The + symbol can mean three distinct operators in Java: If there is no operand before the +, then it is the unary Plus operator. If there are two operands, and they are both numeric. then it is the binary Addition operator. If there are two operands, and at least one of them is a String, then i...

var person = new Person { Address = null; }; var city = person.Address.City; //throws a NullReferenceException var nullableCity = person.Address?.City; //returns the value of null This effect can be chained together: var person = new Person { Address = new Address { ...

This is placed in a Windows Forms event handler var nameList = new BindingList<string>(); ComboBox1.DataSource = nameList; for(long i = 0; i < 10000; i++ ) { nameList.AddRange(new [] {"Alice", "Bob", "Carol" }); } This takes a long time to execute,...

The JavaScriptSerializer.Deserialize<T>(input) method attempts to deserialize a string of valid JSON into an object of the specified type <T>, using the default mappings natively supported by JavaScriptSerializer. using System.Collections; using System.Web.Script.Serialization; // ....

internal class Sequence{ public string Name; public List<int> Numbers; } // ... string rawJSON = "{\"Name\":\"Fibonacci Sequence\",\"Numbers\":[0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13]}"; Sequence sequence = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Seque...

A normal function declaration looks like this: function foo(){ } A function defined like this is accessible from anywhere within its context by its name. But sometimes it can be useful to treat function references like object references. For example, you can assign an object to a variable based...

There are many ways to create arrays. The most common are to use array literals, or the Array constructor: var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4]; var arr2 = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4); If the Array constructor is used with no arguments, an empty array is created. var arr3 = new Array(); results in: [] Note...

In JavaScript, functions may be anonymously defined using the "arrow" (=>) syntax, which is sometimes referred to as a lambda expression due to Common Lisp similarities. The simplest form of an arrow function has its arguments on the left side of => and the return value on the right...

Start by defining a Foo function that we'll use as a constructor. function Foo (){} By editing Foo.prototype, we can define properties and methods that will be shared by all instances of Foo. Foo.prototype.bar = function() { return 'I am bar'; }; We can then create an instance using the ...

Defining an Anonymous Function When a function is defined, you often give it a name and then invoke it using that name, like so: foo(); function foo(){ // ... } When you define a function this way, the Javascript runtime stores your function in memory and then creates a reference to th...

A list comprehension creates a new list by applying an expression to each element of an iterable. The most basic form is: [ <expression> for <element> in <iterable> ] There's also an optional 'if' condition: [ <expression> for <element> in <iterable> if <c...

A dictionary comprehension is similar to a list comprehension except that it produces a dictionary object instead of a list. A basic example: Python 2.x2.7 {x: x * x for x in (1, 2, 3, 4)} # Out: {1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16} which is just another way of writing: dict((x, x * x) for x in (1, 2...

Generator expressions are very similar to list comprehensions. The main difference is that it does not create a full set of results at once; it creates a generator object which can then be iterated over. For instance, see the difference in the following code: # list comprehension [x**2 for x in r...

Set comprehension is similar to list and dictionary comprehension, but it produces a set, which is an unordered collection of unique elements. Python 2.x2.7 # A set containing every value in range(5): {x for x in range(5)} # Out: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} # A set of even numbers between 1 and 10: {x f...

The addition operator (+) adds numbers. var a = 9, b = 3, c = a + b; c will now be 12 This operand can also be used multiple times in a single assignment: var a = 9, b = 3, c = 8, d = a + b + c; d will now be 20. Both operands are converted to primitive types. ...

The subtraction operator (-) subtracts numbers. var a = 9; var b = 3; var c = a - b; c will now be 6 If a string or boolean is provided in place of a number value, it gets converted to a number before the difference is calculated (0 for false, 1 for true): "5" - 1; // 4 7 - ...

The multiplication operator (*) perform arithmetic multiplication on numbers (literals or variables). console.log( 3 * 5); // 15 console.log(-3 * 5); // -15 console.log( 3 * -5); // -15 console.log(-3 * -5); // 15

The division operator (/) perform arithmetic division on numbers (literals or variables). console.log(15 / 3); // 5 console.log(15 / 4); // 3.75

Exponentiation makes the second operand the power of the first operand (ab). var a = 2, b = 3, c = Math.pow(a, b); c will now be 8 6 Stage 3 ES2016 (ECMAScript 7) Proposal: let a = 2, b = 3, c = a ** b; c will now be 8 Use Math.pow to find the nth root of a number....

Given a list comprehension you can append one or more if conditions to filter values. [<expression> for <element> in <iterable> if <condition>] For each <element> in <iterable>; if <condition> evaluates to True, add <expression> (usually a function...
