Booleans and other values When dealing with lua it is important to differentiate between the boolean values true and false and values that evaluate to true or false. There are only two values in lua that evaluate to false: nil and false, while everything else, including the numerical 0 evaluate to...

At this point, you're still building your package, so you'll need to add the package to your application: meteor add myaccount:foo And eventually publish it to Atmosphere: meteor publish myaccount:foo

Now that we have all those pieces put together, you should now be able to make calls like the following from within your app: Foo.identify('John'); Foo.record_action_on_item('view', "HackerNews'); Obviously you'll want to adjust function names, arguments, urls, and the like, to create the ...

As well as being able to create an array by filtering out nil from the transformed elements of a sequence, there is also a version of flatMap(_:) that expects the transformation closure to return a sequence S. extension SequenceType { public func flatMap<S : SequenceType>(transform: (Sel...

You can also update data in a table based on data from another table: UPDATE person SET state_code = cities.state_code FROM cities WHERE cities.city = city; Here we are joining the person city column to the cities city column in order to get the city's state code. This is then used to updat...

The Comparable<T> interface requires one method: public interface Comparable<T> { public int compareTo(T other); } And the Comparator<T> interface requires one method: public interface Comparator<T> { public int compare(T t1, T t2); } These two met...

The option -v followed by an assignment of the form variable=value can be used to pass parameters to an awk program. This is illustrated by the punishment program below, whose job is to write count times the sentence “I shall not talk in class.” on standard output. The following example uses the v...

If you have a list, and you want to use the elements of that list as the arguments to a function, what you want is apply: > (apply string-append (list "hello" " " "and hi" " " "are both words")) "hello and hi are both words" > (app...

The previous example is good enough when we need to bind a single html element, to a single variable. In reality - we need to bind many elements to many variables: <span ng-repeat="number in [1,2,3,4,5]">{{number}}</span> This ng-repeat binds 5 elements to 5 variables call...

Be careful, this approach might be considered as a bad design for angular apps, since it requires programmers to remember both where functions are placed in the scope tree, and to be aware of scope inheritance. In many cases it would be preferred to inject a service (Angular practice - using scope ...

Sometimes when tables are used mostly (or only) for reads, indexing does not help anymore and every little bit counts, one might use selects without LOCK to improve performance. SQL Server SELECT * FROM TableName WITH (nolock) MySQL SET SESSION TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED;...

//Swift let fooViewController = UIViewController() navigationController?.pushViewController(fooViewController, animated: true) //Objective-C UIViewController *fooViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; [navigationController pushViewController:fooViewController animated:YES];

This example shows how to open a default dialer (an app that makes regular calls) with a provided telephone number already in place: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL); intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:9988776655")); //Replace with valid phone number. Remember to add the tel: pr...

The code below will prompt for numbers and continue to add them to the beginning of a linked list. /* This program will demonstrate inserting a node at the beginning of a linked list */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct Node { int data; struct Node* next; }; ...

The numpy dot function has an optional parameter out=None. This parameter allows you to specify an array to write the result to. This array must be exactly the same shape and type as the array that would have been returned, or an exception will be thrown. >>> I = np.eye(2) >>> I ...

If while working you realize you're on wrong branch and you haven't created any commits yet, you can easily move your work to correct branch using stashing: git stash git checkout correct-branch git stash pop Remember git stash pop will apply the last stash and delete it from the stash list. T...

Using vanilla mathematics: var from:Point = new Point(100, 50); var to:Point = new Point(80, 95); var angle:Number = Math.atan2(to.y - from.y, to.x - from.x); Using a new vector representing the difference between the first two: var difference:Point = to.subtract(from); var angle:Number ...

Using vanilla mathematics: var from:Point = new Point(300, 10); var to:Point = new Point(75, 40); var a:Number = to.x - from.x; var b:Number = to.y - from.y; var distance:Number = Math.sqrt(a * a + b * b); Using inbuilt functionality of Point: var distance:Number = to.subtract(from).len...

A whole circle is 360 degrees or Math.PI * 2 radians. Half of those values follows to be 180 degrees or Math.PI radians. A quarter is then 90 degrees or Math.PI / 2 radians. To get a segment as a percentage of a whole circle in radians: function getSegment(percent:Number):Number { retur...

The slider provides an event called slide that will trigger whenever the mouse moves during a slider handle drag. This function holds a reference to the slide event and a reference to the slider ui object. The ui object holds a jQuery object for the handle being moved and the value(s) of the slide...
