A common pattern in C# is using bool TryParse(object input, out object value) to safely parse objects. The out var declaration is a simple feature to improve readability. It allows a variable to be declared at the same time that is it passed as an out parameter. A variable declared this way is sco...

The underscore _ may be used as a digit separator. Being able to group digits in large numeric literals has a significant impact on readability. The underscore may occur anywhere in a numeric literal except as noted below. Different groupings may make sense in different scenarios or with different ...

Define AccumulatorParam import org.apache.spark.AccumulatorParam object StringAccumulator extends AccumulatorParam[String] { def zero(s: String): String = s def addInPlace(s1: String, s2: String)= s1 + s2 } Use: val accumulator = sc.accumulator("")(StringAccumulator) sc.pa...

Define AccumulatorParam: from pyspark import AccumulatorParam class StringAccumulator(AccumulatorParam): def zero(self, s): return s def addInPlace(self, s1, s2): return s1 + s2 accumulator = sc.accumulator("", StringAccumulator()) def add(x): gl...

Preconditions allows methods to provide minimum required values for input parameters Example... void DoWork(string input) { Contract.Requires(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(input)); //do work } Static Analysis Result...

Postconditions ensure that the returned results from a method will match the provided definition. This provides the caller with a definition of the expected result. Postconditions may allowed for simplied implmentations as some possible outcomes can be provided by the static analyizer. Example......

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context); //Set Title builder.setTitle("Reset...") //Set Message .setMessage("Are you sure?") //Set the icon of the dialog .setIcon(drawable) //Set...

Let there be Activity B that can be opened, and can further start more Activities. But, user should not encounter it when navigating back in task activities. The simplest solution is to set the attribute noHistory to true for that <activity> tag in AndroidManifest.xml: <activity a...

When the destructor for std::thread is invoked, a call to either join() or detach() must have been made. If a thread has not been joined or detached, then by default std::terminate will be called. Using RAII, this is generally simple enough to accomplish: class thread_joiner { public: thre...

This example was done in order to demonstrate how you can perform a deep filter in a child array without the necessity of a custom filter. Controller: (function() { "use strict"; angular .module('app', []) .controller('mainCtrl', mainCtrl); function mainCtrl() { ...

.SD .SD refers to the subset of the data.table for each group, excluding all columns used in by. .SD along with lapply can be used to apply any function to multiple columns by group in a data.table We will continue using the same built-in dataset, mtcars: mtcars = data.table(mtcars) # Let's not ...

SyncAdapter /** * Define a sync adapter for the app. * <p/> * <p>This class is instantiated in {@link SyncService}, which also binds SyncAdapter to the system. * SyncAdapter should only be initialized in SyncService, never anywhere else. * <p/> * <p>The system ca...

Validating array form input fields is very simple. Suppose you have to validate each name, email and father name in a given array. You could do the following: $validator = \Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'name.*' => 'required', 'email.*' => 'email|unique:users'...

Sometimes you want to add an element to the beginning of an array without modifying any of the current elements (order) within the array. Whenever this is the case, you can use array_unshift(). array_unshift() prepends passed elements to the front of the array. Note that the list of elements is ...

When running from the CLI, PHP exhibits some different behaviours than when run from a web server. These differences should be kept in mind, especially in the case where the same script might be run from both environments. No directory change When running a script from a web server, the current w...

Dynamic binding, also referred as method overriding is an example of run time polymorphism that occurs when multiple classes contain different implementations of the same method, but the object that the method will be called on is unknown until run time. This is useful if a certain condition dicta...

The @var keyword can be used to describe the type and usage of: a class property a local or global variable a class or global constant class Example { /** @var string This is something that stays the same */ const UNCHANGING = "Untouchable"; /** @var string $some_s...

There are a number of different ways to install the AWS CLI on your machine, depending on what operating system and environment you are using: On Microsoft Windows – use the MSI installer. On Linux, OS X, or Unix – use pip (a package manager for Python software) or install manually with the bundle...

The preferred way of describing dependencies is by using constructor injection which follows Explicit Dependencies Principle: ITestService.cs public interface ITestService { int GenerateRandom(); } TestService.cs public class TestService : ITestService { public int GenerateRando...
