The double-negation !! is not a distinct JavaScript operator nor a special syntax but rather just a sequence of two negations. It is used to convert the value of any type to its appropriate true or false Boolean value depending on whether it is truthy or falsy. !!1 // true !!0 ...

All Java exceptions are instances of classes in the Exception class hierarchy. This can be represented as follows: java.lang.Throwable - This is the base class for all exception classes. Its methods and constructors implement a range of functionality common to all exceptions. java.lang.Excep...

x = (1, 2, 3) x[0] # 1 x[1] # 2 x[2] # 3 x[3] # IndexError: tuple index out of range Indexing with negative numbers will start from the last element as -1: x[-1] # 3 x[-2] # 2 x[-3] # 1 x[-4] # IndexError: tuple index out of range Indexing a range of elements print(x[:-1]) # (1,...

A context manager is an object that is notified when a context (a block of code) starts and ends. You commonly use one with the with statement. It takes care of the notifying. For example, file objects are context managers. When a context ends, the file object is closed automatically: open_file = ...

In Python 2, an iterator can be traversed by using a method called next on the iterator itself: Python 2.x2.3 g = (i for i in range(0, 3)) g.next() # Yields 0 g.next() # Yields 1 g.next() # Yields 2 In Python 3 the .next method has been renamed to .__next__, acknowledging its “magic” ro...

x and y are extracted from the tuple: val (x, y) = (1337, 42) // x: Int = 1337 // y: Int = 42 To ignore a value use _: val (_, y: Int) = (1337, 42) // y: Int = 42 To unpack an extractor: val myTuple = (1337, 42) myTuple._1 // res0: Int = 1337 myTuple._2 // res1: Int = 42 Note that...

A case class is a class with a lot of standard boilerplate code automatically included. One benefit of this is that Scala makes it easy to use extractors with case classes. case class Person(name: String, age: Int) // Define the case class val p = Person("Paola", 42) // Instantiate a v...

Defining position as fixed we can remove an element from the document flow and set its position relatively to the browser window. One obvious use is when we want something to be visible when we scroll to the bottom of a long page. #stickyDiv { position:fixed; top:10px; left:10px; } ...

A context manager is any object that implements two magic methods __enter__() and __exit__() (although it can implement other methods as well): class AContextManager(): def __enter__(self): print("Entered") # optionally return an object return "A-ins...

To raise an exception use Kernel#raise passing the exception class and/or message: raise StandardError # raises a StandardError.new raise StandardError, "An error" # raises a StandardError.new("An error") You can also simply pass an error message. In this case, the message i...

A custom exception is any class that extends Exception or a subclass of Exception. In general, you should always extend StandardError or a descendant. The Exception family are usually for virtual-machine or system errors, rescuing them can prevent a forced interruption from working as expected. # ...

Use the begin/rescue block to catch (rescue) an exception and handle it: begin # an execution that may fail rescue # something to execute in case of failure end A rescue clause is analogous to a catch block in a curly brace language like C# or Java. A bare rescue like this rescues Stand...

You can handle multiple errors in the same rescue declaration: begin # an execution that may fail rescue FirstError, SecondError => e # do something if a FirstError or SecondError occurs end You can also add multiple rescue declarations: begin # an execution that may fail rescue ...

In order to exit Vim, first make sure you are in Normal mode by pressing Esc. :q Enter (will prevent you from exiting if you have unsaved changes - short for :quit) To discard changes and exit Vim: :q! Enter to force exit and discard changes (short for :quit!, not to be confused with :!q), ...

There is already a function sum(). As a result, if we name a variable with the same name sum = 1+3; and if we try to use the function while the variable still exists in the workspace A = rand(2); sum(A,1) we will get the cryptic error: Subscript indices must either be real positive integer...

The function in_array() returns true if an item exists in an array. $fruits = ['banana', 'apple']; $foo = in_array('banana', $fruits); // $foo value is true $bar = in_array('orange', $fruits); // $bar value is false You can also use the function array_search() to get the key of a specifi...

Govendor is a tool that is used to import 3rd party packages into your code repository in a way that is compatible with golang's vendoring. Say for example that you are using a 3rd party package bosun.org/slog: package main import "bosun.org/slog" func main() { slog.Infof(&quo...
