Generic functions

Generic functions allow some or all of their arguments to be parameterised. fn convert_values<T, U>(input_value: T) -> Result<U, String> { // Try and convert the value. // Actual code will require bounds on the types T, U to be able to do something with them. } If the compi...

Using expression in string literals

You can use curly braces to interpolate expressions into string literals: def f(x: String) = x + x val a = "A" s"${a}" // "A" s"${f(a)}" // "AA" Without the braces, scala would only interpolate the identifier after the $ (in this case f...

Reduce an array to chained promises

This design pattern is useful for generating a sequence of asynchronous actions from a list of elements. There are two variants : the "then" reduction, which builds a chain that continues as long as the chain experiences success. the "catch" reduction, which builds a chain t...

Reading or writing through a null pointer

int *ptr = nullptr; *ptr = 1; // Undefined behavior This is undefined behavior, because a null pointer does not point to any valid object, so there is no object at *ptr to write to. Although this most often causes a segmentation fault, it is undefined and anything can happen.

No return statement for a function with a non-void return type

Omitting the return statement in a function which is has a return type that is not void is undefined behavior. int function() { // Missing return statement } int main() { function(); //Undefined Behavior } Most modern day compilers emit a warning at compile time for this kind o...

Switch off properties during macro execution

It is best practice in any programming language to avoid premature optimization. However, if testing reveals that your code is running too slowly, you may gain some speed by switching off some of the application’s properties while it runs. Add this code to a standard module: Public Sub SpeedUp( _ ...
