Object initializers are the only way to initialize anonymous types, which are types generated by the compiler. var album = new { Band = "Beatles", Title = "Abbey Road" }; For that reason object initializers are widely used in LINQ select queries, since they provide a convenie...

The (?(DEFINE)...) construct lets you define subpatterns you may reference later through recursion. When encountered in the pattern it will not be matched against. This group should contain named subpattern definitions, which will be accessible only through recursion. You can define grammars this w...

Documentation comments are placed directly above the method or class they describe. They begin with three forward slashes ///, and allow meta information to be stored via XML. /// <summary> /// Bar method description /// </summary> public void Bar() { } Information in...

You can create a horizontal break to divide your text by placing three (or more) underscores ___ or asterisks *** or hyphens --- on their own line. You can create a horizontal break to divide your text by placing three (or more) underscores or asterisks or hyphens o...

In a normal string, the backslash character is the escape character, which instructs the compiler to look at the next character(s) to determine the actual character in the string. (Full list of character escapes) In verbatim strings, there are no character escapes (except for "" which is ...

In functions taking callable as an argument, you can also put a string with PHP built-in function. It's common to use trim as array_map parameter to remove leading and trailing whitespace from all strings in the array. $arr = [' one ', 'two ', ' three']; var_dump(array_map('trim', $arr)); ...

BuildConfigField Gradle allows buildConfigField lines to define constants. These constants will be accessible at runtime as static fields of the BuildConfig class. This can be used to create flavors by defining all fields within the defaultConfig block, then overriding them for individual build fla...

# Create the nodes # In a real world scenario we would use at least 3 managers to cover the fail of one manager. docker-machine create -d virtualbox manager docker-machine create -d virtualbox worker1 # Create the swarm # It is possible to define a port for the *advertise-addr* and *listen-ad...

MATLAB supports (and encourages) vectorized operations on vectors and matrices. For example, suppose we have A and B, two n-by-m matrices and we want C to be the element-wise product of the corresponding elements (i.e., C(i,j) = A(i,j)*B(i,j)). The un-vectorized way, using nested loops is as follo...

Assuming the following Person class: public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } The following lambda: p => p.Age > 18 Can be passed as an argument to both methods: public void AsFunc(Func<Person, bool> func) public void AsE...

You can combine object initializers with constructors to initialize types if necessary. Take for example a class defined as such: public class Book { public string Title { get; set; } public string Author { get; set; } public Book(int id) { //do things } // the...

The function strtok breaks a string into a smaller strings, or tokens, using a set of delimiters. #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { int toknum = 0; char src[] = "Hello,, world!"; const char delimiters[] = ", !"; char *to...

The standard (section 23.3.7) specifies that a specialization of vector<bool> is provided, which optimizes space by packing the bool values, so that each takes up only one bit. Since bits aren't addressable in C++, this means that several requirements on vector are not placed on vector<bool...

When the following is compiled, it will return a different value depending on which directives are defined. // Compile with /d:A or /d:B to see the difference string SomeFunction() { #if A return "A"; #elif B return "B"; #else return "C"; #endif ...

Use #region and #endregion to define a collapsible code region. #region Event Handlers public void Button_Click(object s, EventArgs e) { // ... } public void DropDown_SelectedIndexChanged(object s, EventArgs e) { // ... } #endregion These directives are only beneficial whe...

Line #line controls the line number and filename reported by the compiler when outputting warnings and errors. void Test() { #line 42 "Answer" #line filename "SomeFile.cs" int life; // compiler warning CS0168 in "SomeFile.cs" at Line 42 #line defa...

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> @interface Car:NSObject { NSString *CarMotorCode; NSString *CarChassisCode; } - (instancetype)initWithMotorValue:(NSString *) motorCode andChassisValue:(NSInteger)chassisCode; - (void) startCar; - (void) stopCar; @end @implementation Car...

Background TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles directly to JavaScript code. TypeScript files commonly use the .ts extension. Many IDEs support TypeScript without any other setup required, but TypeScript can also be compiled with the TypeScript Node.JS package from the command...

Since anonymous types are not named, variables of those types must be implicitly typed (var). var anon = new { Foo = 1, Bar = 2 }; // anon.Foo == 1 // anon.Bar == 2 If the member names are not specified, they are set to the name of the property/variable used to initialize the object. int foo ...

Anonymous types allow the creation of objects without having to explicitly define their types ahead of time, while maintaining static type checking. var anon = new { Value = 1 }; Console.WriteLine(anon.Id); // compile time error Conversely, dynamic has dynamic type checking, opting for runtime ...
