problem I am having is I am trying to use ternary operators over if else for smaller code but when using it in my case it is returning a different result than if I use an if else.
The problem code is below;
If Else
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(jn["LARM"].Value))
pm.ItemLeftArm = null;
else
pm.ItemLeftArm = jn["LARM"];
Ternary
pm.ItemLeftArm = string.IsNullOrEmpty(jn["LARM"].Value) ? null : jn["LARM"];
The jn["LARM"] is a json node from simpleJSON and it is either a number e.g. "0" or nothing e.g. "".
It returns null form the if else but it returns the jn object which transforms from "" into 0.
Im not sure why Im getting this issue.

The code is ok, the problem must be in the JSON. Have you tried logging the jn["LARM"].Value just before the terniary operator in order to be sure that the value is null/empty or not?
BTW, why are you using simpleJSON instead of the new Unity integrated JsonUtility?

how to prevent logging warning in a .get(true , false) statement to appear even though it is true and not false

I am making an application which rarely uses the terminal for output. So, I found that the logging library was a great way to help debug faulty code as supposed to the print statement.
But, for this code, specifically the .get() statement at the bottom...
def process_variables(self, argument):
data = pd.read_excel(self.url, sheet_name=self.sheet)
data = pd.concat([data.iloc[2:102], data.iloc[107:157]]).reset_index()
fb = data.loc[0:99, :].reset_index()
nfb = data.loc[100:155, :].reset_index()
return {'fb': data.loc[0:99, :].reset_index(),
'nfb': data.loc[100:155, :].reset_index(),
'bi': data.loc[np.where(data['Unnamed: 24'] != ' ')],
'uni': data.loc[np.where(data['Unnamed: 25'] != ' ')],
'fb_bi': fb.loc[np.where(fb['Unnamed: 24'] != ' ')],
'fb_uni': fb.loc[np.where(fb['Unnamed: 25'] != ' ')],
'nfb_bi': nfb.loc[np.where(nfb['Unnamed: 24'] != ' ')],
'nfb_uni': nfb.loc[np.where(nfb['Unnamed: 25'] != ' ')],
}.get(argument, f"{logging.warning(f'{argument} not found in specified variables')}")
...returns this...
output
The output returns the default argument even though the switch-case argument was successful, given that it did return the pandas Data frame.
So how can I make it so it only appears when it wasn't found, as it should if it were just a string and not a logging-string method.
Thank you for your help in advance :)
Python evaluates the arguments for the arguments to a function before it calls the function. That's why your logging function will get called regardless of the result of get(). Another thing is your f-string is probably going to evaluate to "None" every time since logging.warning() doesn't return anything, which doesn't seem like what you intended. You should just handle this with a regular if statement like
variables = {
'fb': data.loc[0:99, :].reset_index(),
...
}
if argument in variables:
return variables[argument]
else:
logging.warning(f'{argument} not found in specified variables')

Drools MVEL Dialect - Semi-Colon Requirement

I am just curious as to why my Eclipse Drools compiler (6.5.0) requires semi-colons at the end of statements in the For loop, as below:
Map businessRulesRequest = $root.containsKey("BusinessRulesRequest") ? $root.get("BusinessRulesRequest") : null
Map quoteRequest = businessRulesRequest!=null && businessRulesRequest.containsKey("QuoteRequest") ? businessRulesRequest.get("QuoteRequest") : null
List resultsByKey = quoteRequest!=null && quoteRequest.containsKey("resultsByKey") ? quoteRequest.get("resultsByKey") : new ArrayList()
for (Map search : resultsByKey) {
Map searchInfo = (search.containsKey("searchInfo") ? search.get("searchInfo") : null);
String searchName = searchInfo!=null && searchInfo.containsKey("searchName") ? searchInfo.get("searchName").toString() : "";
List results = (searchName=="quotesMotor" && search.containsKey("results") ? search.get("results") : new ArrayList());
}
If I remove the semi-colons from the first or second lines in the For loop, I get an "unexpected token" error, but not if I remove it from the last line in the loop.
Is it due to Drools evaluating RHS lines as a single statement and so they must be separated inside any loops?
Note: I understand it is not best practice to code assuming semi-colons are not required, however I came across this issue while experimenting and am just interested to know the reason for the compiler error. Thanks.
I guess the answer is because of MVEL itself. Drools may be delegating the entire chunk of code to MVEL to evaluate and execute.
According to this guide, in MVEL the use of a semi-colon is not mandatory in cases where you have 1 statement, or in the last statement of a script.
Hope it helps,

Can i have 2 conditions in protractor expect function? Also give me expect statement to verify whether the getText() has the expected value?

