C99 C99 introduced the concept of designated initializers. These allow you to specify which elements of an array, structure or union are to be initialized by the values following. Designated initializers for array elements For a simple type like plain int: int array[] = { [4] = 29, [5] = 31, [1...

8 The Object.values() method returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property values, in the same order as that provided by a for...in loop (the difference being that a for-in loop enumerates properties in the prototype chain as well). var obj = { 0: 'a', 1: 'b', 2: 'c' }; console.log...

The original C standard had no intrinsic Boolean type, so bool, true and false had no inherent meaning and were often defined by programmers. Typically true would be defined as 1 and false would be defined as 0. C99 C99 adds the built-in type _Bool and the header <stdbool.h> which defines bo...

It is unlikely that someone uses an unsupported version of Django, and at his own risks. If ever someone does, it must be his concern to know if a feature exists in the given version.

This is a mistake that causes real confusion for Java beginners, at least the first time that they do it. Instead of writing this: if (feeling == HAPPY) System.out.println("Smile"); else System.out.println("Frown"); they accidentally write this: if (feeling == HAP...

You can define the signing configuration in an external file as a signing.properties in the root directory of your project. For example you can define these keys (you can use your favorite names): STORE_FILE=myStoreFileLocation STORE_PASSWORD=myStorePassword KEY_ALIAS=myKeyAlias KEY_PASSWOR...

There are many querying operations on maps. member :: Ord k => k -> Map k a -> Bool yields True if the key of type k is in Map k a: > Map.member "Alex" $ Map.singleton "Alex" 31 True > Map.member "Jenny" $ Map.empty False notMember is similar: &g...

In Normal Mode, commands can be entered by direct key combinations (typing u to undo the last change, for example). These commands often have equivalents in 'ex' mode, accessed by typing a colon :, which drops you into a single-line buffer at the bottom of the Vim window. In 'ex' mode, after typing...

Automapper can be installed from nuget running the following command in Package Manager Console: Install-Package AutoMapper Then it can be included in different files within the project it has been installed to by using directives: using AutoMapper;

Unlike a parallel for-loop (parfor), which takes the iterations of a loop and distributes them among multiple threads, a single program, multiple data (spmd) statement takes a series of commands and distributes them to all the threads, so that each thread performs the command and stores the results....

Using Alternatives Many Linux distributions use the alternatives command for switching between different versions of a command. You can use this for switching between different versions of Java installed on a machine. In a command shell, set $JDK to the pathname of a newly installed JDK; e.g....

All libraries come with resources that are not necessary useful to your application. For example Google Play Services comes with translations for languages your own application don’t even support. You can configure the build.gradle file to specify which resource you want to keep. For example: de...

Iterating over connected serial ports using System.IO.Ports; string[] ports = SerialPort.GetPortNames(); for (int i = 0; i < ports.Length; i++) { Console.WriteLine(ports[i]); } Instantiating a System.IO.SerialPort object using System.IO.Ports; SerialPort port = new SerialPort(); ...

This example is about replacing a List element while ensuring that the replacement element is at the same position as the element that is replaced. This can be done using these methods: set(int index, T type) int indexOf(T type) Consider an ArrayList containing the elements "Program sta...

For a class Person like: public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } public string Clothes { get; set; } } var person1 = new Person { Name = "Jon", Age = 20, Clothes = "some clothes" }; var person2 = new Person { Name ...

For given type Person: public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } public string Clothes { get; set; } } List<Person> persons = new List<Person> { new Person{ Name = "Jon", Age = 20, Clothes = "some clothes...
