Incrementing (++) and Decrementing Operators (--)

Variables can be incremented or decremented by 1 with ++ or --, respectively. They can either precede or succeed variables and slightly vary semantically, as shown below. $i = 1; echo $i; // Prints 1 // Pre-increment operator increments $i by one, then returns $i echo ++$i; // Prints 2 // P...

Synchronization Primitive: Event

Concept Use an Event to synchronize the scheduling of multiple coroutines. Put simply, an event is like the gun shot at a running race: it lets the runners off the starting blocks. Example import asyncio # event trigger function def trigger(event): print('EVENT SET') event.set() #...

Avoiding gaps in tables used as arrays

Defining our terms By array here we mean a Lua table used as a sequence. For example: -- Create a table to store the types of pets we like. local pets = {"dogs", "cats", "birds"} We're using this table as a sequence: a group of items keyed by integers. Many langua...

Integer Conversions in Function Calls

Given that the function has a proper prototype, integers are widened for calls to functions according to the rules of integer conversion, C11 6.3.1.3. 6.3.1.3 Signed and unsigned integers When a value with integer type is converted to another integer type other than _Bool, if the value can be r...

Pointer Conversions in Function Calls

Pointer conversions to void* are implicit, but any other pointer conversion must be explicit. While the compiler allows an explicit conversion from any pointer-to-data type to any other pointer-to-data type, accessing an object through a wrongly typed pointer is erroneous and leads to undefined beh...

In an inherited class with managed resources

It's fairly common that you may create a class that implements IDisposable, and then derive classes that also contain managed resources. It is recommendeded to mark the Dispose method with the virtual keyword so that clients have the ability to cleanup any resources they may own. public class Paren...

Synchronously executing asynchronous NPM methods w/ callbacks.

This example wraps the asynchronous method oauth2.client.getToken(callback) from the package NPM package simple-oauth2into a Fiber so that the method may be called synchronously. const oauth2 = require('simple-oauth2')(credentials); const credentials = { clientID: '#####', clientSecret...

ElementAt and ElementAtOrDefault

ElementAt will return the item at index n. If n is not within the range of the enumerable, throws an ArgumentOutOfRangeException. int[] numbers = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; numbers.ElementAt(2); // 3 numbers.ElementAt(10); // throws ArgumentOutOfRangeException ElementAtOrDefault will return the item...

Linq Quantifiers

Quantifier operations return a Boolean value if some or all of the elements in a sequence satisfy a condition. In this article, we will see some common LINQ to Objects scenarios where we can use these operators. There are 3 Quantifiers operations that can be used in LINQ: All – used to determine w...

Using IntStream to iterate over indexes

Streams of elements usually do not allow access to the index value of the current item. To iterate over an array or ArrayList while having access to indexes, use IntStream.range(start, endExclusive). String[] names = { "Jon", "Darin", "Bauke", "Hans", "M...
