A quick way to make a copy of an array (as opposed to assigning a variable with another reference to the original array) is: arr[:] Let's examine the syntax. [:] means that start, end, and slice are all omitted. They default to 0, len(arr), and 1, respectively, meaning that subarray that we are ...
You can use slices to very easily reverse a str, list, or tuple (or basically any collection object that implements slicing with the step parameter). Here is an example of reversing a string, although this applies equally to the other types listed above: s = 'reverse me!' s[::-1] # '!em esrever...
When the commits on two branches don't conflict, Git can automatically merge them: ~/Stack Overflow(branch:master) » git merge another_branch Auto-merging file_a Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy. file_a | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
In addition to receiving values from a generator, it is possible to send an object to a generator using the send() method. def accumulator(): total = 0 value = None while True: # receive sent value value = yield total if value is None: break # aggr...
It's possible to create generator iterators using a comprehension-like syntax. generator = (i * 2 for i in range(3)) next(generator) # 0 next(generator) # 2 next(generator) # 4 next(generator) # raises StopIteration If a function doesn't necessarily need to be passed a list, you can sa...

Create a new HTML file and paste the following content: <!DOCTYPE html> <html ng-app> <head> <title>Hello, Angular</title> <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.5.8/angular.min.js"></script> </head> <body ng-init="name=...
The background-color property sets the background color of an element using a color value or through keywords, such as transparent, inherit or initial. transparent, specifies that the background color should be transparent. This is default. inherit, inherits this property from its parent e...
CSS transforms are based on the size of the elements so if you don't know how tall or wide your element is, you can position it absolutely 50% from the top and left of a relative container and translate it by 50% left and upwards to center it vertically and horizontally. Keep in mind that with this...
Create a new file called hello.sh with the following content and give it executable permissions with chmod +x hello.sh. Execute/Run via: ./hello.sh #!/usr/bin/env bash # Note that spaces cannot be used around the `=` assignment operator whom_variable="World" # Use printf to sa...

By default, the math.log function calculates the logarithm of a number, base e. You can optionally specify a base as the second argument. import math import cmath math.log(5) # = 1.6094379124341003 # optional base argument. Default is math.e math.log(5, math.e) # = 1.6094379124341003 ...
Rounding Math.round() will round the value to the closest integer using half round up to break ties. var a = Math.round(2.3); // a is now 2 var b = Math.round(2.7); // b is now 3 var c = Math.round(2.5); // c is now 3 But var c = Math.round(-2.7); // c is now -3 va...
A practical use case of a generator is to iterate through values of an infinite series. Here's an example of finding the first ten terms of the Fibonacci Sequence. def fib(a=0, b=1): """Generator that yields Fibonacci numbers. `a` and `b` are the seed values""" ...
Direction-Specific Properties CSS allows you to specify a given side to apply margin to. The four properties provided for this purpose are: margin-left margin-right margin-top margin-bottom The following code would apply a margin of 30 pixels to the left side of the selected div. View Resu...
You can include another Git repository as a folder within your project, tracked by Git: $ git submodule add https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git You should add and commit the new .gitmodules file; this tells Git what submodules should be cloned when git submodule update is run.
When you clone a repository that uses submodules, you'll need to initialize and update them. $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/username/repo.git This will clone the referenced submodules and place them in the appropriate folders (including submodules within submodules). This is equivale...
Python provides string interpolation and formatting functionality through the str.format function, introduced in version 2.6 and f-strings introduced in version 3.6. Given the following variables: i = 10 f = 1.5 s = "foo" l = ['a', 1, 2] d = {'a': 1, 2: 'foo'} The following statem...
A delegate is a common design pattern used in Cocoa and CocoaTouch frameworks, where one class delegates responsibility for implementing some functionality to another. This follows a principle of separation of concerns, where the framework class implements generic functionality while a separate dele...
One method is available for counting the number of occurrences of a sub-string in another string, str.count. str.count(sub[, start[, end]]) str.count returns an int indicating the number of non-overlapping occurrences of the sub-string sub in another string. The optional arguments start and end ...
