Check if a path is a directory or a file The is_dir function returns whether the argument is a directory, while is_file returns whether the argument is a file. Use file_exists to check if it is either. $dir = "/this/is/a/directory"; $file = "/this/is/a/file.txt"; echo is_d...

The Common Lisp Quick Reference is a document which can be printed and bound as a booklet in various layouts to have a printed quick reference for Common Lisp.

Unlike many other languages, Perl does not have constructors that allocate memory for your objects. Instead, one should write a class method that both create a data structure and populate it with data (you may know it as the Factory Method design pattern). package Point; use strict; sub new { ...

To make a class a subclass of another class, use parent pragma: package Point; use strict; ... 1; package Point2D; use strict; use parent qw(Point); ... 1; package Point3D; use strict; use parent qw(Point); ... 1; Perl allows for multiple inheritance: package Point2D; use stri...

In Perl, the difference between class (static) and object (instance) methods is not so strong as in some other languages, but it still exists. The left operand of the arrow operator -> becomes the first argument of the method to be called. It may be either a string: # the first argument of new ...

To get the previous element you can use the .prev() method. <ul> <li>Mark</li> <li class="anna">Anna</li> <li>Paul</li> </ul> If you are standing on the "Anna" element and you want to get the previous element, &q...

To filter a selection you can use the .filter() method. The method is called on a selection and returns a new selection. If the filter matches an element then it is added to the returned selection, otherwise it is ignored. If no element is matched then an empty selection is returned. The HTML Thi...

Until Java 8, two instances of the same annotation could not be applied to a single element. The standard workaround was to use a container annotation holding an array of some other annotation: // Author.java @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) public @interface Author { String value(); } ...

This will create a composite index of both keys, mystring and mydatetime and speed up queries with both columns in the WHERE clause. CREATE INDEX idx_mycol_myothercol ON my_table(mycol, myothercol) Note: The order is important! If the search query does not include both columns in the WHERE claus...

On Debian-based distributions, including Ubuntu, the most straightforward way is to use the .deb installation file. Go to the Scala website. Choose the version you want to install then scroll down and look for scala-x.x.x.deb. You can install the scala deb from command line: sudo dpkg -i scala-x.x...

Most developers encounter backpressure when their application fails with MissingBackpressureException and the exception usually points to the observeOn operator. The actual cause is usually the non-backpressured use of PublishSubject, timer() or interval() or custom operators created via create(). ...

In this case, "monkey patching" means adding a new variable or method to a class after it's been defined. For instance, say we defined class A as class A(object): def __init__(self, num): self.num = num def __add__(self, other): return A(self.num + other.num)...

Collections in Java only work for objects. I.e. there is no Map<int, int> in Java. Instead, primitive values need to be boxed into objects, as in Map<Integer, Integer>. Java auto-boxing will enable transparent use of these collections: Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<&g...

public static class ArrayHelpers { public static bool Contains<T>(this T[] array, T[] candidate) { if (IsEmptyLocate(array, candidate)) return false; if (candidate.Length > array.Length) return false; for (int a = 0; a <...

redis-cli is the Redis command line interface program that allows to send commands to Redis and read the replies sent by the server, directly from the terminal. Basic command line usage is below: Access to redis: $ redis-cli 127.0.0.1:6379> Access to redis with authentication: $ redis-cli ...

The trim() method returns a new String with the leading and trailing whitespace removed. String s = new String(" Hello World!! "); String t = s.trim(); // t = "Hello World!!" If you trim a String that doesn't have any whitespace to remove, you will be returned the same S...

If efficiency is important, a fast way to iterate over pixels in a cv::Mat object is to use its ptr<T>(int r) method to obtain a pointer to the beginning of row r (0-based index). According to the matrix type, the pointer will have a different template. For CV_8UC1: uchar* ptr = image.ptr&...

To use Cython two things are needed.The Cython package itself, which contains the cython source-to-source compiler and Cython interfaces to several C and Python libraries (for example numpy). To compile the C code generated by the cython compiler, a C compiler is needed. Step 1: Installing Cython ...

By default, most of the information is hidden from the user. You can use -v switches to get a verbose log of the connection attempt, which will usually pinpoint the problem by showing why the behavior is different than you expect. Let's assume you are connecting to the server example.com using ssh ...
