Parameters to a function can be marked as mandatory function Get-Greeting{ param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$name ) "Hello World $name" } If the function is invoked without a value, the command line will prompt for the value: $greeting = Get-Greeting ...

A compound view is a custom ViewGroup that's treated as a single view by the surrounding program code. Such a ViewGroup can be really useful in DDD-like design, because it can correspond to an aggregate, in this example, a Contact. It can be reused everywhere that contact is displayed. This means t...

This example listens for input coming in over the serial connection, then repeats it back out the same connection. byte incomingBytes; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Opens serial port, sets data rate to 9600 bps. } void loop() { // Send data only when you receive...

If the user authorizes your application, they will be redirected to the following URL: https://[your registered redirect URI]/#access_token=[an access token] &scope=[authorized scopes] Note that the access token is in the URL fragment and not the query string. This means the value w...

Class constants provide a mechanism for holding fixed values in a program. That is, they provide a way of giving a name (and associated compile-time checking) to a value like 3.14 or "Apple". Class constants can only be defined with the const keyword - the define function cannot be used in...

This section provides code and benchmarks for ten unique example implementations which iterate over the entries of a Map<Integer, Integer> and generate the sum of the Integer values. All of the examples have an algorithmic complexity of Θ(n), however, the benchmarks are still useful for provid...

Glide includes two default transformations, fit center and center crop. Fit center: Glide.with(context) .load(yourUrl) .fitCenter() .into(yourView); Fit center performs the same transformation as Android's ScaleType.FIT_CENTER. Center crop: Glide.with(context) .load(yourUr...

The base package parallel allows parallel computation through forking, sockets, and random-number generation. Detect the number of cores present on the localhost: parallel::detectCores(all.tests = FALSE, logical = TRUE) Create a cluster of the cores on the localhost: parallelCluster <- para...

A major problem with parallelization is the used of RNG as seeds. Random numbers by the number are iterated by the number of operations from either the start of the session or the most recent set.seed(). Since parallel processes arise from the same function, it can use the same seed, possibly causin...

To share your code you create a repository on a remote server to which you will copy your local repository. To minimize the use of space on the remote server you create a bare repository: one which has only the .git objects and doesn't create a working copy in the filesystem. As a bonus you set thi...

Let's say we have the following structure: struct MY_STRUCT { int my_int; float my_float; }; We can define MY_STRUCT to omit the struct keyword so we don't have to type struct MY_STRUCT each time we use it. This, however, is optional. typedef struct MY_STRUCT MY_STRUCT; If we th...

If MsgBox("Click OK") = vbOK Then can be used in place of If MsgBox("Click OK") = 1 Then in order to improve readability. Use Object Browser to find available VB constants. View → Object Browser or F2 from VB Editor. Enter class to search View members available ...

Descriptive names and structure in your code help make comments unnecessary Dim ductWidth As Double Dim ductHeight As Double Dim ductArea As Double ductArea = ductWidth * ductHeight is better than Dim a, w, h a = w * h This is especially helpful when you are copying data from one ...

Good error handling prevents end users from seeing VBA runtime errors and helps the developer easily diagnose and correct errors. There are three main methods of Error Handling in VBA, two of which should be avoided for distributed programs unless specifically required in the code. On Error GoTo 0...

The .GetValueOrDefault() method returns a value even if the .HasValue property is false (unlike the Value property, which throws an exception). class Program { static void Main() { int? nullableExample = null; int result = nullableExample.GetValueOrDefault(); C...

When filtering an email address filter_var() will return the filtered data, in this case the email address, or false if a valid email address cannot be found: var_dump(filter_var('[email protected]', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)); var_dump(filter_var('notValidEmail', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)); Results: ...

When filtering a value that should be an integer filter_var() will return the filtered data, in this case the integer, or false if the value is not an integer. Floats are not integers: var_dump(filter_var('10', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)); var_dump(filter_var('a10', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)); var_dump(filt...

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('...

When filtering a URL filter_var() will return the filtered data, in this case the URL, or false if a valid URL cannot be found: URL: example.com var_dump(filter_var('example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)); var_dump(filter_var('example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED)); var_du...

There are two ways you can bind a GridView. You can either manually do it by setting the DataSource property and calling DataBind(), or you can use a DataSourceControl such as a SqlDataSource. Manual Binding Create your GridView: <asp:GridView ID="gvColors" runat="server"&g...
