When you have an input with well defined boundaries and are expecting more than one match in your string, you have two options: Using lazy quantifiers; Using a negated character class. Consider the following: You have a simple templating engine, you want to replace substrings like $[foo] whe...

[^0-9a-zA-Z] This will match all characters that are neither numbers nor letters (alphanumerical characters). If the underscore character _ is also to be negated, the expression can be shortened to: [^\w] Or: \W In the following sentences: Hi, what's up? I can't wait for 2017!...

[^0-9] This will match all characters that are not ASCII digits. If Unicode digits are also to be negated, the following expression can be used, depending on your flavor/language settings: [^\d] This can be shortened to: \D You may need to enable Unicode character properties support expl...

Dynamic scoping means that variable lookups occur in the scope where a function is called, not where it is defined. $ x=3 $ func1 () { echo "in func1: $x"; } $ func2 () { local x=9; func1; } $ func2 in func1: 9 $ func1 in func1: 3 In a lexically scoped language, func1 would alway...

If you have an instance of a generic type but for some reason don't know the specific type, you might want to determine the generic arguments that were used to create this instance. Let's say someone created an instance of List<T> like that and passes it to a method: var myList = new List&lt...

pip doesn't current contain a flag to allow a user to update all outdated packages in one shot. However, this can be accomplished by piping commands together in a Linux environment: pip list --outdated --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U This command takes all pa...

The steps of overload resolution are: Find candidate functions via name lookup. Unqualified calls will perform both regular unqualified lookup as well as argument-dependent lookup (if applicable). Filter the set of candidate functions to a set of viable functions. A viable function for whi...

This property points to the main timeline in the case of no custom document class, or the document class if you do define one. Because root is typed DisplayObject, the compi...

You can use all() to determine if all the values in an iterable evaluate to True nums = [1, 1, 0, 1] all(nums) # False chars = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] all(chars) # True Likewise, any() determines if one or more values in an iterable evaluate to True nums = [1, 1, 0, 1] any(nums) # True val...

Count returns the number of elements in an IEnumerable<T>. Count also exposes an optional predicate parameter that allows you to filter the elements you want to count. int[] array = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 3, 1, 2 }; int n = array.Count(); // returns the number of elements in the array int x ...

To search for a string inside a string, there are several functions: indexOf( searchString ) and lastIndexOf( searchString ) indexOf() will return the index of the first occurrence of searchString in the string. If searchString is not found, then -1 is returned. var string = "Hello, World!&q...

Sometimes it is useful to have multiple validations use one condition. It can be easily achieved using with_options. class User < ApplicationRecord with_options if: :is_admin? do |admin| admin.validates :password, length: { minimum: 10 } admin.validates :email, presence: true end...
