A function can return one or more values to the caller: func AddAndMultiply(a, b int) (int, int) { return a+b, a*b } The second return value can also be the error var : import errors func Divide(dividend, divisor int) (int, error) { if divisor == 0 { return 0, errors.New(...

Return values can be assigned to a local variable. An empty return statement can then be used to return their current values. This is known as "naked" return. Naked return statements should be used only in short functions as they harm readability in longer functions: func Inverse(v float3...

A basic struct is declared as follows: type User struct { FirstName, LastName string Email string Age int } Each value is called a field. Fields are usually written one per line, with the field's name preceeding its type. Consecutive fields of the sa...

Struct fields whose names begin with an uppercase letter are exported. All other names are unexported. type Account struct { UserID int // exported accessToken string // unexported } Unexported fields can only be accessed by code within the same package. As such, if you are ev...

Composition provides an alternative to inheritance. A struct may include another type by name in its declaration: type Request struct { Resource string } type AuthenticatedRequest struct { Request Username, Password string } In the example above, AuthenticatedRequest will con...

Any function can be invoked as a goroutine by prefixing its invocation with the keyword go: func DoMultiply(x,y int) { // Simulate some hard work time.Sleep(time.Second * 1) fmt.Printf("Result: %d\n", x * y) } go DoMultiply(1,2) // first execution, non-blocking go DoMu...

The filter() method accepts a test function, and returns a new array containing only the elements of the original array that pass the test provided. // Suppose we want to get all odd number in an array: var numbers = [5, 32, 43, 4]; 5.1 var odd = numbers.filter(function(n) { return n % 2 !=...

PorterDuff.Mode is used to create a PorterDuffColorFilter. A color filter modifies the color of each pixel of a visual resource. ColorFilter filter = new PorterDuffColorFilter(Color.BLUE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN); The above filter will tint the non-transparent pixels to blue color. The color fil...

An Xfermode (think "transfer" mode) works as a transfer step in drawing pipeline. When an Xfermode is applied to a Paint, the pixels drawn with the paint are combined with underlying pixels (already drawn) as per the mode: paint.setColor(Color.BLUE); paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXferm...

In info.plist set View controller-based status bar appearance to YES In view controllers not contained by UINavigationController implement this method. In Objective-C: - (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle { return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent; } In Swift: override func pre...

Column aliases are used mainly to shorten code and make column names more readable. Code becomes shorter as long table names and unnecessary identification of columns (e.g., there may be 2 IDs in the table, but only one is used in the statement) can be avoided. Along with table aliases this allows ...

A simple literal function, printing Hello! to stdout: package main import "fmt" func main() { func(){ fmt.Println("Hello!") }() } play it on playground A literal function, printing the str argument to stdout: package main import "fmt&quot...

A variadic function can be called with any number of trailing arguments. Those elements are stored in a slice. package main import "fmt" func variadic(strs ...string) { // strs is a slice of string for i, str := range strs { fmt.Printf("%d: %s\n", i, ...

Warning: be sure you have at least 15 GB of free disk space. Compilation in Ubuntu >=13.04 Option A) Use Git Use git if you want to stay in sync with the latest Ubuntu kernel source. Detailed instructions can be found in the Kernel Git Guide. The git repository does not include necessary ...

In order to test the beginning and ending of a given string in Python, one can use the methods str.startswith() and str.endswith(). str.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]]) As it's name implies, str.startswith is used to test whether a given string starts with the given characters in prefix. >...

NaN ("Not a Number") is a special value defined by the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic, which is used when a non-numeric value is provided but a number is expected (1 * "two"), or when a calculation doesn't have a valid number result (Math.sqrt(-1)). Any equality or ...

Python's str type also features a number of methods that can be used to evaluate the contents of a string. These are str.isalpha, str.isdigit, str.isalnum, str.isspace. Capitalization can be tested with str.isupper, str.islower and str.istitle. str.isalpha str.isalpha takes no arguments and retu...

try { StyledDocument doc = new DefaultStyledDocument(); doc.insertString(0, "This is the beginning text", null); doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "\nInserting new line at end of doc", null); MutableAttributeSet attrs = new SimpleAttributeSet(); StyleCons...

try { JTextPane pane = new JTextPane(); StyledDocument doc = new DefaultStyledDocument(); doc.insertString(0, "Some text", null); pane.setDocument(doc); //Technically takes any subclass of Document } catch (BadLocationException ex) { //hand...

StyledDocuments generally do not implement clone, and so have to copy them in a different way if that is necessary. try { //Initialization DefaultStyledDocument sourceDoc = new DefaultStyledDocument(); DefaultStyledDocument destDoc = new DefaultStyledDocument(); ...
