The map function is the simplest one among Python built-ins used for functional programming. map() applies a specified function to each element in an iterable: names = ['Fred', 'Wilma', 'Barney'] Python 3.x3.0 map(len, names) # map in Python 3.x is a class; its instances are iterable # Out: &...

To filter discards elements of a sequence based on some criteria: names = ['Fred', 'Wilma', 'Barney'] def long_name(name): return len(name) > 5 Python 2.x2.0 filter(long_name, names) # Out: ['Barney'] [name for name in names if len(name) > 5] # equivalent list comprehension #...

Write your code in a file named hello.swift: print("Hello, world!") To compile and run a script in one step, use swift from the terminal (in a directory where this file is located): To launch a terminal, press CTRL+ALT+T on Linux, or find it in Launchpad on macOS. To change dire...

Variables can be accessed via dynamic variable names. The name of a variable can be stored in another variable, allowing it to be accessed dynamically. Such variables are known as variable variables. To turn a variable into a variable variable, you put an extra $ put in front of your variable. $va...

The addition operator (+) adds numbers. var a = 9, b = 3, c = a + b; c will now be 12 This operand can also be used multiple times in a single assignment: var a = 9, b = 3, c = 8, d = a + b + c; d will now be 20. Both operands are converted to primitive types. ...

The subtraction operator (-) subtracts numbers. var a = 9; var b = 3; var c = a - b; c will now be 6 If a string or boolean is provided in place of a number value, it gets converted to a number before the difference is calculated (0 for false, 1 for true): "5" - 1; // 4 7 - ...

The multiplication operator (*) perform arithmetic multiplication on numbers (literals or variables). console.log( 3 * 5); // 15 console.log(-3 * 5); // -15 console.log( 3 * -5); // -15 console.log(-3 * -5); // 15

The division operator (/) perform arithmetic division on numbers (literals or variables). console.log(15 / 3); // 5 console.log(15 / 4); // 3.75

The remainder / modulus operator (%) returns the remainder after (integer) division. console.log( 42 % 10); // 2 console.log( 42 % -10); // 2 console.log(-42 % 10); // -2 console.log(-42 % -10); // -2 console.log(-40 % 10); // -0 console.log( 40 % 10); // 0 This operator returns th...

The Increment operator (++) increments its operand by one. If used as a postfix, then it returns the value before incrementing. If used as a prefix, then it returns the value after incrementing. //postfix var a = 5, // 5 b = a++, // 5 c = a // 6 In this case, a is incr...

The decrement operator (--) decrements numbers by one. If used as a postfix to n, the operator returns the current n and then assigns the decremented the value. If used as a prefix to n, the operator assigns the decremented n and then returns the changed value. var a = 5, // 5 b = a...

Exponentiation makes the second operand the power of the first operand (ab). var a = 2, b = 3, c = Math.pow(a, b); c will now be 8 6 Stage 3 ES2016 (ECMAScript 7) Proposal: let a = 2, b = 3, c = a ** b; c will now be 8 Use Math.pow to find the nth root of a number....

All angles below are in radians. An angle r in radians has measure 180 * r / Math.PI in degrees. Sine Math.sin(r); This will return the sine of r, a value between -1 and 1. Math.asin(r); This will return the arcsine (the reverse of the sine) of r. Math.asinh(r) This will return the hype...

Given a list comprehension you can append one or more if conditions to filter values. [<expression> for <element> in <iterable> if <condition>] For each <element> in <iterable>; if <condition> evaluates to True, add <expression> (usually a function...

An array can be initialized empty: // An empty array $foo = array(); // Shorthand notation available since PHP 5.4 $foo = []; An array can be initialized and preset with values: // Creates a simple array with three strings $fruit = array('apples', 'pears', 'oranges'); // Shorthand no...

Anonymous functions can be assigned to variables for use as parameters where a callback is expected: $uppercase = function($data) { return strtoupper($data); }; $mixedCase = ["Hello", "World"]; $uppercased = array_map($uppercase, $mixedCase); print_r($uppercased); ...

The use construct is used to import variables into the anonymous function's scope: $divisor = 2332; $myfunction = function($number) use ($divisor) { return $number / $divisor; }; echo $myfunction(81620); //Outputs 35 Variables can also be imported by reference: $collection = []; $a...

print_r() - Outputting Arrays and Objects for debugging print_r will output a human readable format of an array or object. You may have a variable that is an array or object. Trying to output it with an echo will throw the error: Notice: Array to string conversion. You can instead use the print_r...

Variables can be incremented or decremented by 1 using the ++ and -- operators, respectively. When the ++ and -- operators follow variables, they are called post-increment and post-decrement respectively. int a = 10; a++; // a now equals 11 a--; // a now equals 10 again When the ++ and -- ope...

let number = 3 switch number { case 1: print("One!") case 2: print("Two!") case 3: print("Three!") default: print("Not One, Two or Three") } switch statements also work with data types other than integers. They work with any data t...
