traverse_ executes an Applicative action for every element in a Foldable structure. It ignores the action's result, keeping only the side-effects. (For a version which doesn't discard results, use Traversable.) -- using the Writer applicative functor (and the Sum monoid) ghci> runWriter $ trave...

The ternary operator is used for inline conditional expressions. It is best used in simple, concise operations that are easily read. The order of the arguments is different from many other languages (such as C, Ruby, Java, etc.), which may lead to bugs when people unfamiliar with Python's "s...

Lens operators have useful variants that operate in stateful contexts. They are obtained by replacing ~ with = in the operator name. (+~) :: Num a => ASetter s t a a -> a -> s -> t (+=) :: (MonadState s m, Num a) => ASetter' s a -> a -> m () Note: The stateful variants ar...

Here is some sample XML against which example XPaths can be written: <r> <e a="1"/> <f a="2" b="1">Text 1</f> <f/> <g> <i c="2">Text 2</i> Text 3 <j>Text 4</j> </g&gt...

For the sample XML (without namespaces): This XPath, /r/f/text() will select the text node with this string value: "Text 1" And this XPath, string(/r/f) will return the string value of f, which is also: "Text 1"

For the sample XML (without namespaces): This XPath, /r/e will select this element: <e a="1"/>

Use of global variables is generally discouraged. It makes your program more difficult to understand, and harder to debug. But sometimes using a global variable is acceptable. global.h #ifndef GLOBAL_DOT_H /* This is an "include guard" */ #define GLOBAL_DOT_H /** * This tells ...

While static constructors are always called before the first usage of a type it's sometimes useful to be able to force them to be called and the RuntimeHelpers class provide an helper for it: using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; // ... RuntimeHelpers.RunClassConstructor(typeof(Foo).TypeHand...

What is a Singleton Class? A singleton class returns the same instance no matter how many times an application requests it. Unlike a regular class, A singleton object provides a global point of access to the resources of its class. When to Use Singleton Classes? Singletons are used in situations ...

A common pattern in C, to easily imitate returning multiple values from a function, is to use pointers. #include <stdio.h> void Get( int* c , double* d ) { *c = 72; *d = 175.0; } int main(void) { int a = 0; double b = 0.0; Get( &a , &b ); pr...

Multiple inheritance is a feature that allows one class to inherit from multiple classes(i.e., more than one parent). Ruby does not support multiple inheritance. It only supports single-inheritance (i.e. class can have only one parent), but you can use composition to build more complex classes using...

${#array[@]} gives the length of the array ${array[@]}: array=('first element' 'second element' 'third element') echo "${#array[@]}" # gives out a length of 3 This works also with Strings in single elements: echo "${#array[0]}" # gives out the lenght of the string at ele...
