Deferred function calls serve a similar purpose to things like finally blocks in languages like Java: they ensure that some function will be executed when the outer function returns, regardless of if an error occurred or which return statement was hit in cases with multiple returns. This is useful f...

Menu items are a great way of adding custom actions to the editor. You can add menu items to the menu bar, have them as context-clicks on specific components, or even as context-clicks on fields in your scripts.

The following design pattern is categorized as a creational pattern. An abstract factory is used to provide an interface for creating families of related objects, without specifying concrete classes and can be used to hide platform specific classes. interface Tool { void use(); } interf...

pacman is a simple package manager for R. pacman allows a user to compactly load all desired packages, installing any which are missing (and their dependencies), with a single command, p_load. pacman does not require the user to type quotation marks around a package name. Basic usage is as follows:...

Not always we have liberty to read from or write to a local system path. For example if R code streaming map-reduce must need to read and write to file connection. There can be other scenarios as well where one is going beyond local system and with advent of cloud and big data, this is becoming incr...

C++11 It's possible to write a generic function (for example min) which accepts various numerical types and arbitrary argument count by template meta-programming. This function declares a min for two arguments and recursively for more. template <typename T1, typename T2> auto min(const T1 &...

std::function can cause significant overhead. Because std::function has [value semantics][1], it must copy or move the given callable into itself. But since it can take callables of an arbitrary type, it will frequently have to allocate memory dynamically to do this. Some function implementations h...

A variable can be downcasted to a subtype using the type cast operators as?, and as!. The as? operator attempts to cast to a subtype. It can fail, therefore it returns an optional. let value: Any = "John" let name = value as? String print(name) // prints Optional("John") ...

The switch statement can also be used to attempt casting into different types: func checkType(_ value: Any) -> String { switch value { // The `is` operator can be used to check a type case is Double: return "value is a Double" // The `as` operator will ...
