Functions allow you to specify these types of parameters: positional, named, variable positional, Keyword args (kwargs). Here is a clear and concise use of each type. def unpacking(a, b, c=45, d=60, *args, **kwargs): print(a, b, c, d, args, kwargs) >>> unpacking(1, 2) 1 2 45 60 ()...

Early on a Flash developer uses frames, as they are natively available in Flash player, to host various screens of their application (most often it's a game). Eventually they might stumble upon an issue that something goes wrong exactly because they have used frames, and overlooked the difficulties ...

The AlertDialog from android.app package displays differently on different Android OS Versions. The Android V7 Appcompat library pro...

A function can be defined using guards, which can be thought of classifying behaviour according to input. Take the following function definition: absolute :: Int -> Int -- definition restricted to Ints for simplicity absolute n = if (n < 0) then (-n) else n We can rearrange it using gua...

Maybe Maybe is a Functor containing a possibly-absent value: instance Functor Maybe where fmap f Nothing = Nothing fmap f (Just x) = Just (f x) Maybe's instance of Functor applies a function to a value wrapped in a Just. If the computation has previously failed (so the Maybe value is ...

const namedMember1 = ... const namedMember2 = ... const namedMember3 = ... export { namedMember1, namedMember2, namedMember3 }

The __import__() function can be used to import modules where the name is only known at runtime if user_input == "os": os = __import__("os") # equivalent to import os This function can also be used to specify the file path to a module mod = __import__(r"C:/path/...

You are right in the middle of working on a new feature, and your boss comes in demanding that you fix something immediately. You may typically want use git stash to store your changes away temporarily. However, at this point your working tree is in a state of disarray (with new, moved, and removed ...

A VHDL program can be simulated or synthesized. Simulation is what resembles most the execution in other programming languages. Synthesis translates a VHDL program into a network of logic gates. Many VHDL simulation and synthesis tools are parts of commercial Electronic Design Automation (EDA) s...

An atomic type can be used to safely read and write to a memory location shared between two threads. A Bad example that is likely to cause a data race: #include <thread> #include <iostream> //function will add all values including and between 'a' and 'b' to 'result' void add(int...

0.170.18.0 At the time of writing (July 2016) elm-reactor has been temporarily stripped of its time traveling functionality. It's possible to get it, though, using the jinjor/elm-time-travel package. It's usage mirrors Html.App or Navigation modules' program* functions, for example instead of: im...

> List.repeat 3 "abc" ["abc","abc","abc"] : List String You can give List.repeat any value: > List.repeat 2 {a = 1, b = (2,True)} [{a = 1, b = (2,True)}, {a = 1, b = (2,True)}] : List {a : Int, b : (Int, Bool)}

List.sortWith allows you to sort lists with data of any shape - you supply it with a comparison function. compareBools : Bool -> Bool -> Order compareBools a b = case (a,b) of (False, True) -> LT (True, False) -> GT _ -> ...

List.sortBy allows to use a function on the elements and use its result for the comparison. > List.sortBy String.length ["longest","short","medium"] ["short","medium","longest"] : List String -- because the lengths are: [7,5,6] It ...

C++14 Those following duration user literals are declared in the namespace std::literals::chrono_literals, where both literals and chrono_literals are inline namespaces. Access to these operators can be gained with using namespace std::literals, using namespace std::chrono_literals, and using names...

A const Enum is the same as a normal Enum. Except that no Object is generated at compile time. Instead, the literal values are substituted where the const Enum is used. // Typescript: A const Enum can be defined like a normal Enum (with start value, specifig values, etc.) const enum NinjaActivity ...
