Explicitly closing a file is rarely necessary in C++, as a file stream will automatically close its associated file in its destructor. However, you should try to limit the lifetime of a file stream object, so that it does not keep the file handle open longer than necessary. For example, this can be ...

In addition to importing named members from a module or a module's default export, you can also import all members into a namespace binding. import * as test from './test' test.doSomething() All exported members are now available on the test variable. Non-exported members are not available, j...

Sometimes you may encounter members that have really long member names, such as thisIsWayTooLongOfAName(). In this case, you can import the member and give it a shorter name to use in your current module: import {thisIsWayTooLongOfAName as shortName} from 'module' shortName() You can import m...

Let's say you've got a list of restaurants -- maybe you read it from a file. You care about the unique restaurants in the list. The best way to get the unique elements from a list is to turn it into a set: restaurants = ["McDonald's", "Burger King", "McDonald's", &qu...

Counter is a dict sub class that allows you to easily count objects. It has utility methods for working with the frequencies of the objects that you are counting. import collections counts = collections.Counter([1,2,3]) the above code creates an object, counts, which has the frequencies of all ...

collections.defaultdict(default_factory) returns a subclass of dict that has a default value for missing keys. The argument should be a function that returns the default value when called with no arguments. If there is nothing passed, it defaults to None. >>> state_capitals = collections.d...

$ git branch -d dev Deletes the branch named dev if its changes are merged with another branch and will not be lost. If the dev branch does contain changes that have not yet been merged that would be lost, git branch -d will fail: $ git branch -d dev error: The branch 'dev' is not fully merged...

The term "IFrame" means Inline Frame. It can be used to include another page in your page. This will yield a small frame which shows the exact contents of the base.html. <iframe src="base.html"></iframe>

jQuery code is often wrapped in jQuery(function($) { ... }); so that it only runs after the DOM has finished loading. <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function($) { // this will set the div's text to "Hello". $("#myDiv").text("Hello"...

These are all equivalent, the code inside the blocks will run when the document is ready: $(function() { // code }); $().ready(function() { // code }); $(document).ready(function() { // code }); Because these are equivalent the first is the recommended form, the following is a ...

To remove an element inside an array, e.g. the element with the index 1. $fruit = array("bananas", "apples", "peaches"); unset($fruit[1]); This will remove the apples from the list, but notice that unset does not change the indexes of the remaining elements. So $fr...

Boolean is a type, having two values, denoted as true or false. This code sets the value of $foo as true and $bar as false: $foo = true; $bar = false; true and false are not case sensitive, so TRUE and FALSE can be used as well, even FaLsE is possible. Using lower case is most common and recom...

# Length of a string $ var='12345' $ echo "${#var}" 5 Note that it's the length in number of characters which is not necessarily the same as the number of bytes (like in UTF-8 where most characters are encoded in more than one byte), nor the number of glyphs/graphemes (some of which ...

One of the most common tasks is retrieving an existing element from the DOM to manipulate. Most commonly these methods are executed on document, because it is the root node, but all these methods work on any HTML element in the tree. They will only return children from the node it is executed on. R...

An element can be cloned by invoking the cloneNode method on it. If the first parameter passed to cloneNode is true, the children of the original will also be cloned. var original = document.getElementsByTagName("li")[0]; var clone = original.cloneNode(true);

A class is a user-defined type. A class is introduced with the class, struct or union keyword. In colloquial usage, the term "class" usually refers only to non-union classes. A class is a collection of class members, which can be: member variables (also called "fields"), mem...

When using inheritance, you can specify the virtual keyword: struct A{}; struct B: public virtual A{}; When class B has virtual base A it means that A will reside in most derived class of inheritance tree, and thus that most derived class is also responsible for initializing that virtual base: ...

Aside from single inheritance: class A {}; class B : public A {}; You can also have multiple inheritance: class A {}; class B {}; class C : public A, public B {}; C will now have inherit from A and B at the same time. Note: this can lead to ambiguity if the same names are used in multipl...

Function overloading is having multiple functions declared in the same scope with the exact same name exist in the same place (known as scope) differing only in their signature, meaning the arguments they accept. Suppose you are writing a series of functions for generalized printing capabilities, b...

A std::vector can be initialized in several ways while declaring it: C++11 std::vector<int> v{ 1, 2, 3 }; // v becomes {1, 2, 3} // Different from std::vector<int> v(3, 6) std::vector<int> v{ 3, 6 }; // v becomes {3, 6} // Different from std::vector<int> v{3, ...
