In Julia, you can have an Array that holds other Array type objects. Consider the following examples of initializing various types of Arrays: A = Array{Float64}(10,10) # A single Array, dimensions 10 by 10, of Float64 type objects B = Array{Array}(10,10,10) # A 10 by 10 by 10 Array. Each ele...

In Julia, as in many other languages, it is possible to interpolate by inserting values defined by variables into strings. For a simple example: n = 2 julia> MyString = "there are $n ducks" "there are 2 ducks" We can use other types than numeric, e.g. Result = false j...

If you have void F1(MyType1 x) { // do something } void F1(MyType2 x) { // do something else } and for some reason you need to call the first overload of F1 but with x = null, then doing simply F1(null); will not compile as the call is ambiguous. To counter this you can do F1...

The Deque is the only Python data structure with fast Queue operations. (Note queue.Queue isn't normally suitable, since it's meant for communication between threads.) A basic use case of a Queue is the breadth first search. from collections import deque def bfs(graph, root): distances = {}...

Postscript is a dynamic-namespacing or LISP 1 language. But it provides the tools to implement local variables in procedures and other effects needed to implement algorithms. For local names in a procedure, make a new dictionary at the start and pop it at the end. /myproc { 10 dict begin ...
