Removing duplicate values in a list can be done by converting the list to a set (that is an unordered collection of distinct objects). If a list data structure is needed, then the set can be converted back to a list using the function list(): names = ["aixk", "duke", "edik&...

It is possible, inside a closure, to use an external variable with the special keyword use. For instance: <?php $quantity = 1; $calculator = function($number) use($quantity) { return $number + $quantity; }; var_dump($calculator(2)); // Shows "3" You can go further by ...

As seen previously, a closure is nothing but an instance of the Closure class, and different methods can be invoked on them. One of them is bindTo, which, given a closure, will return a new one that is bound to a given object. For example: <?php $myClosure = function() { echo $this->p...

Let's consider this example: <?php $myClosure = function() { echo $this->property; }; class MyClass { public $property; public function __construct($propertyValue) { $this->property = $propertyValue; } } $myInstance = new MyClass('Hello world...

Since PHP7, it is possible to bind a closure just for one call, thanks to the call method. For instance: <?php class MyClass { private $property; public function __construct($propertyValue) { $this->property = $propertyValue; } } $myClosure = function() ...

We define two sets a and b >>> a = {1, 2, 2, 3, 4} >>> b = {3, 3, 4, 4, 5} NOTE: {1} creates a set of one element, but {} creates an empty dict. The correct way to create an empty set is set(). Intersection a.intersection(b) returns a new set with elements present in bot...

Even though Python natively supports big integers, taking the nth root of very large numbers can fail in Python. x = 2 ** 100 cube = x ** 3 root = cube ** (1.0 / 3) OverflowError: long int too large to convert to float When dealing with such large integers, you will need to use a custom f...

The git commit command does a few things: Create blobs and trees to represent your project directory - stored in .git/objects Creates a new commit object with your author information, commit message, and the root tree from step 1 - also stored in .git/objects Updates the HEAD ref in .git/HEAD t...

When you run git checkout on a commit (specified by hash or ref) you're telling git to make your working directory look like how it did when the snapshot was taken. Update the files in the working directory to match the tree inside the commit Update HEAD to point to the specified hash or ref ...

Running git reset --hard moves refs to the specified hash/ref. Moving MyBranch to b8dc53: $ git checkout MyBranch # moves HEAD to MyBranch $ git reset --hard b8dc53 # makes MyBranch point to b8dc53

Running git checkout -b <refname> will create a new ref that points to the current commit. $ cat .git/head 1f324a $ git checkout -b TestBranch $ cat .git/refs/heads/TestBranch 1f324a

The reduce function can be used to sum the elements in a list. (reduce '+ '(1 2 3 4)) ;;=> 10 By default, reduce performs a left-associative reduction, meaning that the sum 10 is computed as (+ (+ (+ 1 2) 3) 4) The first two elements are summed first, and then that result (3) is added to...

Common Lisp already has a reverse function, but if it didn't, then it could be implemented easily using reduce. Given a list like (1 2 3) === (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 '()))) the reversed list is (cons 3 (cons 2 (cons 1 '()))) === (3 2 1) That may not be an obvious use of reduce, but if we ha...

You can use curl: curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.3/install.sh | bash Or you can use wget: wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.3/install.sh | bash

Listing available remote versions for installation nvm ls-remote Installing a remote version nvm install <version> For example nvm install 0.10.13

To list available local versions of node through NVM: nvm ls For example, if nvm ls returns: $ nvm ls v4.3.0 v5.5.0 You can switch to v5.5.0 with: nvm use v5.5.0

Three methods are provided that offer the ability to strip leading and trailing characters from a string: str.strip, str.rstrip and str.lstrip. All three methods have the same signature and all three return a new string object with unwanted characters removed. str.strip([chars]) str.strip acts o...

To connect using java.sql.DriverManager you need a JDBC url to connect to your database. JDBC urls are database specific, but they are all of the form jdbc:<subprotocol>:<subname> Where <subprotocol> identifies the driver or database (for example postgresql, mysql, firebirdsql,...

When you deploy your app to a (Node.js-specific) hosted environment, this environment usually offers a PORT-environment variable that you can use to run your server on. Changing the port number to process.env.PORT allows you to access the application. For example, http.createServer(function(reques...

You can use the node-inspector. Run this command to install it via npm: npm install -g node-inspector Then you can debug your application using node-debug app.js The Github repository can be found here: https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector Debugging natively You can also debu...
