To search for a string inside a string, there are several functions: indexOf( searchString ) and lastIndexOf( searchString ) indexOf() will return the index of the first occurrence of searchString in the string. If searchString is not found, then -1 is returned. var string = "Hello, World!&q...

Sometimes it is useful to have multiple validations use one condition. It can be easily achieved using with_options. class User < ApplicationRecord with_options if: :is_admin? do |admin| admin.validates :password, length: { minimum: 10 } admin.validates :email, presence: true end...

This type of association allows an ActiveRecord model to belong to more than one kind of model record. Common example: class Human < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :address, :as => :addressable end class Company < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :address, :as => :addressable end cl...

The idea here is to move the computationally intensive jobs to C (using special macros), independent of Python, and have the C code release the GIL while it's working. #include "Python.h" ... PyObject *pyfunc(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { ... Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS //...

One of the uses of recursion is to navigate through a hierarchical data structure, like a file system directory tree, without knowing how many levels the tree has or the number of objects on each level. In this example, you will see how to use recursion on a directory tree to find all sub-directorie...

It is a good idea to maintain a web-scraping session to persist the cookies and other parameters. Additionally, it can result into a performance improvement because requests.Session reuses the underlying TCP connection to a host: import requests with requests.Session() as session: # all req...

You can use the star * when writing a function to collect all positional (ie. unnamed) arguments in a tuple: def print_args(farg, *args): print("formal arg: %s" % farg) for arg in args: print("another positional arg: %s" % arg) Calling method: print_args(1, &...

You can define a function that takes an arbitrary number of keyword (named) arguments by using the double star ** before a parameter name: def print_kwargs(**kwargs): print(kwargs) When calling the method, Python will construct a dictionary of all keyword arguments and make it available in ...

A common use case for *args in a function definition is to delegate processing to either a wrapped or inherited function. A typical example might be in a class's __init__ method class A(object): def __init__(self, b, c): self.y = b self.z = c class B(A): def __init__(...

You can use a dictionary to assign values to the function's parameters; using parameters name as keys in the dictionary and the value of these arguments bound to each key: def test_func(arg1, arg2, arg3): # Usual function with three arguments print("arg1: %s" % arg1) print("a...
