Since npm itself is a Node.js module, it can be updated using itself. If OS is Windows must be running command prompt as Admin npm install -g npm@latest If you want to check for updated versions you can do: npm outdated In order to update a specific package: npm update <package name>...

Specific to Windows System and android Phone: Requirements: USB Cable Android Device Android Driver Software Basically after connecting USB cable PC detects the Android Device and it will automatically search for the required Drivers for that Android Device. If that drivers are not found th...

Removing duplicate values in a list can be done by converting the list to a set (that is an unordered collection of distinct objects). If a list data structure is needed, then the set can be converted back to a list using the function list(): names = ["aixk", "duke", "edik&...

A closure is the PHP equivalent of an anonymous function, eg. a function that does not have a name. Even if that is technically not correct, the behavior of a closure remains the same as a function's, with a few extra features. A closure is nothing but an object of the Closure class which is create...

It is possible, inside a closure, to use an external variable with the special keyword use. For instance: <?php $quantity = 1; $calculator = function($number) use($quantity) { return $number + $quantity; }; var_dump($calculator(2)); // Shows "3" You can go further by ...

As seen previously, a closure is nothing but an instance of the Closure class, and different methods can be invoked on them. One of them is bindTo, which, given a closure, will return a new one that is bound to a given object. For example: <?php $myClosure = function() { echo $this->p...

Let's consider this example: <?php $myClosure = function() { echo $this->property; }; class MyClass { public $property; public function __construct($propertyValue) { $this->property = $propertyValue; } } $myInstance = new MyClass('Hello world...

Since PHP7, it is possible to bind a closure just for one call, thanks to the call method. For instance: <?php class MyClass { private $property; public function __construct($propertyValue) { $this->property = $propertyValue; } } $myClosure = function() ...

In general, an observer is a class with a specific method being called when an action on the observed object occurs. In certain situations, closures can be enough to implement the observer design pattern. Here is a detailed example of such an implementation. Let's first declare a class whose purpos...

We define two sets a and b >>> a = {1, 2, 2, 3, 4} >>> b = {3, 3, 4, 4, 5} NOTE: {1} creates a set of one element, but {} creates an empty dict. The correct way to create an empty set is set(). Intersection a.intersection(b) returns a new set with elements present in bot...

This example creates a simple 1-column repeater that displays a list of numbers, one per repeater item. Markup: <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server"> <ItemTemplate> <%# Container.DataItem.ToString() %> </ItemTemplate> </Repe...

Even though Python natively supports big integers, taking the nth root of very large numbers can fail in Python. x = 2 ** 100 cube = x ** 3 root = cube ** (1.0 / 3) OverflowError: long int too large to convert to float When dealing with such large integers, you will need to use a custom f...

HEAD is a special ref. It always points to the current object. You can see where it's currently pointing by checking the .git/HEAD file. Normally, HEAD points to another ref: $cat .git/HEAD ref: refs/heads/mainline But it can also point directly to an object: $ cat .git/HEAD 4bb6f98a223abc...

The git commit command does a few things: Create blobs and trees to represent your project directory - stored in .git/objects Creates a new commit object with your author information, commit message, and the root tree from step 1 - also stored in .git/objects Updates the HEAD ref in .git/HEAD t...

When you run git checkout on a commit (specified by hash or ref) you're telling git to make your working directory look like how it did when the snapshot was taken. Update the files in the working directory to match the tree inside the commit Update HEAD to point to the specified hash or ref ...

Running git reset --hard moves refs to the specified hash/ref. Moving MyBranch to b8dc53: $ git checkout MyBranch # moves HEAD to MyBranch $ git reset --hard b8dc53 # makes MyBranch point to b8dc53

Running git checkout -b <refname> will create a new ref that points to the current commit. $ cat .git/head 1f324a $ git checkout -b TestBranch $ cat .git/refs/heads/TestBranch 1f324a

MySQL's DELETE statement can use the JOIN construct, allowing also to specify which tables to delete from. This is useful to avoid nested queries. Given the schema: create table people ( id int primary key, name varchar(100) not null, gender char(1) not null ); insert people (id,na...

The reduce function can be used to sum the elements in a list. (reduce '+ '(1 2 3 4)) ;;=> 10 By default, reduce performs a left-associative reduction, meaning that the sum 10 is computed as (+ (+ (+ 1 2) 3) 4) The first two elements are summed first, and then that result (3) is added to...

Common Lisp already has a reverse function, but if it didn't, then it could be implemented easily using reduce. Given a list like (1 2 3) === (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 '()))) the reversed list is (cons 3 (cons 2 (cons 1 '()))) === (3 2 1) That may not be an obvious use of reduce, but if we ha...
