As we know that we should use synchronized keyword to make execution of a method or block exclusive. But few of us may not be aware of one more important aspect of using synchronized and volatile keyword: apart from making a unit of code atomic, it also provides read / write barrier. What is this re...

Go to editor (from tool window) Esc Switching focus to corresponding tool window Windows: Alt + <tool window number> OS X / macOS: Cmd + <tool window number> For example switching focus to the project window Windows: Alt + 1 OS X / macOS: Cmd + 1 Recent files popup Windows: Ctrl...

It is common within applications to need to have code like this : a = a + 1 or a = a * 2 There is an effective shortcut for these in place operations : a += 1 # and a *= 2 Any mathematic operator can be used before the '=' character to make an inplace operation : -= decrement the va...

All of the Bitwise operators (except ~) have their own in place versions a = 0b001 a &= 0b010 # a = 0b000 a = 0b001 a |= 0b010 # a = 0b011 a = 0b001 a <<= 2 # a = 0b100 a = 0b100 a >>= 2 # a = 0b001 a = 0b101 a ^= 0b011 # a = 0b110

This example assumes that you have experience in creating Rails applications. To create an API-only app in Rails 5, run rails new name-of-app --api Add active_model_serializers in Gemfile gem 'active_model_serializers' install bundle in terminal bundle install Set the ActiveModelSeriali...

Corner radius for all 4 edges: UIBezierPath* rectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect: CGRectMake(x,y,width,height) cornerRadius: 11]; [UIColor.grayColor setFill]; [rectanglePath fill]; Corner radius for top-left edge: UIBezierPath* rectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPat...

For a simple circle: UIBezierPath* ovalPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect: CGRectMake(0,0,50,50)]; [UIColor.grayColor setFill]; [ovalPath fill]; Swift: let ovalPath = UIBezierPath(ovalInRect: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50)) UIColor.grayColor().setFill() ovalPath.fill...

For bezier path to get resized based on the view frame, override the drawRect of view that you are drawing the bezier path : - (void)drawRect:(CGRect)frame { UIBezierPath* rectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect: CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(frame), CGRectGetMinY(frame), CGRectGetWidth(f...

Consider a simple rectangle that is drawn by the bezier path. UIBezierPath* rectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect: CGRectMake(x,y,width,height)]; [UIColor.grayColor setFill]; [rectanglePath fill]; Basic Outer-fill shadow: CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();...

Ruby has an or-equals operator that allows a value to be assigned to a variable if and only if that variable evaluates to either nil or false. ||= # this is the operator that achieves this. this operator with the double pipes representing or and the equals sign representing assigning of a valu...

Ruby has a ternary operator (?:), which returns one of two value based on if a condition evaluates as truthy: conditional ? value_if_truthy : value_if_falsy value = true value ? "true" : "false" #=> "true" value = false value ? "true" : "fals...

You can pass latitude, longitude from your app to Google map using Intent String uri = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:%f,%f", 28.43242324,77.8977673); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)); startActivity(intent);

Rules for creating a dictionary: Every key must be unique (otherwise it will be overridden) Every key must be hashable (can use the hash function to hash it; otherwise TypeError will be thrown) There is no particular order for the keys. # Creating and populating it with values stock = {'egg...

def foobar(foo=None, bar=None): return "{}{}".format(foo, bar) values = {"foo": "foo", "bar": "bar"} foobar(**values) # "foobar"

Variables are annotated using comments: x = 3 # type: int x = negate(x) x = 'a type-checker might catch this error' Python 3.x3.6 Starting from Python 3.6, there is also new syntax for variable annotations. The code above might use the form x: int = 3 Unlike with comments, it is also pos...

One way to mock a function is to use the create_autospec function, which will mock out an object according to its specs. With functions, we can use this to ensure that they are called appropriately. With a function multiply in custom_math.py: def multiply(a, b): return a * b And a function...

You can force deallocate objects even if their refcount isn't 0 in both Python 2 and 3. Both versions use the ctypes module to do so. WARNING: doing this will leave your Python environment unstable and prone to crashing without a traceback! Using this method could also introduce security problems ...
