String literals in Swift are delimited with double quotes ("): let greeting = "Hello!" // greeting's type is String Characters can be initialized from string literals, as long as the literal contains only one grapheme cluster: let chr: Character = "H" // valid let chr...

Git will usually open an editor (like vim or emacs) when you run git commit. Pass the -m option to specify a message from the command line: git commit -m "Commit message here" Your commit message can go over multiple lines: git commit -m "Commit 'subject line' message here Mor...

var a = Math.random(); Sample value of a: 0.21322848065742162 Math.random() returns a random number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive) function getRandom() { return Math.random(); } To use Math.random() to get a number from an arbitrary range (not [0,1)) use this function to get a...

The attribute tools:ignore can be used in xml files to dismiss lint warnings. BUT dismissing lint warnings with this technique is most of the time the wrong way to proceed. A lint warning must be understood and fixed... it can be ignored if and only if you have a full understanding of it's meaning...

Extensions can contain convenience initializers. For example, a failable initializer for Int that accepts a NSString: extension Int { init?(_ string: NSString) { self.init(string as String) // delegate to the existing Int.init(String) initializer } } let str1: NSString = &qu...

def multiply(s1, s2): print('{arg1} * {arg2} = {res}'.format(arg1=s1, arg2=s2, res=s1*s2)) return s1 * s2 asequence = [1, 2, 3] Given an initializer the function is started by applying it to the...

Presence works by sending messages when a user joins, leaves, or times out from a particular channel. You can listen for these messages to track who is in a channel, and how long since they did anything. First, make sure each user as a UUID. Set this when you initialize PubNub: var pubnub = PUBNUB...

In addition to .done, .fail and .always promise callbacks, which are triggered based on whether the request was successful or not, there is the option to trigger a function when a specific HTTP Status Code is returned from the server. This can be done using the statusCode parameter. $.ajax({ t...

For example, you can take the absolute value of each element: list(map(abs, (1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3))) # the call to `list` is unnecessary in 2.x # Out: [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3] Anonymous function also support for mapping a list: map(lambda x:x*2, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) # Out: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] or convert...

For example calculating the average of each i-th element of multiple iterables: def average(*args): return float(sum(args)) / len(args) # cast to float - only mandatory for python 2.x measurement1 = [100, 111, 99, 97] measurement2 = [102, 117, 91, 102] measurement3 = [104, 102, 95, 101] ...

[0-9] and \d are equivalent patterns (unless your Regex engine is unicode-aware and \d also matches things like ②). They will both match a single digit character so you can use whichever notation you find more readable. Create a string of the pattern you wish to match. If using the \d notation, you...

CREATE INDEX ix_cars_employee_id ON Cars (EmployeeId); This will create an index for the column EmployeeId in the table Cars. This index will improve the speed of queries asking the server to sort or select by values in EmployeeId, such as the following: SELECT * FROM Cars WHERE EmployeeId = 1 ...

Exponentiation can be used by using the builtin pow-function or the ** operator: 2 ** 3 # 8 pow(2, 3) # 8 For most (all in Python 2.x) arithmetic operations the result's type will be that of the wider operand. This is not true for **; the following cases are exceptions from this rule: B...

The math-module contains another math.pow() function. The difference to the builtin pow()-function or ** operator is that the result is always a float: import math math.pow(2, 2) # 4.0 math.pow(-2., 2) # 4.0 Which excludes computations with complex inputs: math.pow(2, 2+0j) TypeErro...

The math module contains the expm1()-function that can compute the expression math.e ** x - 1 for very small x with higher precision than math.exp(x) or cmath.exp(x) would allow: import math print(math.e ** 1e-3 - 1) # 0.0010005001667083846 print(math.exp(1e-3) - 1) # 0.0010005001667083846 p...

Supposing you have a class that stores purely integer values: class Integer(object): def __init__(self, value): self.value = int(value) # Cast to an integer def __repr__(self): return '{cls}({val})'.format(cls=self.__class__.__name__, ...

A submodule references a specific commit in another repository. To check out the exact state that is referenced for all submodules, run git submodule update --recursive Sometimes instead of using the state that is referenced you want to update to your local checkout to the latest state of that s...

You can list existing git aliases using --get-regexp: $ git config --get-regexp '^alias\.' Searching aliases To search aliases, add the following to your .gitconfig under [alias]: aliases = !git config --list | grep ^alias\\. | cut -c 7- | grep -Ei --color \"$1\" "#" The...

String also have an index method but also more advanced options and the additional str.find. For both of these there is a complementary reversed method. astring = 'Hello on StackOverflow' astring.index('o') # 4 astring.rindex('o') # 20 astring.find('o') # 4 astring.rfind('o') # 20 The ...

All built-in collections in Python implement a way to check element membership using in. List alist = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] 5 in alist # True 10 in alist # False Tuple atuple = ('0', '1', '2', '3', '4') 4 in atuple # False '4' in atuple # True String astring = 'i am a s...
