Check if a string matches a regular expression

3.0 Check if a string consists in exactly 8 digits: $ date=20150624 $ [[ $date =~ ^[0-9]{8}$ ]] && echo "yes" || echo "no" yes $ date=hello $ [[ $date =~ ^[0-9]{8}$ ]] && echo "yes" || echo "no" no

Basic For Comprehension

This demonstrates a filter on a for-loop, and the use of yield to create a 'sequence comprehension': for ( x <- 1 to 10 if x % 2 == 0) yield x The output for this is: scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[Int] = Vector(2, 4, 6, 8, 10) A for comprehension is useful when you need to crea...

Interactive interpreter variables

Note that these only work in the developer tools of certain browsers. $_ gives you the value of whatever expression was evaluated last. "foo" // "foo" $_ // "foo" $0 refers to the DOM element currently selected in the Inspector. So if &l...

Angular expressions - Text vs. Number

This example demonstrates how Angular expressions are evaluated when using type="text" and type="number" for the input element. Consider the following controller and view: Controller var app = angular.module('app', []); app.controller('ctrl', function($scope) { $sco...

Negate a Bool with the prefix ! operator

The prefix ! operator returns the logical negation of its argument. That is, !true returns false, and !false returns true. print(!true) // prints "false" print(!false) // prints "true" func test(_ someBoolean: Bool) { if !someBoolean { print("someBoolean ...

Lambdas can be emitted both as `Func` and `Expression`

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...

List Comprehensions with Nested Loops

List Comprehensions can use nested for loops. You can code any number of nested for loops within a list comprehension, and each for loop may have an optional associated if test. When doing so, the order of the for constructs is the same order as when writing a series of nested for statements. The ge...

Object rest/spread (...)

7 Object spreading is just syntactic sugar for Object.assign({}, obj1, ..., objn); It is done with the ... operator: let obj = { a: 1 }; let obj2 = { ...obj, b: 2, c: 3 }; console.log(obj2); // { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }; As Object.assign it does shallow merging, not deep merging. let obj3 = ...

Preventing SQL injection with Parameterized Queries

SQL injection is a kind of attack that allows a malicious user to modify the SQL query, adding unwanted commands to it. For example, the following code is vulnerable: // Do not use this vulnerable code! $sql = 'SELECT name, email, user_level FROM users WHERE userID = ' . $_GET['user']; $conn->...

Monadic for comprehensions

If you have several objects of monadic types, we can achieve combinations of the values using a 'for comprehension': for { x <- Option(1) y <- Option("b") z <- List(3, 4) } { // Now we can use the x, y, z variables println(x, y, z) x // the last expre...

Retrieve all stored entries from a particular SharedPreferences file

The getAll() method retrieves all values from the preferences. We can use it, for instance, to log the current content of the SharedPreferences: private static final String PREFS_FILE = "MyPrefs"; public static void logSharedPreferences(final Context context) { SharedPreferences s...

String matching with regular expressions

preg_match checks whether a string matches the regular expression. $string = 'This is a string which contains numbers: 12345'; $isMatched = preg_match('%^[a-zA-Z]+: [0-9]+$%', $string); var_dump($isMatched); // bool(true) If you pass in a third parameter, it will be populated with the matchi...
