A subprogram (which defines a procedure), can be either a subroutine or a function; it is said to be an internal subprogram if it is called or invoked from the same program or subprogram that contains it, as follows program my_program ! declarations ! executable statements, ! among which...

A subprogram is said to be external when it is not contained in the main program, nor in a module or antoher subprogram. In particular it can be defined by means of a programming language other than Fortran. When an external subprogram is invoked, the compiler cannot access to its code, so all the ...

Most advanced user interfaces require the user to be able to pass information between the various functions which make up a user interface. MATLAB has a number of different methods to do so. guidata MATLAB's own GUI Development Environment (GUIDE) prefers to use a struct named handles to pass da...

Controlled form components are defined with a value property. The value of controlled inputs is managed by React, user inputs will not have any direct influence on the rendered input. Instead, a change to the value property needs to reflect this change. class Form extends React.Component { con...

Uncontrolled components are inputs that do not have a value property. In opposite to controlled components, it is the application's responsibility to keep the component state and the input value in sync. class Form extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); th...

JSTL is part of the Java EE API and included in Java EE application servers such as WildFly, TomEE, GlassFish, but not in barebones servletcontainers such as Tomcat and Jetty. JSTL are the taglibs which you import from http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/* namespace. JSTL must not be confused with a "...

There are various methods available for explicitly converting a string to an integer, such as: Convert.ToInt16(); Convert.ToInt32(); Convert.ToInt64(); int.Parse(); But all these methods will throw a FormatException, if the input string contains non-numeric characters. For t...

Use the continuation character (ellipsis) ... to continue long statement. Example: MyFunc( parameter1,parameter2,parameter3,parameter4, parameter5, parameter6,parameter7, parameter8, parameter9) can be replaced by: MyFunc( parameter1, ... parameter2, ... parameter3, ... ...

Floating-point numbers cannot represent all real numbers. This is known as floating point inaccuracy. There are infinitely many floating points numbers and they can be infinitely long (e.g. π), thus being able to represent them perfectly would require infinitely amount of memory. Seeing this was a ...

To add/subtract time, use POSIXct, since it stores times in seconds ## adding/subtracting times - 60 seconds as.POSIXct("2016-01-01") + 60 # [1] "2016-01-01 00:01:00 AEDT" ## adding 3 hours, 14 minutes, 15 seconds as.POSIXct("2016-01-01") + ( (3 * 60 * 60) + (14 ...

Objective-C NSString *textToShare = @"StackOverflow Documentation!! Together, we can do for Documentation what we did for Q&A."; NSURL *documentationURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://stackoverflow.com/tour/documentation"]; NSArray *objectsToShare = @[textToShare, docum...

Steps to create Hello Spring: Investigate Spring Boot to see if that would better suit your needs. Have a project set up with the correct dependencies. It is recommended that you are using Maven or Gradle. create a POJO class, e.g. Employee.java create a XML file where you can define your clas...

You can remove any of the conventions defined in the System.Data.Entity.ModelConfiguration.Conventions namespace, by overriding OnModelCreating method. The following example removes PluralizingTableNameConvention. public class EshopContext : DbContext { public DbSet<Product> Products...

string str = "this--is--a--complete--sentence"; string[] tokens = str.Split(new[] { "--" }, StringSplitOptions.None); Result: [ "this", "is", "a", "complete", "sentence" ]

for comprehensions in Scala are just syntactic sugar. These comprehensions are implemented using the withFilter, foreach, flatMap and map methods of their subject types. For this reason, only types that have these methods defined can be utilized in a for comprehension. A for comprehension of the fo...

It is also possible to use Scala's string interpolation feature to create elaborate extractors (pattern matchers), as perhaps most famously employed in the quasiquotes API of Scala macros. Given that n"p0${i0}p1" desugars to new StringContext("p0", "p1").n(i0), it is p...

To the average R user, the list structure may appear to be the one of the more complicated data structures to manipulate. There are no guarantees that all the elements within it are of the same type; There is no guaranteed structure of how complicated/non-complicated that the list would be (An eleme...

rvest is a package for web scraping and parsing by Hadley Wickham inspired by Python's Beautiful Soup. It leverages Hadley's xml2 package's libxml2 bindings for HTML parsing. As part of the tidyverse, rvest is piped. It uses xml2::read_html to scrape the HTML of a webpage, which can then be sub...

The r method implicitly provided via scala.collection.immutable.StringOps produces an instance of scala.util.matching.Regex from the subject string. Scala's triple-quoted string syntax is useful here, as you do not have to escape backslashes as you would in Java: val r0: Regex = """(...

Comparing string in a case insensitive way seems like something that's trivial, but it's not. This section only considers unicode strings (the default in Python 3). Note that Python 2 may have subtle weaknesses relative to Python 3 - the later's unicode handling is much more complete. The first thi...
