XSD schema (schema.xsd) The following xml schema (xsd) defines a list of users with attributes name and reputation. <?xml version="1.0"?> <xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns="http://www...

Review Partial Application before proceeding. In Haskell, a function that can take other functions as arguments or return functions is called a higher-order function. The following are all higher-order functions: map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] ...

Lets say we have a class Classy that has property Propertua public class Classy { public string Propertua {get; set;} } to set Propertua using reflection: var typeOfClassy = typeof (Classy); var classy = new Classy(); var prop = typeOfClassy.GetProperty("Propertua"); prop.Se...

When editing text, a common task is to navigate to a particular word on the screen. In these examples we explore how we can navigate to the word updated. For the sake of consistency across the examples, we aim to land on the first letter of the word. Mid-screen jump M$B This approach is quick...

An example of code showing how nodes can be inserted at a doubly linked list, how the list can easily be reversed, and how it can be printed in reverse. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> /* This data is not always stored in a structure, but it is sometimes for ease of use */ s...

Every tag has an overview topic. This topic has a special section named "Versions". In that section, different versions can be defined in a table that has that should have at least 2 columns: the first one should be the name of the version the last one should be the release ...

For some tags it makes sense to have multiple version tables. There might be different subsets of a programming language or framework available, say for different device types as in this example. The different tables should be prefaced with a heading. This markup: ## desktop development kit ## ...

A topic might only apply to certain versions. When creating a new topic, the appropriate versions can be chosen in the title section of the topic. In the following example .NET 2.0, 4.0, 4.5.1; Compact Framework 3.7 and Micro Framework 4.2 are selected. This selection will show up next to the to...

An example cannot be associated with a version number directly. Parts of it can however be declared to apply only for certain versions. <!-- if version [eq Java SE 1.3] --> This content is for Java SE 1.3 <!-- end version if -->

If there are many version tables, the title of the desired one has to be included in angle brackets. <!-- if version <Micro Framework> [eq 4.4] --> This content is for Micro Framework 4.4 <!-- end version if -->

The markdown help states Available conditionals are gt, gte, lt, lte, eq, and neq. <!-- if version [eq C++03] --> eq equal to <!-- end version if --> <!-- if version [neq C++03] --> neq not equal to <!-- end version if --> <!-- if version [gt C++03] -...

Multiple conditions can be used. <!-- if version [lte 1.2.0] [gt 1.3.12] [gt 1.4.9] [neq 1.2.0] [eq 1.5.7] --> content <!-- end version if -->

POSIX thread library provides implementation of the mutex primitive, used for the mutual exclusion. Mutex is created using pthread_mutex_init, and destroyed using pthread_mutex_destroy. Obtaining a mutex can be done using pthread_mutex_lock or pthread_mutex_trylock, (depending if the timeout is desi...

The command :g/apples/y A will yank all lines containing the word apples into the a register, which can be pasted with "ap. Any regular expression can be used. Note the space before the A, and the capitalization of the register letter. If a capital letter is used as the yank register, matc...

Returns a Unicode string surrounded by delimiters to make it a valid SQL Server delimited identifier. Parameters: character string. A string of Unicode data, up to 128 characters (sysname). If an input string is longer than 128 characters function returns null. quote character. Optional. A sing...

pmap takes a function (that you specify) and applies it to all of the elements in an array. This work is divided up amongst the available workers. pmap then returns places the results from that function into another array. addprocs(3) sqrts = pmap(sqrt, 1:10) if you function takes multiple ar...

@parallel can be used to parallellize a loop, dividing steps of the loop up over different workers. As a very simple example: addprocs(3) a = collect(1:10) for idx = 1:10 println(a[idx]) end For a slightly more complex example, consider: @time begin @sync begin @paral...

The macros @spawn and @spawnat are two of the tools that Julia makes available to assign tasks to workers. Here is an example: julia> @spawnat 2 println("hello world") RemoteRef{Channel{Any}}(2,1,3) julia> From worker 2: hello world Both of these macros will evaluate an ex...

The Julia documentation advises that pmap() is designed for the case where each function call does a large amount of work. In contrast, @parallel for can handle situations where each iteration is tiny, perhaps merely summing two numbers. There are several reasons for this. First, pmap incurs ...

According to the documentation under ?@async, "@async wraps an expression in a Task." What this means is that for whatever falls within its scope, Julia will start this task running but then proceed to whatever comes next in the script without waiting for the task to complete. Thus, for...
