PHP is a loosely typed language. This means that, by default, it doesn't require operands in an expression to be of the same (or compatible) types. For example, you can append a number to a string and expect it to work. var_dump ("This is example number " . 1); The output will be: ...

Switch statements use non-strict comparison to determine matches. This can lead to some nasty surprises. For example, consider the following statement: switch ($name) { case 'input 1': $mode = 'output_1'; break; case 'input 2': $mode = 'output_2'; bre...

Haskell has list comprehensions, which are a lot like set comprehensions in math and similar implementations in imperative languages such as Python and JavaScript. At their most basic, list comprehensions take the following form. [ x | x <- someList ] For example [ x | x <- [1..4] ] -...

package main import ( "fmt" "io/ioutil" ) func main() { files, err := ioutil.ReadDir(".") if err != nil { panic(err) } fmt.Println("Folders in the current directory:") for _, fileInfo := range files { ...

enable_shared_from_this enables you to get a valid shared_ptr instance to this. By deriving your class from the class template enable_shared_from_this, you inherit a method shared_from_this that returns a shared_ptr instance to this. Note that the object must be created as a shared_ptr in first pl...

let sel = document.getSelection(); sel.removeAllRanges();

If targeting Flash Player 11+, the built-in removeChildren method is the best way to remove all children: removeChildren(); //a start and end index can be passed For legacy applications, the same can be accomplished with a loop: while (numChildren > 0) { removeChildAt(0); }

The List.fold_left and List.fold_right functions are higher-order functions that implement the outer logic of list aggregation. Aggregating a list, sometimes also referred to as reducing a list, means computing a value derived from the sequential inspection of all items in that list. The documenta...

In Elm, reducing functions are called "folds", and there are two standard methods to "fold" values up: from the left, foldl, and from the right, foldr. > List.foldl (+) 0 [1,2,3] 6 : number The arguments to foldl and foldr are: reducing function: newValue -> accumul...

A helper function to create a bitmap copy of an object. This can be used to convert vector objects, text or complex nested Sprite's to a flattened bitmap. function makeBitmapCopy(displayObj:IBitmapDrawable, transparent:Boolean = false, bgColor:uint = 0x00000000, smooth:Boolean = true):Bitmap { ...

It is also possible to create archives of other items than HEAD, such as branches, commits, tags, and directories. To create an archive of a local branch dev: git archive --output=archive-dev.zip --prefix=src-directory-name dev To create an archive of a remote branch origin/dev: git archive --...

Sometimes it might be necessary to manually promisify a callback function. This could be for a case where the callback does not follow the standard error-first format or if additional logic is needed to promisify: Example with fs.exists(path, callback): var fs = require('fs'); var existsAsync =...

Screen shot: Option 1 (pure adb) The shell adb command allows us to execute commands using a device's built-in shell. The screencap shell command captures the content currently visible on a device and saves it into a given image file, e.g. /sdcard/screen.png: adb shell screencap /sdcard/screen.png...

4.4 Recording the display of devices running Android 4.4 (API level 19) and higher: adb shell screenrecord [options] <filename> adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/demo.mp4 (press Ctrl-C to stop recording) Download the file from the device: adb pull /sdcard/demo.mp4 Note: Stop the scre...

Picasso.with(context) .load(uri) .networkPolicy(NetworkPolicy.NO_CACHE) .memoryPolicy(MemoryPolicy.NO_CACHE) .placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder) .into(imageView);

added in GHC 7.8. OverloadedLists, similar to OverloadedStrings, allows list literals to be desugared as follows: [] -- fromListN 0 [] [x] -- fromListN 1 (x : []) [x .. ] -- fromList (enumFrom x) This comes handy when dealing with types such as Set, Vector and Maps. ['0'...

GCD will guarantee that your singleton only gets instantiated once, even if called from multiple threads. Insert this into any class for a singleton instance called shared. + (instancetype)shared { // Variable that will point to the singleton instance. The `static` // modifier makes it ...

The Java language provides 4 operators that perform bitwise or logical operations on integer or boolean operands. The complement (~) operator is a unary operator that performs a bitwise or logical inversion of the bits of one operand; see JLS 15.15.5.. The AND (&) operator is a binary operat...

The following example can be tested on https://ellie-app.com/m9tk39VpQg/0. import Html exposing (..) import Json.Decode payload = """ ["fu", "bar"] """ main = Json.Decode.decodeString decoder payload -- Ok ["fu","b...

To check if a given value exists in a set, use .has() method: mySet.has(someVal); Will return true if someVal appears in the set, false otherwise.
