Consider a database with the following two tables. Employees table: IdFNameLNameDeptId1JamesSmith32JohnJohnson4 Departments table: IdName1Sales2Marketing3Finance4IT Simple select statement * is the wildcard character used to select all available columns in a table. When used as a substitute f...

The JSONSerialization class is built into Apple's Foundation framework. 2.2 Read JSON The JSONObjectWithData function takes NSData, and returns AnyObject. You can use as? to convert the result to your expected type. do { guard let jsonData = "[\"Hello\", \"JSON\"]&q...

This example assumes Ruby and Ruby on Rails have already been installed properly. If not, you can find how to do it here. Open up a command line or terminal. To generate a new rails application, use rails new command followed by the name of your application: $ rails new my_app If you want to c...

Logical OR (||), reading left to right, will evaluate to the first truthy value. If no truthy value is found, the last value is returned. var a = 'hello' || ''; // a = 'hello' var b = '' || []; // b = [] var c = '' || undefined; // c = undefined var d = 1 |...

Using the def statement is the most common way to define a function in python. This statement is a so called single clause compound statement with the following syntax: def function_name(parameters): statement(s) function_name is known as the identifier of the function. Since a function def...

Functions can return a value that you can use directly: def give_me_five(): return 5 print(give_me_five()) # Print the returned value # Out: 5 or save the value for later use: num = give_me_five() print(num) # Print the saved returned value # Out: 5 or use the value f...

Decorators normally strip function metadata as they aren't the same. This can cause problems when using meta-programming to dynamically access function metadata. Metadata also includes function's docstrings and its name. functools.wraps makes the decorated function look like the original function b...

A decorator takes just one argument: the function to be decorated. There is no way to pass other arguments. But additional arguments are often desired. The trick is then to make a function which takes arbitrary arguments and returns a decorator. Decorator functions def decoratorfactory(message): ...

When you define a function, it creates a scope. Everything defined within the function is not accessible by code outside the function. Only code within this scope can see the entities defined inside the scope. function foo() { var a = 'hello'; console.log(a); // => 'hello' } consol...

The then method of a promise returns a new promise. const promise = new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000)); promise // 5 seconds later .then(() => 2) // returning a value from a then callback will cause // the new promise to resolve with this value .then...

Integers in PHP can be natively specified in base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), base 10 (decimal), or base 16 (hexadecimal.) $my_decimal = 42; $my_binary = 0b101010; $my_octal = 052; $my_hexadecimal = 0x2a; echo ($my_binary + $my_octal) / 2; // Output is always in decimal: 42 Integers are 3...

In addition to the built-in round function, the math module provides the floor, ceil, and trunc functions. x = 1.55 y = -1.55 # round to the nearest integer round(x) # 2 round(y) # -2 # the second argument gives how many decimal places to round to (defaults to 0) round(x, 1) ...

Sometimes, when you have local changes incompatible with remote changes (ie, when you cannot fast-forward the remote branch, or the remote branch is not a direct ancestor of your local branch), the only way to push your changes is a force push. git push -f or git push --force Important not...

import random randint() Returns a random integer between x and y (inclusive): random.randint(x, y) For example getting a random number between 1 and 8: random.randint(1, 8) # Out: 8 randrange() random.randrange has the same syntax as range and unlike random.randint, the last value is no...

git log will display all your commits with the author and hash. This will be shown over multiple lines per commit. (If you wish to show a single line per commit, look at onelineing). Use the q key to exit the log. By default, with no arguments, git log lists the commits made in that reposito...

git log --oneline will show all of your commits with only the first part of the hash and the commit message. Each commit will be in a single line, as the oneline flag suggests. The oneline option prints each commit on a single line, which is useful if you’re looking at a lot of commits. - sou...

Standard Creation It is recommended to use this form only when creating regex from dynamic variables. Use when the expression may change or the expression is user generated. var re = new RegExp(".*"); With flags: var re = new RegExp(".*", "gmi"); With a backsl...

There are several flags you can specify to alter the RegEx behaviour. Flags may be appended to the end of a regex literal, such as specifying gi in /test/gi, or they may be specified as the second argument to the RegExp constructor, as in new RegExp('test', 'gi'). g - Global. Finds all matches inst...

Match Using .exec() RegExp.prototype.exec(string) returns an array of captures, or null if there was no match. var re = /([0-9]+)[a-z]+/; var match = re.exec("foo123bar"); match.index is 3, the (zero-based) location of the match. match[0] is the full match string. match[1] is the t...

var re = /[a-z]+/; if (re.test("foo")) { console.log("Match exists."); } The test method performs a search to see if a regular expression matches a string. The regular expression [a-z]+ will search for one or more lowercase letters. Since the pattern matches the string,...
