Functions are only useful if we can call them. To call a function the following syntax is used: print("Hello, World!") We're calling the print function. Using the argument "Hello, World". As is obvious, this will print Hello, World to the output stream. The returned value is ...

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 ...

Functions in Lua can return multiple results. For example: function triple(x) return x, x, x end When calling a function, to save these values, you must use the following syntax: local a, b, c = triple(5) Which will result in a = b = c = 5 in this case. It is also possible to ignore r...

Instance methods are functions that belong to instances of a type in Swift (a class, struct, enumeration, or protocol). Type methods are called on a type itself. Instance Methods Instance methods are defined with a func declaration inside the definition of the type, or in an extension. class Coun...

Views, in an MVC pattern, contain the logic on how to present data to the user. In a web application, typically they are used to generate the HTML output that is sent back to users with each response. By default, views in Laravel are stored in the resources/views directory. A view can be called u...

The protected keyword marks field, methods properties and nested classes for use inside the same class and derived classes only: public class Foo() { protected void SomeFooMethod() { //do something } protected class Thing { private string blah; ...

home_url() is used for retrieving the current site home url. <?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) ); ?> Output http://www.example.com

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 -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.

In addition to reading data with Eloquent, you can also use it to insert or update data with the save() method. If you have created a new model instance then the record will be inserted; otherwise, if you have retrieved a model from the database and set new values, it will be updated. In this exa...

You can delete data after writing it to the database. You can either delete a model instance if you have retrieved one, or specify conditions for which records to delete. To delete a model instance, retrieve it and call the delete() method: $user = User::find(1); $user->delete(); Alternat...

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...

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, ...

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){ ...
