The following is handy to have in build logs that identifies the build machine, and some parameters; simply make you main task depend on this task to print it before every build. <!-- Print Environment Info --> <target name="environment"> <!-- Get the current ti...

Mathematical operations on values other than numbers return NaN. "a" + 1 "b" * 3 "cde" - "e" [1, 2, 3] * 2 An exception: Single-number arrays. [2] * [3] // Returns 6 Also, remember that the + operator concatenates strings. "a" + "b&...

Generally, Math functions that are given non-numeric arguments will return NaN. Math.floor("a") The square root of a negative number returns NaN, because Math.sqrt does not support imaginary or complex numbers. Math.sqrt(-1)

window.isNaN() The global function isNaN() can be used to check if a certain value or expression evaluates to NaN. This function (in short) first checks if the value is a number, if not tries to convert it (*), and then checks if the resulting value is NaN. For this reason, this testing method may ...

Output buffering allows you to store any textual content (Text, HTML) in a variable and send to the browser as one piece at the end of your script. By default, php sends your content as it interprets it. <?php // Turn on output buffering ob_start(); // Print some output to the buffer (via...

import multiprocessing def fib(n): """computing the Fibonacci in an inefficient way was chosen to slow down the CPU.""" if n <= 2: return 1 else: return fib(n-1)+fib(n-2) p = multiprocessing.Pool() print(p.map(fib,[38,37,3...

Using the threading module, a new thread of execution may be started by creating a new threading.Thread and assigning it a function to execute: import threading def foo(): print "Hello threading!" my_thread = threading.Thread(target=foo) The target parameter references the fun...

By adding > in front of a line, you can create quoted text! > I am a quote I am a quote!

Node provides the module.exports interface to expose functions and variables to other files. The most simple way to do so is to export only one object (function or variable), as shown in the first example. hello-world.js module.exports = function(subject) { console.log('Hello ' + subject); }...

Considering the following users table: idusername1User12User23User34User45User5 In order to constrain the number of rows in the result set of a SELECT query, the LIMIT clause can be used together with one or two positive integers as arguments (zero included). LIMIT clause with one argument When ...

This Ruby example uses Mechanize, a library to automate web interactions. client_id is an OAuth client_id. game is the game directory to list. require 'mechanize' master_agent = Mechanize.new client_id = "123" game = "Minecraft" url = "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken...

On StackExchange sites, code snippets may provide optional syntax highlighting. On sites like Stack Overflow the default language is derived from the tags used in the associated question (if applicable). In addition, a code snippet's syntax highlighting language may also be defined by adding an HTML...

Every format type is related to an HTML tag. The First Heading refers to the <h1> tag and is visualized like: Hello World and it's written underlining the text with =: Hello World =========== or by prepending # to the text: # Hello World The Second Heading refers to the <h2&gt...

One use case for assertion is precondition and postcondition. This can be very useful to maintain invariant and design by contract. For a example a length is always zero or positive so this function must return a zero or positive value. #include <stdio.h> /* Uncomment to disable `assert()`...

When an exception object is created (i.e. when you new it), the Throwable constructor captures information about the context in which the exception was created. Later on, this information can be output in the form of a stacktrace, which can be used to help diagnose the problem that caused the excep...

You can overload all basic arithmetic operators: + and += - and -= * and *= / and /= & and &= | and |= ^ and ^= >> and >>= << and <<= Overloading for all operators is the same. Scroll down for explanation Overloading outside of class/struct: //operator...

You can overload the function call operator (): Overloading must be done inside of a class/struct: //R -> Return type //Types -> any different type R operator()(Type name, Type2 name2, ...) { //Do something //return something } //Use it like this (R is return type, a and b a...

This method can be used to convert a formatted string representation of a date into a Date object. /** * Parses the date using the given format. * * @param formattedDate the formatted date string * @param dateFormat the date format which was used to create the string. ...

An assertion is a statement used to assert that a fact must be true when that line of code is reached. Assertions are useful for ensuring that expected conditions are met. When the condition passed to an assertion is true, there is no action. The behavior on false conditions depends on compiler fl...
