#You can use pattern matching to run different #functions based on which parameters you pass #This example uses pattern matching to start, #run, and end a recursive function defmodule Counter do def count_to do count_to(100, 0) #No argument, init with 100 end def ...

g$ The above matches one letter (the letter g) at the end of a string in most regex engines (not in Oniguruma, where the $ anchor matches the end of a line by default, and the m (MULTILINE) modifier is used to make a . match any characters including line break characters, as a DOTALL modifier in ...

my $filename = '/path/to/file'; open my $fh, '<', $filename or die "Failed to open file: $filename"; # You can then either read the file one line at a time... while(chomp(my $line = <$fh>)) { print $line . "\n"; } # ...or read whole file into an arra...

You can use subqueries to define a temporary table and use it in the FROM clause of an "outer" query. SELECT * FROM (SELECT city, temp_hi - temp_lo AS temp_var FROM weather) AS w WHERE temp_var > 20; The above finds cities from the weather table whose daily temperature variation i...

The following example finds cities (from the cities example) whose population is below the average temperature (obtained via a sub-qquery): SELECT name, pop2000 FROM cities WHERE pop2000 < (SELECT avg(pop2000) FROM cities); Here: the subquery (SELECT avg(pop2000) FROM cities) is used to s...

Subqueries can also be used in the SELECT part of the outer query. The following query shows all weather table columns with the corresponding states from the cities table. SELECT w.*, (SELECT c.state FROM cities AS c WHERE c.name = w.city ) AS state FROM weather AS w;

Ember CLI allows you to use one of two options to generate a new app: Create a folder and run ember init (generates application structure and sets up git and makes your first commit) Run ember new <app name> (creates a folder with the specified name, steps into it and runs ember init) O...

Elixir doesn't have loops. Instead of them for lists there are great Enum and List modules, but there are also List Comprehensions. List Comprehensions can be useful to: create new lists iex(1)> for value <- [1, 2, 3], do: value + 1 [2, 3, 4] filtering lists, using guard expressi...

a = [1, 2, 3, true] Note that these are stored in memory as linked lists. Id est this is a series of cons cells where the head (List.hd/1) is the value of first item of the list and the tail (List.tail/1) is the value of the rest of the list. List.hd(a) = 1 List.tl(a) = [2, 3, true]

Maps are the Elixir key-value (also called dictionary or hash in other languages) type. You create a map using the %w{} syntax: %{} // creates an empty map %{:a => 1, :b => 2} // creates a non-empty map Keys and values can use be any type: %{"a" => 1, "b" => 2} ...

CHICKEN is a Scheme interpreter and compiler with its own extension module system called "eggs". It is capable of compiling Scheme to native code by first compiling Scheme to C. Installing Debian or Ubuntu or other derived distros: sudo apt-get install chicken-bin Fedora / RHEL / Ce...

This is useful when you didn't store the PID from a previous command iex(1)> self() #PID<0.138.0> iex(2)> pid("0.138.0") #PID<0.138.0> iex(3)> pid(0, 138, 0) #PID<0.138.0>

Once connected you can publish messages by calling the ISubscriber.Publish method: // grab an instance of an ISubscriber var subscriber = connection.GetSubscriber(); // publish a message to the 'chat' channel subscriber.Publish("chat", "This is a message") Consumers can ...
