The std::nth_element algorithm takes three iterators: an iterator to the beginning, nth position, and end. Once the function returns, the nth element (by order) will be the nth smallest element. (The function has more elaborate overloads, e.g., some taking comparison functors; see the above link for...

Ref returns and ref locals are useful for manipulating and returning references to blocks of memory instead of copying memory without resorting to unsafe pointers. Ref Return public static ref TValue Choose<TValue>( Func<bool> condition, ref TValue left, ref TValue right) { ...

When static_cast is used to convert T D::* to T B::*, the member pointed to must belong to a class that is a base class or derived class of B. Otherwise the behavior is undefined. See Derived to base conversion for pointers to members

For the built-in shift operator, the right operand must be nonnegative and strictly less than the bit width of the promoted left operand. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined. const int a = 42; const int b = a << -1; // UB const int c = a << 0; // ok const int d = a << 32; // ...

C++11 Example from the Standard, [dcl.attr.noreturn]: [[ noreturn ]] void f() { throw "error"; // OK } [[ noreturn ]] void q(int i) { // behavior is undefined if called with an argument <= 0 if (i > 0) throw "positive"; }

Example from the Standard, [temp.inst]/17: template<class T> class X { X<T>* p; // OK X<T*> a; // implicit generation of X<T> requires // the implicit instantiation of X<T*> which requires // the implicit instantiation of X<T**&...

To delete a file (if you have required permissions) is as simple as: File.Delete(path); However many things may go wrong: You do not have required permissions (UnauthorizedAccessException is thrown). File may be in use by someone else (IOException is thrown). File cannot be deleted because ...

To change a text file is not easy because its content must be moved around. For small files easiest method is to read its content in memory and then write back modified text. In this example we read all lines from a file and drop all blank lines then we write back to original path: File.WriteAllLi...

Text is saved encoded (see also Strings topic) then sometimes you may need to change its encoding, this example assumes (for simplicity) that file is not too big and it can be entirely read in memory: public static void ConvertEncoding(string path, Encoding from, Encoding to) { File.WriteAllT...

This example updates last write time of a huge number of files (using System.IO.Directory.EnumerateFiles instead of System.IO.Directory.GetFiles()). Optionally you can specify a search pattern (default is "*.*" and eventually search through a directory tree (not only the specified director...

This snippet is an helper function to enumerate all files older than a specified age, it's useful - for example - when you have to delete old log files or old cached data. static IEnumerable<string> EnumerateAllFilesOlderThan( TimeSpan maximumAge, ...

Having example type like this: public TestClass { public static string StaticPublicField = "StaticPublicFieldValue"; } We can retrieve value of StaticPublicField: var fieldExpr = Expression.Field(null, typeof(TestClass), "StaticPublicField"); var labmda = Expression....

Autostash is a very useful configuration option when using rebase for local changes. Oftentimes, you may need to bring in commits from the upstream branch, but are not ready to commit just yet. However, Git does not allow a rebase to start if the working directory is not clean. Autostash to the res...

echo off cls sqlcmd.exe -S "your server name" -U "sql user name" -P "sql password" -d "name of databse" -Q "here you may write your query/stored procedure" Batch files like these can be used to automate tasks, for example to make backups of ...

To use opacity in all versions of IE, the order is: .transparent-element { /* for IE 8 & 9 */ -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=60)"; // IE8 /* works in IE 8 & 9 too, but also 5, 6, 7 */ filter: alpha(opacity=60); // IE 5-7 /* Modern Browse...

The flip flop operator .. is used between two conditions in a conditional statement: (1..5).select do |e| e if (e == 2) .. (e == 4) end # => [2, 3, 4] The condition evaluates to false until the first part becomes true. Then it evaluates to true until the second part becomes true. After t...

We can create a better mapper classes with extension methods, Suppose if i have some DTO classes like public class UserDTO { public AddressDTO Address { get; set; } } public class AddressDTO { public string Name { get; set; } } and i need to map to corresponding v...

cts:search( fn:doc(), cts:word-query("marklogic"))

This can be done in the following two ways - cts:search( fn:collection("first-collection"), cts:word-query("marklogic")) In this, the scope is changed from all the documents to documents in collection "first-collection" only. In the second approach, use ...

This query returns all the documents with element "company" and its value as "marklogic" cts:element-value-query(xs:QName('company'), 'marklogic'))
