Preferences can be used to store user settings that reflect a user's personal application settings, e.g. their editor font, whether they prefer the application to be started in full-screen mode, whether they checked a "don't show this again" checkbox and things like that. public class Exi...

A very common guideline in object oriented design is "as little as possible but as much as necessary". This also applies to the strategy pattern: It is usually advisable to hide implementation details, for example which classes actually implement strategies. For simple strategies which do...

When calling a function without an explicit namespace qualifier, the compiler can choose to call a function within a namespace if one of the parameter types to that function is also in that namespace. This is called "Argument Dependent Lookup", or ADL: namespace Test { int call(int i)...

Classes are identifiers for the elements that they are assigned to. Use the class attribute to assign a class to an element. <div class="example-class"></div> To assign multiple classes to an element, separate the class names with spaces. <div class="class1 class2&...

The ID attribute of an element is an identifier which must be unique in the whole document. Its purpose is to uniquely identify the element when linking (using an anchor), scripting, or styling (with CSS). <div id="example-id"></div> You should not have two elements with th...

Setting a filter applies to all channels that you will subscribe to from that particular client. This client filter excludes messages that have this subscriber's UUID set at the sender's UUID: NSString *expression = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"(uuid != '%@'", se...

This example uses the Dropbox .NET library to try to get the metadata for an item at a particular path, and checks for a NotFound error: try { var metadata = await this.client.Files.GetMetadataAsync("/non-existant path"); Console.WriteLine(metadata.Name); } catch (Dropbox.Api.A...

If you want to squash the previous x commits into a single one, you can use the following commands: git reset --soft HEAD~x git commit Replacing x with the number of previous commits you want to be included in the squashed commit. Mind that this will create a new commit, essentially forgetting...

C++14 Lambdas can capture expressions, rather than just variables. This permits lambdas to store move-only types: auto p = std::make_unique<T>(...); auto lamb = [p = std::move(p)]() //Overrides capture-by-value of `p`. { p->SomeFunc(); }; This moves the outer p variable into th...

If you precede a local variable's name with an &, then the variable will be captured by reference. Conceptually, this means that the lambda's closure type will have a reference variable, initialized as a reference to the corresponding variable from outside of the lambda's scope. Any use of the v...

c++14 Lambda functions can take arguments of arbitrary types. This allows a lambda to be more generic: auto twice = [](auto x){ return x+x; }; int i = twice(2); // i == 4 std::string s = twice("hello"); // s == "hellohello" This is implemented in C++ by making the closur...

To authenticate to Watson services, you need credentials for each service that you plan to use. Depending on the service, you will need to pass a username and password with Basic Authentication, or you will need to pass an API key in a parameter for each request you make. How to get credentials for...

In this tutorial we're going to learn how to set up the PayPal Android SDK to process a simple payment via either a PayPal payment or a credit card purchase. At the end of this example, you should have a simple button in an application that, when clicked, will forward the user to PayPal to confirm a...

If you need to create a JSONObject and put data in it, consider the following example: // Create a new javax.json.JSONObject instance. JSONObject first = new JSONObject(); first.put("foo", "bar"); first.put("temperature", 21.5); first.put("year", 2016);...

Top-level extension methods are not contained within a class. fun IntArray.addTo(dest: IntArray) { for (i in 0 .. size - 1) { dest[i] += this[i] } } Above an extension method is defined for the type IntArray. Note that the object for which the extension method is defined (cal...

The extension method to be called is determined at compile-time based on the reference-type of the variable being accessed. It doesn't matter what the variable's type is at runtime, the same extension method will always be called. open class Super class Sub : Super() fun Super.myExtension()...

When an API is marked with NS_REFINED_FOR_SWIFT, it will be prefixed with two underscores (__) when imported to Swift: @interface MyClass : NSObject - (NSInteger)indexOfObject:(id)obj NS_REFINED_FOR_SWIFT; @end The generated interface looks like this: public class MyClass : NSObject { publ...

Pull properties from an object passed into a function. This pattern simulates named parameters instead of relying on argument position. let user = { name: 'Jill', age: 33, profession: 'Pilot' } function greeting ({name, profession}) { console.log(`Hello, ${name} the ${pr...

The json_encode function will convert a PHP array (or, since PHP 5.4, an object which implements the JsonSerializable interface) to a JSON-encoded string. It returns a JSON-encoded string on success or FALSE on failure. $array = [ 'name' => 'Jeff', 'age' => 20, 'active' => ...

#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { /* Always ensure that your string is large enough to contain the characters * and a terminating NUL character ('\0')! */ char mystring[10]; /* Copy "foo" into `mystring`, until a NUL character is en...
