Module Pattern The Module pattern is a creational and structural design pattern which provides a way of encapsulating private members while producing a public API. This is accomplished by creating an IIFE which allows us to define variables only available in its scope (through closure) while return...

Data frames are likely the data structure you will used most in your analyses. A data frame is a special kind of list that stores same-length vectors of different classes. You create data frames using the data.frame function. The example below shows this by combining a numeric and a character vector...

Lists allow users to store multiple elements (like vectors and matrices) under a single object. You can use the list function to create a list: l1 <- list(c(1, 2, 3), c("a", "b", "c")) l1 ## [[1]] ## [1] 1 2 3 ## ## [[2]] ## [1] "a" "b" &q...

With fixed pattern stri_count_fixed("babab", "b") # [1] 3 stri_count_fixed("babab", "ba") # [1] 2 stri_count_fixed("babab", "bab") # [1] 1 Natively: length(gregexpr("b","babab")[[1]]) # [1] 3 length(gregexpr(...

stri_dup("abc",3) # [1] "abcabcabc" A base R solution that does the same would look like this: paste0(rep("abc",3),collapse = "") # [1] "abcabcabc"

You can specify different application IDs or package names for each buildType or productFlavor using the applicationIdSuffix configuration attribute: Example of suffixing the applicationId for each buildType: defaultConfig { applicationId "com.package.android" minSdkVersion 17 ...

This is an example of a function which returns a string. In the example, the function is called in a statement assigning a value to a variable. The value in this case is the return value of the function. function Get-Greeting{ "Hello World" } # Invoking the function $greeting ...

A compound view is a custom ViewGroup that's treated as a single view by the surrounding program code. Such a ViewGroup can be really useful in DDD-like design, because it can correspond to an aggregate, in this example, a Contact. It can be reused everywhere that contact is displayed. This means t...

Sometimes, we need to update the progress of the computation done by an AsyncTask. This progress could be represented by a string, an integer, etc. To do this, we have to use two functions. First, we need to set the onProgressUpdate function whose parameter type is the same as the second type parame...

If the user authorizes your application, they will be redirected to the following URL: https://[your registered redirect URI]/#access_token=[an access token] &scope=[authorized scopes] Note that the access token is in the URL fragment and not the query string. This means the value w...

Glide includes two default transformations, fit center and center crop. Fit center: Glide.with(context) .load(yourUrl) .fitCenter() .into(yourView); Fit center performs the same transformation as Android's ScaleType.FIT_CENTER. Center crop: Glide.with(context) .load(yourUr...

A major problem with parallelization is the used of RNG as seeds. Random numbers by the number are iterated by the number of operations from either the start of the session or the most recent set.seed(). Since parallel processes arise from the same function, it can use the same seed, possibly causin...

If there are sections of code that you are considering removing or want to temporarily disable, you can comment it out with a block comment. /* Block comment around whole function to keep it from getting used. * What's even the purpose of this function? int myUnusedFunction(void) { int i =...

Let's say we have the following structure: struct MY_STRUCT { int my_int; float my_float; }; We can define MY_STRUCT to omit the struct keyword so we don't have to type struct MY_STRUCT each time we use it. This, however, is optional. typedef struct MY_STRUCT MY_STRUCT; If we th...

If MsgBox("Click OK") = vbOK Then can be used in place of If MsgBox("Click OK") = 1 Then in order to improve readability. Use Object Browser to find available VB constants. View → Object Browser or F2 from VB Editor. Enter class to search View members available ...

Descriptive names and structure in your code help make comments unnecessary Dim ductWidth As Double Dim ductHeight As Double Dim ductArea As Double ductArea = ductWidth * ductHeight is better than Dim a, w, h a = w * h This is especially helpful when you are copying data from one ...

Let's define a function of 2 arguments: def add: (Int, Int) => Int = (x,y) => x + y val three = add(1,2) Currying add transforms it into a function that takes one Int and returns a function (from one Int to an Int) val addCurried: (Int) => (Int => Int) = add2.curried // ...

The .GetValueOrDefault() method returns a value even if the .HasValue property is false (unlike the Value property, which throws an exception). class Program { static void Main() { int? nullableExample = null; int result = nullableExample.GetValueOrDefault(); C...

When filtering a value that should be an integer filter_var() will return the filtered data, in this case the integer, or false if the value is not an integer. Floats are not integers: var_dump(filter_var('10', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)); var_dump(filter_var('a10', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)); var_dump(filt...
