String also have an index method but also more advanced options and the additional str.find. For both of these there is a complementary reversed method. astring = 'Hello on StackOverflow' astring.index('o') # 4 astring.rindex('o') # 20 astring.find('o') # 4 astring.rfind('o') # 20 The ...

list and tuple have an index-method to get the position of the element: alist = [10, 16, 26, 5, 2, 19, 105, 26] # search for 16 in the list alist.index(16) # 1 alist[1] # 16 alist.index(15) ValueError: 15 is not in list But only returns the position of the first found element: ...

dict have no builtin method for searching a value or key because dictionaries are unordered. You can create a function that gets the key (or keys) for a specified value: def getKeysForValue(dictionary, value): foundkeys = [] for keys in dictionary: if dictionary[key] == value: ...

Sorted sequences allow the use of faster searching algorithms: bisect.bisect_left()1: import bisect def index_sorted(sorted_seq, value): """Locate the leftmost value exactly equal to x or raise a ValueError""" i = bisect.bisect_left(sorted_seq, value) ...

Searching in nested sequences like a list of tuple requires an approach like searching the keys for values in dict but needs customized functions. The index of the outermost sequence if the value was found in the sequence: def outer_index(nested_sequence, value): return next(index for index, ...

First, install a version of Microsoft Visual Studio, including the free Community edition. Then, create a Visual Basic Console Application project of type Console Application, and the following code will print the string 'Hello World' to the Console: Module Module1 Sub Main() Consol...

To check the equality of Date values: var date1 = new Date(); var date2 = new Date(date1.valueOf() + 10); console.log(date1.valueOf() === date2.valueOf()); Sample output: false Note that you must use valueOf() or getTime() to compare the values of Date objects because the equality operato...

ALTER TABLE Employees ADD StartingDate date NOT NULL DEFAULT GetDate(), DateOfBirth date NULL The above statement would add columns named StartingDate which cannot be NULL with default value as current date and DateOfBirth which can be NULL in Employees table.

The system header TargetConditionals.h defines several macros which you can use from C and Objective-C to determine which platform you're using. #import <TargetConditionals.h> // imported automatically with Foundation - (void)doSomethingPlatformSpecific { #if TARGET_OS_IOS // code t...

R has several built-in functions that can be used to print or display information, but print and cat are the most basic. As R is an interpreted language, you can try these out directly in the R console: print("Hello World") #[1] "Hello World" cat("Hello World\n") #H...

A submodule is always checked out at a specific commit SHA1 (the "gitlink", special entry in the index of the parent repo) But one can request to update that submodule to the latest commit of a branch of the submodule remote repo. Rather than going in each submodule, doing a git checkout...

If your latest commit is not published yet (not pushed to an upstream repository) then you can amend your commit. git commit --amend This will put the currently staged changes onto the previous commit. Note: This can also be used to edit an incorrect commit message. It will bring up the default...

You can use the trap command to "trap" signals; this is the shell equivalent of the signal() or sigaction() call in C and most other programming languages to catch signals. One of the most common uses of trap is to clean up temporary files on both an expected and unexpected exit. Unfortu...

This is an example of dereferencing a NULL pointer, causing undefined behavior. int * pointer = NULL; int value = *pointer; /* Dereferencing happens here */ A NULL pointer is guaranteed by the C standard to compare unequal to any pointer to a valid object, and dereferencing it invokes undefined...

int i = 42; i = i++; /* Assignment changes variable, post-increment as well */ int a = i++ + i--; Code like this often leads to speculations about the "resulting value" of i. Rather than specifying an outcome, however, the C standards specify that evaluating such an expression produc...

Sets are unordered collections of unique values. Unique values must be of the same type. var colors = Set<String>() You can declare a set with values by using the array literal syntax. var favoriteColors: Set<String> = ["Red", "Blue", "Green", "Blu...

println! (and its sibling, print!) provides a convenient mechanism for producing and printing text that contains dynamic data, similar to the printf family of functions found in many other languages. Its first argument is a format string, which dictates how the other arguments should be printed as t...

A simple function that does not accept any parameters and does not return any values: func SayHello() { fmt.Println("Hello!") }

Return values can be assigned to a local variable. An empty return statement can then be used to return their current values. This is known as "naked" return. Naked return statements should be used only in short functions as they harm readability in longer functions: func Inverse(v float3...
