For lambdas with a single return statement, or multiple return statements whose expressions are of the same type, the compiler can deduce the return type: // Returns bool, because "value > 10" is a comparison which yields a Boolean result auto l = [](int value) { return value &gt...

On an ext filesystem, each file has a stored Access, Modification, and (Status) Change time associated with it - to view this information you can use stat myFile.txt; using flags within find, we can search for files that were modified within a certain time range. To find files that have been modifi...

To encode a string into a byte array, you can simply use the String#getBytes() method, with one of the standard character sets available on any Java runtime: byte[] bytes = "test".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8); and to decode: String testString = new String(bytes, StandardCharsets.U...

Functions can return tuples: func tupleReturner() -> (Int, String) { return (3, "Hello") } let myTuple = tupleReturner() print(myTuple.0) // 3 print(myTuple.1) // "Hello" If you assign parameter names, they can be used from the return value: func tupleReturner(...

Since the new line separator varies from platform to platform (e.g. \n on Unix-like systems or \r\n on Windows) it is often necessary to have a platform-independent way of accessing it. In Java it can be retrieved from a system property: System.getProperty("line.separator") Java SE 7 ...

Java SE 7 byte[] bytes = { 0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f }; try(FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream("Hello world.txt")) { stream.write(bytes); } catch (IOException ioe) { // Handle I/O Exception ioe.printStackTrace(); } Java SE 7 byte[] bytes = { 0x48, ...

Here is an example of a Bosun config file used in a development environment: tsdbHost = localhost:4242 httpListen = :8070 smtpHost = localhost:25 emailFrom = [email protected] timeAndDate = 202,75,179,136 ledisDir = ../ledis_data checkFrequency = 5m notification example.notification { ...

Preferences objects always represent a specific node in a whole Preferences tree, kind of like this: /userRoot ├── com │   └── mycompany │   └── myapp │   ├── darkApplicationMode=true │   ├── showExitConfirmation=false │   └── windowMaximized=true └── org └...

All instances of Preferences are always thread-safe across the threads of a single Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Because Preferences can be shared across multiple JVMs, there are special methods that deal with synchronizing changes across virtual machines. If you have an application which is supposed...

Preferences nodes can be exported into a XML document representing that node. The resulting XML tree can be imported again. The resulting XML document will remember whether it was exported from the user or system Preferences. To export a single node, but not its child nodes: Java SE 7 try (Output...

Preferences nodes can be imported from a XML document. Importing is meant to be used in conjunction with the exporting functionality of Preferences, since it creates the correct corresponding XML documents. The XML documents will remember whether they were exported from the user or system Preferenc...

A value of a Preferences node can be of the type String, boolean, byte[], double, float, int or long. All invocations must provide a default value, in case the specified value is not present in the Preferences node. Preferences preferences = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(getClass()); String som...

To store a value into the Preferences node, one of the putXXX() methods is used. A value of a Preferences node can be of the type String, boolean, byte[], double, float, int or long. Preferences preferences = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(getClass()); preferences.put("someKey", "...

Preferences can be used to store user settings that reflect a user's personal application settings, e.g. their editor font, whether they prefer the application to be started in full-screen mode, whether they checked a "don't show this again" checkbox and things like that. public class Exi...

void Main() { unsafe { int[] a = {1, 2, 3}; fixed(int* b = a) { Console.WriteLine(b[4]); } } } Running this code creates an array of length 3, but then tries to get the 5th item (index 4). On my machine, this printed 1910457872, bu...

You can apply any kind of additional processing to the output by passing a callable to ob_start(). <?php function clearAllWhiteSpace($buffer) { return str_replace(array("\n", "\t", ' '), '', $buffer); } ob_start('clearAllWhiteSpace'); ?> <h1>Lorem Ipsum&l...

C++11 for loops can be used to iterate over the elements of a iterator-based range, without using a numeric index or directly accessing the iterators: vector<float> v = {0.4f, 12.5f, 16.234f}; for(auto val: v) { std::cout << val << " "; } std::cout <<...

This uses the Dropbox Python SDK to upload a file to the Dropbox API from the local file as specified by file_path to the remote path as specified by dest_path. It also chooses whether or not to use an upload session based on the size of the file: f = open(file_path) file_size = os.path.getsize(fi...

foreach is used to iterate over the elements of an array or the items within a collection which implements IEnumerable✝. var lines = new string[] { "Hello world!", "How are you doing today?", "Goodbye" }; foreach (string line in lines) { Con...

When creating animations and other GPU-heavy actions, it's important to understand the will-change attribute. Both CSS keyframes and the transition property use GPU acceleration. Performance is increased by offloading calculations to the device's GPU. This is done by creating paint layers (parts of...
