The ternary operator is used for inline conditional expressions. It is best used in simple, concise operations that are easily read. The order of the arguments is different from many other languages (such as C, Ruby, Java, etc.), which may lead to bugs when people unfamiliar with Python's "s...

Case statements can be combined with if expressions to provide extra logic when pattern matching. def checkSign(x: Int): String = { x match { case a if a < 0 => s"$a is a negative number" case b if b > 0 => s"$b is a positive number" case c ...

To jump back to a previous commit, first find the commit's hash using git log. To temporarily jump back to that commit, detach your head with: git checkout 789abcd This places you at commit 789abcd. You can now make new commits on top of this old commit without affecting the branch your head is...

Unshift Use .unshift to add one or more items in the beginning of an array. For example: var array = [3, 4, 5, 6]; array.unshift(1, 2); array results in: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Push Further .push is used to add items after the last currently existent item. For example: var array = [1, 2, 3...

The filter or map functions should often be replaced by list comprehensions. Guido Van Rossum describes this well in an open letter in 2005: filter(P, S) is almost always written clearer as [x for x in S if P(x)], and this has the huge advantage that the most common usages involve predicates tha...

A string representation of a Guid can be obtained by using the built in ToString method string myGuidString = myGuid.ToString(); Depending on your needs you can also format the Guid, by adding a format type argument to the ToString call. var guid = new Guid("7febf16f-651b-43b0-a5e3-0da8da4...

Long vectors with long runs of the same value can be significantly compressed by storing them in their run-length encoding (the value of each run and the number of times that value is repeated). As an example, consider a vector of length 10 million with a huge number of 1's and only a small number o...

Compile errors can be generated using the preprocessor. This is useful for a number of reasons some of which include, notifying a user if they are on an unsupported platform or an unsupported compiler. e.g. Return Error if gcc version is 3.0.0 or earlier. #if __GNUC__ < 3 #error "This cod...

The for clause of a list comprehension can specify more than one variable: [x + y for x, y in [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]] # Out: [3, 7, 11] [x + y for x, y in zip([1, 3, 5], [2, 4, 6])] # Out: [3, 7, 11] This is just like regular for loops: for x, y in [(1,2), (3,4), (5,6)]: print(x+y) ...

The System namespace contains Func<..., TResult> delegate types with between 0 and 15 generic parameters, returning type TResult. private void UseFunc(Func<string> func) { string output = func(); // Func with a single generic type parameter returns that type Console.WriteLine...

execute the following command to insert the text into a view with a focus (if it supports text input) 6.0 Send text on SDK 23+ adb shell "input keyboard text 'Paste text on Android Device'" If already connected to your device via adb: input text 'Paste text on Android Device' 6...

Implementations in classes, including abstract declarations, take precedence over all interface defaults. Abstract class method takes precedence over Interface Default Method. public interface Swim { default void backStroke() { System.out.println("Swim.backStroke"); ...

The expansion of a macro often needs to use symbols that weren't passed as arguments by the user (as names for local variables, for example). One must make sure that such symbols cannot conflict with a symbol that the user is using in the surrounding code. This is usually achieved by using GENSYM, ...

The following expressions are sequenced: a && b a || b a , b a ? b : c for ( a ; b ; c ) { ... } In all cases, the expression a is fully evaluated and all side effects are applied before either b or c are evaluated. In the fourth case, only one of b or c will be evaluated. In the l...

C11 The following expressions are unsequenced: a + b; a - b; a * b; a / b; a % b; a & b; a | b; In the above examples, the expression a may be evaluated before or after the expression b, b may be evaluated before a, or they may even be intermixed if they correspond to several instruct...

$string = "0| PHP 1| CSS 2| HTML 3| AJAX 4| JSON"; //[0-9]: Any single character in the range 0 to 9 // + : One or more of 0 to 9 $array = preg_split("/[0-9]+\|/", $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); //Or // [] : Character class // \d : Any digit // + : One or more ...

For instance, a computation involving commands to read and write from the prompt: First we describe the "commands" of our computation as a Functor data type {-# LANGUAGE DeriveFunctor #-} data TeletypeF next = PrintLine String next | ReadLine (String -> next) derivin...

Using the Android API 23 or higher, very often such situation can be seen: This situation is caused by the structural change of the Android API regarding getting the resources. Now the function: public int getColor(@ColorRes int id, @Nullable Theme theme) throws NotFoundException should...

Before the C compiler starts compiling a source code file, the file is processed in a preprocessing phase. This phase can be done by a separate program or be completely integrated in one executable. In any case, it is invoked automatically by the compiler before compilation proper begins. The prepro...

Floating point numbers of type real cannot have any real value. They can represent real numbers up to certain amount of decimal digits. FORTRAN 77 guaranteed two floating point types and more recent standards guarantee at least two real types. Real variables may be declared as real x double prec...
