A basic struct is declared as follows: type User struct { FirstName, LastName string Email string Age int } Each value is called a field. Fields are usually written one per line, with the field's name preceeding its type. Consecutive fields of the sa...

Struct fields whose names begin with an uppercase letter are exported. All other names are unexported. type Account struct { UserID int // exported accessToken string // unexported } Unexported fields can only be accessed by code within the same package. As such, if you are ev...

Composition provides an alternative to inheritance. A struct may include another type by name in its declaration: type Request struct { Resource string } type AuthenticatedRequest struct { Request Username, Password string } In the example above, AuthenticatedRequest will con...

Struct methods are very similar to functions: type User struct { name string } func (u User) Name() string { return u.name } func (u *User) SetName(newName string) { u.name = newName } The only difference is the addition of the method receiver. It may be declared either a...

single channel, single goroutine, one write, one read. package main import "fmt" import "time" func main() { // create new channel of type string ch := make(chan string) // start new anonymous goroutine go func() { time.Sleep(time.Second) ...

PorterDuff.Mode is used to create a PorterDuffColorFilter. A color filter modifies the color of each pixel of a visual resource. ColorFilter filter = new PorterDuffColorFilter(Color.BLUE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN); The above filter will tint the non-transparent pixels to blue color. The color fil...

An Xfermode (think "transfer" mode) works as a transfer step in drawing pipeline. When an Xfermode is applied to a Paint, the pixels drawn with the paint are combined with underlying pixels (already drawn) as per the mode: paint.setColor(Color.BLUE); paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXferm...

A variadic function can be called with any number of trailing arguments. Those elements are stored in a slice. package main import "fmt" func variadic(strs ...string) { // strs is a slice of string for i, str := range strs { fmt.Printf("%d: %s\n", i, ...

In order to test the beginning and ending of a given string in Python, one can use the methods str.startswith() and str.endswith(). str.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]]) As it's name implies, str.startswith is used to test whether a given string starts with the given characters in prefix. >...

Python's str type also features a number of methods that can be used to evaluate the contents of a string. These are str.isalpha, str.isdigit, str.isalnum, str.isspace. Capitalization can be tested with str.isupper, str.islower and str.istitle. str.isalpha str.isalpha takes no arguments and retu...

try { StyledDocument doc = new DefaultStyledDocument(); doc.insertString(0, "This is the beginning text", null); doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "\nInserting new line at end of doc", null); MutableAttributeSet attrs = new SimpleAttributeSet(); StyleCons...

try { JTextPane pane = new JTextPane(); StyledDocument doc = new DefaultStyledDocument(); doc.insertString(0, "Some text", null); pane.setDocument(doc); //Technically takes any subclass of Document } catch (BadLocationException ex) { //hand...

StyledDocuments generally do not implement clone, and so have to copy them in a different way if that is necessary. try { //Initialization DefaultStyledDocument sourceDoc = new DefaultStyledDocument(); DefaultStyledDocument destDoc = new DefaultStyledDocument(); ...

// zoo.php class Animal { public function eats($food) { echo "Yum, $food!"; } } $animal = new Animal(); $animal->eats('meat'); PHP knows what Animal is before executing new Animal, because PHP reads source files top-to-bottom. But what if we wanted to create ...

Static methods and properties are defined on the class/constructor itself, not on instance objects. These are specified in a class definition by using the static keyword. class MyClass { static myStaticMethod() { return 'Hello'; } static get myStaticProperty() { r...

6 Fetch request promises initially return Response objects. These will provide response header information, but they don't directly include the response body, which may not have even loaded yet. Methods on the Response object such as .json() can be used to wait for the response body to load, then p...

Getters and setters allow you to define custom behaviour for reading and writing a given property on your class. To the user, they appear the same as any typical property. However, internally a custom function you provide is used to determine the value when the property is accessed (the getter), and...
