If you return a prvalue expression from a function, and the prvalue expression has the same type as the function's return type, then the copy from the prvalue temporary can be elided: std::string func() { return std::string("foo"); } Pretty much all compilers will elide the tempor...

When you pass an argument to a function, and the argument is a prvalue expression of the function's parameter type, and this type is not a reference, then the prvalue's construction can be elided. void func(std::string str) { ... } func(std::string("foo")); This says to create a tem...

If you return an lvalue expression from a function, and this lvalue: represents an automatic variable local to that function, which will be destroyed after the return the automatic variable is not a function parameter and the type of the variable is the same type as the function's return type ...

Serialization is the process of converting an object into a stream of bytes in order to store the object or transmit it to memory, a database, or a file. Microsoft page Serialization The following example demonstrates Serialization in WCF: [ServiceContract(Namespace="http://Microsoft.Ser...

Python 2.x2.7 In Python 2 filter, map and zip built-in functions return a sequence. map and zip always return a list while with filter the return type depends on the type of given parameter: >>> s = filter(lambda x: x.isalpha(), 'a1b2c3') >>> s 'abc' >>> s = map(lambd...

The partial function creates partial function application from another function. It is used to bind values to some of the function's arguments (or keyword arguments) and produce a callable without the already defined arguments. >>> from functools import partial >>> unhex = partia...

When we want to create an orderable class, normally we need to define the methods __eq()__, __lt__(), __le__(), __gt__() and __ge__(). The total_ordering decorator, applied to a class, permits the definition of __eq__() and only one between __lt__(), __le__(), __gt__() and __ge__(), and still allow...

In Python 3.x, the reduce function already explained here has been removed from the built-ins and must now be imported from functools. from functools import reduce def factorial(n): return reduce(lambda a, b: (a*b), range(1, n+1))

Lubridate provides ymd() series of functions for parsing character strings into dates. The letters y, m, and d correspond to the year, month, and day elements of a date-time. mdy("07-21-2016") # Returns Date ## [1] "2016-07-21" mdy("07-21-2016", t...

date <- now() date ## "2016-07-22 03:42:35 IST" year(date) ## 2016 minute(date) ## 42 wday(date, label = T, abbr = T) # [1] Fri # Levels: Sun < Mon < Tues < Wed < Thurs < Fri < Sat day(date) <- 31 ## "2016-07-31 03:42:35 IST" # If an ...

Intervals are simplest way of recording timespans in lubridate. An interval is a span of time that occurs between two specific instants. # create interval by substracting two instants today_start <- ymd_hms("2016-07-22 12-00-00", tz="IST") today_start ## [1] "2016-07-...

now_dt <- ymd_hms(now(), tz="IST") now_dt ## [1] "2016-07-22 13:53:09 IST" round_date() takes a date-time object and rounds it to the nearest integer value of the specified time unit. round_date(now_dt, "minute") ## [1] "2016-07-22 13:53:00 IST" r...

Unlike durations, periods can be used to accurately model clock times without knowing when events such as leap seconds, leap days, and DST changes occur. start_2012 <- ymd_hms("2012-01-01 12:00:00") ## [1] "2012-01-01 12:00:00 UTC" # period() considers leap year calculati...
