function waitFunc(){ console.log("This will be logged every 5 seconds"); } window.setInterval(waitFunc,5000);

window.setInterval() returns an IntervalID, which can be used to stop that interval from continuing to run. To do this, store the return value of window.setInterval() in a variable and call clearInterval() with that variable as the only argument: function waitFunc(){ console.log("This wil...

window.setTimout() returns a TimeoutID, which can be used to stop that timeout from running. To do this, store the return value of window.setTimeout() in a variable and call clearTimeout() with that variable as the only argument: function waitFunc(){ console.log("This will not be logged a...

git merge incomingBranch This merges the branch incomingBranch into the branch you are currently in. For example, if you are currently in master, then incomingBranch will be merged into master. Merging can create conflicts in some cases. If this happens, you will see the message Automatic merge ...

A generator function is created with a function* declaration. When it is called, its body is not immediately executed. Instead, it returns a generator object, which can be used to "step through" the function's execution. A yield expression inside the function body defines a point at which...

Functions in Swift may return values, throw errors, or both: func reticulateSplines() // no return value and no error func reticulateSplines() -> Int // always returns a value func reticulateSplines() throws // no return value, but may throw an error func reticulat...

Array is an ordered collection type in the Swift standard library. It provides O(1) random access and dynamic reallocation. Array is a generic type, so the type of values it contains are known at compile time. As Array is a value type, its mutability is defined by whether it is annotated as a var (...

The following examples will use this array to demonstrate accessing values var exampleArray:[Int] = [1,2,3,4,5] //exampleArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] To access a value at a known index use the following syntax: let exampleOne = exampleArray[2] //exampleOne = 3 Note: The value at index two is th...

A generator is iterable. It can be looped over with a for...of statement, and used in other constructs which depend on the iteration protocol. function* range(n) { for (let i = 0; i < n; ++i) { yield i; } } // looping for (let n of range(10)) { // n takes on the valu...

It is possible to send a value to the generator by passing it to the next() method. function* summer() { let sum = 0, value; while (true) { // receive sent value value = yield; if (value === null) break; // aggregate values sum += value; ...

A string in PHP is a series of single-byte characters (i.e. there is no native Unicode support) that can be specified in four ways: Single Quoted Displays things almost completely "as is". Variables and most escape sequences will not be interpreted. The exception is that to display a lit...

There are multiple ways to append values onto an array var exampleArray = [1,2,3,4,5] exampleArray.append(6) //exampleArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] var sixOnwards = [7,8,9,10] exampleArray += sixOnwards //exampleArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] and remove values from an array exampleAr...

Since PHP 5.0, PDO has been available as a database access layer. It is database agnostic, and so the following connection example code should work for any of its supported databases simply by changing the DSN. // First, create the database handle //Using MySQL (connection via local socket): $d...

Definition: In computing, an event is an action or occurrence recognized by software that may be handled by the software. Computer events can be generated or triggered by the system, by the user or in other ways. Definition Source HTML events are "things" that happen to HTML ele...

The removeEventListener() method removes event handlers that have been attached with the addEventListener() method: element.removeEventListener("mousemove", myFunction); Everything (eventname, function, and options) in the removeEventListener must match the one set when adding the even...

One of the most commonly used events is waiting for the document to have loaded, including both script files and images. The load event on document is used for this. document.addEventListener('load', function() { console.log("Everything has now loaded!"); }); Sometimes you try to ...

A hash in Ruby is an object that implements a hash table, mapping keys to values. Ruby supports a specific literal syntax for defining hashes using {}: my_hash = {} # an empty hash grades = { 'Mark' => 15, 'Jimmy' => 10, 'Jack' => 10 } A hash can also be created using the standard new...

A quick way to make a copy of an array (as opposed to assigning a variable with another reference to the original array) is: arr[:] Let's examine the syntax. [:] means that start, end, and slice are all omitted. They default to 0, len(arr), and 1, respectively, meaning that subarray that we are ...

You can use slices to very easily reverse a str, list, or tuple (or basically any collection object that implements slicing with the step parameter). Here is an example of reversing a string, although this applies equally to the other types listed above: s = 'reverse me!' s[::-1] # '!em esrever...

When the commits on two branches don't conflict, Git can automatically merge them: ~/Stack Overflow(branch:master) » git merge another_branch Auto-merging file_a Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy. file_a | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
