Arrow syntax Anonymous functions can be created using the -> syntax. This is useful for passing functions to higher-order functions, such as the map function. The below function computes the square of each number in an array A. squareall(A) = map(x -> x ^ 2, A) An example of using this fu...

Sometimes you will have a grid of subplots, and you want to have a single legend that describes all the lines for each of the subplots as in the following image. In order to do this, you will need to create a global legend for the figure instead of creating a legend at the axes level (which wil...

Deferred function calls serve a similar purpose to things like finally blocks in languages like Java: they ensure that some function will be executed when the outer function returns, regardless of if an error occurred or which return statement was hit in cases with multiple returns. This is useful f...

Menu items are a great way of adding custom actions to the editor. You can add menu items to the menu bar, have them as context-clicks on specific components, or even as context-clicks on fields in your scripts.

pacman is a simple package manager for R. pacman allows a user to compactly load all desired packages, installing any which are missing (and their dependencies), with a single command, p_load. pacman does not require the user to type quotation marks around a package name. Basic usage is as follows:...

C++11 It's possible to write a generic function (for example min) which accepts various numerical types and arbitrary argument count by template meta-programming. This function declares a min for two arguments and recursively for more. template <typename T1, typename T2> auto min(const T1 &...

std::function can cause significant overhead. Because std::function has [value semantics][1], it must copy or move the given callable into itself. But since it can take callables of an arbitrary type, it will frequently have to allocate memory dynamically to do this. Some function implementations h...

static void testNumericPromotion() { char char1 = 1, char2 = 2; short short1 = 1, short2 = 2; int int1 = 1, int2 = 2; float float1 = 1.0f, float2 = 2.0f; // char1 = char1 + char2; // Error: Cannot convert from int to char; // short1 = short1 + short2; // Err...

A basic AppComponent that depends on a single AppModule to provide application-wide singleton objects. @Singleton @Component(modules = AppModule.class) public interface AppComponent { void inject(App app); Context provideContext(); Gson provideGson(); } A module to use to...

@Scope @Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface ActivityScope { } Scopes are just annotations and you can create your own ones where needed.

2.3 The CoordinatorLayout is a container somewhat similar to FrameLayout but with extra capabilities, it is called super-powered FrameLayout in the official documentation. By attaching a CoordinatorLayout.Behavior to a direct child of CoordinatorLayout, you’ll be able to intercept touch events, wi...

A String can be read from an InputStream using the byte array constructor. import java.io.*; public String readString(InputStream input) throws IOException { byte[] bytes = new byte[50]; // supply the length of the string in bytes here input.read(bytes); return new String(bytes); ...

java.util.Date to java.sql.Date conversion is usually necessary when a Date object needs to be written in a database. java.sql.Date is a wrapper around millisecond value and is used by JDBC to identify an SQL DATE type In the below example, we use the java.util.Date() constructor, that creates a D...

This code compiles: Integer arg = null; int x = arg; But it will crash at runtime with a java.lang.NullPointerException on the second line. The problem is that a primitive int cannot have a null value. This is a minimalistic example, but in practice it often manifests in more sophisticated f...

Sometimes a RecyclerView will need to use several types of Views to be displayed in the list shown in the UI, and each View needs a different layout xml to be inflated. For this issue, you may use different ViewHolders in single Adapter, by using a special method in RecyclerView - getItemViewType(i...

At run time the following would display a list of url in your console and continue computation payload = [{url:..., title:...}, {url=..., title=...}] main = payload |> List.map .url -- only takes the url |> Debug.log " My list of URLs" -- pass the url...

Cons-cells, structures, vectors, lists and such can be matched with constructor patterns. (loop for i from 1 to 30 do (format t "~5<~a~;~>" (match (cons (mod i 3) (mod i 5)) ((cons 0 0) "Fizzbuzz")...
