A syntactic extension that lets you write \case in place of \arg -> case arg of. Consider the following function definition: dayOfTheWeek :: Int -> String dayOfTheWeek 0 = "Sunday" dayOfTheWeek 1 = "Monday" dayOfTheWeek 2 = "Tuesday" dayOfTheWeek 3 = "W...

:root { --red: #b00; --blue: #4679bd; --grey: #ddd; } .Bx1 { color: var(--red); background: var(--grey); border: 1px solid var(--red); }

:root { --W200: 200px; --W10: 10px; } .Bx2 { width: var(--W200); height: var(--W200); margin: var(--W10); }

Suppose we have a list of teams, named like this: Team A, Team B, ..., Team Z. Then: Team [AB]: This will match either either Team A or Team B Team [^AB]: This will match any team except Team A or Team B We often need to match characters that "belong" together in some context or ano...

Using subprocess.Popen give more fine-grained control over launched processes than subprocess.call. Launching a subprocess process = subprocess.Popen([r'C:\path\to\app.exe', 'arg1', '--flag', 'arg']) The signature for Popen is very similar to the call function; however, Popen will return immedi...

The only time the garbage collector is needed is if you have a reference cycle. The simples example of a reference cycle is one in which A refers to B and B refers to A, while nothing else refers to either A or B. Neither A or B are accessible from anywhere in the program, so they can safely be dest...

Python is a hybrid interpreter. When running a program, it first assembles it into bytecode which can then be run in the Python interpreter (also called a Python virtual machine). The dis module in the standard library can be used to make the Python bytecode human-readable by disassembling classes, ...

To disassemble a Python module, first this has to be turned into a .pyc file (Python compiled). To do this, run python -m compileall <file>.py Then in an interpreter, run import dis import marshal with open("<file>.pyc", "rb") as code_f: code_f.read(8) # M...

The iloc (short for integer location) method allows to select the rows of a dataframe based on their position index. This way one can slice dataframes just like one does with Python's list slicing. df = pd.DataFrame([[11, 22], [33, 44], [55, 66]], index=list("abc")) df # Out: # 0...

Elixir comes with integers and floating point numbers. An integer literal can be written in decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal formats. iex> x = 291 291 iex> x = 0b100100011 291 iex> x = 0o443 291 iex> x = 0x123 291 As Elixir uses bignum arithmetic, the range of int...

The Number constructor has some built in constants that can be useful Number.MAX_VALUE; // 1.7976931348623157e+308 Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER; // 9007199254740991 Number.MIN_VALUE; // 5e-324 Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER; // -9007199254740991 Number.EPSILON; // 0.000...

When adding indented code blocks inside a list you first need a blank line, then to indent the code further. Different flavours of Markdown have different rules for this. StackExchange requires code to be indented by 8 characters instead of the usual 4. (Spaces replaced with * for clarity): 1...
