Padding a string to a fixed length

string s = "Foo"; string paddedLeft = s.PadLeft(5); // paddedLeft = " Foo" (pads with spaces by default) string paddedRight = s.PadRight(6, '+'); // paddedRight = "Foo+++" string noPadded = s.PadLeft(2); // noPadded = "Foo" (original string...

Logical connective of values

5.1 .some and .every allow a logical connective of Array values. While .some combines the return values with OR, .every combines them with AND. Examples for .some [false, false].some(function(value) { return value; }); // Result: false [false, true].some(function(value) { return value...

Class lambdas and capture of this

A lambda expression evaluated in a class' member function is implicitly a friend of that class: class Foo { private: int i; public: Foo(int val) : i(val) {} // definition of a member function void Test() { auto lamb = [](Foo &foo, int val) ...

Double quotes for variable and command substitution

Variable substitutions should only be used inside double quotes. calculation='2 * 3' echo "$calculation" # prints 2 * 3 echo $calculation # prints 2, the list of files in the current directory, and 3 echo "$(($calculation))" # prints 6 Outside of doubl...

Bitwise Left Shift

The << operator will perform a bitwise "left shift," where the left operand's value is moved left by the number of bits given by the right operand. # 2 = 0b10 2 << 2 # Out: 8 # 8 = 0b1000 bin(2 << 2) # Out: 0b1000 Performing a left bit shift of 1 is equivalent ...

Bitwise Right Shift

The >> operator will perform a bitwise "right shift," where the left operand's value is moved right by the number of bits given by the right operand. # 8 = 0b1000 8 >> 2 # Out: 2 # 2 = 0b10 bin(8 >> 2) # Out: 0b10 Performing a right bit shift of 1 is equivalent...

File comparison

if [[ $file1 -ef $file2 ]]; then echo "$file1 and $file2 are the same file" fi “Same file” means that modifying one of the files in place affects the other. Two files can be the same even if they have different names, for example if they are hard links, or if they are symbolic links...

File access tests

File type tests

The -e conditional operator tests whether a file exists (including all file types: directories, etc.). if [[ -e $filename ]]; then echo "$filename exists" fi There are tests for specific file types as well. if [[ -f $filename ]]; then echo "$filename is a regular file&quot...

Functions with arguments

In helloJohn.sh: #!/bin/bash greet() { local name="$1" echo "Hello, $name" } greet "John Doe" # running above script $ bash helloJohn.sh Hello, John Doe If you don't modify the argument in any way, there is no need to copy it to a local variabl...

Zero value of a map

The zero value of a map is nil and has a length of 0. var m map[string]string fmt.Println(m == nil) // true fmt.Println(len(m) ==0) // true A nil map has no keys nor can keys be added. A nil map behaves like an empty map if read from but causes a runtime panic if written to. var m map[string]...

Iterating the elements of a map

import fmt people := map[string]int{ "john": 30, "jane": 29, "mark": 11, } for key, value := range people { fmt.Println("Name:", key, "Age:", value) } Note that when iterating over a map with a range loop, the iteration order i...

Iterating the keys of a map

people := map[string]int{ "john": 30, "jane": 29, "mark": 11, } for key, _ := range people { fmt.Println("Name:", key) } If you are just looking for the keys, since they are the first value, you can simply drop the underscore: for key := r...

Waiting for goroutines

Go programs end when the main function ends, therefore it is common practice to wait for all goroutines to finish. A common solution for this is to use a sync.WaitGroup object. package main import ( "fmt" "sync" ) var wg sync.WaitGroup // 1 func routine(i int...

Negate a Bool with the prefix ! operator

The prefix ! operator returns the logical negation of its argument. That is, !true returns false, and !false returns true. print(!true) // prints "false" print(!false) // prints "true" func test(_ someBoolean: Bool) { if !someBoolean { print("someBoolean ...

Fixtures

From Wikipedia: A test fixture is something used to consistently test some item, device, or piece of software. It can also enhance readability of tests by extracting common initialisation / finalisation code from the test methods themselves. Where common initialisation can be executed once in...
