Changing Text in an Existing Label

Changing the text of an existing UILabel can be done by accessing and modifying the text property of the UILabel. This can be done directly using String literals or indirectly using variables. Setting the text with String literals Swift label.text = "the new text" Objective-C // Do...

Reproducible random numbers: Seed and State

Setting a specific Seed will create a fixed random-number series: random.seed(5) # Create a fixed state print(random.randrange(0, 10)) # Get a random integer between 0 and 9 # Out: 9 print(random.randrange(0, 10)) # Out: 4 Resetting the seed will create the same &qu...

Reading an image from a file

import java.awt.Image; import javax.imageio.ImageIO; ... try { Image img = ImageIO.read(new File("~/Desktop/cat.png")); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

Types of Optionals

Optionals are a generic enum type that acts as a wrapper. This wrapper allows a variable to have one of two states: the value of the user-defined type or nil, which represents the absence of a value. This ability is particularly important in Swift because one of the stated design objectives of the ...

Greater than or less than

x > y x < y These operators compare two types of values, they're the less than and greater than operators. For numbers this simply compares the numerical values to see which is larger: 12 > 4 # True 12 < 4 # False 1 < 4 # True For strings they will compare lexicographical...

Not equal to

x != y This returns True if x and y are not equal and otherwise returns False. 12 != 1 # True 12 != '12' # True '12' != '12' # False

Importing a module

Use the import statement: >>> import random >>> print(random.randint(1, 10)) 4 import module will import a module and then allow you to reference its objects -- values, functions and classes, for example -- using the module.name syntax. In the above example, the random module...

Importing specific names from a module

Instead of importing the complete module you can import only specified names: from random import randint # Syntax "from MODULENAME import NAME1[, NAME2[, ...]]" print(randint(1, 10)) # Out: 5 from random is needed, because the python interpreter has to know from which resource it...

Assigning a Function Pointer

#include <stdio.h> /* increment: take number, increment it by one, and return it */ int increment(int i) { printf("increment %d by 1\n", i); return i + 1; } /* decrement: take number, decrement it by one, and return it */ int decrement(int i) { printf("...

Returning Function Pointers from a Function

#include <stdio.h> enum Op { ADD = '+', SUB = '-', }; /* add: add a and b, return result */ int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } /* sub: subtract b from a, return result */ int sub(int a, int b) { return a - b; } /* getmath: return the appropriate m...

Importing all names from a module

from module_name import * for example: from math import * sqrt(2) # instead of math.sqrt(2) ceil(2.7) # instead of math.ceil(2.7) This will import all names defined in the math module into the global namespace, other than names that begin with an underscore (which indicates that the wri...

Chain Comparisons

You can compare multiple items with multiple comparison operators with chain comparison. For example x > y > z is just a short form of: x > y and y > z This will evaluate to True only if both comparisons are True. The general form is a OP b OP c OP d ... Where OP represents ...

Getting the minimum or maximum of several values

min(7,2,1,5) # Output: 1 max(7,2,1,5) # Output: 7

Using the key argument

Finding the minimum/maximum of a sequence of sequences is possible: list_of_tuples = [(0, 10), (1, 15), (2, 8)] min(list_of_tuples) # Output: (0, 10) but if you want to sort by a specific element in each sequence use the key-argument: min(list_of_tuples, key=lambda x: x[0]) # Sorting ...

Default Argument to max, min

You can't pass an empty sequence into max or min: min([]) ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence However, with Python 3, you can pass in the keyword argument default with a value that will be returned if the sequence is empty, instead of raising an exception: max([], default=42) ...

Getting Started

Create a file hello.html with the following content: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Hello, World!</title> </head> <body> <div> <p id="hello">Some random text</p> </div> <script src=...

Creating an Array with the literal constructor [ ]

Arrays can be created by enclosing a list of elements in square brackets ([ and ]). Array elements in this notation are separated with commas: array = [1, 2, 3, 4] Arrays can contain any kind of objects in any combination with no restrictions on type: array = [1, 'b', nil, [3, 4]]

Create Array of Strings

Arrays of strings can be created using ruby's percent string syntax: array = %w(one two three four) This is functionally equivalent to defining the array as: array = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four'] Instead of %w() you may use other matching pairs of delimiters: %w{...}, %w[...] or %w<...&...

Create Array with Array::new

An empty Array ([]) can be created with Array's class method, Array::new: Array.new To set the length of the array, pass a numerical argument: Array.new 3 #=> [nil, nil, nil] There are two ways to populate an array with default values: Pass an immutable value as second argument. P...

Creating a Frequency Map

The groupingBy(classifier, downstream) collector allows the collection of Stream elements into a Map by classifying each element in a group and performing a downstream operation on the elements classified in the same group. A classic example of this principle is to use a Map to count the occurrence...
