List comprehensions are a syntactic construct to create a list based on existing lists. In erlang a list comprehension has the form [Expr || Qualifier1, ..., QualifierN]. Where qualifiers are either generators Pattern <- ListExpr or filter like integer(X) evaluating to either true or false. Th...

ScopedTypeVariables let you refer to universally quantified types inside of a declaration. To be more explicit: import Data.Monoid foo :: forall a b c. (Monoid b, Monoid c) => (a, b, c) -> (b, c) -> (a, b, c) foo (a, b, c) (b', c') = (a :: a, b'', c'') where (b'', c'') = (b <&g...

If an array happens to have one or more nil elements and these need to be removed, the Array#compact or Array#compact! methods can be used, as below. array = [ 1, nil, 'hello', nil, '5', 33] array.compact # => [ 1, 'hello', '5', 33] #notice that the method returns a new copy of the array w...

If you use the [NonSerialized] attribute, then that member will always have its default value after deserialization (ex. 0 for an int, null for string, false for a bool, etc.), regardless of any initialization done in the object itself (constructors, declarations, etc.). To compensate, the attribut...

That would get more control over serialization, how to save and load types Implement ISerializable interface and create an empty constructor to compile [Serializable] public class Item : ISerializable { private string _name; public string Name { get { return _name; } ...

Problem In a similar way that SQL injection allows an attacker to execute arbitrary queries on a database, command-line injection allows someone to run untrusted system commands on a web server. With an improperly secured server this would give an attacker complete control over a system. Let's sa...

We can change the style of the placeholder by setting attributedPlaceholder (a NSAttributedString). var placeholderAttributes = [String: AnyObject]() placeholderAttributes[NSForegroundColorAttributeName] = color placeholderAttributes[NSFontAttributeName] = font if let placeholder = textField.p...

All constructors in Java must make a call to the Object constructor. This is done with the call super(). This has to be the first line in a constructor. The reason for this is so that the object can actually be created on the heap before any additional initialization is performed. If you do not spe...

Arrays can be compared for equality with the aptly named isEqualToArray: method, which returns YES when both arrays have the same number of elements and every pair pass an isEqual: comparison. NSArray *germanMakes = @[@"Mercedes-Benz", @"BMW", @"Porsche", ...

A compound literal is an unnamed object which is created in the scope where is defined. The concept was first introduced in C99 standard. An example for compound literal is Examples from C standard, C11-§6.5.2.5/9: int *p = (int [2]){ 2, 4 }; p is initialized to the address of the first ele...

String concatenation is when you combine two or more strings into a single string variable. String concatenation is performed with the & symbol. Dim one As String = "Hello " Dim two As String = "there" Dim result As String = one & two Non-string values will be conv...

using System; using System.Threading; using System.Threading.Tasks; class Program { static void Main( string[] args ) { object sync = new object(); int sum = 0; Parallel.For( 1, 1000, ( i ) => { lock( sync ) sum = sum + i; // lock is necessa...

Using the Library Database, we try to find the last book added to the database for each author. For this simple example we assume an always incrementing Id for each record added. SELECT MostRecentBook.Name, MostRecentBook.Title FROM ( SELECT Authors.Name, Books.Title, ...

Not all objects can be converted to a JSON string. When an object has cyclic self-references, the conversion will fail. This is typically the case for hierarchical data structures where parent and child both reference each other: const world = { name: 'World', regions: [] }; world.region...

Create a MongoDB connection, that later you can query: $manager = new \MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://localhost:27017'); In the next example, you will learn how to query the connection object. This extension close the connection automatically, it's not necessary to close manually.

Comments are used to explain code when the basic code itself isn't clear. Python ignores comments, and so will not execute code in there, or raise syntax errors for plain english sentences. Single-line comments begin with the hash character (#) and are terminated by the end of line. Single lin...

Transact-SQL supports two forms of comment writing. Comments are ignored by the database engine, and are meant for people to read. Comments are preceded by -- and are ignored until a new line is encountered: -- This is a comment SELECT * FROM MyTable -- This is another comment WHERE Id = 1; ...

ARC can be disabled for individual files by adding the -fno-objc-arc compiler flag for each file. Conversely it can be added in Targets ▸ Build Phases ▸ Compile Sources

Notice, that in order to change file prmissions, your device need to be rooted, su binary doesn't come with factory shipped devices! Convention: adb shell su -c "chmod <numeric-permisson> <file>" Numeric permission constructed from user, group and world sections. For exa...

You can add a "Browse Our Other Apps" button in your app, listing all your(publisher) applications in the Google Play Store app. String urlApp = "market://search?q=pub:Google+Inc."; String urlWeb = "http://play.google.com/store/search?q=pub:Google+Inc."; try { I...
