Tutorial by Examples: n

The setTimeout() method calls a function or evaluates an expression after a specified number of milliseconds. It is also a trivial way to achieve an asynchronous operation. In this example calling the wait function resolves the promise after the time specified as first argument: function wait(ms) ...

Integers in PHP can be natively specified in base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), base 10 (decimal), or base 16 (hexadecimal.) $my_decimal = 42; $my_binary = 0b101010; $my_octal = 052; $my_hexadecimal = 0x2a; echo ($my_binary + $my_octal) / 2; // Output is always in decimal: 42 Integers are 3...

A traditional for-loop A traditional for loop has three components: The initialization: executed before the look block is executed the first time The condition: checks a condition every time before the loop block is executed, and quits the loop if false The afterthought: performed every time a...

In addition to the built-in round function, the math module provides the floor, ceil, and trunc functions. x = 1.55 y = -1.55 # round to the nearest integer round(x) # 2 round(y) # -2 # the second argument gives how many decimal places to round to (defaults to 0) round(x, 1) ...

Sometimes, when you have local changes incompatible with remote changes (ie, when you cannot fast-forward the remote branch, or the remote branch is not a direct ancestor of your local branch), the only way to push your changes is a force push. git push -f or git push --force Important not...

import random shuffle() You can use random.shuffle() to mix up/randomize the items in a mutable and indexable sequence. For example a list: laughs = ["Hi", "Ho", "He"] random.shuffle(laughs) # Shuffles in-place! Don't do: laughs = random.shuffle(laughs) p...

import random randint() Returns a random integer between x and y (inclusive): random.randint(x, y) For example getting a random number between 1 and 8: random.randint(1, 8) # Out: 8 randrange() random.randrange has the same syntax as range and unlike random.randint, the last value is no...

jQuery is the starting point for writing any jQuery code. It can be used as a function jQuery(...) or a variable jQuery.foo. $ is an alias for jQuery and the two can usually be interchanged for each other (except where jQuery.noConflict(); has been used - see Avoiding namespace collisions). Assumi...

git log --oneline will show all of your commits with only the first part of the hash and the commit message. Each commit will be in a single line, as the oneline flag suggests. The oneline option prints each commit on a single line, which is useful if you’re looking at a lot of commits. - sou...

Protocols may define associated type requirements using the associatedtype keyword: protocol Container { associatedtype Element var count: Int { get } subscript(index: Int) -> Element { get set } } Protocols with associated type requirements can only be used as generic constraints:...

break statement When a break statement executes inside a loop, control flow "breaks" out of the loop immediately: i = 0 while i < 7: print(i) if i == 4: print("Breaking from loop") break i += 1 The loop conditional will not be evaluated a...

Standard Creation It is recommended to use this form only when creating regex from dynamic variables. Use when the expression may change or the expression is user generated. var re = new RegExp(".*"); With flags: var re = new RegExp(".*", "gmi"); With a backsl...

Match Using .exec() RegExp.prototype.exec(string) returns an array of captures, or null if there was no match. var re = /([0-9]+)[a-z]+/; var match = re.exec("foo123bar"); match.index is 3, the (zero-based) location of the match. match[0] is the full match string. match[1] is the t...

var re = /[a-z]+/; if (re.test("foo")) { console.log("Match exists."); } The test method performs a search to see if a regular expression matches a string. The regular expression [a-z]+ will search for one or more lowercase letters. Since the pattern matches the string,...

The String object has the following methods that accept regular expressions as arguments. "string".match(... "string".replace(... "string".split(... "string".search(... Match with RegExp console.log("string".match(/[i-n]+/)); console.log(&...

git remote add upstream git-repository-url Adds remote git repository represented by git-repository-url as new remote named upstream to the git repository

Assuming you set the upstream (as in the "setting an upstream repository") git fetch remote-name git merge remote-name/branch-name The pull command combines a fetch and a merge. git pull The pull with --rebase flag command combines a fetch and a rebase instead of merge. git pull ...

To stage a file for committing, run git add <filename>

git add -A 2.0 git add . In version 2.x, git add . will stage all changes to files in the current directory and all its subdirectories. However, in 1.x it will only stage new and modified files, not deleted files. Use git add -A, or its equivalent command git add --all, to stage all ch...

You can make Git ignore certain files and directories — that is, exclude them from being tracked by Git — by creating one or more .gitignore files in your repository. In software projects, .gitignore typically contains a listing of files and/or directories that are generated during the build proces...
