Multi-line code comments are wrapped in /* ... */: /* This query returns all employees */ SELECT * FROM Employees It is also possible to insert such a comment into the middle of a line: SELECT /* all columns: */ * FROM Employees

CHICKEN is a Scheme interpreter and compiler with its own extension module system called "eggs". It is capable of compiling Scheme to native code by first compiling Scheme to C. Installing Debian or Ubuntu or other derived distros: sudo apt-get install chicken-bin Fedora / RHEL / Ce...

If you want to get rid of the username field and use email as unique user identifier, you will have to create a custom User model extending AbstractBaseUser instead of AbstractUser. Indeed, username and email are defined in AbstractUser and you can't override them. This means you will also have to r...

C# has several operators that can be combined with an = sign to evaluate the result of the operator and then assign the result to the original variable. Example: x += y is the same as x = x + y Assignment operators: += -= *= /= %= &= |= ^= <<= >>=

> ourList = [1,2,3,4,5] [1,2,3,4,5] : List number > > firstElement = List.head ourList Just 1 : Maybe Int > > allButFirst = List.tail ourList Just [2,3,4,5] : Maybe (List Int) This wrapping into Maybe type happens because of the following scenario: What should List.head ret...

List.map : (a -> b) -> List a -> List b is a higher-order function that applies a one-parameter function to each element of a list, returning a new list with the modified values. import String ourList : List String ourList = ["wubba", "lubba", "dub",...

def numberOrCharacterSwitch(toggleNumber: Boolean)(number: Int)(character: Char): String = if (toggleNumber) number.toString else character.toString // need to explicitly specify the type of the parameter to be curried // resulting function signature Boolean => String val switchBetween3A...

def minus(left: Int, right: Int) = left - right val numberMinus5 = minus(_: Int, 5) val fiveMinusNumber = minus(5, _: Int) numberMinus5(7) // 2 fiveMinusNumber(7) // -2

The Scala compiler will automatically convert methods into function values for the purpose of passing them into higher-order functions. object MyObject { def mapMethod(input: Int): String = { int.toString } } Seq(1, 2, 3).map(MyObject.mapMethod) // Seq("1", "2", &...

Java doesn't provide a direct method in java.util.Arrays to remove an element from an array. To perform it, you can either copy the original array to a new one without the element to remove or convert your array to another structure allowing the removal. Using ArrayList You can convert the array t...

The following is a timer that fires at a fixed interval. It's timeout is defined by Period and it invokes a callback defined by Timerfcn upon timeout. t = timer; t.TasksToExecute = Inf; t.Period = 0.01; % timeout value in seconds t.TimerFcn = @(myTimerObj, thisEvent)disp('hello'); % timer callba...

// Obtain an instance of JavaScript engine ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager(); ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript"); //String to be evaluated String str = "3+2*4+5"; //Value after doing Arithmetic operation with operator preceden...

To perform actions in Django using commandline or other services (where the user/request is not used), you can use the management commands. Django modules can be imported as needed. For each command a separate file needs to be created: myapp/management/commands/my_command.py (The management and...

Delegates can be used as typed function pointers: class FuncAsParameters { public void Run() { DoSomething(ErrorHandler1); DoSomething(ErrorHandler2); } public bool ErrorHandler1(string message) { Console.WriteLine(message); var shouldWeContinue = ... re...

This is an example of a function which returns a string. In the example, the function is called in a statement assigning a value to a variable. The value in this case is the return value of the function. function Get-Greeting{ "Hello World" } # Invoking the function $greeting ...

A function can be defined with parameters using the param block: function Write-Greeting { param( [Parameter(Mandatory,Position=0)] [String]$name, [Parameter(Mandatory,Position=1)] [Int]$age ) "Hello $name, you are $age years old." } ...

Parameters to a function can be marked as mandatory function Get-Greeting{ param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$name ) "Hello World $name" } If the function is invoked without a value, the command line will prompt for the value: $greeting = Get-Greeting ...

If the user authorizes your application, they will be redirected to the following URL: https://[your registered redirect URI]/#access_token=[an access token] &scope=[authorized scopes] Note that the access token is in the URL fragment and not the query string. This means the value w...

Subsetting a data frame into a smaller data frame can be accomplished the same as subsetting a list. > df3 <- data.frame(x = 1:3, y = c("a", "b", "c"), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) > df3 ## x y ## 1 1 a ## 2 2 b ## 3 3 c > df3[1] # Subset a varia...

$a = "some string"; results in $a having the value some string. The result of an assignment expression is the value being assigned. Note that a single equal sign = is NOT for comparison! $a = 3; $b = ($a = 5); does the following: Line 1 assigns 3 to $a. Line 2 assigns 5 to $a....
