Import the ElementTree object, open the relevant .xml file and get the root tag: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET tree = ET.parse("yourXMLfile.xml") root = tree.getroot() There are a few ways to search through the tree. First is by iteration: for child in root: print(child.ta...

When a function is declared, variables in the context of its declaration are captured in its scope. For example, in the code below, the variable x is bound to a value in the outer scope, and then the reference to x is captured in the context of bar: var x = 4; // declaration in outer scope funct...

What is hoisting? Hoisting is a mechanism which moves all variable and function declarations to the top of their scope. However, variable assignments still happen where they originally were. For example, consider the following code: console.log(foo); // → undefined var foo = 42; console.log(fo...

Importing using base R Comma separated value files (CSVs) can be imported using read.csv, which wraps read.table, but uses sep = "," to set the delimiter to a comma. # get the file path of a CSV included in R's utils package csv_path <- system.file("misc", "exDIF.csv&q...

Java SE 7 As the try-catch-final statement example illustrates, resource cleanup using a finally clause requires a significant amount of "boiler-plate" code to implement the edge-cases correctly. Java 7 provides a much simpler way to deal with this problem in the form of the try-with-res...

Employ the EAFP coding style and try to open it. import errno try: with open(path) as f: # File exists except IOError as e: # Raise the exception if it is not ENOENT (No such file or directory) if e.errno != errno.ENOENT: raise # No such file or directory ...

Final classes When used in a class declaration, the final modifier prevents other classes from being declared that extend the class. A final class is a "leaf" class in the inheritance class hierarchy. // This declares a final class final class MyFinalClass { /* some code */ } ...

The and-operator (&&) and the or-operator (||) employ short-circuiting to prevent unnecessary work if the outcome of the operation does not change with the extra work. In x && y, y will not be evaluated if x evaluates to false, because the whole expression is guaranteed to be false....

Introduction Package is a term used by npm to denote tools that developers can use for their projects. This includes everything from libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and AngularJS to task runners such as Gulp.js. The packages will come in a folder typically called node_modules, which will a...

Python 3.2+ has support for %z format when parsing a string into a datetime object. UTC offset in the form +HHMM or -HHMM (empty string if the object is naive). Python 3.x3.2 import datetime dt = datetime.datetime.strptime("2016-04-15T08:27:18-0500", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z"...

Dates don't exist in isolation. It is common that you will need to find the amount of time between dates or determine what the date will be tomorrow. This can be accomplished using timedelta objects import datetime today = datetime.date.today() print('Today:', today) yesterday = today - date...

The $_SESSION variable is an array, and you can retrieve or manipulate it like a normal array. <?php // Starting the session session_start(); // Storing the value in session $_SESSION['id'] = 342; // conditional usage of session values that may have been set in a previous session if(!i...

Parameters can be used for returning one or more values; those parameters are required to be non-const pointers or references. References: void calculate(int a, int b, int& c, int& d, int& e, int& f) { c = a + b; d = a - b; e = a * b; f = a / b; } Pointers: ...

C++11 The type std::tuple can bundle any number of values, potentially including values of different types, into a single return object: std::tuple<int, int, int, int> foo(int a, int b) { // or auto (C++14) return std::make_tuple(a + b, a - b, a * b, a / b); } In C++17, a braced init...

C++11 The container std::array can bundle together a fixed number of return values. This number has to be known at compile-time and all return values have to be of the same type: std::array<int, 4> bar(int a, int b) { return { a + b, a - b, a * b, a / b }; } This replaces c style ar...
