Collections and Maps evaluates to true if not null and not empty and false if null or empty /* an empty map example*/ def userInfo = [:] if (!userInfo) userInfo << ['user': 'Groot', 'species' : 'unknown' ] will add user: 'Groot' , species : 'unknown' as default userInfo since the u...

a null object reference evaluates to false, a non null reference to true, but for for strings, collections, iterators and enumerations it also takes into account the size. def m = null if (!m) println "empty" else println "${m}" will print "empty" de...

Sometimes it may be useful to have a specific asBoolean definition in your own program for some kind of objects. /** an oversimplified robot controller */ class RunController { def complexCondition int position = 0 def asBoolean() { return complexCondition(this...

The n & (n - 1) trick (see Remove rightmost set bit) is also useful to determine if an integer is a power of 2: bool power_of_2 = n && !(n & (n - 1)); Note that without the first part of the check (n &&), 0 is incorrectly considered a power of 2.

Inspecting an Object You can find the public methods an object can respond to using either the methods or public_methods methods, which return an array of symbols: class Foo def bar; 42; end end f = Foo.new def f.yay; 17; end p f.methods.sort #=> [:!, :!=, :!~, :<=>, :==, :===, :=...

It is possible to query an object about its instance variables using instance_variables, instance_variable_defined?, and instance_variable_get, and modify them using instance_variable_set and remove_instance_variable: class Foo attr_reader :bar def initialize @bar = 42 end end f = F...

The Kernel exposes methods for getting the list of global_variables and local_variables: cats = 42 $demo = "in progress" p global_variables.sort #=> [:$!, :$", :$$, :$&, :$', :$*, :$+, :$,, :$-0, :$-F, :$-I, :$-K, :$-W, :$-a, #=> :$-d, :$-i, :$-l, :$-p, :$-v, :$-w, :$...

Alert controller has a property which is used to put emphases on an action added in the alert controller. This property can be used to highlight a particular action for user attention.For objective C; @property(nonatomic, strong) UIAlertAction *preferredAction An action which is already added in...

// Usage: var arc={ cx:150, cy:150, innerRadius:75, outerRadius:100, startAngle:-Math.PI/4, endAngle:Math.PI } drawArc(arc,'skyblue','gray',4); function drawArc(a,fill,stroke,strokewidth){ ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(a.cx,a.cy,a.innerRadius,a.startAngle,a.endAngle); ...

Create a Java class which extends org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.hive.UDAF Create an inner class which implements UDAFEvaluator Implement five methods init() – This method initializes the evaluator and resets its internal state. We are using new Column() in the code below to indicate th...

Another PCRE-compliant modifier expressed with /A modifier. If this modifier is set, the pattern is forced to be "anchored", that is, it is constrained to match only at the start of the string which is being searched (the "subject string"). This effect can also be achieved by ap...

One more PCRE modifier that allows the use of duplicate named groups. NOTE: only inline version is supported - (?J), and must be placed at the start of the pattern. If you use /(?J)\w+-(?:new-(?<val>\w+)|\d+-empty-(?<val>[^-]+)-collection)/ the "val" group values will be ...

filePath = "file.csv" data = np.genfromtxt(filePath) Many options are supported, see official documentation for full list: data = np.genfromtxt(filePath, dtype='float', delimiter=';', skip_header=1, usecols=(0,1,3) )

When a Java virtual machine starts, it needs to know how big to make the Heap, and the default size for thread stacks. These can be specified using command-line options on the java command. For versions of Java prior to Java 8, you can also specify the size of the PermGen region of the Heap. Note...

Reading invalid UTF-8 When reading UTF-8 encoded data, it is important to be aware of the fact the UTF-8 encoded data can be invalid or malformed. Such data should usually not be accepted by your program (unless you know what you are doing). When unexpectedly encountering malformed data, different ...

Objective C NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"YOUR URL"]; AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videoURL]; AVPlayerLayer *playerLayer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:player]; playerLayer.frame = self.view.bounds; [self.view.layer addSublayer:playerLayer]; [player play];...

NSMutableDictionary *attributesDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary]; [attributesDictionary setObject:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14] forKey:NSFontAttributeName]; //[attributesDictionary setObject:[UIColor redColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName]; NSMutableAttributedString *attri...

To create a Swift Package, open a Terminal then create an empty folder: mkdir AwesomeProject cd AwesomeProject And init a Git repository: git init Then create the package itself. One could create the package structure manually but there's a simple way using the CLI command. If you want to ...

Since an enum can be cast to and from its underlying integral type, the value may fall outside the range of values given in the definition of the enum type. Although the below enum type DaysOfWeek only has 7 defined values, it can still hold any int value. public enum DaysOfWeek { Monday = 1...
