Base Document Language

It’s a good practice to declare the primary language of the document in the html element: <html lang="en"> If no other lang attribute is specified in the document, it means that everything (i.e., element content and attribute text values) is in that language. If the document con...

Usage with anonymous types

Object initializers are the only way to initialize anonymous types, which are types generated by the compiler. var album = new { Band = "Beatles", Title = "Abbey Road" }; For that reason object initializers are widely used in LINQ select queries, since they provide a convenie...

What a named capture group looks like

Given the flavors, the named capture group may looks like this: (?'name'X) (?<name>X) (?P<name>X) With X being the pattern you want to capture. Let's consider the following string: Once upon a time there was a pretty little girl... Once upon a time there was a unicorn with an h...

Reference a named capture group

As you may (or not) know, you can reference a capture group with: $1 1 being the group number. In the same way, you can reference a named capture group with: ${name} \{name} g\{name} Let's take the preceding example and replace the matches with The hero of the story is a ${subject}. T...

Reference Cycles and Weak References

A reference cycle (or retain cycle) is so named because it indicates a cycle in the object graph: Each arrow indicates one object retaining another (a strong reference). Unless the cycle is broken, the memory for these objects will never be freed. A retain cycle is created when two instances of ...

Define and use Build Configuration Fields

BuildConfigField Gradle allows buildConfigField lines to define constants. These constants will be accessible at runtime as static fields of the BuildConfig class. This can be used to create flavors by defining all fields within the defaultConfig block, then overriding them for individual build fla...

Lambdas can be emitted both as `Func` and `Expression`

Assuming the following Person class: public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } The following lambda: p => p.Age > 18 Can be passed as an argument to both methods: public void AsFunc(Func<Person, bool> func) public void AsE...

An instance of Foldable for a binary tree

To instantiate Foldable you need to provide a definition for at least foldMap or foldr. data Tree a = Leaf | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a) instance Foldable Tree where foldMap f Leaf = mempty foldMap f (Node l x r) = foldMap f l `mappend` f x `mappend` foldMap f r fo...

Tokenisation: strtok(), strtok_r() and strtok_s()

The function strtok breaks a string into a smaller strings, or tokens, using a set of delimiters. #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { int toknum = 0; char src[] = "Hello,, world!"; const char delimiters[] = ", !"; char *to...

An instance of Traversable for a binary tree

Implementations of traverse usually look like an implementation of fmap lifted into an Applicative context. data Tree a = Leaf | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a) instance Traversable Tree where traverse f Leaf = pure Leaf traverse f (Node l x r) = Node <$> traverse f l <*...

vector: The Exception To So Many, So Many Rules

The standard (section 23.3.7) specifies that a specialization of vector<bool> is provided, which optimizes space by packing the bool values, so that each takes up only one bit. Since bits aren't addressable in C++, this means that several requirements on vector are not placed on vector<bool...

Generating Compiler Warnings and Errors

Compiler warnings can be generated using the #warning directive, and errors can likewise be generated using the #error directive. #if SOME_SYMBOL #error This is a compiler Error. #elif SOME_OTHER_SYMBOL #warning This is a compiler Warning. #endif

Defining and Undefining Symbols

A compiler symbol is a keyword that is defined at compile-time that can be checked for to conditionally execute specific sections of code. There are three ways to define a compiler symbol. They can be defined via code: #define MYSYMBOL They can be defined in Visual Studio, under Project Propert...
