The function rand() can be used to generate a pseudo-random integer value between 0 and RAND_MAX (0 and RAND_MAX included). srand(int) is used to seed the pseudo-random number generator. Each time rand() is seeded wih the same seed, it must produce the same sequence of values. It should only be see...

Here's a standalone random number generator that doesn't rely on rand() or similar library functions. Why would you want such a thing? Maybe you don't trust your platform's builtin random number generator, or maybe you want a reproducible source of randomness independent of any particular library ...

> redirect the standard output (aka STDOUT) of the current command into a file or another descriptor. These examples write the output of the ls command into the file file.txt ls >file.txt > file.txt ls The target file is created if it doesn't exists, otherwise this file is truncated. ...

< reads from its right argument and writes to its left argument. To write a file into STDIN we should read /tmp/a_file and write into STDIN i.e 0</tmp/a_file Note: Internal file descriptor defaults to 0 (STDIN) for < $ echo "b" > /tmp/list.txt $ echo "a" >> ...

File descriptors like 0 and 1 are pointers. We change what file descriptors point to with redirection. >/dev/null means 1 points to /dev/null. First we point 1 (STDOUT) to /dev/null then point 2 (STDERR) to whatever 1 points to. # STDERR is redirect to STDOUT: redirected to /dev/null, # effect...

2 is STDERR. $ echo_to_stderr 2>/dev/null # echos nothing Definitions: echo_to_stderr is a command that writes "stderr" to STDERR echo_to_stderr () { echo stderr >&2 } $ echo_to_stderr stderr

Truncate > Create specified file if it does not exist. Truncate (remove file's content) Write to file $ echo "first line" > /tmp/lines $ echo "second line" > /tmp/lines $ cat /tmp/lines second line Append >> Create specified file if it does not e...

The type of the literal Without any extensions, the type of a string literal – i.e., something between double quotes – is just a string, aka list of characters: Prelude> :t "foo" "foo" :: [Char] However, when the OverloadedStrings extension is enabled, string literals be...

Defines an <initially-hidden> custom element which hides its contents until a specified number of seconds have elapsed. const InitiallyHiddenElement = document.registerElement('initially-hidden', class extends HTMLElement { createdCallback() { this.revealTimeoutId = null; } at...

It's possible to extent native elements, but their descendants don't get to have their own tag names. Instead, the is attribute is used to specify which subclass an element is supposed to use. For example, here's an extension of the <img> element which logs a message to the console when it's l...

6 Exceptions are to synchronous code what rejections are to promise-based asynchronous code. If an exception is thrown in a promise handler, its error will be automatically caught and used to reject the promise instead. Promise.resolve(5) .then(result => { throw new Error("I ...

Runtime errors in JavaScript are instances of the Error object. The Error object can also be used as-is, or as the base for user-defined exceptions. It's possible to throw any type of value - for example, strings - but you're strongly encouraged to use Error or one of it's derivatives to ensure that...

Assuming a single source file named main.cpp, the command to compile and link an non-optimized executable is as follows (Compiling without optimization is useful for initial development and debugging, although -Og is officially recommended for newer GCC versions). g++ -o app -Wall main.cpp -O0 T...

The most basic use of a float is having text wrap around an image. The below code will produce two paragraphs and an image, with the second paragraph flowing around the image. Notice that it is always content after the floated element that flows around the floated element. HTML: <p>Lorem ips...

A simple two-column layout consists of two fixed-width, floated elements. Note that the sidebar and content area are not the same height in this example. This is one of the tricky parts with multi-column layouts using floats, and requires workarounds to make multiple columns appear to be the same he...

Events fired on DOM elements don't just affect the element they're targeting. Any of the target's ancestors in the DOM may also have a chance to react to the event. Consider the following document: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> </hea...

GHC's OverloadedLists extension allows you to construct list-like data structures with the list literal syntax. This allows you to Data.Map like this: > :set -XOverloadedLists > import qualified Data.Map as M > M.lookup "foo" [("foo", 1), ("bar", 2)] Just ...
