This example shows how to use the IBM Watson Speech to Text service to recognize the type of an audio file and produce a transcription of the spoken text in that file. This example requires Speech to Text service credentials and Node.js Install the npm module for the Watson Developer Cloud N...

Performs an explicit conversion into the given type from the value resulting from evaluating the given expression. int x = 3; int y = 4; printf("%f\n", (double)x / y); /* Outputs "0.750000". */ Here the value of x is converted to a double, the division promotes the value of...

Pointer addition Given a pointer and a scalar type N, evaluates into a pointer to the Nth element of the pointed-to type that directly succeeds the pointed-to object in memory. int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; printf("*(arr + 3) = %i\n", *(arr + 3)); /* Outputs "4", arr's fourth e...

The member access operators (dot . and arrow ->) are used to access a member of a struct. Member of object Evaluates into the lvalue denoting the object that is a member of the accessed object. struct MyStruct { int x; int y; }; struct MyStruct myObject; myObject.x = 42; myObj...

The first operand must be a function pointer (a function designator is also acceptable because it will be converted to a pointer to the function), identifying the function to call, and all other operands, if any, are collectively known as the function call's arguments. Evaluates into the return valu...

The X-macro approach can be generalized a bit by making the name of the "X" macro an argument of the master macro. This has the advantages of helping to avoid macro name collisions and of allowing use of a general-purpose macro as the "X" macro. As always with X macros, the mas...

The git check-ignore command reports on files ignored by Git. You can pass filenames on the command line, and git check-ignore will list the filenames that are ignored. For example: $ cat .gitignore *.o $ git check-ignore example.o Readme.md example.o Here, only *.o files are defined in .git...

There are three ways of creating a new branch feature which tracks the remote branch origin/feature: git checkout --track -b feature origin/feature, git checkout -t origin/feature, git checkout feature - assuming that there is no local feature branch and there is only one remote with the featur...

The class name selector select all elements with the targeted class name. For example, the class name .warning would select the following <div> element: <div class="warning"> <p>This would be some warning copy.</p> </div> You can also combine class n...

ID selectors select DOM elements with the targeted ID. To select an element by a specific ID in CSS, the # prefix is used. For example, the following HTML div element… <div id="exampleID"> <p>Example</p> </div> …can be selected by #exampleID in CSS as sho...

URLs for links can be specified later in the document. Markdown [Text1][1] will link to the first link, and [Text2][2] to the second. You [can reuse][1] names, and give longer names [like this one][a link]. You can also link text [like this] without giving the reference an explicit name. [1]:...

Pseudo-classes are keywords which allow selection based on information that lies outside of the document tree or that cannot be expressed by other selectors or combinators. This information can be associated to a certain state (state and dynamic pseudo-classes), to locations (structural and target p...

Creating an empty table is as simple as this: local empty_table = {} You can also create a table in the form of a simple array: local numeric_table = { "Eve", "Jim", "Peter" } -- numeric_table[1] is automatically "Eve", numeric_table[2] is "Ji...

A database snapshot is a read-only, static view of a SQL Server database (the source database). It is similar to backup, but it is available as any other database so client can query snapshot database. CREATE DATABASE MyDatabase_morning -- name of the snapshot ON ( NAME=MyDatabase_data, -- l...

docker run hello-world This will fetch the latest hello-world image from the Docker Hub (if you don't already have it), create a new container, and run it. You should see a message stating that your installation appears to be working correctly.

docker run docker/whalesay cowsay 'Hello, StackExchange!' This command tells Docker to create a container from the docker/whalesay image and run the command cowsay 'Hello, StackExchange!' in it. It should print a picture of a whale saying Hello, StackExchange! to your terminal. If the entrypoin...

Normally, a Docker container persists after it has exited. This allows you to run the container again, inspect its filesystem, and so on. However, sometimes you want to run a container and delete it immediately after it exits. For example to execute a command or show a file from the filesystem. Dock...

In this example we will write a basic program that checks the number of inputs and outputs passed to a MEX-function. As a starting point, we need to create a C++ file implementing the "MEX gateway". This is the function executed when the file is called from MATLAB. testinputs.cpp // Mat...

git add -i (or --interactive) will give you an interactive interface where you can edit the index, to prepare what you want to have in the next commit. You can add and remove changes to whole files, add untracked files and remove files from being tracked, but also select subsection of changes to put...

There are several ways to set which editor to use for committing, rebasing, etc. Change the core.editor configuration setting. $ git config --global core.editor nano Set the GIT_EDITOR environment variable. For one command: $ GIT_EDITOR=nano git commit Or for all commands run in a ...
