Using the System.String.Replace method, you can replace part of a string with another string. string s = "Hello World"; s = s.Replace("World", "Universe"); // s = "Hello Universe" All the occurrences of the search string are replaced. This method can al...

Problem: If after the AsyncTask starts there is a screen rotation the owning activity is destroyed and recreated. When the AsyncTask finishes it wants to update the UI that may not valid anymore. Solution: Using Loaders, one can easily overcome the activity destruction/recreation. Example: ...

One method for creating recursive lambda functions involves assigning the function to a variable and then referencing that variable within the function itself. A common example of this is the recursive calculation of the factorial of a number - such as shown in the following code: lambda_factorial ...

It is easy to get confused in the C preprocessor, and treat it as part of C itself, but that is a mistake because the preprocessor is just a text substitution mechanism. For example, if you write /* WRONG */ #define MAX 100; int arr[MAX]; the code expands to int arr[100;]; which is a synta...

While Python has an assert statement, the Python unit testing framework has better assertions specialized for tests: they are more informative on failures, and do not depend on the execution's debug mode. Perhaps the simplest assertion is assertTrue, which can be used like this: import unittest ...

Pattern matching can be used effectively with awk as it controls the actions that follows it i.e. { pattern } { action }. One cool use of the pattern-matching is to select multiple between two patterns in a file say patternA and patternB $ awk '/patternA/,/patternB/' file Assume my file contents...

A simple EntitySystem that processes each entity of a given family in the order specified by a comparator and calls processEntity() for each entity every time the EntitySystem is updated. This is really just a convenience class as rendering systems tend to iterate over a list of entities in a sort...

When I first started managing the keyboard I would use separate Notifications in each ViewController. Notification Method (Using NSNotification): class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().a...

To create seeders, you may use the make:seeder Artisan command. All seeders generated will be placed in the database/seeds directory. $ php artisan make:seeder MoviesTableSeeder Generated seeders will contain one method: run. You may insert data into your database in this method. <?php us...

To split strings, Guava introduces the Splitter class. Why not use Java's splitting capabilities? As a rule, Guava does not duplicate functionality that is readily available in Java. Why then do we need an additional Splitter class? Do the split methods in Java's String class not provide us with a...

Selecting all accounts that have open opportunity records under them SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE AccountId IN (SELECT Id FROM Opportunity WHERE IsClosed = false)

When state_below is a 2D Tensor, U is a 2D weights matrix, b is a class_size-length vector: logits = tf.matmul(state_below, U) + b return tf.nn.softmax(logits) When state_below is a 3D tensor, U, b as before: def softmax_fn(current_input): logits = tf.matmul(current_input, U) + b ret...

To initialize a static final fields that require using more than a single expression, a static initializer can be used to assign the value. The following example initializes a unmodifiable set of Strings: public class MyClass { public static final Set<String> WORDS; static {...

Person = Struct.new :name do def greet(someone) "Hello #{someone}! I am #{name}!" end end Person.new('Alice').greet 'Bob' # => "Hello Bob! I am Alice!"

Let us first create a simple .proto file person.proto package Protocol; message Person { required string firstName = 1; required string lastName = 2; optional int32 age = 3; } After saving we can now create the Haskell files which we can use in our project by running ...

Any String can be evaluated at runtime. class Example def self.foo :foo end end eval "Example.foo" #=> :foo

A use case that comes across frequently, is creating a String from a stream, where the stream-items are separated by a certain character. The Collectors.joining() method can be used for this, like in the following example: Stream<String> fruitStream = Stream.of("apple", "banana...

The following snippet replaces all Attributes called "PreviousAttribute" by an Attribute called "ReplacementAttribute" for an entire solution. The sample manually uses a SyntaxRewriter to exchange the attributes. /// <summary> /// The CSharpSyntaxRewriter allows to rewrit...
