A Promise object represents an operation which has produced or will eventually produce a value. Promises provide a robust way to wrap the (possibly pending) result of asynchronous work, mitigating the problem of deeply nested callbacks (known as "callback hell"). States and control flow ...

Integers in PHP can be natively specified in base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), base 10 (decimal), or base 16 (hexadecimal.) $my_decimal = 42; $my_binary = 0b101010; $my_octal = 052; $my_hexadecimal = 0x2a; echo ($my_binary + $my_octal) / 2; // Output is always in decimal: 42 Integers are 3...

A traditional for-loop A traditional for loop has three components: The initialization: executed before the look block is executed the first time The condition: checks a condition every time before the loop block is executed, and quits the loop if false The afterthought: performed every time a...

In addition to the built-in round function, the math module provides the floor, ceil, and trunc functions. x = 1.55 y = -1.55 # round to the nearest integer round(x) # 2 round(y) # -2 # the second argument gives how many decimal places to round to (defaults to 0) round(x, 1) ...

Sometimes, when you have local changes incompatible with remote changes (ie, when you cannot fast-forward the remote branch, or the remote branch is not a direct ancestor of your local branch), the only way to push your changes is a force push. git push -f or git push --force Important not...

Tk is the standard graphical user interface (GUI) for Ruby. It provides a cross-platform GUI for Ruby programs. Example code: require "tk" TkRoot.new{ title "Hello World!" } Tk.mainloop The result: Step by Step explanation: require "tk" Load the tk package...

Open a new blank document in the MATLAB Editor (in recent versions of MATLAB, do this by selecting the Home tab of the toolstrip, and clicking on New Script). The default keyboard shortcut to create a new script is Ctrl-n. Alternatively, typing edit myscriptname.m will open the file myscriptname.m ...

for loops iterate over a collection of items, such as list or dict, and run a block of code with each element from the collection. for i in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]: print(i) The above for loop iterates over a list of numbers. Each iteration sets the value of i to the next element of the list. So f...

import random shuffle() You can use random.shuffle() to mix up/randomize the items in a mutable and indexable sequence. For example a list: laughs = ["Hi", "Ho", "He"] random.shuffle(laughs) # Shuffles in-place! Don't do: laughs = random.shuffle(laughs) p...

import random randint() Returns a random integer between x and y (inclusive): random.randint(x, y) For example getting a random number between 1 and 8: random.randint(1, 8) # Out: 8 randrange() random.randrange has the same syntax as range and unlike random.randint, the last value is no...

jQuery is the starting point for writing any jQuery code. It can be used as a function jQuery(...) or a variable jQuery.foo. $ is an alias for jQuery and the two can usually be interchanged for each other (except where jQuery.noConflict(); has been used - see Avoiding namespace collisions). Assumi...

git log will display all your commits with the author and hash. This will be shown over multiple lines per commit. (If you wish to show a single line per commit, look at onelineing). Use the q key to exit the log. By default, with no arguments, git log lists the commits made in that reposito...

About Protocols A Protocol specifies initialisers, properties, functions, subscripts and associated types required of a Swift object type (class, struct or enum) conforming to the protocol. In some languages similar ideas for requirement specifications of subsequent objects are known as ‘interfaces...

Protocols may define associated type requirements using the associatedtype keyword: protocol Container { associatedtype Element var count: Int { get } subscript(index: Int) -> Element { get set } } Protocols with associated type requirements can only be used as generic constraints:...

break statement When a break statement executes inside a loop, control flow "breaks" out of the loop immediately: i = 0 while i < 7: print(i) if i == 4: print("Breaking from loop") break i += 1 The loop conditional will not be evaluated a...

Standard Creation It is recommended to use this form only when creating regex from dynamic variables. Use when the expression may change or the expression is user generated. var re = new RegExp(".*"); With flags: var re = new RegExp(".*", "gmi"); With a backsl...

There are several flags you can specify to alter the RegEx behaviour. Flags may be appended to the end of a regex literal, such as specifying gi in /test/gi, or they may be specified as the second argument to the RegExp constructor, as in new RegExp('test', 'gi'). g - Global. Finds all matches inst...

var re = /[a-z]+/; if (re.test("foo")) { console.log("Match exists."); } The test method performs a search to see if a regular expression matches a string. The regular expression [a-z]+ will search for one or more lowercase letters. Since the pattern matches the string,...

The String object has the following methods that accept regular expressions as arguments. "string".match(... "string".replace(... "string".split(... "string".search(... Match with RegExp console.log("string".match(/[i-n]+/)); console.log(&...
