ViewData is the mechanism for a controller to provide data to the view it presents, without using a ViewModel. Specifically, ViewData is a dictionary which is available both in MVC action methods and views. You may use ViewData to transfer some data from your action method to the view returned by th...

List<String> data = new ArrayList<>(); data.add("Sydney"); data.add("London"); data.add("New York"); data.add("Amsterdam"); data.add("Mumbai"); data.add("California"); System.out.println(data); List<String> sor...

Initialize the UITapGestureRecognizer with a target, self in this case, and an action which is a method that has a single parameter: a UITapGestureRecognizer. After initialization, add it to the view that it should recognize taps in. Swift override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() ...

There are a number of collection types in Python. While types such as int and str hold a single value, collection types hold multiple values. Lists The list type is probably the most commonly used collection type in Python. Despite its name, a list is more like an array in other languages, mostl...

For instance, a computation involving commands to read and write from the prompt: First we describe the "commands" of our computation as a Functor data type {-# LANGUAGE DeriveFunctor #-} data TeletypeF next = PrintLine String next | ReadLine (String -> next) derivin...

There are two parts of a class: the interface and the implementation. The interface is the exposed functionality of the class. Its public methods and variables are part of the interface. The implementation is the internal workings of a class. Other classes shouldn't need to know about the implemen...

Encapsulation allows you to make internal changes to a class without affecting any code that calls the class. This reduces coupling, or how much any given class relies on the implementation of another class. For example, let's change the implementation of the Angle class from the previous example: ...
