When validating that an integer falls in a range the check includes the minimum and maximum bounds: $options = array( 'options' => array( 'min_range' => 5, 'max_range' => 10, ) ); var_dump(filter_var('5', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, $options)); var_dump(filter_var('...

In PHP 5.3+ and above you can utilize late static binding to control which class a static property or method is called from. It was added to overcome the problem inherent with the self:: scope resolutor. Take the following code class Horse { public static function whatToSay() { echo ...

const auto input = "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think \"I know, I'll use regular expressions.\""s; smatch sm; cout << input << endl; // If input ends in a quotation that contains a word that begins with "reg" and another word begining...

You can nest lists to represent sub-items of a list item. <ul> <li>item 1</li> <li>item 2 <ul> <li>sub-item 2.1</li> <li>sub-item 2.2</li> </ul> </li> <li>item 3</li> </ul> ...

Generators are useful when you need to generate a large collection to later iterate over. They're a simpler alternative to creating a class that implements an Iterator, which is often overkill. For example, consider the below function. function randomNumbers(int $length) { $array = []; ...

Our randomNumbers() function can be re-written to use a generator. <?php function randomNumbers(int $length) { for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { // yield tells the PHP interpreter that this value // should be the one used in the current iteration. yield mt...

The AppCompat Support Library defines several useful styles for Buttons, each of which extend a base Widget.AppCompat.Button style that is applied to all buttons by default if you are using an AppCompat theme. This style helps ensure that all buttons look the same by default following the Material D...

Atomic vectors (which excludes lists and expressions, which are also vectors) are subset using the [ operator: # create an example vector v1 <- c("a", "b", "c", "d") # select the third element v1[3] ## [1] "c" The [ operator can also tak...

A list can be subset with [: l1 <- list(c(1, 2, 3), 'two' = c("a", "b", "c"), list(10, 20)) l1 ## [[1]] ## [1] 1 2 3 ## ## $two ## [1] "a" "b" "c" ## ## [[3]] ## [[3]][[1]] ## [1] 10 ## ## [[3]][[2]] ## [1] 20 l1[1] ##...

For each dimension of an object, the [ operator takes one argument. Vectors have one dimension and take one argument. Matrices and data frames have two dimensions and take two arguments, given as [i, j] where i is the row and j is the column. Indexing starts at 1. ## a sample matrix mat <- matr...

Subsetting a data frame into a smaller data frame can be accomplished the same as subsetting a list. > df3 <- data.frame(x = 1:3, y = c("a", "b", "c"), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) > df3 ## x y ## 1 1 a ## 2 2 b ## 3 3 c > df3[1] # Subset a varia...

There are only two string operators: Concatenation of two strings (dot): $a = "a"; $b = "b"; $c = $a . $b; // $c => "ab" Concatenating assignment (dot=): $a = "a"; $a .= "b"; // $a => "ab"

$a = "some string"; results in $a having the value some string. The result of an assignment expression is the value being assigned. Note that a single equal sign = is NOT for comparison! $a = 3; $b = ($a = 5); does the following: Line 1 assigns 3 to $a. Line 2 assigns 5 to $a....

The combined assignment operators are a shortcut for an operation on some variable and subsequently assigning this new value to that variable. Arithmetic: $a = 1; // basic assignment $a += 2; // read as '$a = $a + 2'; $a now is (1 + 2) => 3 $a -= 1; // $a now is (3 - 1) => 2 $a *= 2; //...

The order in which operators are evaluated is determined by the operator precedence (see also the Remarks section). In $a = 2 * 3 + 4; $a gets a value of 10 because 2 * 3 is evaluated first (multiplication has a higher precedence than addition) yielding a sub-result of 6 + 4, which equals to 10...

Left association If the preceedence of two operators is equal, the associativity determines the grouping (see also the Remarks section): $a = 5 * 3 % 2; // $a now is (5 * 3) % 2 => (15 % 2) => 1 * and % have equal precedence and left associativity. Because the multiplication occurs first ...

Simple check To check if constant is defined use the defined function. Note that this function doesn't care about constant's value, it only cares if the constant exists or not. Even if the value of the constant is null or false the function will still return true. <?php define("GOOD&quo...

Constants are created using the const statement or the define function. The convention is to use UPPERCASE letters for constant names. Define constant using explicit values const PI = 3.14; // float define("EARTH_IS_FLAT", false); // boolean const "UNKNOWN" = null; // null d...
