Switch Statement with CaseSensitive Parameter

The -CaseSensitive parameter enforces switch statements to perform exact, case-sensitive matching against conditions. Example: switch -CaseSensitive ('Condition') { 'condition' {'First Action'} 'Condition' {'Second Action'} 'conditioN' {'Third Action'} } Output: Second Act...

Switch Statement with File Parameter

The -file parameter allows the switch statement to receive input from a file. Each line of the file is evaluated by the switch statement. Example file input.txt: condition test Example switch statement: switch -file input.txt { 'condition' {'First Action'} 'test' {'Second Action...

Overloading + for Dictionaries

As there is currently no simple way of combining dictionaries in Swift, it can be useful to overload the + and += operators in order to add this functionality using generics. // Combines two dictionaries together. If both dictionaries contain // the same key, the value of the right hand side dicti...

This is confusing. Why not just always use parentheses?

Parentheses are used to enclose the arguments of function calls. Using them for procedure calls can cause unexpected problems. Because they can introduce bugs, both at run-time by passing a possibly unintended value to the procedure, and at compile-time by simply being invalid syntax. Run-time Re...

Lexicographical comparison

Two std::strings can be compared lexicographically using the operators ==, !=, <, <=, >, and >=: std::string str1 = "Foo"; std::string str2 = "Bar"; assert(!(str1 < str2)); assert(str > str2); assert(!(str1 <= str2)); assert(str1 >= str2); assert...

Creating NSArray instances

NSArray *array1 = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"one", @"two", @"three", nil]; NSArray *array2 = @[@"one", @"two", @"three"];

Searching for a Substring

To search if a String contains a substring, do the following: NSString *myString = @"This is for checking substrings"; NSString *subString = @"checking"; BOOL doesContainSubstring = [myString containsString:subString]; // YES If targeting iOS 7 or OS X 10.9 (or earlier)...

Work with Arrays, Not With Ranges

Office Blog - Excel VBA Performance Coding Best Practices Often, best performance is achieved by avoiding the use of Range as much as possible. In this example we read in an entire Range object into an array, square each number in the array, and then return the array back to the Range. This accesse...

Variable Names

Variables hold data. Name them after what they're used for, not after their data type or scope, using a noun. If you feel compelled to number your variables (e.g. thing1, thing2, thing3), then consider using an appropriate data structure instead (e.g. an array, a Collection, or a Dictionary). Names...

Using Range with various Linq methods

You can use the Enumerable class alongside Linq queries to convert for loops into Linq one liners. Select Example Opposed to doing this: var asciiCharacters = new List<char>(); for (var x = 0; x < 256; x++) { asciiCharacters.Add((char)x); } You can do this: var asciiCharacter...

Remove value from array

When you need to remove a specific value from an array, you can use the following one-liner to create a copy array without the given value: array.filter(function(val) { return val !== to_remove; }); Or if you want to change the array itself without creating a copy (for example if you write a fun...

Forward Declarations

It's possible to declare protocol name without methods: @protocol Person; use it your code (class definition, etc): @interface World : NSObject @property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray<id<some>> *employees; @end and later define protocol's method somewhere in your code: @protocol...

Conditional pattern matching with guards

Patterns can be matched based on values independent to the value being matched using if guards: // Let's imagine a simplistic web app with the following pages: enum Page { Login, Logout, About, Admin } // We are authenticated let is_authenticated = true; // But we aren't admins...

Simple Bar Chart

index.html <!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>D3 Sample</title> </head> <body> <!-- This will serve as a container for our chart. This does not have to be a div, and can in fact, just be the body if you want. --> <div id=...

Restarting docker container

docker restart <container> [<container>...] Option --time : Seconds to wait for stop before killing the container (default 10) docker restart <container> --time 10

Declaring a delegate type

The following syntax creates a delegate type with name NumberInOutDelegate, representing a method which takes an int and returns an int. public delegate int NumberInOutDelegate(int input); This can be used as follows: public static class Program { static void Main() { Number...

Univariate Geometric Brownian Motion

The dynamics of the Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) are described by the following stochastic differential equation (SDE): I can use the exact solution to the SDE to generate paths that follow a GBM. Given daily parameters for a year-long simulation mu = 0.08/250; sigma = 0.25/sqrt(...

Passing in Arrays to Functions

int getListOfFriends(size_t size, int friend_indexes[]) { size_t i = 0; for (; i < size; i++) { friend_indexes[i] = i; } } C99C11 /* Type "void" and VLAs ("int friend_indexes[static size]") require C99 at least. In C11 VLAs are optional. */ void getLis...

Argument forwarding

Template may accept both lvalue and rvalue references using forwarding reference: template <typename T> void f(T &&t); In this case, the real type of t will be deduced depending on the context: struct X { }; X x; f(x); // calls f<X&>(x) f(X()); // calls f<X>(...

Discovering which virtual environment you are using

If you are using the default bash prompt on Linux, you should see the name of the virtual environment at the start of your prompt. (my-project-env) user@hostname:~$ which python /home/user/my-project-env/bin/python
