import re precompiled_pattern = re.compile(r"(\d+)") matches = precompiled_pattern.search("The answer is 41!") matches.group(1) # Out: 41 matches = precompiled_pattern.search("Or was it 42?") matches.group(1) # Out: 42 Compiling a pattern allows it to be r...

Generators can be used to represent infinite sequences: def integers_starting_from(n): while True: yield n n += 1 natural_numbers = integers_starting_from(1) Infinite sequence of numbers as above can also be generated with the help of itertools.count. The above code cou...

The built-in function len returns the number of elements in a map m := map[string]int{} len(m) // 0 m["foo"] = 1 len(m) // 1 If a variable points to a nil map, then len returns 0. var m map[string]int len(m) // 0

Given the flavors, the named capture group may looks like this: (?'name'X) (?<name>X) (?P<name>X) With X being the pattern you want to capture. Let's consider the following string: Once upon a time there was a pretty little girl... Once upon a time there was a unicorn with an h...

As you may (or not) know, you can reference a capture group with: $1 1 being the group number. In the same way, you can reference a named capture group with: ${name} \{name} g\{name} Let's take the preceding example and replace the matches with The hero of the story is a ${subject}. T...

A reference cycle (or retain cycle) is so named because it indicates a cycle in the object graph: Each arrow indicates one object retaining another (a strong reference). Unless the cycle is broken, the memory for these objects will never be freed. A retain cycle is created when two instances of ...

In a normal string, the backslash character is the escape character, which instructs the compiler to look at the next character(s) to determine the actual character in the string. (Full list of character escapes) In verbatim strings, there are no character escapes (except for "" which is ...

In functions taking callable as an argument, you can also put a string with PHP built-in function. It's common to use trim as array_map parameter to remove leading and trailing whitespace from all strings in the array. $arr = [' one ', 'two ', ' three']; var_dump(array_map('trim', $arr)); ...

BuildConfigField Gradle allows buildConfigField lines to define constants. These constants will be accessible at runtime as static fields of the BuildConfig class. This can be used to create flavors by defining all fields within the defaultConfig block, then overriding them for individual build fla...

public struct Vector { public int X; public int Y; public int Z; } public struct Point { public decimal x, y; public Point(decimal pointX, decimal pointY) { x = pointX; y = pointY; } } struct instance fields can be set via a p...

Assuming the following Person class: public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } The following lambda: p => p.Age > 18 Can be passed as an argument to both methods: public void AsFunc(Func<Person, bool> func) public void AsE...

You can combine object initializers with constructors to initialize types if necessary. Take for example a class defined as such: public class Book { public string Title { get; set; } public string Author { get; set; } public Book(int id) { //do things } // the...

length counts the occurences of elements a in a foldable structure t a. ghci> length [7, 2, 9] -- t ~ [] 3 ghci> length (Right 'a') -- t ~ Either e 1 -- 'Either e a' may contain zero or one 'a' ghci> length (Left "foo") -- t ~ Either String 0 ghci> length (3, True) ...

Any fold can be run in the opposite direction with the help of the Dual monoid, which flips an existing monoid so that aggregation goes backwards. newtype Dual a = Dual { getDual :: a } instance Monoid m => Monoid (Dual m) where mempty = Dual mempty (Dual x) `mappend` (Dual y) = Dua...

To instantiate Foldable you need to provide a definition for at least foldMap or foldr. data Tree a = Leaf | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a) instance Foldable Tree where foldMap f Leaf = mempty foldMap f (Node l x r) = foldMap f l `mappend` f x `mappend` foldMap f r fo...

Implementations of traverse usually look like an implementation of fmap lifted into an Applicative context. data Tree a = Leaf | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a) instance Traversable Tree where traverse f Leaf = pure Leaf traverse f (Node l x r) = Node <$> traverse f l <*...
