int* foo(int bar) { int baz = 6; baz += bar; return &baz; /* (&baz) copied to new memory location outside of foo. */ } /* (1) The lifetime of baz and bar end here as they have automatic storage * duration (local variables), thus the returned pointer is not valid! */ ...

Sorting an Array

var array = [3, 2, 1] Creating a new sorted array As Array conforms to SequenceType, we can generate a new array of the sorted elements using a built in sort method. 2.12.2 In Swift 2, this is done with the sort() method. let sorted = array.sort() // [1, 2, 3] 3.0 As of Swift 3, it has...

Creating a branch using direct URL to URL copy

Branching in Subversion is very simple. In the simplest form, creating a new branch requires you to run the command against the remote repository's URLs. For example, let's create a new branch out of the mainline trunk: svn copy https://svn.example.com/svn/MyRepo/MyProject/trunk https://svn.example...

Creating a branch through a working copy

When you interact with the remote central repository using your private local workspace -- the working copy -- you can use repository-relative URL instead of direct URL to URL copy to create a new branch: svn copy "^/MyProject/trunk" "^/MyProject/branches/MyNewBranch" -m "C...

Deleting a file using unlink or unlinkSync

Delete a file asynchronously: var fs = require('fs'); fs.unlink('/path/to/file.txt', function(err) { if (err) throw err; console.log('file deleted'); }); You can also delete it synchronously*: var fs = require('fs'); fs.unlinkSync('/path/to/file.txt'); console.log('file deleted'...
