Checking if session cookies have been created Session name is the name of the cookie used to store sessions. You can use this to detect if cookies for a session have been created for the user: if(isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) { session_start(); } Note that this method is generally not ...

for typescript 2.x: definitions from DefinitelyTyped are available via @types npm package npm i --save lodash npm i --save-dev @types/lodash but in case if you want use types from other repos then can be used old way: for typescript 1.x: Typings is an npm package that can automatically insta...

Constants can be defined inside classes using a const keyword. class Foo { const BAR_TYPE = "bar"; // reference from inside the class using self:: public function myMethod() { return self::BAR_TYPE; } } // reference from outside the class using <Class...

In Swift, we can exponentiate Doubles with the built-in pow() method: pow(BASE, EXPONENT) In the code below, the base (5) is set to the power of the exponent (2) : let number = pow(5.0, 2.0) // Equals 25

Lambda functions in C++ are syntactic sugar that provide a very concise syntax for writing functors. As such, equivalent functionality can be obtained in C++03 (albeit much more verbose) by converting the lambda function into a functor: // Some dummy types: struct T1 {int dummy;}; struct T2 {int ...

There are two main versions of IntelliJ IDEA: the Community edition and the Ultimate edition. The Community edition is free and is not lacking for features in terms of Java SE development. Windows & Linux Download IntelliJ IDEA from the JetBrains website, and follow installation procedures. If...

This example assumes you know how to test a Flask app using pytest Below is an API that takes a JSON input with integer values a and b e.g. {"a": 1, "b": 2}, adds them up and returns sum a + b in a JSON response e.g. {"sum": 3}. # hello_add.py from flask import Flask...

Returns a Boolean indicating if the class conform the protocol: [MyClass conformsToProtocol:@protocol(MyProtocol)];

fs.access() determines whether a path exists and what permissions a user has to the file or directory at that path. fs.access doesn't return a result rather, if it doesn't return an error, the path exists and the user has the desired permissions. The permission modes are available as a property on ...

Due to Node's asynchronous nature, creating or using a directory by first: checking for its existence with fs.stat(), then creating or using it depending of the results of the existence check, can lead to a race condition if the folder is created between the time of the check and the time of ...

The nodemon package makes it possible to automatically reload your program when you modify any file in the source code. Installing nodemon globally npm install -g nodemon (or npm i -g nodemon) Installing nodemon locally In case you don't want to install it globally npm install --save-dev nodemo...

A macro can call itself, like a function recursion: macro_rules! sum { ($base:expr) => { $base }; ($a:expr, $($rest:expr),+) => { $a + sum!($($rest),+) }; } Let's go though the expansion of sum!(1, 2, 3): sum!(1, 2, 3) // ^ ^~~~ // $a $rest => 1 + sum!(2, 3)...

docker inspect supports Go Templates via the --format option. This allows for better integration in scripts, without resorting to pipes/sed/grep traditional tools. Print a container internal IP: docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' 7786807d8084 This is useful for direct ne...

Say we have an enum DayOfWeek: enum DayOfWeek { SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY; } An enum is compiled with a built-in static valueOf() method which can be used to lookup a constant by its name: String dayName = DayOfWeek.SUNDAY.name(); assert dayName.equal...

Given a sequence of steps we use repeatedly, it's often handy to store it in a function. Pipes allow for saving such functions in a readable format by starting a sequence with a dot as in: . %>% RHS As an example, suppose we have factor dates and want to extract the year: library(magrittr) ...

The following code will print the arguments to the program, and the code will attempt to convert each argument into a number (to a long): #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <limits.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { for (int ...

There is a limit to the depth of possible recursion, which depends on the Python implementation. When the limit is reached, a RuntimeError exception is raised: def cursing(depth): try: cursing(depth + 1) # actually, re-cursing except RuntimeError as RE: print('I recursed {} times!'....

Suppose we want to write a factory function that accepts an arbitrary list of arguments and passes those arguments unmodified to another function. An example of such a function is make_unique, which is used to safely construct a new instance of T and return a unique_ptr<T> that owns the instan...

Defining a member block inside a resource creates a route that can act on an individual member of that resource-based route: resources :posts do member do get 'preview' end end This generates the following member route: get '/posts/:id/preview', to: 'posts#preview' # preview_post_p...
