Any is used to check if any element of a collection matches a condition or not. see also: .All, Any and FirstOrDefault: best practice 1. Empty parameter Any: Returns true if the collection has any elements and false if the collection is empty: var numbers = new List<int>(); bool result = ...

The arc4random_uniform() function is the simplest way to get high-quality random integers. As per the manual: arc4random_uniform(upper_bound) will return a uniformly distributed random number less than upper_bound. arc4random_uniform() is recommended over constructions like ''arc4random() % uppe...

The following code demonstrates usage of arc4random_uniform() to generate a random integer between 3 and 12: uint32_t randomIntegerWithinRange = arc4random_uniform(10) + 3; // A random integer between 3 and 12 This works to create a range because arc4random_uniform(10) returns an integer between...

hash( (1, 2) ) # ok hash( ([], {"hello"}) # not ok, since lists and sets are not hashabe Thus a tuple can be put inside a set or as a key in a dict only if each of its elements can. { (1, 2) } # ok { ([], {"hello"}) ) # not ok

C# allows user-defined types to control assignment and casting through the use of the explicit and implicit keywords. The signature of the method takes the form: public static <implicit/explicit> operator <ResultingType>(<SourceType> myType) The method cannot take any more argu...

To generate random permutation of 5 numbers: sample(5) # [1] 4 5 3 1 2 To generate random permutation of any vector: sample(10:15) # [1] 11 15 12 10 14 13 One could also use the package pracma randperm(a, k) # Generates one random permutation of k of the elements a, if a is a vector, # ...

Many developers like to customize the font, text, and background color of their IDE's. You can do this in Xcode by opening the app preference pane, either by going to XCODE->Preferences, or by pressing '⌘,' With the preference pane open you can click on the 'Fonts and Colors' tab. From her...

Equivalently, we can use the $inject property annotation to achieve the same as above: var MyController = function($scope) { // ... } MyController.$inject = ['$scope']; myModule.controller('MyController', MyController);

The Switch statement works very well with Enum values enum CarModel { case Standard, Fast, VeryFast } let car = CarModel.Standard switch car { case .Standard: print("Standard") case .Fast: print("Fast") case .VeryFast: print("VeryFast") } Since we ...

.' is the correct way to transpose a vector or matrix in MATLAB. ' is the correct way to take the complex conjugate transpose (a.k.a. Hermitian conjugate) of a vector or matrix in MATLAB. Note that for the transpose .', there is a period in front of the apostrophe. This is in keeping with the ...

WITH CTE (StudentId, Fname, LName, DOB, RowCnt) as ( SELECT StudentId, FirstName, LastName, DateOfBirth as DOB, SUM(1) OVER (Partition By FirstName, LastName, DateOfBirth) as RowCnt FROM tblStudent ) SELECT * from CTE where RowCnt > 1 ORDER BY DOB, LName This example uses a Common Table ...

Match any: Must match at least one string. In this example the product type must be either 'electronics', 'books', or 'video'. SELECT * FROM purchase_table WHERE product_type LIKE ANY ('electronics', 'books', 'video'); Match all (must meet all requirements). In this example both 'united...

// Calculate what day of the week is 36 days from this instant. System.DateTime today = System.DateTime.Now; System.TimeSpan duration = new System.TimeSpan(36, 0, 0, 0); System.DateTime answer = today.Add(duration); System.Console.WriteLine("{0:dddd}", answer);

Once the instance of the BackgroundWorker has been declared, it must be given properties and event handlers for the tasks it performs. /* This is the backgroundworker's "DoWork" event handler. This method is what will contain all the work you wish to have your progra...

A BackgroundWorker is commonly used to perform tasks, sometimes time consuming, without blocking the UI thread. // BackgroundWorker is part of the ComponentModel namespace. using System.ComponentModel; namespace BGWorkerExample { public partial class ExampleForm : Form { ...

Python supports a translate method on the str type which allows you to specify the translation table (used for replacements) as well as any characters which should be deleted in the process. str.translate(table[, deletechars]) ParameterDescriptiontableIt is a lookup table that defines the mappin...

Extension methods are useful to extend the behaviour of libraries we don't own. They are used similar to instance methods thanks to the compiler's syntactic sugar: Sub Main() Dim stringBuilder = new StringBuilder() 'Extension called directly on the object. stringBuilder.AppendIf(t...

A good use of extension method is to make the language more functional Sub Main() Dim strings = { "One", "Two", "Three" } strings.Join(Environment.NewLine).Print() End Sub <Extension> Public Function Join(strings As IEnumerable(Of String), separa...

A namespace is a URI, but to avoid verbosity, prefixes are used as a proxy. In the following example, the prefix my-prefix is bound to the namespace http://www.example.com/my-namespace by using the special attribute xmlns:my-prefix (my-prefix can be replaced with any other prefix): <?xml versio...
