astring = 'thisisashorttext' astring.count('t') # Out: 4 This works even for substrings longer than one character: astring.count('th') # Out: 1 astring.count('is') # Out: 2 astring.count('text') # Out: 1 which would not be possible with collections.Counter which only counts single char...

Import the ElementTree object, open the relevant .xml file and get the root tag: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET tree = ET.parse("yourXMLfile.xml") root = tree.getroot() There are a few ways to search through the tree. First is by iteration: for child in root: print(child.ta...

(Note: All examples using let are also valid for const) var is available in all versions of JavaScript, while let and const are part of ECMAScript 6 and only available in some newer browsers. var is scoped to the containing function or the global space, depending when it is declared: var x = 4; /...

When a function is declared, variables in the context of its declaration are captured in its scope. For example, in the code below, the variable x is bound to a value in the outer scope, and then the reference to x is captured in the context of bar: var x = 4; // declaration in outer scope funct...

By default, a Date object is created as local time. This is not always desirable, for example when communicating a date between a server and a client that do not reside in the same timezone. In this scenario, one doesn't want to worry about timezones at all until the date needs to be displayed in lo...

Java SE 7 As the try-catch-final statement example illustrates, resource cleanup using a finally clause requires a significant amount of "boiler-plate" code to implement the edge-cases correctly. Java 7 provides a much simpler way to deal with this problem in the form of the try-with-res...

Final classes When used in a class declaration, the final modifier prevents other classes from being declared that extend the class. A final class is a "leaf" class in the inheritance class hierarchy. // This declares a final class final class MyFinalClass { /* some code */ } ...

# Set the repository for the scope "myscope" npm config set @myscope:registry http://registry.corporation.com # Login at a repository and associate it with the scope "myscope" npm adduser --registry=http://registry.corporation.com --scope=@myscope # Install a package &quo...

Python 3.2+ has support for %z format when parsing a string into a datetime object. UTC offset in the form +HHMM or -HHMM (empty string if the object is naive). Python 3.x3.2 import datetime dt = datetime.datetime.strptime("2016-04-15T08:27:18-0500", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z"...

Replace by position To replace a portion of a std::string you can use the method replace from std::string. replace has a lot of useful overloads: //Define string std::string str = "Hello foo, bar and world!"; std::string alternate = "Hello foobar"; //1) str.replace(6, 3,...

Use the filesystem module for all file operations: const fs = require('fs'); With Encoding In this example, read hello.txt from the directory /tmp. This operation will be completed in the background and the callback occurs on completion or failure: fs.readFile('/tmp/hello.txt', { encoding: '...

const fs = require('fs'); // Read the contents of the directory /usr/local/bin asynchronously. // The callback will be invoked once the operation has either completed // or failed. fs.readdir('/usr/local/bin', (err, files) => { // On error, show it and return if(err) return console.er...

A C++ namespace is a collection of C++ entities (functions, classes, variables), whose names are prefixed by the name of the namespace. When writing code within a namespace, named entities belonging to that namespace need not be prefixed with the namespace name, but entities outside of it must use t...

The keyword 'using' has three flavors. Combined with keyword 'namespace' you write a 'using directive': If you don't want to write Foo:: in front of every stuff in the namespace Foo, you can use using namespace Foo; to import every single thing out of Foo. namespace Foo { void bar() {} ...

There are several ways to read data from a file. If you know how the data is formatted, you can use the stream extraction operator (>>). Let's assume you have a file named foo.txt which contains the following data: John Doe 25 4 6 1987 Jane Doe 15 5 24 1976 Then you can use the following...

In addition to importing named members from a module or a module's default export, you can also import all members into a namespace binding. import * as test from './test' test.doSomething() All exported members are now available on the test variable. Non-exported members are not available, j...

To create a new branch, while staying on the current branch, use: git branch <name> Generally, the branch name must not contain spaces and is subject to other specifications listed here. To switch to an existing branch : git checkout <name> To create a new branch and switch to it...

jQuery code is often wrapped in jQuery(function($) { ... }); so that it only runs after the DOM has finished loading. <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function($) { // this will set the div's text to "Hello". $("#myDiv").text("Hello"...
