When combining 2 record sets with different columns then emulate the missing ones with default values.

Note that if an prior declaration of an identifier is visible then it'll have the pri...
Use the yum command to manage packages in Enterprise Linux-based operating systems:
yum install php
This installs a minimal install of PHP including some common features. If you need additional modules, you will need to install them separately. Once again, you can use yum to search for these pac...

There will be some Objective-c in this example..
We will make a wrapper to C++ in this example, So don't worry to much about it.
First start Xcode and create a project.
And select a Cocoa application

To start, gemfiles require at least one source, in the form of the URL for a RubyGems server.
Generate a Gemfile with the default rubygems.org source by running bundle init. Use https so your connection to the server will be verified with SSL.
source 'https://rubygems.org'
Next, declare the gem...
You can use the header() function to instruct the browser to redirect to a different URL:
$url = 'https://example.org/foo/bar';
if (!headers_sent()) { // check headers - you can not send headers if they already sent
header('Location: ' . $url);
exit; // protects from code being executed afte...
Customizing the Shell prompt

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];

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...
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>...
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.

Imagine that we have a class Math.php with logic of calculating of fiobanacci and factorial numbers. Something like this:
