Description List

A description list (or definition list, as it was called before HTML5) can be created with the dl element. It consists of name-value groups, where the name is given in the dt element, and the value is given in the dd element. <dl> <dt>name 1</dt> <dd>value for 1</dd...

Subpattern definitions

The (?(DEFINE)...) construct lets you define subpatterns you may reference later through recursion. When encountered in the pattern it will not be matched against. This group should contain named subpattern definitions, which will be accessible only through recursion. You can define grammars this w...

Using built-in functions as callbacks

In functions taking callable as an argument, you can also put a string with PHP built-in function. It's common to use trim as array_map parameter to remove leading and trailing whitespace from all strings in the array. $arr = [' one ', 'two ', ' three']; var_dump(array_map('trim', $arr)); ...

Define and use Build Configuration Fields

BuildConfigField Gradle allows buildConfigField lines to define constants. These constants will be accessible at runtime as static fields of the BuildConfig class. This can be used to create flavors by defining all fields within the defaultConfig block, then overriding them for individual build fla...

Element-wise operations

MATLAB supports (and encourages) vectorized operations on vectors and matrices. For example, suppose we have A and B, two n-by-m matrices and we want C to be the element-wise product of the corresponding elements (i.e., C(i,j) = A(i,j)*B(i,j)). The un-vectorized way, using nested loops is as follo...

Lambdas can be emitted both as `Func` and `Expression`

Assuming the following Person class: public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } The following lambda: p => p.Age > 18 Can be passed as an argument to both methods: public void AsFunc(Func<Person, bool> func) public void AsE...

Tokenisation: strtok(), strtok_r() and strtok_s()

The function strtok breaks a string into a smaller strings, or tokens, using a set of delimiters. #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { int toknum = 0; char src[] = "Hello,, world!"; const char delimiters[] = ", !"; char *to...

vector: The Exception To So Many, So Many Rules

The standard (section 23.3.7) specifies that a specialization of vector<bool> is provided, which optimizes space by packing the bool values, so that each takes up only one bit. Since bits aren't addressable in C++, this means that several requirements on vector are not placed on vector<bool...
