A stub is a light weight test double that provides canned responses when methods are called. Where a class under test relies on an interface or base class an alternative 'stub' class can be implemented for testing which conforms to the interface. So, assuming the following interface, public inter...

When an API is marked with NS_REFINED_FOR_SWIFT, it will be prefixed with two underscores (__) when imported to Swift: @interface MyClass : NSObject - (NSInteger)indexOfObject:(id)obj NS_REFINED_FOR_SWIFT; @end The generated interface looks like this: public class MyClass : NSObject { publ...

This uses the Dropbox Python SDK to create a shared link for a file and also supplies a requested visibility and expiration in the settings: import datetime import dropbox dbx = dropbox.Dropbox("<ACCESS_TOKEN>") expires = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=30...

#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { /* Always ensure that your string is large enough to contain the characters * and a terminating NUL character ('\0')! */ char mystring[10]; /* Copy "foo" into `mystring`, until a NUL character is en...

Starting with a given list a: a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] append(value) – appends a new element to the end of the list. # Append values 6, 7, and 7 to the list a.append(6) a.append(7) a.append(7) # a: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7] # Append another list b = [8, 9] a.append(b) # a: [1, 2, 3, 4, ...

Let's say we have two classes, Cat and Dog. class Cat def eat die unless has_food? self.food_amount -= 1 self.hungry = false end def sound puts "Meow" end end class Dog def eat die unless has_food? self.food_amount -= 1 self.hungry = f...

Note: The width and height attributes are not deprecated on images and never have been. Their use has been made much stricter though. The dimensions of an image can be specified using the width and height attributes of the image tag: <img src="images/200x200-img.png" width="2...

Due to auto unboxing, one can use a Boolean in an if statement: Boolean a = Boolean.TRUE; if (a) { // a gets converted to boolean System.out.println("It works!"); } That works for while, do while and the condition in the for statements as well. Note that, if the Boolean is null...

Syntax for accessing rows and columns: [, [[, and $ This topic covers the most common syntax to access specific rows and columns of a data frame. These are Like a matrix with single brackets data[rows, columns] Using row and column numbers Using column (and row) names Like a list: Wi...

var array = [3, 2, 1] Creating a new sorted array As Array conforms to SequenceType, we can generate a new array of the sorted elements using a built in sort method. 2.12.2 In Swift 2, this is done with the sort() method. let sorted = array.sort() // [1, 2, 3] 3.0 As of Swift 3, it has...

A typical email has three main components: A recipient (represented as an email address) A subject A message body Sending mail in PHP can be as simple as calling the built-in function mail(). mail() takes up to five parameters but the first three are all that is required to send an email (al...

Annotation types are defined with @interface. Parameters are defined similar to methods of a regular interface. @interface MyAnnotation { String param1(); boolean param2(); int[] param3(); // array parameter } Default values @interface MyAnnotation { String param1() defau...

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_...

MATLAB allows for several methods to index (access) elements of matrices and arrays: Subscript indexing - where you specify the position of the elements you want in each dimension of the matrix separately. Linear indexing - where the matrix is treated as a vector, no matter its dimensions. That ...

Given some JSON file "foo.json" like: {"foo": {"bar": {"baz": 1}}} we can call the module directly from the command line (passing the filename as an argument) to pretty-print it: $ python -m json.tool foo.json { "foo": { "bar...

Ruby offers the expected if and else expressions for branching logic, terminated by the end keyword: # Simulate flipping a coin result = [:heads, :tails].sample if result == :heads puts 'The coin-toss came up "heads"' else puts 'The coin-toss came up "tails"' end ...

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...
