Ruby has an or-equals operator that allows a value to be assigned to a variable if and only if that variable evaluates to either nil or false. ||= # this is the operator that achieves this. this operator with the double pipes representing or and the equals sign representing assigning of a valu...

You have to point Gradle to the location of your plugins so Gradle can find them. Do this by adding a repositories { ... } to your build.gradle. Here's an example of adding three repositories, JCenter, Maven Repository, and a custom repository that offers dependencies in Maven style. repositories...

This example shows how to open a default dialer (an app that makes regular calls) with a provided telephone number already in place: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL); intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:9988776655")); //Replace with valid phone number. Remember to add the tel: pr...

Rules for creating a dictionary: Every key must be unique (otherwise it will be overridden) Every key must be hashable (can use the hash function to hash it; otherwise TypeError will be thrown) There is no particular order for the keys. # Creating and populating it with values stock = {'egg...

def foobar(foo=None, bar=None): return "{}{}".format(foo, bar) values = {"foo": "foo", "bar": "bar"} foobar(**values) # "foobar"

x = 5 x += 7 for x in iterable: pass Each of the above statements is a binding occurrence - x become bound to the object denoted by 5. If this statement appears inside a function, then x will be function-local by default. See the "Syntax" section for a list of binding statements. ...

To play audio using the Web Audio API, we need to get an ArrayBuffer of audio data and pass it to a BufferSource for playback. To get an audio buffer of the sound to play, you need to use the AudioContext.decodeAudioData method like so: const audioCtx = new (window.AudioContext || window.webkitAud...

This example shows how to use two audio sources, and alter one of them based on the other. In this case we create an audio Ducker, that will lower the volume of the primary track if the secondary track produces sound. The ScriptProcessorNode will send regular events to its audioprocess handler. In ...

const int a = 0; /* This variable is "unmodifiable", the compiler should throw an error when this variable is changed */ int b = 0; /* This variable is modifiable */ b += 10; /* Changes the value of 'b' */ a += 10; /* Throws a compiler error */ The const qualif...

Using vanilla mathematics: var from:Point = new Point(300, 10); var to:Point = new Point(75, 40); var a:Number = to.x - from.x; var b:Number = to.y - from.y; var distance:Number = Math.sqrt(a * a + b * b); Using inbuilt functionality of Point: var distance:Number = to.subtract(from).len...

var degrees:Number = radians * 180 / Math.PI;

var radians:Number = degrees / 180 * Math.PI;

A whole circle is 360 degrees or Math.PI * 2 radians. Half of those values follows to be 180 degrees or Math.PI radians. A quarter is then 90 degrees or Math.PI / 2 radians. To get a segment as a percentage of a whole circle in radians: function getSegment(percent:Number):Number { retur...

Sometimes you may only need to simulate an event with two outcomes, maybe with different probabilities, but you may find yourself in a situation that calls for many possible outcomes with different probabilities. Let's imagine you want to simulate an event that has six equally probable outcomes. T...

A While loop starts by evaluating a condition. If it is true, the body of the loop is executed. After the body of the loop is executed, the While condition is evaluated again to determine whether to re-execute the body. Dim iteration As Integer = 1 While iteration <= 10 Console.Writeline(ite...

2.3-2.3.2 An enclosing CoordinatorLayout can be used to achieve Material Design Scrolling Effects when using inner layouts that support Nested Scrolling, such as NestedScrollView or RecyclerView. For this example: app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" is used in the Toolbar pro...

Any time you instantiate a class that Implements IDisposable, you should call .Dispose1 on that class when you have finished using it. This allows the class to clean up any managed or unmanaged dependencies that it may be using. Not doing this could cause a memory leak. The Using keyword ensures th...

One should have in mind that: Angular's data binding relies on JavaScript’s prototypal inheritance, thus it's subject to variable shadowing. A child scope normally prototypically inherits from its parent scope. One exception to this rule is a directive which has an isolated scope as it doesn't p...
