This example uses Parallel.For to calculate the sum of the numbers between 1 and 10000 by using multiple threads. To achieve thread-safety, Interlocked.Add is used to sum the numbers. using System.Threading; int Foo() { int total = 0; Parallel.For(1, 10001, () => 0, // in...

Using Code Contracts it is possible to apply a contract to an interface. This is done by declaring an abstract class that implments the interfaces. The interface should be tagged with the ContractClassAttribute and the contract definition (the abstract class) should be tagged with the ContractClas...

Dereferencing happens with the . operator: Object obj = new Object(); String text = obj.toString(); // 'obj' is dereferenced. Dereferencing follows the memory address stored in a reference, to the place in memory where the actual object resides. When an object has been found, the requested meth...

K&R void* is a catch all type for pointers to object types. An example of this in use is with the malloc function, which is declared as void* malloc(size_t); The pointer-to-void return type means that it is possible to assign the return value from malloc to a pointer to any other type of ob...

What is a Set? A set is a data structure which contains a set of elements with an important property that no two elements in the set are equal. Types of Set: HashSet: A set backed by a hash table (actually a HashMap instance) Linked HashSet: A Set backed by Hash table and linked list, with pre...

With Clipping and Masking you can make some specified parts of elements transparent or opaque. Both can be applied to any HTML element. Clipping Clips are vector paths. Outside of this path the element will be transparent, inside it's opaque. Therefore you can define a clip-path property on elemen...

- removeObjectForKey: Removes a given key and its associated value from the dictionary. NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:@{@"key1":@"Easy",@"key2": @"Tutorials"}]; [dict removeObjectForKey:@"key1"]; NSLog...

A declaration introduces an identifier and describes its type, be it a type, object, or function. A declaration is what the compiler needs to accept references to that identifier. These are declarations: extern int bar; extern int g(int, int); double f(int, double); /* extern can be omitted for f...

When writing a copy assignment operator, it is very important that it be able to work in the event of self-assignment. That is, it has to allow this: SomeType t = ...; t = t; Self-assignment usually doesn't happen in such an obvious way. It typically happens via a circuitous route through vario...

(Select, one-to-one) As with ActionBlock, TransformBlock<TInput, TOutput> enables the execution of a delegate to perform some action for each input datum; unlike with ActionBlock, this processing has an output. This delegate can be a Func<TInput, TOutput>, in which case processing of t...

(SelectMany, 1-m: The results of this mapping are “flattened”, just like LINQ’s SelectMany) TransformManyBlock<TInput, TOutput> is very similar to TransformBlock<TInput, TOutput>. The key difference is that whereas a TransformBlock<TInput, TOutput> produces one and only one outpu...

(FIFO Queue: The data that comes in is the data that goes out) In short, BufferBlock provides an unbounded or bounded buffer for storing instances of T. You can “post” instances of T to the block, which cause the data being posted to be stored in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) order by the block. Yo...

Dim sites() As String = {"Stack Overflow", "Super User", "Ask Ubuntu", "Hardware Recommendations"} Dim query = From x In sites Where x.StartsWith("S") ' result = "Stack Overflow", "Super User" Query will be enumerable objec...

Public Function GetUserFirstName(UserName As String) As String Dim Firstname As String = "" 'Specify the SQL that you want to use including a Parameter Dim SQL As String = "select firstname from users where username=@UserName" 'Provide a Data Sourc...

Casting an instance of a base class to a subclass as in : b = (B) a; is called narrowing (as you are trying to narrow the base class object to a more specific class object) and needs an explicit type-cast. Casting an instance of a subclass to a base class as in: A a = b; is called widening and does...

If we try to change an object on the UI thread from a different thread we will get a cross-thread operation exception: Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyButton.Click ' Cross thread-operation exception as the assignment is executed on a different thread '...

Drag 1 textbox and 1 button Double click the button1 and you will be transferred to the Button1_Click event Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click End Sub End Class Type the name of the object that you want to target, ...

Using sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter("path\to\file.txt") sw.WriteLine("Hello world") End Using The use of a Using block is recommended good practice when using an object that Implements IDisposable

std::ifstream f("file.txt"); if (f) { std::stringstream buffer; buffer << f.rdbuf(); f.close(); // The content of "file.txt" is available in the string `buffer.str()` } The rdbuf() method returns a pointer to a streambuf that can be pushed into buffer...

Basic HTTP calls don't provide code-reusability, however. And they can get confused with all the other features you're trying to implement. For those reasons, it's common to implement an API wrapper. Foo = { identify: function(input){ return Http.get('http://foo.net/api/identify/' + input...
