Before C++17, a function typically represented failure in one of several ways: A null pointer was returned. e.g. Calling a function Delegate *App::get_delegate() on an App instance that did not have a delegate would return nullptr. This is a good solution for objects that have been dynamicall...

In most examples, the class naming convention is used to define an Aurelia Custom Element. However, Aurelia also provides a decorator that can be used to decorate a class. The class is again treated as a custom element by Aurelia then. The value supplied to the decorator becomes the name of the cus...

Usually data sent in a POST request is structured key/value pairs with a MIME type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded. However many applications such as web services require raw data, often in XML or JSON format, to be sent instead. This data can be read using one of two methods. php://input is a...

This illustrates that union members shares memory and that struct members does not share memory. #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> union My_Union { int variable_1; int variable_2; }; struct My_Struct { int variable_1; int variable_2; }; int main (void) { ...

Some C implementations permit code to write to one member of a union type then read from another in order to perform a sort of reinterpreting cast (parsing the new type as the bit representation of the old one). It is important to note however, this is not permitted by the C standard current or pas...

You can declare multiple constants within the same const block: const ( Alpha = "alpha" Beta = "beta" Gamma = "gamma" ) And automatically increment constants with the iota keyword: const ( Zero = iota // Zero == 0 One // One == 1...

Assert.That(actual, Is.EqualTo(expected));

Large fluent assertions do become harder to read, but when combined with classes that have good implementations of ToString(), they can generate very useful error messages. [Test] public void AdvancedContraintsGiveUsefulErrorMessages() { Assert.That(actualCollection, Has .Count.Equa...

Invoking a function as an anonymous function, this will be the global object (self in the browser). function func() { return this; } func() === window; // true 5 In ECMAScript 5's strict mode, this will be undefined if the function is invoked anonymously. (function () { "use...

When a function is invoked as a constructor with the new keyword this takes the value of the object being constructed function Obj(name) { this.name = name; } var obj = new Obj("Foo"); console.log(obj); This will log { name: "Foo" }

The apply and call methods in every function allow it to provide a custom value for this. function print() { console.log(this.toPrint); } print.apply({ toPrint: "Foo" }); // >> "Foo" print.call({ toPrint: "Foo" }); // >> "Foo" You mig...

Normally your tests should be created in such a way that execution order is no concern. However there is always going to be an edge case were you need to break that rule. The one scenario I came across was with R.NET whereby in a given process you can only initialize one R Engine and once disposed ...

let sel = document.getSelection(); sel.removeAllRanges();

let sel = document.getSelection(); let myNode = document.getElementById('element-to-select'); let range = document.createRange(); range.selectNodeContents(myNode); sel.addRange(range); It may be necessary to first remove all the ranges of the previous selection, as most browsers don't s...

let sel = document.getSelection(); let text = sel.toString(); console.log(text); // logs what the user selected Alternatively, since the toString member function is called automatically by some functions when converting the object to a string, you don't always have to call it yourself. console...

To create a custom template we first need to create php file in a theme directory. You can name it almost any way you want. For this example we will create example.php One and only thing we need to define inside our example.php, to be recognized by WordPress as a template, is template name. We do t...

We will further extend our template and include title of the page and a content <?php /* Template Name: Example */ get_header(); the_title(); the_content(); get_footer(); And if you want you can wrap them with HTML elements like this <?php /* Template Name: Example *...

If we have a struct like this struct Box { let name: String let thingsInside: Int } and an array of Box(es) let boxes = [ Box(name: "Box 0", thingsInside: 1), Box(name: "Box 1", thingsInside: 2), Box(name: "Box 2", thingsInside: 3), B...

The function keyword automatically has pattern matching when you define the body of your function. Observe it below: # let foo = function 0 -> "zero" | 1 -> "one" | 2 -> "couple" | 3 -> "few" | _ -> "many";; val foo : int -&gt...

Classes, structures, and enumerations can define subscripts, which are shortcuts for accessing the member elements of a collection, list, or sequence. Example struct DaysOfWeek { var days = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri"...
