Once you have created your gem to publish it you have to follow a few steps: Build your gem with gem build <gem name>.gemspec (the gemspec file must exist) Create a RubyGems account if you do not already have one here Check to make sure that no gems exist that share your gems name Publis...

MY_CONSTANT = "Hello, world" # constant Constant = 'This is also constant' # constant my_variable = "Hello, venus" # not constatn Constant name start with capital letter. Everything that start with capital letter are considered as constant in Ruby. So class and module are al...

MY_CONSTANT = "Hello, world" MY_CONSTANT = "Hullo, world" The above code results in a warning, because you should be using variables if you want to change their values. However it is possible to change one letter at a time in a constant without a warning, like this: MY_CONST...

class Message DEFAULT_MESSAGE = "Hello, world" def speak(message = nil) if message puts message else puts DEFAULT_MESSAGE end end end The constant DEFAULT_MESSAGE can be changed with the following code: Message::DEFAULT_MESSAGE = "Hullo, wo...

Local variables (unlike the other variable classes) do not have any prefix local_variable = "local" p local_variable # => local Its scope is dependent on where it has been declared, it can not be used outside the "declaration containers" scope. For example, if a local va...

Class variables have a class wide scope, they can be declared anywhere in the class. A variable will be considered a class variable when prefixed with @@ class Dinosaur @@classification = "Like a Reptile, but like a bird" def self.classification @@classification ...

Global variables have a global scope and hence, can be used everywhere. Their scope is not dependent on where they are defined. A variable will be considered global, when prefixed with a $ sign. $i_am_global = "omg" class Dinosaur def instance_method p "global vars ca...

Instance variables have an object wide scope, they can be declared anywhere in the object, however an instance variable declared on class level, will only be visible in the class object. A variable will be considered an instance variable when prefixed with @. Instance variables are used to set and g...

def results = [] (1..4).each{ def what = (it%2) ? 'odd' : 'even' results << what } assert results == ['odd', 'even', 'odd', 'even'] Here, the if-condition (in (parentheses)) is slightly more complex than just testing for existence/Groovy-Truth.

public void SaveNewEmployee(Employee newEmployee) { // best practice - wrap all database connections in a using block so they are always closed & disposed even in the event of an Exception // best practice - retrieve the connection string by name from the app.config or web.config (dep...

It is best to use latest SLIME from Emacs MELPA repository: the packages may be a bit unstable, but you get the latest features. Portale and multiplatform Emacs, Slime, Quicklisp, SBCL and Git You can download a portable and multiplatform version of Emacs25 already configured with Slime, SBCL, Qui...

In Emacs M-x slime will start slime with the default (first) Common Lisp implementation. If there are multiple implementations provided (via variable slime-lisp-implementations), other implementations can be accessed via M-- M-x slime, which will offer the choice of available implementations in mini...

// This iterates through a range between two DateTimes // with the given iterator (any of the Add methods) DateTime start = new DateTime(2016, 01, 01); DateTime until = new DateTime(2016, 02, 01); // NOTICE: As the add methods return a new DateTime you have // to overwrite dt in the itera...

Suppose the make fails: $ make Launch it instead with make VERBOSE=1 to see the commands executed. Then directly run the linker or compiler command that you'll see. Try to make it work by adding necessary flags or libraries. Then figure out what to change, so CMake itself can pass correct argum...
