Elm defines the following special type variables that have a particular meaning to the compiler: comparable: Comprised of Int, Float, Char, String and tuples thereof. This allows the use of the < and > operators. Example: You could define a function to find the smallest and largest eleme...

Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is a framework for writing programs that execute on CPUs, GPUs, and other parallel processors and accelerators. OpenCL specifies a programming language (based on C) that provides access to named on-chip memory, a model for executing tasks in parallel, and the abilit...

There is no single command to rename a MySQL database but a simple workaround can be used to achieve this by backing up and restoring: mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <new name> mysqldump -uroot -p<password> --routines <old name> | mysql -uroot -pmypassword <new na...

The following commands can be used to swap the names of two MySQL databases (<db1> and <db2>): mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create swaptemp mysqldump -uroot -p<password> --routines <db1> | mysql -uroot -p<password> swaptemp mysqladmin -uroot -p<password&gt...

Renaming a table can be done in a single command: RENAME TABLE `<old name>` TO `<new name>`; The following syntax does exactly the same: ALTER TABLE `<old name>` RENAME TO `<new name>`; If renaming a temporary table, the ALTER TABLE version of the syntax must be used....

Renaming a column can be done in a single statement but as well as the new name, the "column definition" (i.e. its data type and other optional properties such as nullability, auto incrementing etc.) must also be specified. ALTER TABLE `<table name>` CHANGE `<old name>` `<n...

Lets create a simple transformation to convert a CSV into an XML file. Our Transformation has to do the following: Read the CSV file Build the greetings message Save the greetings in the XML file Create a Transformation: Here's how to start the Transformation: To the left of the works...

Pentaho Data Integration comes in two varieties: Community Edition (CE) - Free version for developers Enterprise Edition (EE) - Paid version for enterprise use Installation steps: You can download Pentaho Data Integration Community Edition from Sourceforge.net. For the Enterprise Editio...

Sometimes when working with linear regression we need to check for non-linearity in the data. One way to do this is to fit a polynomial model and check whether it fits the data better than a linear model. There are other reasons, such as theoretical, that indicate to fit a quadratic or higher order ...

This example demonstrates how pointers can be used for C-like access to C# arrays. unsafe { var buffer = new int[1024]; fixed (int* p = &buffer[0]) { for (var i = 0; i < buffer.Length; i++) { *(p + i) = i; } } } The unsafe keyw...

Addition and subtraction in pointers works differently from integers. When a pointer is incremented or decremented, the address it points to is increased or decreased by the size of the referent type. For example, the type int (alias for System.Int32) has a size of 4. If an int can be stored in add...

In C and C++, the asterisk in the declaration of a pointer variable is part of the expression being declared. In C#, the asterisk in the declaration is part of the type. In C, C++ and C#, the following snippet declares an int pointer: int* a; In C and C++, the following snippet declares an int ...

C# inherits from C and C++ the usage of void* as a type-agnostic and size-agnostic pointer. void* ptr; Any pointer type can be assigned to void* using an implicit conversion: int* p1 = (int*)IntPtr.Zero; void* ptr = p1; The reverse requires an explicit conversion: int* p1 = (int*)IntPtr.Ze...

C# inherits from C and C++ the usage of the symbol -> as a means of accessing the members of an instance through a typed pointer. Consider the following struct: struct Vector2 { public int X; public int Y; } This is an example of the usage of -> to access its members: Vector2...

The criteria that a type must satisfy in order to support pointers (see Remarks) cannot be expressed in terms of generic constraints. Therefore, any attempt to declare a pointer to a type provided through a generic type parameter will fail. void P<T>(T obj) where T : struct { T* p...

So, you have completed installation it's time now to Run you program with it. Netbeans has created a shortcut to your desktop, "Double click" that to open the IDE. To Create a new project 1. Click this button OR Goto: files >> New Project then this window will popup Select...

Digital hardware is built from two types of hardware primitives: Combinatorial gates (inverters, and, or, xor, 1-bit full adders, 1-bit multiplexers...) These logic gates perform a simple boolean computation on their inputs and produce an output. Each time one of their inputs changes, they st...

This example is the second of a series of 3. If you didn't yet, please read the Block diagram example first. With a block diagram that complies with the 10 rules (see the Block diagram example), the VHDL coding becomes straightforward: the large surrounding rectangle becomes the VHDL entity,...

This example is directly derived from John Cooley’s design contest at SNUG’95 (Synopsys Users Group meeting). The contest was intended to oppose VHDL and Verilog designers on the same design problem. What John had in mind was probably to determine what language was the most efficient. The result...
