Enum constants are instantiated when an enum is referenced for the first time. Therefore, that allows to implement Singleton software design pattern with a single-element enum. public enum Attendant { INSTANCE; private Attendant() { // perform some initialization routine ...

To get basic information about a DataFrame including the column names and datatypes: import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame({'integers': [1, 2, 3], 'floats': [1.5, 2.5, 3], 'text': ['a', 'b', 'c'], 'ints with None': [1, None, 3]}) ...

df = pd.DataFrame({'old_name_1': [1, 2, 3], 'old_name_2': [5, 6, 7]}) print(df) # Output: # old_name_1 old_name_2 # 0 1 5 # 1 2 6 # 2 3 7 To rename one or more columns, pass the old names and new names as a dictionary: df.r...

df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [4, 5, 6], 'c': [7, 8, 9]}) To list the column names in a DataFrame: >>> list(df) ['a', 'b', 'c'] This list comprehension method is especially useful when using the debugger: >>> [c for c in df] ['a', 'b', 'c'] This is the long w...

NuGet version Before you start: make sure your NuGet version is up to date. In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Extensions and Updates, then Updates > Visual Studio Gallery. Check if there is a NuGet Update available and install it. Or, you can uninstall the existing nuget and reinstall it. It w...

In Fortran functions and subroutines need to be explicitly declared as recursive, if they are to call themselves again, directly or indirectly. Thus, a recursive implementation of the Fibonacci series could look like this: recursive function fibonacci(term) result(fibo) integer, intent(in) :: te...

You can validate any object, even plain ruby. class User include ActiveModel::Validations attr_reader :name, :age def initialize(name, age) @name = name @age = age end validates :name, presence: true validates :age, numericality: { only_integer: true, greater_than...

Elixir comes with integers and floating point numbers. An integer literal can be written in decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal formats. iex> x = 291 291 iex> x = 0b100100011 291 iex> x = 0o443 291 iex> x = 0x123 291 As Elixir uses bignum arithmetic, the range of int...

If you want to support a url parameter more complex than an id number, you may run into trouble with the parser if the value contains a period. Anything following a period will be assumed to be a format (i.e. json, xml). You can work around this limitation by using a constraint to broaden the accep...

// MARK: - UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout { func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGSize { return ...

As Rails follows the MVC pattern Views are where your "templates" are for your actions. Let's say you have a controller articles_controller.rb. For this controller you would have a folder in views called app/views/articles: app |-- controllers | '-- articles_controller.rb | '-- vie...

You can use an initializer to set default property values: struct Example { var upvotes: Int init() { upvotes = 42 } } let myExample = Example() // call the initializer print(myExample.upvotes) // prints: 42 Or, specify default property values as a part of the property...

struct MetricDistance { var distanceInMeters: Double init(fromCentimeters centimeters: Double) { distanceInMeters = centimeters / 100 } init(fromKilometers kilos: Double) { distanceInMeters = kilos * 1000 } } let myDistance = MetricDistance(fromCentim...

The Number constructor has some built in constants that can be useful Number.MAX_VALUE; // 1.7976931348623157e+308 Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER; // 9007199254740991 Number.MIN_VALUE; // 5e-324 Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER; // -9007199254740991 Number.EPSILON; // 0.000...

open my $fh, '<', $filename or die "Could not open $filename for reading: $!"; my $contents = do { local $/; <$fh> }; After opening the file (read man perlio if you want to read specific file encodings instead of raw bytes), the trick is in the do block: <$fh>, the ...

This is a minimalist module that only slurps files into variables, nothing else. use File::Slurper 'read_text'; my $contents = read_text($filename); read_text() takes two optional parameters to specify the file encoding and whether line endings should be translated between the unixish LF or DOS...

Don't use it. Although it has been around for a long time and is still the module most programmers will suggest, it is broken and not likely to be fixed.

To uninstall a package: $ pip uninstall SomePackage

To list installed packages: $ pip list # example output docutils (0.9.1) Jinja2 (2.6) Pygments (1.5) Sphinx (1.1.2) To list outdated packages, and show the latest version available: $ pip list --outdated # example output docutils (Current: 0.9.1 Latest: 0.10) Sphinx (Current: 1.1.2 Late...

Running $ pip install --upgrade SomePackage will upgrade package SomePackage and all its dependencies. Also, pip automatically removes older version of the package before upgrade. To upgrade pip itself, do $ pip install --upgrade pip on Unix or $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip on ...
