int* foo(int bar) { int baz = 6; baz += bar; return &baz; /* (&baz) copied to new memory location outside of foo. */ } /* (1) The lifetime of baz and bar end here as they have automatic storage * duration (local variables), thus the returned pointer is not valid! */ ...

int x = 0; int y = 5 / x; /* integer division */ or double x = 0.0; double y = 5.0 / x; /* floating point division */ or int x = 0; int y = 5 % x; /* modulo operation */ For the second line in each example, where the value of the second operand (x) is zero, the behaviour is undefine...

Let's say you want to generate counts or subtotals for a given value in a column. Given this table, "Westerosians": NameGreatHouseAllegienceAryaStarkCerceiLannisterMyrcellaLannisterYaraGreyjoyCatelynStarkSansaStark Without GROUP BY, COUNT will simply return a total number of rows: SELE...

/* define a list of preprocessor tokens on which to call X */ #define X_123 X(1) X(2) X(3) /* define X to use */ #define X(val) printf("X(%d) made this print\n", val); X_123 #undef X /* good practice to undef X to facilitate reuse later on */ This example will result in the prep...

The Basics The simplist way to convert one date format into another is to use strtotime() with date(). strtotime() will convert the date into a Unix Timestamp. That Unix Timestamp can then be passed to date() to convert it to the new format. $timestamp = strtotime('2008-07-01T22:35:17.02'); $new_...

re.findall(r"[0-9]{2,3}", "some 1 text 12 is 945 here 4445588899") # Out: ['12', '945', '444', '558', '889'] Note that the r before "[0-9]{2,3}" tells python to interpret the string as-is; as a "raw" string. You could also use re.finditer() which works in...

To create a variable in Python, all you need to do is specify the variable name, and then assign a value to it. <variable name> = <value> Python uses = to assign values to variables. There's no need to declare a variable in advance (or to assign a data type to it), assigning a value ...

In Ruby, there are exactly two values which are considered "falsy", and will return false when tested as a condition for an if expression. They are: nil boolean false All other values are considered "truthy", including: 0 - numeric zero (Integer or otherwise) "&qu...

Number('0') === 0 Number('0') will convert the string ('0') into a number (0) A shorter, but less clear, form: +'0' === 0 The unary + operator does nothing to numbers, but converts anything else to a number. Interestingly, +(-12) === -12. parseInt('0', 10) === 0 parseInt('0', 10) will c...

String(0) === '0' String(0) will convert the number (0) into a string ('0'). A shorter, but less clear, form: '' + 0 === '0'

In most environments, console.table() can be used to display objects and arrays in a tabular format. For example: console.table(['Hello', 'world']); displays like: (index)value0"Hello"1"world" console.table({foo: 'bar', bar: 'baz'}); displays like: (index)value"fo...

Background CSS colors may also be represented as a hex triplet, where the members represent the red, green and blue components of a color. Each of these values represents a number in the range of 00 to FF, or 0 to 255 in decimal notation. Uppercase and/or lowercase Hexidecimal values may be used (i...

The Problem The abstract equality and inequality operators (== and !=) convert their operands if the operand types do not match. This type coercion is a common source of confusion about the results of these operators, in particular, these operators aren't always transitive as one would expect. &...
