Creating anonymous functions Anonymous functions are just like regular Lua functions, except they do not have a name. doThrice(function() print("Hello!") end) As you can see, the function is not assigned to any name like print or add. To create an anonymous function, all you hav...

function sayHello(name) print("Hello, " .. name .. "!") end That function is a simple function, and it works well. But what would happen if we just called sayHello()? stdin:2: attempt to concatenate local 'name' (a nil value) stack traceback: stdin:2: in function ...

Variadic Arguments

function output = mymult(a, b) % MYMULT Multiply two numbers. % output = MYMULT(a, b) multiplies a and b. % % See also fft, foo, sin. % % For more information, see <a href="matlab:web('https://google.com')">Google</a>. output = a * b; end help mymult then p...

git clean -fX Will remove all ignored files from the current directory and all subdirectories. git clean -Xn Will preview all files that will be cleaned.

git clean -fd Will remove all untracked directories and the files within them. It will start at the current working directory and will iterate through all subdirectories. git clean -dn Will preview all directories that will be cleaned.

The padding property sets the padding space on all sides of an element. The padding area is the space between the content of the element and its border. Negative values are not allowed. You can specify a side individually: padding-top padding-right padding-bottom padding-left The following...

The padding property sets the padding space on all sides of an element. The padding area is the space between the content of the element and its border. Negative values are not allowed. To save adding padding to each side individually (using padding-top, padding-left etc) can you write it as a shor...

Implementations in classes, including abstract declarations, take precedence over all interface defaults. Abstract class method takes precedence over Interface Default Method. public interface Swim { default void backStroke() { System.out.println("Swim.backStroke"); ...

TODO: Maybe move the explanations to remarks and add examples separately FOOF In Common Lisp, there is a concept of Generalized References. They allow a programmer to setf values to various "places" as if they were variables. Macros that make use of this ability often have a F-postfix in...

An Anaphoric Macro is a macro that introduces a variable (often IT) that captures the result of a user-supplied form. A common example is the Anaphoric If, which is like a regular IF, but also defines the variable IT to refer to the result of the test-form. (defmacro aif (test-form then-form &o...

Macro expansion is the process of turning macros into actual code. This usually happens as part of the compilation process. The compiler will expand all macro forms before actually compiling code. Macro expansion also happens during interpretation of Lisp code. One can call MACROEXPAND manually to ...

Macros return code. Since code in Lisp consists of lists, one can use the regular list manipulation functions to generate it. ;; A pointless macro (defmacro echo (form) (list 'progn (list 'format t "Form: ~a~%" (list 'quote form)) form)) This is often very hard to...

The expansion of a macro often needs to use symbols that weren't passed as arguments by the user (as names for local variables, for example). One must make sure that such symbols cannot conflict with a symbol that the user is using in the surrounding code. This is usually achieved by using GENSYM, ...

json.Marshal from the package "encoding/json" encodes a value to JSON. The parameter is the value to encode. The returned values are an array of bytes representing the JSON-encoded input (on success), and an error (on failure). decodedValue := []string{"foo", "bar"} ...

json.Unmarshal from the package "encoding/json" decodes a JSON value into the value pointed by the given variable. The parameters are the value to decode in []bytes and a variable to use as a storage for the de-serialized value. The returned value is an error (on failure). encodedValue :...

After following the instructions above and installing Leiningen, start a new project by running: lein new <project-name> This will setup a Clojure project with the default Leiningen template within the <project-name> folder. There are several templates for Leiningen, which affect the...

Given some default routing such as {controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?} if you had the url https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1558902 This would go to the QuestionsController and the value 1558902 would be mapped to an id parameter of an index action, i.e. public ActionResult Index(int? id){ ...

These are form values that go in the HTTP request using the POST method. (including jQuery POST requests). Say you did an ajax post like $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: window.updatePost, data: { id: 21, title: 'snappy title' }, //kept short for clarity }); Here the two values...

Functions in Common Lisp are first class values. An anonymous function can be created by using lambda. For example, here is a function of 3 arguments which we then call using funcall CL-USER> (lambda (a b c) (+ a (* b c))) #<FUNCTION (LAMBDA (A B C)) {10034F484B}> CL-USER> (defvar *fo...
