The .GetValueOrDefault() method returns a value even if the .HasValue property is false (unlike the Value property, which throws an exception). class Program { static void Main() { int? nullableExample = null; int result = nullableExample.GetValueOrDefault(); C...

When filtering a value that should be an integer filter_var() will return the filtered data, in this case the integer, or false if the value is not an integer. Floats are not integers: var_dump(filter_var('10', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)); var_dump(filter_var('a10', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)); var_dump(filt...

When validating that an integer falls in a range the check includes the minimum and maximum bounds: $options = array( 'options' => array( 'min_range' => 5, 'max_range' => 10, ) ); var_dump(filter_var('5', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, $options)); var_dump(filter_var('...

const auto input = "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think \"I know, I'll use regular expressions.\""s; smatch sm; cout << input << endl; // If input ends in a quotation that contains a word that begins with "reg" and another word begining...

Object arrays are covariant, which means that just as Integer is a subclass of Number, Integer[] is a subclass of Number[]. This may seem intuitive, but can result in surprising behavior: Integer[] integerArray = {1, 2, 3}; Number[] numberArray = integerArray; // valid Number firstElement = numb...

Our randomNumbers() function can be re-written to use a generator. <?php function randomNumbers(int $length) { for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { // yield tells the PHP interpreter that this value // should be the one used in the current iteration. yield mt...

There are only two string operators: Concatenation of two strings (dot): $a = "a"; $b = "b"; $c = $a . $b; // $c => "ab" Concatenating assignment (dot=): $a = "a"; $a .= "b"; // $a => "ab"

Simple check To check if constant is defined use the defined function. Note that this function doesn't care about constant's value, it only cares if the constant exists or not. Even if the value of the constant is null or false the function will still return true. <?php define("GOOD&quo...

Constants are created using the const statement or the define function. The convention is to use UPPERCASE letters for constant names. Define constant using explicit values const PI = 3.14; // float define("EARTH_IS_FLAT", false); // boolean const "UNKNOWN" = null; // null d...

Implementing IErrorHandler for WCF services is a great way to centralize error handling and logging. The implementation shown here should catch any unhandled exception that is thrown as a result of a call to one of your WCF services. Also shown in this example is how to return a custom object, and h...

from django.db import models, IntegerField from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField class IceCream(models.Model): scoops = ArrayField(IntegerField() # we'll use numbers to ID the scoops , size=6) # our parlor only lets you have 6 scoops When you us...

This query returns all cones with either a mint scoop or a vanilla scoop. minty_vanilla_cones = IceCream.objects.filter(scoops__contained_by=[MINT, VANILLA])

Twilio's Node.JS API natively supports promises, allowing you to use promises when sending SMS messages (this example was taken and adapted directly from Twilio's API Docs). // Create an authenticated Twilio REST API client var twilio = require('twilio'); var client = new twilio.RestClient('ACCOU...

Twilio help build apps that communicate with everyone in the world. Voice & Video, Messaging and Authentication APIs for every application. You can get an API key for free. To send a message through Twilio, your application needs to make an HTTP POST request to Twilio with the following things...

The FlagsAttribute should be used whenever the enumerable represents a collection of flags, rather than a single value. The numeric value assigned to each enum value helps when manipulating enums using bitwise operators. Example 1 : With [Flags] [Flags] enum Colors { Red=1, Blue=2, ...

In order to inspect an image, you can use the image ID or the image name, consisting of repository and tag. Say, you have the CentOS 6 base image: ➜ ~ docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE centos centos6 cf2c3...

Parentheses are needed to avoid ambiguity: foo 1 |> bar 2 |> baz 3 Should be written as: foo(1) |> bar(2) |> baz(3)

Stored procedures can be created through a database management GUI (SQL Server example), or through a SQL statement as follows: -- Define a name and parameters CREATE PROCEDURE Northwind.getEmployee @LastName nvarchar(50), @FirstName nvarchar(50) AS -- Define the query to be...

Horizontally vim -o file1.txt file2.txt Vertically vim -O file1.txt file2.txt You may optionally specify the number of splits to open. The following example opens two horizontal splits and loads file3.txt in a buffer: vim -o2 file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
