Polymorphism is the ability to perform an action on an object regardless of its type. This is generally implemented by creating a base class and having two or more subclasses that all implement methods with the same signature. Any other function or method that manipulates these objects can call the ...

YAML provides a way to store structured data. The data can be a simple set of name-value pairs or a complex hierarchical data with values even being arrays. Consider the following YAML file: database: driver: mysql host: database.mydomain.com port: 3306 db_name: sample_db ...

From lists def lst = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'] // for each entry return a list containing [key, value] lst.collectEntries { [it, it.toUpperCase()] } // [foo: FOO, bar: BAR, baz: BAZ] // another option, return a map containing the single entry lst.collectEntries { [(it): it.toUpperCase()] } // [...

Apply the transformation to non-collection entries, delving into nested collections too and preserving the whole structure. def lst = ['foo', 'bar', ['inner_foo', 'inner_bar']] lst.collectNested { it.toUpperCase() } // [FOO, BAR, [INNER_FOO, INNER_BAR]]

def lst = ['foo', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz'] // *modifies* the list removing duplicate items lst.unique() // [foo, bar, baz] // setting to false the "mutate" argument returns a new list, leaving the original intact lst.unique(false) // [foo, bar, baz] // convert the list to a Set, thu...

# operator or stringizing operator is used to convert a Macro parameter to a string literal. It can only be used with the Macros having arguments. // preprocessor will convert the parameter x to the string literal x #define PRINT(x) printf(#x "\n") PRINT(This line will be converted to...

This is an example on how to use React Native's BackAndroid along with the Navigator. componentWillMount registers an event listener to handle the taps on the back button. It checks if there is another view in the history stack, and if there is one, it goes back -otherwise it keeps the default beha...

Here's a simple example that uses XSLT to convert data in an XML file into a table in an HTML file. You can use it to experiment with simple XSLT transforms. Prerequisite: Install a Java Runtime Environment and add the location of the JRE to your PATH variable. (On Windows, most installers will add...

Prefix bitwise operators Bitwise operators are like logical operators but executed per bit rather than per boolean value. // bitwise NOT ~: sets all unset bits and unsets all set bits printf("%'06b", ~0b110110); // 001001 Bitmask-bitmask operators Bitwise AND &: a bit is set onl...

Polymorphism without inheritance in the form of duck typing as available in Python due to its dynamic typing system. This means that as long as the classes contain the same methods the Python interpreter does not distinguish between them, as the only checking of the calls occurs at run-time. class ...

While catching the Throwable, Exception, Error and RuntimeException exceptions is bad, throwing them is even worse. The basic problem is that when your application needs to handle exceptions, the presence of the top level exceptions make it hard to discriminate between different error conditions. ...

Pygame will register all events from the user into an event queue which can be received with the code pygame.event.get(). Every element in this queue is an Event object and they'll all have the attribute type, which is an integer representing what kind of event it is. In the pygame module there are ...
