unsigned char a = 234; // 1110 1010b (0xEA) unsigned char b = ~a; // 0001 0101b (0x15) std::cout << "a = " << static_cast<int>(a) << ", b = " << static_cast<int>(b) << std::endl; Output a = 234, b = 21 Why A b...

int a = 2; // 0010b int b = a >> 1; // 0001b std::cout << "a = " << a << ", b = " << b << std::endl; Output a = 2, b = 1 Why The right bit wise shift will shift the bits of the left hand value (a) the number specified on the righ...

The Windows API is provided by means of a C-callable interface. Success or failure of an API call is reported strictly through return values. Exceptions aren't part of the documented contract (although some API implementations can raise SEH exceptions, e.g. when passing a read-only lpCommandLine arg...

Some API calls return a single failure/success flag, without any additional information (e.g. GetObject): if ( GetObjectW( obj, 0, NULL ) == 0 ) { // Failure: no additional information available. }

In addition to a failure/success return value, some API calls also set the last error on failure (e.g. CreateWindow). The documentation usually contains the following standard wording for this case: If the function succeeds, the return value is <API-specific success value>. If the function...

Some API calls can succeed or fail in more than one way. The APIs commonly return additional information for both successful invocations as well as errors (e.g. CreateMutex). if ( CreateMutexW( NULL, TRUE, L"Global\\MyNamedMutex" ) == NULL ) { // Failure: get additional information. ...

HRESULTs are numeric 32-bit values, where bits or bit ranges encode well-defined information. The MSB is a failure/success flag, with the remaining bits storing additional information. Failure or success can be determined using the FAILED or SUCCEEDED macros. HRESULTs are commonly used with COM, but...

Add the following code (known as the "JavaScript tracking snippet") to your site's templates. The code should be added before the closing tag, and the string 'UA-XXXXX-Y' should be replaced with the property ID (also called the "tracking ID") of the Google Analytics property yo...

The . operator in Rust comes with a lot of magic! When you use ., the compiler will insert as many *s (dereferencing operations) necessary to find the method down the deref "tree". As this happens at compile time, there is no runtime cost of finding the method. let mut name: String = &quo...

In Drupal 7 and lower, your configuration is probably stored using the Features module. To update a feature with changes from the databases use this command: drush features-update [feature-name] // e.g. drush features-update content_type_news You can also use this shorthand: drush fu [feature-n...

function createNewFolderInGoogleDrive(folderName) { return DriveApp.createFolder(folderName); } Use function createNewFolderInGoogleDrive to create folder named Test folder in a Google Drive root: var newFolder = createNewFolderInGoogleDrive('Test folder'); newFolder has Class Folder typ...

A HTTP 500 Internal Server Error is a general message meaning that the server encountered something unexpected. Applications (or the overarching web server) should use a 500 when there's an error processing the request - i.e. an exception is thrown, or a condition of the resource prevents the proces...

Use 403 Forbidden when a client has requested a resource that is inaccessible due to existing access controls. For example, if your app has an /admin route that should only be accessible to users with administrative rights, you can use 403 when a normal user requests the page. GET /admin HTTP/1.1 ...

Iterable can be anything for which items are received one by one, forward only. Built-in Python collections are iterable: [1, 2, 3] # list, iterate over items (1, 2, 3) # tuple {1, 2, 3} # set {1: 2, 3: 4} # dict, iterate over keys Generators return iterables: def foo(): # foo ...

s = {1, 2, 3} # get every element in s for a in s: print a # prints 1, then 2, then 3 # copy into list l1 = list(s) # l1 = [1, 2, 3] # use list comprehension l2 = [a * 2 for a in s if a > 2] # l2 = [6]

Use unpacking to extract the first element and ensure it's the only one: a, = iterable def foo(): yield 1 a, = foo() # a = 1 nums = [1, 2, 3] a, = nums # ValueError: too many values to unpack

Start with iter() built-in to get iterator over iterable and use next() to get elements one by one until StopIteration is raised signifying the end: s = {1, 2} # or list or generator or even iterator i = iter(s) # get iterator a = next(i) # a = 1 b = next(i) # b = 2 c = next(i) # raises S...

def gen(): yield 1 iterable = gen() for a in iterable: print a # What was the first item of iterable? No way to get it now. # Only to get a new iterator gen()
