As we know that we should use synchronized keyword to make execution of a method or block exclusive. But few of us may not be aware of one more important aspect of using synchronized and volatile keyword: apart from making a unit of code atomic, it also provides read / write barrier. What is this re...

Linux uses some conventions for present and parent directories. This can be a little confusing for beginners. Whenever you are in a terminal in Linux, you will be in what is called the current working directory. Often your command prompt will display either the full working directory, or just the l...

private static void Main(string[] args) { var a = new A(); var b = new B(); //implicit task parallelism Parallel.Invoke( () => a.DoSomeWork(), () => b.DoSomeOtherWork() ); }

Corner radius for all 4 edges: UIBezierPath* rectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect: CGRectMake(x,y,width,height) cornerRadius: 11]; [UIColor.grayColor setFill]; [rectanglePath fill]; Corner radius for top-left edge: UIBezierPath* rectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPat...

For a simple circle: UIBezierPath* ovalPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect: CGRectMake(0,0,50,50)]; [UIColor.grayColor setFill]; [ovalPath fill]; Swift: let ovalPath = UIBezierPath(ovalInRect: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50)) UIColor.grayColor().setFill() ovalPath.fill...

This example shows how to open a default dialer (an app that makes regular calls) with a provided telephone number already in place: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL); intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:9988776655")); //Replace with valid phone number. Remember to add the tel: pr...

You can pass latitude, longitude from your app to Google map using Intent String uri = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:%f,%f", 28.43242324,77.8977673); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)); startActivity(intent);

Variables are annotated using comments: x = 3 # type: int x = negate(x) x = 'a type-checker might catch this error' Python 3.x3.6 Starting from Python 3.6, there is also new syntax for variable annotations. The code above might use the form x: int = 3 Unlike with comments, it is also pos...

A way to use confirm() is when some UI action does some destructive changes to the page and is better accompanied by a notification and a user confirmation - like i.e. before deleting a post message: <div id="post-102"> <p>I like Confirm modals.</p> <a data-dele...

const int a = 0; /* This variable is "unmodifiable", the compiler should throw an error when this variable is changed */ int b = 0; /* This variable is modifiable */ b += 10; /* Changes the value of 'b' */ a += 10; /* Throws a compiler error */ The const qualif...

Here we make a simple echo websocket using asyncio. We define coroutines for connecting to a server and sending/receiving messages. The communcations of the websocket are run in a main coroutine, which is run by an event loop. This example is modified from a prior post. import asyncio import ai...

A singleton is a pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to one instance/object. Using a decorator, we can define a class as a singleton by forcing the class to either return an existing instance of the class or create a new instance (if it doesn't exist). def singleton(cls): i...

Using vanilla mathematics: var from:Point = new Point(100, 50); var to:Point = new Point(80, 95); var angle:Number = Math.atan2(to.y - from.y, to.x - from.x); Using a new vector representing the difference between the first two: var difference:Point = to.subtract(from); var angle:Number ...

A whole circle is 360 degrees or Math.PI * 2 radians. Half of those values follows to be 180 degrees or Math.PI radians. A quarter is then 90 degrees or Math.PI / 2 radians. To get a segment as a percentage of a whole circle in radians: function getSegment(percent:Number):Number { retur...

Assuming you have the angle you'd like to move in and an object with x and y values you want to move: var position:Point = new Point(10, 10); var angle:Number = 1.25; You can move along the x axis with Math.cos: position.x += Math.cos(angle); And the y axis with Math.sin: position.y += Mat...

You can test whether a point is inside a rectangle using Rectangle.containsPoint(): var point:Point = new Point(5, 5); var rectangle:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 10, 10); var contains:Boolean = rectangle.containsPoint(point); // true

You can spec collections in a number of ways. coll-of allows you to spec collections and provide some additional constraints. Here's a simple example: (clojure.spec/valid? (clojure.spec/coll-of int?) [1 2 3]) ;; => true (clojure.spec/valid? (clojure.spec/coll-of int?) '(1 2 3)) ;; => tru...

A While loop starts by evaluating a condition. If it is true, the body of the loop is executed. After the body of the loop is executed, the While condition is evaluated again to determine whether to re-execute the body. Dim iteration As Integer = 1 While iteration <= 10 Console.Writeline(ite...
