If the variable contains a value of an immutable type (e.g. a string) then it is okay to assign a default value like this class Rectangle(object): def __init__(self, width, height, color='blue'): self.width = width self.height = height self.color = color d...

Whenever you attempt to retrieve a certain field from a class like so: $animal = new Animal(); $height = $animal->height; PHP invokes the magic method __get($name), with $name equal to "height" in this case. Writing to a class field like so: $animal->height = 10; Will invoke...

In Erlang, numbers are either integers or floats. Erlang uses arbitrary-precision for integers (bignums), so their values are limited only by the memory size of your system. 1> 11. 11 2> -44. -44 3> 0.1. 0.1 4> 5.1e-3. 0.0051 5> 5.2e2. 520.0 Numbers can be used in various...

A binary is a sequence of unsigned 8-bit bytes. 1> <<1,2,3,255>>. <<1,2,3,255>> 2> <<256,257,258>>. <<0,1,2>> 3> <<"hello","world">>. <<"helloworld">> A bitstring is a generalized ...

XSLT is a special-purpose programming language; it is widely used for transforming XML documents either into a different XML format, into HTML, or into text-based formats. There are two main versions of XSLT in use: XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0. XSLT 1.0 is more widely implemented but has many restriction...

Migrations in a Laravel 5 application live in the database/migrations directory. Their filenames conform to a particular format: <year>_<month>_<day>_<hour><minute><second>_<name>.php One migration file should represent a schema update to solve a particu...

Creating a new migration file with the correct filename every time you need to change your schema would be a chore. Thankfully, Laravel's artisan command can generate the migration for you: php artisan make:migration add_last_logged_in_to_users_table You can also use the --table and --create fla...

Each migration should have an up() method and a down() method. The purpose of the up() method is to perform the required operations to put the database schema in its new state, and the purpose of the down() method is to reverse any operations performed by the up() method. Ensuring that the down() me...

Once your migration is written, running it will apply the operations to your database. php artisan migrate If all went well, you'll see an output similar to the below: Migrated: 2016_07_21_134310_add_last_logged_in_to_users_table Laravel is clever enough to know when you're running migration...

.rds and .Rdata (also known as .rda) files can be used to store R objects in a format native to R. There are multiple advantages of saving this way when contrasted with non-native storage approaches, e.g. write.table: It is faster to restore the data to R It keeps R specific information encoded ...

Run-length encoding captures the lengths of runs of consecutive elements in a vector. Consider an example vector: dat <- c(1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 4, 4, 1, 1) The rle function extracts each run and its length: r <- rle(dat) r # Run Length Encoding # lengths: int [1:6] 1 3 1 1 2 2 # valu...

One of the first questions people have when they begin to use PowerShell for scripting is how to manipulate the output from a cmdlet to perform another action. The pipeline symbol | is used at the end of a cmdlet to take the data it exports and feed it to the next cmdlet. A simple example is using...

The virtualenvwrapper utility simplifies working with virtual environments and is especially useful if you are dealing with many virtual environments/projects. Instead of having to deal with the virtual environment directories yourself, virtualenvwrapper manages them for you, by storing all virtual...

The OR (||) operator returns true if one of its two operands evaluates to true, otherwise it returns false. For example, the following code evaluates to true because at least one of the expressions either side of the OR operator is true: if (10 < 20) || (20 < 10) { print("Expression...

Similar to rgb() notation, but with an additional alpha (opacity) value. .red { /* Opaque red */ color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1); } .red-50p { /* Half-translucent red. */ color: rgba(255, 0, 0, .5); } Syntax rgba(<red>, <green>, <blue>, <alpha>); Va...
