programming languages - What does this explanation of callback mean? -

-



i saw sentence programming language pragmatics, scott

the programmer wants handler—a special subroutine—to invoked when given event occurs. handlers known callback functions, because run-time system calls main program instead of being called it.

i don't quite understand explanation of reason of event handlers named "callback".

what 2 cases mean:

  • "the run-time system calls main program"
  • "being called it", i.e. run-time system called main program?

thanks.

typescript - Typings for sub-folders inside a root index.d.ts -

we created typings material-ui@next , want ship them library, did last beta. here link index.d.ts . but typings not usable in current form. in development used locally , worked fine, when shipping files library typescript seems use different discovery strategy. all typings reference subfolder (e.g. declare 'material-ui/button/button' ) not found typescript. when importing components error show up: [ts] not find declaration file module 'material-ui/button/button'. '<project path>/node_modules/material-ui/button/button.js' implicitly has 'any' type. try `npm install @types/material-ui/button/button` if exists or add new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'material-ui/button/button';` does typescript not accept declaring other imports when used inside npm_modules folder? because said, using them locally or moving them @types/material-ui make them work. also, typescript seems find index.d.ts , because impor...
