The easiest option to draw a circle, is - obviously - the rectangle function. %// radius r = 2; %// center c = [3 3]; pos = [c-r 2*r 2*r]; rectangle('Position',pos,'Curvature',[1 1]) axis equal but the curvature of the rectangle has to be set to 1! The position vector defines the rect...

Improper Inheritance Lets say there are 2 classes class Foo and Bar. Foo has two features Do1 and Do2. Bar needs to use Do1 from Foo, but it doesn't need Do2 or needs feature that is equivalent to Do2 but does something completely different. Bad way: make Do2() on Foo virtual then override it in B...

C# developers get a lot of null reference exceptions to deal with. F# developers don't because they have the Option type. An Option<> type (some prefer Maybe<> as a name) provides a Some and a None return type. It makes it explicit that a method may be about to return a null record. For...

One of Angular's strength's is client-side form validation. Dealing with traditional form inputs and having to use interrogative jQuery-style processing can be time-consuming and finicky. Angular allows you to produce professional interactive forms relatively easily. The ng-model directive provide...

uses System.Character; var S1, S2: string; begin S1 := 'Foo'; S2 := ToLower(S1); // Convert the string to lower-case S1 := ToUpper(S2); // Convert the string to upper-case

The assignment operator = sets thr left hand operand's value to the value of right hand operand, and return that value: int a = 3; // assigns value 3 to variable a int b = a = 5; // first assigns value 5 to variable a, then does the same for variable b Console.WriteLine(a = 3 + 4); // prints ...

To display "Some Text", use the command: echo Some Text This will output the string Some Text followed by a new line. To display the strings On and Off (case insensitive) or the empty string, use a ( instead of white-space: echo(ON echo( echo(off This will output: ON off ...

The echo setting determines whether command echoing is on or off. This is what a sample program looks like with command echoing on (default): C:\Windows\System32>echo Hello, World! Hello, World! C:\Windows\System32>where explorer C:\Windows\System32\explorer.exe C:\Windows\System32&gt...

Sometimes you may need additional features from a directive. Instead of rewriting (copy) the directive, you can modify how the directive behaves. The decorator will be executed during $inject phase. To do so, provde a .config to your module. The directive is called myDirective, so you have to con...

Angular js directives can be nested or be made interoperable. In this example, directive Adir exposes to directive Bdir it's controller $scope, since Bdir requires Adir. angular.module('myApp',[]).directive('Adir', function () { return { restrict: 'AE', controlle...

enum Util { /* No instances */; public static int clamp(int min, int max, int i) { return Math.min(Math.max(i, min), max); } // other utility methods... } Just as enum can be used for singletons (1 instance classes), it can be used for utility classes (0 instance...

Imagine that we have a class Math.php with logic of calculating of fiobanacci and factorial numbers. Something like this: <?php class Math { public function fibonacci($n) { if (is_int($n) && $n > 0) { $elements = array(); $elements[1] = 1; ...

Once the type handlers are registered, everything should work automatically, and you should be able to use these types as either parameters or return values: string redmond = "POINT (122.1215 47.6740)"; DbGeography point = DbGeography.PointFromText(redmond, DbGeography.DefaultCoordi...

When using Access you can retrieve data using queries. These queries are built using Structured Query Language (SQL). Understanding SQL is important because it can help build better, more useful queries. When creating queries in Access, you can switch to "SQL View". An example of a "...

When you wish to combine the results of multiple tables or queries with similar fields together into a single resulting data set without performing any relational joins (i.e. you want to list one dataset immediately after the other), you will use a UNION query. However, it is notable that these quer...
