The effect of using the * operator on an argument when calling a function is that of unpacking the list or a tuple argument def print_args(arg1, arg2): print(str(arg1) + str(arg2)) a = [1,2] b = tuple([3,4]) print_args(*a) # 12 print_args(*b) # 34 Note that the length of the starr...

CSS ul { list-style: none; counter-reset: list-item-number; /* self nesting counter as name is same for all levels */ } li { counter-increment: list-item-number; } li:before { content: counters(list-item-number, ".") " "; /* usage of counters() function means val...

In many other languages, if you run the following (Java example) if("asgdsrf" == 0) { //do stuff } ... you'll get an error. You can't just go comparing strings to integers like that. In Python, this is a perfectly legal statement - it'll just resolve to False. A common gotcha ...

<div tabindex="0">Some button</div> Note: Try to use a native HTML button or an a tag where appropriate.

<button tabindex="-1">This button will not be reachable by tab</button> The element will be removed from the tabbing order but will still be focusable.

<div tabindex="2">Second</div> <div tabindex="1">First</div> Positive values will insert the element at the tabbing order position of its respective value. Elements without preference (i.e. tabindex="0" or native elements such as button and a...

We can optimize a simple xor function for only architectures that support unaligned reads/writes by creating two files that define the function and prefixing them with a build constraint (for an actual example of the xor code which is out of scope here, see crypto/cipher/xor.go in the standard libra...

The spacing should be even and uniform throughout. Improper indentation can cause an IndentationError or cause the program to do something unexpected. The following example raises an IndentationError: a = 7 if a > 5: print "foo" else: print "bar" print "done&qu...

This method gets the user agent and parses it to find the browser. The browser name and version are extracted from the user agent through a regex. Based on these two, the <browser name> <version> is returned. The four conditional blocks following the user agent matching code are meant t...

PREPARE prepares a statement for execution EXECUTE executes a prepared statement DEALLOCATE PREPARE releases a prepared statement SET @s = 'SELECT SQRT(POW(?,2) + POW(?,2)) AS hypotenuse'; PREPARE stmt2 FROM @s; SET @a = 6; SET @b = 8; EXECUTE stmt2 USING @a, @b; Result: +------------+ |...

#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { result = EXIT_SUCCESS; char file_name[] = "outbut.bin"; char str[] = "This is a binary file example"; FILE * fp = fopen(file_name, "wb"); if (fp == NULL) /* If an erro...

Stanford CoreNLP is a popular Natural Language Processing toolkit supporting many core NLP tasks. To download and install the program, either download a release package and include the necessary *.jar files in your classpath, or add the dependency off of Maven central. See the download page for mor...

Whitespace is handled by the lexical analyzer before being parsed. The lexical analyzer uses a stack to store indentation levels. At the beginning, the stack contains just the value 0, which is the leftmost position. Whenever a nested block begins, the new indentation level is pushed on the stack, ...

Racket functions can also have keyword arguments, which are specified with a keyword followed by the argument expression. A keyword begins with the characters #:, so a keyword argument looks like #:keyword arg-expr. Within a function call this looks like (function #:keyword arg-expr). > (define ...

Components are simply instances that implement the Ashley component class. import com.badlogic.ashley.core.Component; import com.badlogic.ashley.core.ComponentMapper; public class Position implements Component { public static final ComponentMapper<Position> Map = ...

Entity systems are how you perform functional operations on sets of entities. Components should typically not have logic associated with them that involves awareness of data or state of other component instances, as that is the job of an entity system. An entity system can not be registered to mor...

The IEnumerable<T> interface has a single method, GetEnumerator(), which returns an IEnumerator<T>. While the yield keyword can be used to directly create an IEnumerable<T>, it can also be used in exactly the same way to create an IEnumerator<T>. The only thing that changes ...

Some languages include a list data structure. Common Lisp, and other languages in the Lisp family, make extensive use of lists (and the name Lisp is based on the idea of a LISt Processor). However, Common Lisp doesn't actually include a primitive list datatype. Instead, lists exist by convention....

5.1 JavaScript does not directly support enumerators but the functionality of an enum can be mimicked. // Prevent the enum from being changed const TestEnum = Object.freeze({ One:1, Two:2, Three:3 }); // Define a variable with a value from the enum var x = TestEnum.Two; // Prin...

For example, if t1 is currently not an InnoDB table, this statement changes its storage engine to InnoDB: ALTER TABLE t1 ENGINE = InnoDB; If the table is already InnoDB, this will rebuild the table and its indexes and have an effect similar to OPTIMIZE TABLE. You may gain some disk space improv...
