Create cryptographically secure random numbers

By default the Python random module use the Mersenne Twister PRNG to generate random numbers, which, although suitable in domains like simulations, fails to meet security requirements in more demanding environments. In order to create a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number, one can use Syst...

Statically Initialized Singleton

public class Singleton { private readonly static Singleton instance = new Singleton(); private Singleton() { } public static Singleton Instance => instance; } This implementation is thread-safe because in this case instance object is initialized in the static constructor. The ...

Lazy, thread-safe Singleton (using Double Checked Locking)

This thread-safe version of a singleton was necessary in the early versions of .NET where static initialization was not guaranteed to be thread-safe. In more modern versions of the framework a statically initialized singleton is usually preferred because it is very easy to make implementation mistak...

Concerns

To avoid repetition in nested routes, concerns provide a great way of sharing common resources that are reusable. To create a concern use the method concern within the routes.rb file. The method expects a symbol and block: concern :commentable do resources :comments end While not creating a...

Loop control with break, next, and redo

The flow of execution of a Ruby block may be controlled with the break, next, and redo statements. break The break statement will exit the block immediately. Any remaining instructions in the block will be skipped, and the iteration will end: actions = %w(run jump swim exit macarena) index = 0 ...

Underlying references of named method delegates

When assigning named methods to delegates, they will refer to the same underlying object if: They are the same instance method, on the same instance of a class They are the same static method on a class public class Greeter { public void WriteInstance() { Console.Write...

Declaring a delegate type

The following syntax creates a delegate type with name NumberInOutDelegate, representing a method which takes an int and returns an int. public delegate int NumberInOutDelegate(int input); This can be used as follows: public static class Program { static void Main() { Number...

The Func, Action and Predicate delegate types

The System namespace contains Func<..., TResult> delegate types with between 0 and 15 generic parameters, returning type TResult. private void UseFunc(Func<string> func) { string output = func(); // Func with a single generic type parameter returns that type Console.WriteLine...

Assigning a named method to a delegate

Named methods can be assigned to delegates with matching signatures: public static class Example { public static int AddOne(int input) { return input + 1; } } Func<int,int> addOne = Example.AddOne Example.AddOne takes an int and returns an int, its signature ...

Delegate Equality

Calling .Equals() on a delegate compares by reference equality: Action action1 = () => Console.WriteLine("Hello delegates"); Action action2 = () => Console.WriteLine("Hello delegates"); Action action1Again = action1; Console.WriteLine(action1.Equals(action1)) // True ...

Assigning to a delegate by lambda

Lambdas can be used to create anonymous methods to assign to a delegate: Func<int,int> addOne = x => x+1; Note that the explicit declaration of type is required when creating a variable this way: var addOne = x => x+1; // Does not work

Case Class Equality

One feature provided for free by case classes is an auto-generated equals method that checks the value equality of all individual member fields instead of just checking the reference equality of the objects. With ordinary classes: class Foo(val i: Int) val a = new Foo(3) val b = new Foo(3) prin...

Type Casting

PHP will generally correctly guess the data type you intend to use from the context it's used in, however sometimes it is useful to manually force a type. This can be accomplished by prefixing the declaration with the name of the required type in parenthesis: $bool = true; var_dump($bool); // bool...

exec statement is a function in Python 3

In Python 2, exec is a statement, with special syntax: exec code [in globals[, locals]]. In Python 3 exec is now a function: exec(code, [, globals[, locals]]), and the Python 2 syntax will raise a SyntaxError. As print was changed from statement into a function, a __future__ import was also added. ...

Closure

Closures in Python are created by function calls. Here, the call to makeInc creates a binding for x that is referenced inside the function inc. Each call to makeInc creates a new instance of this function, but each instance has a link to a different binding of x. def makeInc(x): def inc(y): ...
