astring = 'thisisashorttext' astring.count('t') # Out: 4 This works even for substrings longer than one character: astring.count('th') # Out: 1 astring.count('is') # Out: 2 astring.count('text') # Out: 1 which would not be possible with collections.Counter which only counts single char...

Import the ElementTree object, open the relevant .xml file and get the root tag: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET tree = ET.parse("yourXMLfile.xml") root = tree.getroot() There are a few ways to search through the tree. First is by iteration: for child in root: print(child.ta...

(Note: All examples using let are also valid for const) var is available in all versions of JavaScript, while let and const are part of ECMAScript 6 and only available in some newer browsers. var is scoped to the containing function or the global space, depending when it is declared: var x = 4; /...

Java SE 7 As the try-catch-final statement example illustrates, resource cleanup using a finally clause requires a significant amount of "boiler-plate" code to implement the edge-cases correctly. Java 7 provides a much simpler way to deal with this problem in the form of the try-with-res...

Replace by position To replace a portion of a std::string you can use the method replace from std::string. replace has a lot of useful overloads: //Define string std::string str = "Hello foo, bar and world!"; std::string alternate = "Hello foobar"; //1) str.replace(6, 3,...

You can concatenate std::strings using the overloaded + and += operators. Using the + operator: std::string hello = "Hello"; std::string world = "world"; std::string helloworld = hello + world; // "Helloworld" Using the += operator: std::string hello = "Hel...

const fs = require('fs'); // Read the contents of the directory /usr/local/bin asynchronously. // The callback will be invoked once the operation has either completed // or failed. fs.readdir('/usr/local/bin', (err, files) => { // On error, show it and return if(err) return console.er...

Use Case CASE can be used in conjunction with SUM to return a count of only those items matching a pre-defined condition. (This is similar to COUNTIF in Excel.) The trick is to return binary results indicating matches, so the "1"s returned for matching entries can be summed for a count o...

A C++ namespace is a collection of C++ entities (functions, classes, variables), whose names are prefixed by the name of the namespace. When writing code within a namespace, named entities belonging to that namespace need not be prefixed with the namespace name, but entities outside of it must use t...

A useful feature of namespaces is that you can expand them (add members to it). namespace Foo { void bar() {} } //some other stuff namespace Foo { void bar2() {} }

Opening a file is done in the same way for all 3 file streams (ifstream, ofstream, and fstream). You can open the file directly in the constructor: std::ifstream ifs("foo.txt"); // ifstream: Opens file "foo.txt" for reading only. std::ofstream ofs("foo.txt"); // ...

When creating a file stream, you can specify an opening mode. An opening mode is basically a setting to control how the stream opens the file. (All modes can be found in the std::ios namespace.) An opening mode can be provided as second parameter to the constructor of a file stream or to its open(...

In addition to importing named members from a module or a module's default export, you can also import all members into a namespace binding. import * as test from './test' test.doSomething() All exported members are now available on the test variable. Non-exported members are not available, j...

Let's say you've got a list of restaurants -- maybe you read it from a file. You care about the unique restaurants in the list. The best way to get the unique elements from a list is to turn it into a set: restaurants = ["McDonald's", "Burger King", "McDonald's", &qu...

jQuery code is often wrapped in jQuery(function($) { ... }); so that it only runs after the DOM has finished loading. <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function($) { // this will set the div's text to "Hello". $("#myDiv").text("Hello"...

To remove an element inside an array, e.g. the element with the index 1. $fruit = array("bananas", "apples", "peaches"); unset($fruit[1]); This will remove the apples from the list, but notice that unset does not change the indexes of the remaining elements. So $fr...

# Length of a string $ var='12345' $ echo "${#var}" 5 Note that it's the length in number of characters which is not necessarily the same as the number of bytes (like in UTF-8 where most characters are encoded in more than one byte), nor the number of glyphs/graphemes (some of which ...

One of the most common tasks is retrieving an existing element from the DOM to manipulate. Most commonly these methods are executed on document, because it is the root node, but all these methods work on any HTML element in the tree. They will only return children from the node it is executed on. R...

An element can be cloned by invoking the cloneNode method on it. If the first parameter passed to cloneNode is true, the children of the original will also be cloned. var original = document.getElementsByTagName("li")[0]; var clone = original.cloneNode(true);

Many databases allow to make the primary key value automatically increment when a new key is added. This ensures that every key is different. MySQL CREATE TABLE Employees ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (Id) ); PostgreSQL CREATE TABLE Employees ( Id SERIAL PRIMARY...
