We can create Singleton class in such a way that developers are forced to used the shared instance (singleton object) instead of creating their own instances. @implementation MySingletonClass + (instancetype)sharedInstance { static MySingletonClass *_sharedInstance = nil; static dispa...

Let's say we have the following 4 by 4 grid: Let's assume that this is a maze. There are no walls/obstacles, though. We only have a starting point (the green square), and an ending point (the red square). Let's also assume that in order to get from green to red, we cannot move diagonally. So, s...

Here we are sharing some minimal workflow to build and publish an Angular 2+ npm package. Configuration files We need some config files to tell git, npm, gulp and typescript how to act. .gitignore First we create a .gitignore file to avoid versioning unwanted files and folders. The content is: ...

Steps: clone the gradle-script-kotlin project copy/paste from the cloned project to your project: build.gradle.kts gradlew gradlew.bat settings.gradle update the content of the build.gradle.kts based on your needs, you can use as inspiration the scripts in the project just clo...

A loop will execute as long as its condition remains true, but you can stop it manually using the break keyword. For example: var peopleArray = ["John", "Nicole", "Thomas", "Richard", "Brian", "Novak", "Vick", "Amanda",...

A single entry point to your application is possible with RequireJS by using the data-main attributed within the <script> tag. <script type="text/javascript" data-main="scripts/main" src="http://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.3.2/minified/require.js"></scr...

Not all libraries are defined in a way that is compatible with AMD and RequireJS's define() function. The author's have addressed this by including a shim directive for configuring those dependencies. One example is using the jQuery UI Layout Plugin. That plugin depends on jQuery. You can configu...

As of Ruby 2.4.0, you can start an interactive IRB session inside any Ruby script using these lines: require 'irb' binding.irb This will start an IBR REPL where you will have the expected value for self and you will be able to access all local variables and instance variables that are in scope....

SWIFT: Getting an instance of UIStoryboard programmatically can be done as follows: let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil) where: name => the name of the storyboard without the extension bundle => the bundle containing the storyboard file and its relate...

RTL (Right-to-left) support is an essential part in planning for i18n and L10n. Unlike English language which is written from left to right, many languages like Arabic, Japanese, Hebrew, etc. are written from right to left. To appeal to a more global audience, it is a good idea to plan your layouts ...

Starting SDK 17 (Android 4.2), RTL support was added in Android layouts and is an essential part of localization. Going forward, the left/right notation in layouts should be replaced by start/end notation. If, however, your project has a minSdk value less than 17, then both left/right and start/end ...

To test if the layouts that have been created are RTL compatible, do the following : Go to Settings -> Developer options -> Drawing -> Force RTL layout direction Enabling this option would force the device to use RTL locales and you can easily verify all parts of the app for RTL suppo...

The first step for coding for localization is to create default resources. This step is so implicit that many developers do not even think about it. However, creating default resources is important because if the device runs on an unsupported locale, it would load all of its resources from the defau...

To provide translations in other languages (locales), we need to create a strings.xml in a separate folder by the following convention : res/values-<locale>/strings.xml An example for the same is given below: In this example, we have default English strings in the file res/values/string...

Creating language specific layouts is often unnecessary if you have specified the correct start/end notation, as described in the earlier example. However, there may be situations where the defaults layouts may not work correctly for certain languages. Sometimes, left-to-right layouts may not transl...

First method - Concatenation of strings The simplest method to plot multiple data files is to insert a for loop inside the plot command of gnuplot. Assuming you have N files named sequently, i.e. file_1.dat file_2.dat file_3.dat ... file_N.dat Executing the command plot for[i = 1:N] &quot...
