To create a simple C program which prints "Hello, World" on the screen, use a text editor to create a new file (e.g. hello.c — the file extension must be .c) containing the following source code: hello.c #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { puts("Hello, World")...

When both operands are numeric, they are compared normally: 1 < 2 // true 2 <= 2 // true 3 >= 5 // false true < false // false (implicitly converted to numbers, 1 > 0) When both operands are strings, they are compared lexicographically (according to alphabeti...

Alternatively, you can use the Interactive Ruby Shell (IRB) to immediately execute the Ruby statements you previously wrote in the Ruby file. Start an IRB session by typing: $ irb Then enter the following command: puts "Hello World" This results in the following console output (in...

Place this code in a file named HelloWorld.scala: object Hello { def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = { println("Hello World!") } } Live demo To compile it to bytecode that is executable by the JVM: $ scalac HelloWorld.scala To run it: $ scala Hello When the Scala...

Program options can be handled with the getopt() function. It operates with a similar syntax to the POSIX getopt command, with additional support for GNU-style long options. #!/usr/bin/php // a single colon indicates the option takes a value // a double colon indicates the value may be omitted ...

Introduction HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) uses a markup system composed of elements which represent specific content. Markup means that with HTML you declare what is presented to a viewer, not how it is presented. Visual representations are defined by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and realized...

At the command line, first verify that you have Git installed: On all operating systems: git --version On UNIX-like operating systems: which git If nothing is returned, or the command is not recognized, you may have to install Git on your system by downloading and running the installer. See...

To iterate through a list you can use for: for x in ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']: print(x) This will print out the elements of the list: one two three four The range function generates numbers which are also often used in a for loop. for x in range(1, 6): print(x) The res...

123.5.to_s #=> "123.5" String(123.5) #=> "123.5" Usually, String() will just call #to_s. Methods Kernel#sprintf and String#% behave similar to C: sprintf("%s", 123.5) #=> "123.5" "%s" % 123.5 #=> "123.5" "%d&quot...

"123.50".to_i #=> 123 Integer("123.50") #=> 123 A string will take the value of any integer at its start, but will not take integers from anywhere else: "123-foo".to_i # => 123 "foo-123".to_i # => 0 However, there is a difference when ...

"123.50".to_f #=> 123.5 Float("123.50") #=> 123.5 However, there is a difference when the string is not a valid Float: "something".to_f #=> 0.0 Float("something") # ArgumentError: invalid value for Float(): "something"

1/2 #=> 0 Since we are dividing two integers, the result is an integer. To solve this problem, we need to cast at least one of those to Float: 1.0 / 2 #=> 0.5 1.to_f / 2 #=> 0.5 1 / Float(2) #=> 0.5 Alternatively, fdiv may be used to return the floating point result of di...

The git clone command is used to copy an existing Git repository from a server to the local machine. For example, to clone a GitHub project: cd <path where you'd like the clone to create a directory> git clone https://github.com/username/projectname.git To clone a BitBucket project: cd ...

In its most simple form, an if condition can be used like this: var i = 0; if (i < 1) { console.log("i is smaller than 1"); } The condition i < 1 is evaluated, and if it evaluates to true the block that follows is executed. If it evaluates to false, the block is skipped....

Consider a database with the following two tables. Employees table: IdFNameLNameDeptId1JamesSmith32JohnJohnson4 Departments table: IdName1Sales2Marketing3Finance4IT Simple select statement * is the wildcard character used to select all available columns in a table. When used as a substitute f...

The JSONSerialization class is built into Apple's Foundation framework. 2.2 Read JSON The JSONObjectWithData function takes NSData, and returns AnyObject. You can use as? to convert the result to your expected type. do { guard let jsonData = "[\"Hello\", \"JSON\"]&q...

An enum provides a set of related values: enum Direction { case up case down case left case right } enum Direction { case up, down, left, right } Enum values can be used by their fully-qualified name, but you can omit the type name when it can be inferred: let dir = Dire...

Enum cases can contain one or more payloads (associated values): enum Action { case jump case kick case move(distance: Float) // The "move" case has an associated distance } The payload must be provided when instantiating the enum value: performAction(.jump) performA...

Normally, enums can't be recursive (because they would require infinite storage): enum Tree<T> { case leaf(T) case branch(Tree<T>, Tree<T>) // error: recursive enum 'Tree<T>' is not marked 'indirect' } The indirect keyword makes the enum store its payload with...

This example assumes Ruby and Ruby on Rails have already been installed properly. If not, you can find how to do it here. Open up a command line or terminal. To generate a new rails application, use rails new command followed by the name of your application: $ rails new my_app If you want to c...
