def minus(left: Int, right: Int) = left - right val numberMinus5 = minus(_: Int, 5) val fiveMinusNumber = minus(5, _: Int) numberMinus5(7) // 2 fiveMinusNumber(7) // -2

To create a collection of n copies of some object x, use the fill method. This example creates a List, but this can work with other collections for which fill makes sense: // List.fill(n)(x) scala > List.fill(3)("Hello World") res0: List[String] = List(Hello World, Hello World, Hello...

Partial functions are often used to define a total function in parts: sealed trait SuperType case object A extends SuperType case object B extends SuperType case object C extends SuperType val pfA: PartialFunction[SuperType, Int] = { case A => 5 } val pfB: PartialFunction[SuperType,...

Scala has a special type of function called a partial function, which extends normal functions -- meaning that a PartialFunction instance can be used wherever Function1 is expected. Partial functions can be defined anonymously using case syntax also used in pattern matching: val pf: PartialFunction...

Partial functions are very common in idiomatic Scala. They are often used for their convenient case-based syntax to define total functions over traits: sealed trait SuperType // `sealed` modifier allows inheritance within current build-unit only case object A extends SuperType case object B exten...

For...Next loop is used for repeating the same action for a finite number of times. The statements inside the following loop will be executed 11 times. The first time, i will have the value 0, the second time it will have the value 1, the last time it will have the value 10. For i As Integer = 0 To...

Some JavaScript engines (for example, the current version of Node.js and older versions of Chrome before Ignition+turbofan) don't run the optimizer on functions that contain a try/catch block. If you need to handle exceptions in performance-critical code, it can be faster in some cases to keep the ...

Use .slice() to extract substrings given two indices: var s = "0123456789abcdefg"; s.slice(0, 5); // "01234" s.slice(5, 6); // "5" Given one index, it will take from that index to the end of the string: s.slice(10); // "abcdefg"

Use .split to go from strings to an array of the split substrings: var s = "one, two, three, four, five" s.split(", "); // ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five"] Use the array method .join to go back to a string: s.split(&...

All JavaScript strings are unicode! var s = "some ∆≈ƒ unicode ¡™£¢¢¢"; s.charCodeAt(5); // 8710 There are no raw byte or binary strings in JavaScript. To effectively handle binary data, use Typed Arrays.

To detect whether a parameter is a primitive string, use typeof: var aString = "my string"; var anInt = 5; var anObj = {}; typeof aString === "string"; // true typeof anInt === "string"; // false typeof anObj === "string"; // false If you ev...

Flask lets you use templates for dynamic web page content. An example project structure for using templates is as follows: myproject/ /app/ /templates/ /index.html /views.py views.py: from flask import Flask, render_template app = Flask(__name__) @app...

This demonstrates how to print each element of a Map val map = Map(1 -> "a", 2 -> "b") for (number <- map) println(number) // prints (1,a), (2,b) for ((key, value) <- map) println(value) // prints a, b This demonstrates how to print each element of a list val l...

Full example code included at the end Windows components for OpenGL WGL WGL (can be pronounced wiggle) stands for "Windows-GL", as in "an interface between Windows and OpenGL" - a set of functions from the Windows API to communicate with OpenGL. WGL functions have a wgl prefix...

var MyDict = new Dictionary<string,T>(StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)

The Scala compiler will automatically convert methods into function values for the purpose of passing them into higher-order functions. object MyObject { def mapMethod(input: Int): String = { int.toString } } Seq(1, 2, 3).map(MyObject.mapMethod) // Seq("1", "2", &...

using System.Runtime.InteropServices; class PInvokeExample { [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] public static extern uint MessageBox(IntPtr hWnd, String text, String caption, int options); public static void test() { MessageBox(IntPtr.Zero,...

Use pinvoke.net. Before declaring an extern Windows API function in your code, consider looking for it on pinvoke.net. They most likely already have a suitable declaration with all supporting types and good examples.

Arrays of simple type [DllImport("Example.dll")] static extern void SetArray( [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, SizeConst = 128)] byte[] data); Arrays of string [DllImport("Example.dll")] static extern void SetStrArray(string[] textLines);

If you want to check that a string contains only a certain set of characters, in this case a-z, A-Z and 0-9, you can do so like this, import re def is_allowed(string): characherRegex = re.compile(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9.]') string = characherRegex.search(string) return not bool(string) ...
