In most scripting languages, if a function call fails, it may throw an exception and stop execution of the program. Bash commands do not have exceptions, but they do have exit codes. A non-zero exit code signals failure, however, a non-zero exit code will not stop execution of the program. This can...

The behaviour of virtual functions in constructors and destructors is often confusing when first encountered. #include <iostream> using namespace std; class base { public: base() { f("base constructor"); } ~base() { f("base destructor"); } virtual co...

Principal Component Analysis finds sequences of linear combinations of the features. The first linear combination maximizes the variance of the features (subject to a unit constraint). Each of the following linear combinations maximizes the variance of the features in the subspace orthogonal to that...

We can use the class DateInterval to add or subtract some interval in a DateTime object. See the example below, where we are adding an interval of 7 days and printing a message on the screen: $now = new DateTime();// empty argument returns the current date $interval = new DateInterval('P7D');//th...

Standard DateTime Formatting DateTimeForma­tInfo specifies a set of specifiers for simple date and time formating. Every specifier correspond to a particular DateTimeFormatInfo format pattern. //Create datetime DateTime dt = new DateTime(2016,08,01,18,50,23,230); var t = String.Format("{0...

Any nullable type is a generic type. And any nullable type is a value type. There are some tricks which allow to effectively use the result of the Nullable.GetUnderlyingType method when creating code related to reflection/code-generation purposes: public static class TypesHelper { public stat...

NSArray *a = @[@1]; a = [a arrayByAddingObject:@2]; a = [a arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray:@[@3, @4, @5]]; These methods are optimized to recreate the new array very efficiently, usually without having to destroy the original array or even allocate more memory.

You can set a ColdFusion variable using the <cfset> tag. To output the variable, you need to surround the variable name with hash # symbols and enclose it within <cfoutput> tags. <cfset variablename="World!"> <cfoutput> Hello #variablename# </cfoutput>...

You can check if a variable has been defined in a scope by using ColdFusion's built in StructKeyExists() function. This can be used inside a <cfif> tag to prevent error messages in the event you attempt to refer to a variable that does not exist. You can also use this function to determine whe...

public class Producer { private static Random random = new Random((int)DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks); //produce the value that will be posted to buffer block public double Produce ( ) { var value = random.NextDouble(); Console.WriteLine($"Producing value: {value}...

We can draw a connection between the Haskell types and the natural numbers. This connection can be made assigning to every type the number of inhabitants it has. Finite union types For finite types, it suffices to see that we can assign a natural type to every number, based in the number of constr...

Lists Lists can be defined as: data List a = Nil | Cons a (List a) If we translate this into our type algebra, we get List(a) = 1 + a * List(a) But we can now substitute List(a) again in this expression multiple times, in order to get: List(a) = 1 + a + a*a + a*a*a + a*a*a*a + ... ...

The derivative of a type is the type of its type of one-hole contexts. This is the type that we would get if we make a type variable disappear in every possible point and sum the results. As an example, we can take the triple type (a,a,a), and derive it, obtaining data OneHoleContextsOfTriple = (a...

You can, of course, return lists from subs: sub foo { my @list1 = ( 1, 2, 3 ); my @list2 = ( 4, 5 ); return ( @list1, @list2 ); } my @list = foo(); print @list; # 12345 But it is not the recommended way to do that unless you know what you are doing. While th...