Here i want to combine the below 2 expectations into one.
expect(button.getText()).toEqual('Process Successful');
expect(button.getText().indexOf('- code 3001')).toBeGreaterThan(0);
Also whether the below statement is correct or not. I am trying to verify in the getText() whether expected value is present in the text.
expect(button.getText().indexOf('- code 3001')).toBeGreaterThan(0);
You can use expect().toContain() to verify text contained in string.
expect(button.getText()).toContain('Process Successful');
expect(button.getText()).toContain('- code 3001');
You can also do it in another way,
var buttonContainsText = button.getText().then(function(text){
return (text.indexOf('Process Successful') > -1) && (text.indexOf('- code 3001') > -1)
})
expect(buttonContainsText).toBeTruthy();

how to verify in assertj that elements are one of

I can't find how to do check with assertj the following (which is very common):
Suppose I have:
result1 = {"AAA", "BBB"}
result2 = {"DDD"}
I want to check the values in result is one of these:
String[] valid = String[]{"AAA", "BBB", "CCC"};
using assertj, whould be something as:
assertThat(result1).xxxx(valid);
assertThat(result2).xxxx(valid);
So that result1 would pass check, but result2 not.
contains() does not work (it checks that result contains all valid elements)
I don't want have to create a custom condition for this kind of checking
Any idea?
You can wtite it the other way around:
assertThat(valid).contains(result1);
assertThat(valid).contains(result2);
If you insist on having the result on the left and valid on the right side, you can use:
assertThat(result1).isSubsetOf(Arrays.asList(valid));
assertThat(result2).isSubsetOf(Arrays.asList(valid));
Or, why not to define the valid as a set, rather than an array?
Set<String> valid = Sets.newHashSet("AAA", "BBB", "CCC"); //Sets comes from google guava
assertThat(result1).isSubsetOf(valid);
assertThat(result2).isSubsetOf(valid);

What's wrong with my Meteor publication?

I have a publication, essentially what's below:
Meteor.publish('entity-filings', function publishFunction(cik, queryArray, limit) {
if (!cik || !filingsArray)
console.error('PUBLICATION PROBLEM');
var limit = 40;
var entityFilingsSelector = {};
if (filingsArray.indexOf('all-entity-filings') > -1)
entityFilingsSelector = {ct: 'filing',cik: cik};
else
entityFilingsSelector = {ct:'filing', cik: cik, formNumber: { $in: filingsArray} };
return SB.Content.find(entityFilingsSelector, {
limit: limit
});
});
I'm having trouble with the filingsArray part. filingsArray is an array of regexes for the Mongo $in query. I can hardcode filingsArray in the publication as [/8-K/], and that returns the correct results. But I can't get the query to work properly when I pass the array from the router. See the debugged contents of the array in the image below. The second and third images are the client/server debug contents indicating same content on both client and server, and also identical to when I hardcode the array in the query.
My question is: what am I missing? Why won't my query work, or what are some likely reasons it isn't working?
In that first screenshot, that's a string that looks like a regex literal, not an actual RegExp object. So {$in: ["/8-K/"]} will only match literally "/8-K/", which is not the same as {$in: [/8-K/]}.
Regexes are not EJSON-able objects, so you won't be able to send them over the wire as publish function arguments or method arguments or method return values. I'd recommend sending a string, then inside the publish function, use new RegExp(...) to construct a regex object.
If you're comfortable adding new methods on the RegExp prototype, you could try making RegExp an EJSON-able type, by putting this in your server and client code:
RegExp.prototype.toJSONValue = function () {
return this.source;
};
RegExp.prototype.typeName = function () {
return "regex";
}
EJSON.addType("regex", function (str) {
return new RegExp(str);
});
After doing this, you should be able to use regexes as publish function arguments, method arguments and method return values. See this meteorpad.
/8-K/.. that's a weird regex. Try /8\-K/.
A minus (-) sign is a range indicator and usually used inside square brackets. The reason why it's weird because how could you even calculate a range between 8 and K? If you do not escape that, it probably wouldn't be used to match anything (thus your query would not work). Sometimes, it does work though. Better safe than never.
/8\-K/ matches the string "8-K" anywhere once.. which I assume you are trying to do.
Also it would help if you would ensure your publication would always return something.. here's a good area where you could fail:
if (!cik || !filingsArray)
console.error('PUBLICATION PROBLEM');
If those parameters aren't filled, console.log is probably not the best way to handle it. A better way:
if (!cik || !filingsArray) {
throw "entity-filings: Publication problem.";
return false;
} else {
// .. the rest of your publication
}
This makes sure that the client does not wait unnecessarily long for publications statuses as you have successfully ensured that in any (input) case you returned either false or a Cursor and nothing in between (like surprise undefineds, unfilled Cursors, other garbage data.
