Variable substitutions should only be used inside double quotes. calculation='2 * 3' echo "$calculation" # prints 2 * 3 echo $calculation # prints 2, the list of files in the current directory, and 3 echo "$(($calculation))" # prints 6 Outside of doubl...

if [[ $file1 -ef $file2 ]]; then echo "$file1 and $file2 are the same file" fi “Same file” means that modifying one of the files in place affects the other. Two files can be the same even if they have different names, for example if they are hard links, or if they are symbolic links...

Numerical comparisons use the -eq operators and friends if [[ $num1 -eq $num2 ]]; then echo "$num1 == $num2" fi if [[ $num1 -le $num2 ]]; then echo "$num1 <= $num2" fi There are six numeric operators: -eq equal -ne not equal -le less or equal -lt less than ...

String comparison uses the == operator between quoted strings. The != operator negates the comparison. if [[ "$string1" == "$string2" ]]; then echo "\$string1 and \$string2 are identical" fi if [[ "$string1" != "$string2" ]]; then echo &quot...

In helloJohn.sh: #!/bin/bash greet() { local name="$1" echo "Hello, $name" } greet "John Doe" # running above script $ bash helloJohn.sh Hello, John Doe If you don't modify the argument in any way, there is no need to copy it to a local variabl...

You define a map using the keyword map, followed by the types of its keys and its values: // Keys are ints, values are ints. var m1 map[int]int // initialized to nil // Keys are strings, values are ints. var m2 map[string]int // initialized to nil Maps are reference types, and once defined ...

You shouldn't call NSLog without a literal format string like this: NSLog(variable); // Dangerous code! If the variable is not an NSString, the program will crash, because NSLog expects an NSString. If the variable is an NSString, it will work unless your string contains a %. NSLog will pars...

When two margins are touching each other vertically, they are collapsed. When two margins touch horizontally, they do not collapse. Example of adjacent vertical margins: Consider the following styles and markup: div{ margin: 10px; } <div> some content </div> <div&gt...

We can illustrate this problem with the following pseudo-code function foo() { global $bob; $bob->doSomething(); } Your first question here is an obvious one Where did $bob come from? Are you confused? Good. You've just learned why globals are confusing and considered a bad p...

Creating immutable arrays: NSArray *myColors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Red", @"Green", @"Blue", @"Yellow", nil]; // Using the array literal syntax: NSArray *myColors = @[@"Red", @"Green", @"Blue", @"Yellow"]; ...

NSArray *myColors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Red", @"Green", @"Blue", @"Yellow", nil]; NSLog (@"Number of elements in array = %lu", [myColors count]);

NSMutableArray *myColors = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects: @"red", @"green", @"blue", @"yellow", nil]; NSArray *sortedArray; sortedArray = [myColors sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];

params allows a method parameter to receive a variable number of arguments, i.e. zero, one or multiple arguments are allowed for that parameter. static int AddAll(params int[] numbers) { int total = 0; foreach (int number in numbers) { total += number; } ret...

In a normal string, the backslash character is the escape character, which instructs the compiler to look at the next character(s) to determine the actual character in the string. (Full list of character escapes) In verbatim strings, there are no character escapes (except for "" which is ...

To parse lots of parameters, the prefered way of doing this is using a while loop, a case statement, and shift. shift is used to pop the first parameter in the series, making what used to be $2, now be $1. This is useful for processing arguments one at a time. #!/bin/bash # Load the user define...

These behave in the same manner as nested subqueries but with a different syntax. WITH ReadyCars AS ( SELECT * FROM Cars WHERE Status = 'READY' ) SELECT ID, Model, TotalCost FROM ReadyCars ORDER BY TotalCost; IDModelTotalCost1Ford F-1502002Ford F-150230 Equivalent subquery syntax ...

# Create the nodes # In a real world scenario we would use at least 3 managers to cover the fail of one manager. docker-machine create -d virtualbox manager docker-machine create -d virtualbox worker1 # Create the swarm # It is possible to define a port for the *advertise-addr* and *listen-ad...

public struct Vector { public int X; public int Y; public int Z; } public struct Point { public decimal x, y; public Point(decimal pointX, decimal pointY) { x = pointX; y = pointY; } } struct instance fields can be set via a p...

To instantiate Foldable you need to provide a definition for at least foldMap or foldr. data Tree a = Leaf | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a) instance Foldable Tree where foldMap f Leaf = mempty foldMap f (Node l x r) = foldMap f l `mappend` f x `mappend` foldMap f r fo...

Implementations of traverse usually look like an implementation of fmap lifted into an Applicative context. data Tree a = Leaf | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a) instance Traversable Tree where traverse f Leaf = pure Leaf traverse f (Node l x r) = Node <$> traverse f l <*...
