Converting a number to a string

String(0) === '0' String(0) will convert the number (0) into a string ('0'). A shorter, but less clear, form: '' + 0 === '0'

Abstract equality / inequality and type conversion

The Problem The abstract equality and inequality operators (== and !=) convert their operands if the operand types do not match. This type coercion is a common source of confusion about the results of these operators, in particular, these operators aren't always transitive as one would expect. &...

Handling InterruptedException

InterruptedException is a confusing beast - it shows up in seemingly innocuous methods like Thread.sleep(), but handling it incorrectly leads to hard-to-manage code that behaves poorly in concurrent environments. At its most basic, if an InterruptedException is caught it means someone, somewhere, c...

Basic use and chaining

The pipe operator, %>%, is used to insert an argument into a function. It is not a base feature of the language and can only be used after attaching a package that provides it, such as magrittr. The pipe operator takes the left-hand side (LHS) of the pipe and uses it as the first argument of the ...

Merging, combine and composing Maps

Use putAll to put every member of one map into another. Keys already present in the map will have their corresponding values overwritten. Map<String, Integer> numbers = new HashMap<>(); numbers.put("One", 1) numbers.put("Three", 3) Map<String, Integer> othe...

Deleting a Remote Branch

To delete a remote branch in Git: git push [remote-name] --delete [branch-name] or git push [remote-name] :[branch-name]

Removing Local Copies of Deleted Remote Branches

If a remote branch has been deleted, your local repository has to be told to prune the reference to it. To prune deleted branches from a specific remote: git fetch [remote-name] --prune To prune deleted branches from all remotes: git fetch --all --prune

Backreferences and Non-Capturing Groups

Since Groups are "numbered" some engines also support matching what a group has previously matched again. Assuming you wanted to match something where two equals strings of length three are divided by a $ you'd use: (.{3})\$\1 This would match any of the following strings: "abc$...

Use LIKE to find matching strings and substrings

See full documentation on LIKE operator. This example uses the Employees Table from the Example Databases. SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE FName LIKE 'John' This query will only return Employee #1 whose first name matches 'John' exactly. SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE FName like 'John%' Ad...

Class Inheritance

Inheritance works just like it does in other object-oriented languages: methods defined on the superclass are accessible in the extending subclass. If the subclass declares its own constructor then it must invoke the parents constructor via super() before it can access this. class SuperClass { ...

Lambda (Inline/Anonymous) Functions

The lambda keyword creates an inline function that contains a single expression. The value of this expression is what the function returns when invoked. Consider the function: def greeting(): return "Hello" which, when called as: print(greeting()) prints: Hello This can ...

Creating a branch using direct URL to URL copy

Branching in Subversion is very simple. In the simplest form, creating a new branch requires you to run the command against the remote repository's URLs. For example, let's create a new branch out of the mainline trunk: svn copy https://svn.example.com/svn/MyRepo/MyProject/trunk https://svn.example...

Creating a branch through a working copy

When you interact with the remote central repository using your private local workspace -- the working copy -- you can use repository-relative URL instead of direct URL to URL copy to create a new branch: svn copy "^/MyProject/trunk" "^/MyProject/branches/MyNewBranch" -m "C...

Making changes in your local working copy

The working copy (WC) is your local and private workspace that you use to interact with the central Subversion repository. You use the working copy to modify the contents of your project and fetch changes committed by others. The working copy contains your project's data and looks and acts like a r...

Basic semantic versioning

Before publishing a package you have to version it. npm supports semantic versioning, this means there are patch, minor and major releases. For example, if your package is at version 1.2.3 to change version you have to: patch release: npm version patch => 1.2.4 minor release: npm version min...

Copying a commit from one branch to another

git cherry-pick <commit-hash> will apply the changes made in an existing commit to another branch, while recording a new commit. Essentially, you can copy commits from branch to branch. Given the following tree (Source) dd2e86 - 946992 - 9143a9 - a6fd86 - 5a6057 [master] \ ...

Committing your local changes to the repository

To publish the changes you made in your working copy, run the svn commit command. IMPORTANT: Review your changes before committing them! Use svn status and svn diff to review the changes. Also, make sure you are in the correct path before performing a commit. If you updated many files across vari...
