Add an accessory view above the keyboard. This is commonly used for adding next/previous buttons, or additional buttons like Done/Submit (especially for the number/phone/decimal pad keyboard types which don't have a built-in return key). Swift let textField = UITextField() // initialized however ...

Some JavaScript engines (for example, the current version of Node.js and older versions of Chrome before Ignition+turbofan) don't run the optimizer on functions that contain a try/catch block. If you need to handle exceptions in performance-critical code, it can be faster in some cases to keep the ...

To trim whitespace from the edges of a string, use String.prototype.trim: " some whitespaced string ".trim(); // "some whitespaced string" Many JavaScript engines, but not Internet Explorer, have implemented non-standard trimLeft and trimRight methods. There is a proposa...

Use .slice() to extract substrings given two indices: var s = "0123456789abcdefg"; s.slice(0, 5); // "01234" s.slice(5, 6); // "5" Given one index, it will take from that index to the end of the string: s.slice(10); // "abcdefg"

Grand Central Dispatch works on the concept of "Dispatch Queues". A dispatch queue executes tasks you designate in the order which they are passed. There are three types of dispatch queues: Serial Dispatch Queues (aka private dispatch queues) execute one task at a time, in order. They a...

3.0 To run tasks on a dispatch queue, use the sync, async, and after methods. To dispatch a task to a queue asynchronously: let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "myQueueName") queue.async { //do something DispatchQueue.main.async { //this will be called in main t...

A common question is how to juxtapose (combine) physically separate geographical regions on the same map, such as in the case of a choropleth describing all 50 American states (The mainland with Alaska and Hawaii juxtaposed). Creating an attractive 50 state map is simple when leveraging Google Maps...

The + symbol marks a type parameter as covariant - here we say that "Producer is covariant on A": trait Producer[+A] { def produce: A } A covariant type parameter can be thought of as an "output" type. Marking A as covariant asserts that Producer[X] <: Producer[Y] prov...

By default all type parameters are invariant - given trait A[B], we say that "A is invariant on B". This means that given two parametrizations A[Cat] and A[Animal], we assert no sub/superclass relationship between these two types - it does not hold that A[Cat] <: A[Animal] nor that A[Ca...

The - symbol marks a type parameter as contravariant - here we say that "Handler is contravariant on A": trait Handler[-A] { def handle(a: A): Unit } A contravariant type parameter can be thought of as an "input" type. Marking A as contravariant asserts that Handler[X] &l...

Because collections are typically covariant in their element type*, a collection of a subtype may be passed where a super type is expected: trait Animal { def name: String } case class Dog(name: String) extends Animal object Animal { def printAnimalNames(animals: Seq[Animal]) = { anima...

Interceptors are used to intercept OkHttp calls. The reason to intercept could be to monitor, rewrite and retry calls. It can be used for outgoing request or incoming response both. class LoggingInterceptor implements Interceptor { @Override public Response intercept(Interceptor.Chain chain) thr...

Under the hood, a matrix is a special kind of vector with two dimensions. Like a vector, a matrix can only have one data class. You can create matrices using the matrix function as shown below. matrix(data = 1:6, nrow = 2, ncol = 3) ## [,1] [,2] [,3] ## [1,] 1 3 5 ## [2,] 2 4...

The base package parallel allows parallel computation through forking, sockets, and random-number generation. Detect the number of cores present on the localhost: parallel::detectCores(all.tests = FALSE, logical = TRUE) Create a cluster of the cores on the localhost: parallelCluster <- para...

This code takes in various brace styles and converts them to One True Brace Style: const auto input = "if (KnR)\n\tfoo();\nif (spaces) {\n foo();\n}\nif (allman)\n{\n\tfoo();\n}\nif (horstmann)\n{\tfoo();\n}\nif (pico)\n{\tfoo(); }\nif (whitesmiths)\n\t{\n\tfoo();\n\t}\n"s; cout &lt...

Object arrays are covariant, which means that just as Integer is a subclass of Number, Integer[] is a subclass of Number[]. This may seem intuitive, but can result in surprising behavior: Integer[] integerArray = {1, 2, 3}; Number[] numberArray = integerArray; // valid Number firstElement = numb...

For each dimension of an object, the [ operator takes one argument. Vectors have one dimension and take one argument. Matrices and data frames have two dimensions and take two arguments, given as [i, j] where i is the row and j is the column. Indexing starts at 1. ## a sample matrix mat <- matr...

The order in which operators are evaluated is determined by the operator precedence (see also the Remarks section). In $a = 2 * 3 + 4; $a gets a value of 10 because 2 * 3 is evaluated first (multiplication has a higher precedence than addition) yielding a sub-result of 6 + 4, which equals to 10...

Implementing IErrorHandler for WCF services is a great way to centralize error handling and logging. The implementation shown here should catch any unhandled exception that is thrown as a result of a call to one of your WCF services. Also shown in this example is how to return a custom object, and h...

Stored procedures can be created through a database management GUI (SQL Server example), or through a SQL statement as follows: -- Define a name and parameters CREATE PROCEDURE Northwind.getEmployee @LastName nvarchar(50), @FirstName nvarchar(50) AS -- Define the query to be...
