Classes implementing Iterable<> interface can be used in for loops. This is actually only syntactic sugar for getting an iterator from the object and using it to get all elements sequentially; it makes code clearer, faster to write end less error-prone. public class UsingIterable { pub...

To create your own Iterable as with any interface you just implement the abstract methods in the interface. For Iterable there is only one which is called iterator().

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...

Variables can be accessed via dynamic variable names. The name of a variable can be stored in another variable, allowing it to be accessed dynamically. Such variables are known as variable variables. To turn a variable into a variable variable, you put an extra $ put in front of your variable. $va...

Anonymous functions can be assigned to variables for use as parameters where a callback is expected: $uppercase = function($data) { return strtoupper($data); }; $mixedCase = ["Hello", "World"]; $uppercased = array_map($uppercase, $mixedCase); print_r($uppercased); ...

The use construct is used to import variables into the anonymous function's scope: $divisor = 2332; $myfunction = function($number) use ($divisor) { return $number / $divisor; }; echo $myfunction(81620); //Outputs 35 Variables can also be imported by reference: $collection = []; $a...

A single case in a switch statement can match on multiple values. let number = 3 switch number { case 1, 2: print("One or Two!") case 3: print("Three!") case 4, 5, 6: print("Four, Five or Six!") default: print("Not One, Two, Three, Four, F...

var x = true, y = false; AND This operator will return true if both of the expressions evaluate to true. This boolean operator will employ short-circuiting and will not evaluate y if x evaluates to false. x && y; This will return false, because y is false. OR This operator wil...

Using the def statement is the most common way to define a function in python. This statement is a so called single clause compound statement with the following syntax: def function_name(parameters): statement(s) function_name is known as the identifier of the function. Since a function def...

import random shuffle() You can use random.shuffle() to mix up/randomize the items in a mutable and indexable sequence. For example a list: laughs = ["Hi", "Ho", "He"] random.shuffle(laughs) # Shuffles in-place! Don't do: laughs = random.shuffle(laughs) p...
