Consider this simple project with a flat directory structure: example |-- example.asd |-- functions.lisp |-- main.lisp |-- packages.lisp `-- tools.lisp The example.asd file is really just another Lisp file with little more than an ASDF-specific function call. Assuming your project depends o...

Can be used to shorten if/else operations. This comes in handy for returning a value quickly (i.e. in order to assign it to another variable). For example: var animal = 'kitty'; var result = (animal === 'kitty') ? 'cute' : 'still nice'; In this case, result gets the 'cute' value, because the v...

Generally To use regular expression specific characters (?+| etc.) in their literal meaning they need to be escaped. In common regular expression this is done by a backslash \. However, as it has a special meaning in Java Strings, you have to use a double backslash \\. These two examples will not ...

git cherry-pick <commit-hash> will apply the changes made in an existing commit to another branch, while recording a new commit. Essentially, you can copy commits from branch to branch. Given the following tree (Source) dd2e86 - 946992 - 9143a9 - a6fd86 - 5a6057 [master] \ ...

Method Chaining is a technique explained in Martin Fowler's book Domain Specific Languages. Method Chaining is summarized as Makes modifier methods return the host object, so that multiple modifiers can be invoked in a single expression. Consider this non-chaining/regular piece of code (ported...

A CLOS class is described by: a name a list of superclasses a list of slots further options like documentation Each slot has: a name an initialization form (optional) an initialization argument (optional) a type (optional) a documentation string (optional) accessor, reader and/or wr...

In Go, you can declare multiple variables at the same time. // You can declare multiple variables of the same type in one line var a, b, c string var d, e string = "Hello", "world!" // You can also use short declaration to assign multiple variables x, y, z := 1, 2, 3 ...

The basic format of C-style for loop is: for (( variable assignment; condition; iteration process )) Notes: The assignment of the variable inside C-style for loop can contain spaces unlike the usual assignment Variables inside C-style for loop aren't preceded with $. Example: for (( i = ...

Until loop executes until condition is true i=5 until [[ i -eq 10 ]]; do #Checks if i=10 echo "i=$i" #Print the value of i i=$((i+1)) #Increment i by 1 done Output: i=5 i=6 i=7 i=8 i=9 When i reaches 10 the condition in until loop becomes true and the loop ends.

It is tricky to remove items from a list while within a loop, this is due to the fact that the index and length of the list gets changed. Given the following list, here are some examples that will give an unexpected result and some that will give the correct result. List<String> fruits = new...

To publish the changes you made in your working copy, run the svn commit command. IMPORTANT: Review your changes before committing them! Use svn status and svn diff to review the changes. Also, make sure you are in the correct path before performing a commit. If you updated many files across vari...

Performs an explicit conversion into the given type from the value resulting from evaluating the given expression. int x = 3; int y = 4; printf("%f\n", (double)x / y); /* Outputs "0.750000". */ Here the value of x is converted to a double, the division promotes the value of...

With a type as operand Evaluates into the size in bytes, of type size_t, of objects of the given type. Requires parentheses around the type. printf("%zu\n", sizeof(int)); /* Valid, outputs the size of an int object, which is platform-dependent. */ printf("%zu\n", sizeof int); ...

Pointer addition Given a pointer and a scalar type N, evaluates into a pointer to the Nth element of the pointed-to type that directly succeeds the pointed-to object in memory. int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; printf("*(arr + 3) = %i\n", *(arr + 3)); /* Outputs "4", arr's fourth e...

The member access operators (dot . and arrow ->) are used to access a member of a struct. Member of object Evaluates into the lvalue denoting the object that is a member of the accessed object. struct MyStruct { int x; int y; }; struct MyStruct myObject; myObject.x = 42; myObj...

The first operand must be a function pointer (a function designator is also acceptable because it will be converted to a pointer to the function), identifying the function to call, and all other operands, if any, are collectively known as the function call's arguments. Evaluates into the return valu...

Pseudo-classes are keywords which allow selection based on information that lies outside of the document tree or that cannot be expressed by other selectors or combinators. This information can be associated to a certain state (state and dynamic pseudo-classes), to locations (structural and target p...

In this example we are going to plot multiple lines onto a single axis. Additionally, we choose a different appearance for the lines and create a legend. % create sample data x = linspace(-2,2,100); % 100 linearly spaced points from -2 to 2 y1 = x.^2; y2 = 2*x.^2; y3 = 4*x.^2; ...

A database snapshot is a read-only, static view of a SQL Server database (the source database). It is similar to backup, but it is available as any other database so client can query snapshot database. CREATE DATABASE MyDatabase_morning -- name of the snapshot ON ( NAME=MyDatabase_data, -- l...

If data in a source database becomes damaged or some wrong data is written into database, in some cases, reverting the database to a database snapshot that predates the damage might be an appropriate alternative to restoring the database from a backup. RESTORE DATABASE MYDATABASE FROM DATABASE_SNAP...
