Use the --number flag to print line numbers before each line. Alternatively, -n does the same thing. $ cat --number file 1 line 1 2 line 2 3 4 line 4 5 line 5 To skip empty lines when counting lines, use the --number-nonblank, or simply -b. $ cat -b file 1 line 1 2 line ...

This is how to send an SMS text message from a US number using Twilio's Node.js SDK. First you need to install the Node.js client using: npm install twilio Then, you have to create an account on their website. Once you have an account, you'll need the account SID and auth token that you can fi...

int a; printf("%d", a); The variable a is an int with automatic storage duration. The example code above is trying to print the value of an uninitialized variable (a was never initialized). Automatic variables which are not initialized have indeterminate values; accessing these can le...

Consider the below list comprehension: >>> def f(x): ... import time ... time.sleep(.1) # Simulate expensive function ... return x**2 >>> [f(x) for x in range(1000) if f(x) > 10] [16, 25, 36, ...] This results in two calls to f(x) for 1,000 values of...

Undoing a merge not yet pushed to a remote If you haven't yet pushed your merge to the remote repository then you can follow the same procedure as in undo the commit although there are some subtle differences. A reset is the simplest option as it will undo both the merge commit and any commits add...

Data Manipulation Language (DML for short) includes operations such as INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE: -- Create a table HelloWorld CREATE TABLE HelloWorld ( Id INT IDENTITY, Description VARCHAR(1000) ) -- DML Operation INSERT, inserting a row into the table INSERT INTO HelloWorld (D...

do './config.pl'; This will read in the contents of the config.pl file and execute it. (See also: perldoc -f do.) N.B.: Avoid do unless golfing or something as there is no error checking. For including library modules, use require or use.

require Exporter; This will ensure that the Exporter module is loaded at runtime if it hasn't already been imported. (See also: perldoc -f require.) N.B.: Most users should use modules rather than require them. Unlike use, require does not call the module's import method and is executed at runti...

use Cwd; This will import the Cwd module at compile time and import its default symbols, i.e. make some of the module's variables and functions available to the code using it. (See also: perldoc -f use.) Generally this is will do the right thing. Sometimes, however, you will want to control whic...

To conditionally include a block of code, the preprocessor has several directives (e.g #if, #ifdef, #else, #endif, etc). /* Defines a conditional `printf` macro, which only prints if `DEBUG` * has been defined */ #ifdef DEBUG #define DLOG(x) (printf(x)) #else #define DLOG(x) #endif Norm...

The most common uses of #include preprocessing directives are as in the following: #include <stdio.h> #include "myheader.h" #include replaces the statement with the contents of the file referred to. Angle brackets (<>) refer to header files installed on the system, while q...

Swift's built-in numeric types are: Word-sized (architecture-dependent) signed Int and unsigned UInt. Fixed-size signed integers Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64, and unsigned integers UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64. Floating-point types Float32/Float, Float64/Double, and Float80 (x86-only). Literal...

func doSomething1(value: Double) { /* ... */ } func doSomething2(value: UInt) { /* ... */ } let x = 42 // x is an Int doSomething1(Double(x)) // convert x to a Double doSomething2(UInt(x)) // convert x to a UInt Integer initializers produce a runtime error if the value ove...

Use String initializers for converting numbers into strings: String(1635999) // returns "1635999" String(1635999, radix: 10) // returns "1635999" String(1635999, radix: 2) // returns "110001111011010011111&...

Indexes can have several characteristics that can be set either at creation, or by altering existing indexes. CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX ix_clust_employee_id ON Employees(EmployeeId, Email); The above SQL statement creates a new clustered index on Employees. Clustered indexes are indexes that dict...
