Add the following to a file named build.xml in your project directory: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project name="HelloWorld" default="main"> <target name="main" description="this is target main"> ...

Add the following target in your build.xml <!-- Bootstrap ivy --> <target name="ivy.bootstrap" description="Download Apache Ivy"> <!-- Define the version to use --> <property name="ivy.version">2.4.0</property> <!-- ...

Properties can be added to a class or struct (technically enums too, see "Computed Properties" example). These add values that associate with instances of classes/structs: class Dog { var name = "" } In the above case, instances of Dog have a property named name of type...

Lazy stored properties have values that are not calculated until first accessed. This is useful for memory saving when the variable's calculation is computationally expensive. You declare a lazy property with lazy: lazy var veryExpensiveVariable = expensiveMethod() Often it is assigned to a retu...

Different from stored properties, computed properties are built with a getter and a setter, performing necessary code when accessed and set. Computed properties must define a type: var pi = 3.14 class Circle { var radius = 0.0 var circumference: Double { get { ret...

Local variables are defined within a function, method, or closure: func printSomething() { let localString = "I'm local!" print(localString) } func printSomethingAgain() { print(localString) // error } Global variables are defined outside of a function, method, or c...

Type properties are properties on the type itself, not on the instance. They can be both stored or computed properties. You declare a type property with static: struct Dog { static var noise = "Bark!" } print(Dog.noise) // Prints "Bark!" In a class, you can use the c...

The following is handy to have in build logs that identifies the build machine, and some parameters; simply make you main task depend on this task to print it before every build. <!-- Print Environment Info --> <target name="environment"> <!-- Get the current ti...

Mathematical operations on values other than numbers return NaN. "a" + 1 "b" * 3 "cde" - "e" [1, 2, 3] * 2 An exception: Single-number arrays. [2] * [3] // Returns 6 Also, remember that the + operator concatenates strings. "a" + "b&...

Generally, Math functions that are given non-numeric arguments will return NaN. Math.floor("a") The square root of a negative number returns NaN, because Math.sqrt does not support imaginary or complex numbers. Math.sqrt(-1)

window.isNaN() The global function isNaN() can be used to check if a certain value or expression evaluates to NaN. This function (in short) first checks if the value is a number, if not tries to convert it (*), and then checks if the resulting value is NaN. For this reason, this testing method may ...

Following ways can be used for joining lists without modifying source list(s). First approach. Has more lines but easy to understand List<String> newList = new ArrayList<String>(); newList.addAll(listOne); newList.addAll(listTwo); Second approach. Has one less line but less readab...

In order to compare the equality of custom classes, you can override == and != by defining __eq__ and __ne__ methods. You can also override __lt__ (<), __le__ (<=), __gt__ (>), and __ge__ (>). Note that you only need to override two comparison methods, and Python can handle the rest (== ...

Output buffering allows you to store any textual content (Text, HTML) in a variable and send to the browser as one piece at the end of your script. By default, php sends your content as it interprets it. <?php // Turn on output buffering ob_start(); // Print some output to the buffer (via...

You can nest output buffers and fetch the level for them to provide different content using the ob_get_level() function. <?php $i = 1; $output = null; while( $i <= 5 ) { // Each loop, creates a new output buffering `level` ob_start(); print "Current nest level: &quo...

In this example, we have an array containing some data. We capture the output buffer in $items_li_html and use it twice in the page. <?php // Start capturing the output ob_start(); $items = ['Home', 'Blog', 'FAQ', 'Contact']; foreach($items as $item): // Note we're about to step &q...

ob_start(); $user_count = 0; foreach( $users as $user ) { if( $user['access'] != 7 ) { continue; } ?> <li class="users user-<?php echo $user['id']; ?>"> <a href="<?php echo $user['link']; ?>"> <?php echo $user...

<?php ob_start(); ?> <html> <head> <title>Example invoice</title> </head> <body> <h1>Invoice #0000</h1> <h2>Cost: £15,000</h2> ... </body> </html> <?php...
