FrameLayout is designed to block out an area on the screen to display a single item. You can, however, add multiple children to a FrameLayout and control their position within the FrameLayout by assigning gravity to each child, using the android:layout_gravity attribute.

Ruby uses the case keyword for switch statements. As per the Ruby Docs: Case statements consist of an optional condition, which is in the position of an argument to case, and zero or more when clauses. The first when clause to match the condition (or to evaluate to Boolean truth, if the condi...

When a column name matches a reserved keyword, standard SQL requires that you enclose it in double quotation marks: SELECT "ORDER", ID FROM ORDERS Note that it makes the column name case-sensitive. Some DBMSes have proprietary ways of quoting names. For example, SQL Serve...

Some convenience functions to manipulate data.frames are subset(), transform(), with() and within(). subset The subset() function allows you to subset a data.frame in a more convenient way (subset also works with other classes): subset(mtcars, subset = cyl == 6, select = c("mpg", "...

if condition: body The if statements checks the condition. If it evaluates to True, it executes the body of the if statement. If it evaluates to False, it skips the body. if True: print "It is true!" >> It is true! if False: print "This won't get printed.....

if condition: body else: body The else statement will execute it's body only if preceding conditional statements all evaluate to False. if True: print "It is true!" else: print "This won't get printed.." # Output: It is true! if False: print &...

Using environment variables is a widely used way to setting an app's config depending on it environment, as stated in The Twelve-Factor App. As configurations are likely to change between deployment environments, this is a very interesting way to modify the configuration without having to dig in th...

As Array conforms to SequenceType, we can use map(_:) to transform an array of A into an array of B using a closure of type (A) throws -> B. For example, we could use it to transform an array of Ints into an array of Strings like so: let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] let words = numbers.map { Stri...

We can provide a consumer that will be called with the multiple relevant values: C++11 template <class F> void foo(int a, int b, F consumer) { consumer(a + b, a - b, a * b, a / b); } // use is simple... ignoring some results is possible as well foo(5, 12, [](int sum, int , int , i...

To apply a function to every item in an array, use array_map(). This will return a new array. $array = array(1,2,3,4,5); //each array item is iterated over and gets stored in the function parameter. $newArray = array_map(function($item) { return $item + 1; }, $array); $newArray now is a...

You can access the elements of an array by their indices. Array index numbering starts at 0. %w(a b c)[0] # => 'a' %w(a b c)[1] # => 'b' You can crop an array using range %w(a b c d)[1..2] # => ['b', 'c'] (indices from 1 to 2, including the 2) %w(a b c d)[1...2] # => ['b'] (indic...

It is possible to release dynamically allocated memory by calling free(). int *p = malloc(10 * sizeof *p); /* allocation of memory */ if (p == NULL) { perror("malloc failed"); return -1; } free(p); /* release of memory */ /* note that after free(p), even using the *value...
