traverse_ executes an Applicative action for every element in a Foldable structure. It ignores the action's result, keeping only the side-effects. (For a version which doesn't discard results, use Traversable.) -- using the Writer applicative functor (and the Sum monoid) ghci> runWriter $ trave...

In Python you can define a series of conditionals using if for the first one, elif for the rest, up until the final (optional) else for anything not caught by the other conditionals. number = 5 if number > 2: print("Number is bigger than 2.") elif number < 2: # Optional cl...

The ternary operator is used for inline conditional expressions. It is best used in simple, concise operations that are easily read. The order of the arguments is different from many other languages (such as C, Ruby, Java, etc.), which may lead to bugs when people unfamiliar with Python's "s...

Here is some sample XML against which example XPaths can be written: <r> <e a="1"/> <f a="2" b="1">Text 1</f> <f/> <g> <i c="2">Text 2</i> Text 3 <j>Text 4</j> </g&gt...

JavaScript will try to automatically convert variables to more appropriate types upon use. It's usually advised to do conversions explicitly (see other examples), but it's still worth knowing what conversions take place implicitly. "1" + 5 === "15" // 5 got converted to string. ...

A new thread separate from the main thread's execution, can be created using Thread.new. thr = Thread.new { sleep 1 # 1 second sleep of sub thread puts "Whats the big deal" } This will automatically start the execution of the new thread. To freeze execution of the main Thread, ...

Python 2.x2.3 Objects of different types can be compared. The results are arbitrary, but consistent. They are ordered such that None is less than anything else, numeric types are smaller than non-numeric types, and everything else is ordered lexicographically by type. Thus, an int is less than a st...

Any type can be declared as an array using either the dimension attribute or by just indicating directly the dimension(s) of the array: ! One dimensional array with 4 elements integer, dimension(4) :: foo ! Two dimensional array with 4 rows and 2 columns real, dimension(4, 2) :: bar ! Three...

def say_hello_to(name) puts "Hello #{name}" end say_hello_to('Charles') # Hello Charles

def greet(greeting, name) puts "#{greeting} #{name}" end greet('Hi', 'Sophie') # Hi Sophie

def welcome_guests(*guests) guests.each { |guest| puts "Welcome #{guest}!" } end welcome_guests('Tom') # Welcome Tom! welcome_guests('Rob', 'Sally', 'Lucas') # Welcome Rob! # Welcome Sally! # W...

fn main() { // Statically allocated string slice let hello = "Hello world"; // This is equivalent to the previous one let hello_again: &'static str = "Hello world"; // An empty String let mut string = String::new(); // An empty String ...

Let's say we have an interface for logging: interface Logger { function log($message); } Now say we have two concrete implementations of the Logger interface: the FileLogger and the ConsoleLogger. class FileLogger implements Logger { public function log($message) { // Append...

Arrays are available in most programming languages, often using square [] or round () brackets to access the elements, e.g. Carray[6] or VBarray(6).

foo.h #ifndef FOO_DOT_H /* This is an "include guard" */ #define FOO_DOT_H /* prevents the file from being included twice. */ /* Including a header file twice causes all kinds */ /* of interesting problems.*/ /** * This is a functi...

Use of global variables is generally discouraged. It makes your program more difficult to understand, and harder to debug. But sometimes using a global variable is acceptable. global.h #ifndef GLOBAL_DOT_H /* This is an "include guard" */ #define GLOBAL_DOT_H /** * This tells ...
