def numberOrCharacterSwitch(toggleNumber: Boolean)(number: Int)(character: Char): String = if (toggleNumber) number.toString else character.toString // need to explicitly specify the type of the parameter to be curried // resulting function signature Boolean => String val switchBetween3A...

def minus(left: Int, right: Int) = left - right val numberMinus5 = minus(_: Int, 5) val fiveMinusNumber = minus(5, _: Int) numberMinus5(7) // 2 fiveMinusNumber(7) // -2

To create a collection of n copies of some object x, use the fill method. This example creates a List, but this can work with other collections for which fill makes sense: // List.fill(n)(x) scala > List.fill(3)("Hello World") res0: List[String] = List(Hello World, Hello World, Hello...

Partial functions are very common in idiomatic Scala. They are often used for their convenient case-based syntax to define total functions over traits: sealed trait SuperType // `sealed` modifier allows inheritance within current build-unit only case object A extends SuperType case object B exten...

For...Next loop is used for repeating the same action for a finite number of times. The statements inside the following loop will be executed 11 times. The first time, i will have the value 0, the second time it will have the value 1, the last time it will have the value 10. For i As Integer = 0 To...

Some JavaScript engines (for example, the current version of Node.js and older versions of Chrome before Ignition+turbofan) don't run the optimizer on functions that contain a try/catch block. If you need to handle exceptions in performance-critical code, it can be faster in some cases to keep the ...

This demonstrates how to print each element of a Map val map = Map(1 -> "a", 2 -> "b") for (number <- map) println(number) // prints (1,a), (2,b) for ((key, value) <- map) println(value) // prints a, b This demonstrates how to print each element of a list val l...

The Scala compiler will automatically convert methods into function values for the purpose of passing them into higher-order functions. object MyObject { def mapMethod(input: Int): String = { int.toString } } Seq(1, 2, 3).map(MyObject.mapMethod) // Seq("1", "2", &...

using System.Runtime.InteropServices; class PInvokeExample { [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] public static extern uint MessageBox(IntPtr hWnd, String text, String caption, int options); public static void test() { MessageBox(IntPtr.Zero,...

If you want to check that a string contains only a certain set of characters, in this case a-z, A-Z and 0-9, you can do so like this, import re def is_allowed(string): characherRegex = re.compile(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9.]') string = characherRegex.search(string) return not bool(string) ...

Any text following a " character on the same line is commented out: DATA ls_booking TYPE flightb. " Commented text

The * character comments out an entire line. The * must be the first character in the line. * DATA ls_booking TYPE flightb. Nothing on this line will be executed.

ggplot2 works best with a long data frame. The following sample data which represents the prices for sweets on 20 different days, in a format described as wide, because each category has a column. set.seed(47) sweetsWide <- data.frame(date = 1:20, chocolate = run...

Letters 3.0 let letters = CharacterSet.letters let phrase = "Test case" let range = phrase.rangeOfCharacter(from: letters) // range will be nil if no letters is found if let test = range { print("letters found") } else { print("letters not found") }...

Java doesn't provide a direct method in java.util.Arrays to remove an element from an array. To perform it, you can either copy the original array to a new one without the element to remove or convert your array to another structure allowing the removal. Using ArrayList You can convert the array t...

Because collections are typically covariant in their element type*, a collection of a subtype may be passed where a super type is expected: trait Animal { def name: String } case class Dog(name: String) extends Animal object Animal { def printAnimalNames(animals: Seq[Animal]) = { anima...

Java provides specialized Streams for three types of primitives IntStream (for ints), LongStream (for longs) and DoubleStream (for doubles). Besides being optimized implementations for their respective primitives, they also provide several specific terminal methods, typically for mathematical operat...

The if construct (called a block IF statement in FORTRAN 77) is common across many programming languages. It conditionally executes one block of code when a logical expression is evaluated to true. [name:] IF (expr) THEN block [ELSE IF (expr) THEN [name] block] [ELSE [name] block] ...

Suppose you have a simple Customer model: class Customer(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) is_premium = models.BooleanField(default=False) You register it in the Django admin and add search field by first_name...

With Calendar class it is easy to find AM or PM. Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(new Date()); if (cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.PM) System.out.println("It is PM");
