A group is a section of a regular expression enclosed in parentheses (). This is commonly called "sub-expression" and serves two purposes: It makes the sub-expression atomic, i.e. it will either match, fail or repeat as a whole. The portion of text it matched is accessible in the remai...

Since Groups are "numbered" some engines also support matching what a group has previously matched again. Assuming you wanted to match something where two equals strings of length three are divided by a $ you'd use: (.{3})\$\1 This would match any of the following strings: "abc$...

Deleting the last element: std::vector<int> v{ 1, 2, 3 }; v.pop_back(); // v becomes {1, 2} Deleting all elements: std::vector<int> v{ 1, 2, 3 }; v.clear(); // v becomes an empty vector Deleting element by index: std::vect...

Evaluates its first operand, and, if the resulting value is not equal to zero, evaluates its second operand. Otherwise, it evaluates its third operand, as shown in the following example: a = b ? c : d; is equivalent to: if (b) a = c; else a = d; This pseudo-code represents it : c...

Evaluates its left operand, discards the resulting value, and then evaluates its rights operand and result yields the value of its rightmost operand. int x = 42, y = 42; printf("%i\n", (x *= 2, y)); /* Outputs "42". */ The comma operator introduces a sequence point between i...

This example uses the Car Table from the Example Databases. SELECT * FROM Cars WHERE TotalCost IN (100, 200, 300) This query will return Car #2 which costs 200 and Car #3 which costs 100. Note that this is equivalent to using multiple clauses with OR, e.g.: SELECT * FROM Cars WHERE TotalCos...

See full documentation on LIKE operator. This example uses the Employees Table from the Example Databases. SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE FName LIKE 'John' This query will only return Employee #1 whose first name matches 'John' exactly. SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE FName like 'John%' Ad...

A simple application showing the text "Hello World" in the center of the window. import QtQuick 2.3 import QtQuick.Window 2.0 Window { visible: true width: 640 height: 480 title: qsTr("Hello World") //The method qsTr() is used for translations from one la...

This example shows how to match an input against several values: def f(x: Int): String = x match { case 1 => "One" case 2 => "Two" case _ => "Unknown!" } f(2) // "Two" f(3) // "Unknown!" Live demo Note: _ is the fall th...

In standard pattern matching, the identifier used will shadow any identifier in the enclosing scope. Sometimes it is necessary to match on the enclosing scope's variable. The following example function takes a character and a list of tuples and returns a new list of tuples. If the character existed...

In order to get const char* access to the data of a std::string you can use the string's c_str() member function. Keep in mind that the pointer is only valid as long as the std::string object is within scope and remains unchanged, that means that only const methods may be called on the object. C++1...

Inheritance works just like it does in other object-oriented languages: methods defined on the superclass are accessible in the extending subclass. If the subclass declares its own constructor then it must invoke the parents constructor via super() before it can access this. class SuperClass { ...

The lambda keyword creates an inline function that contains a single expression. The value of this expression is what the function returns when invoked. Consider the function: def greeting(): return "Hello" which, when called as: print(greeting()) prints: Hello This can ...

This example shows the usage of the ILGenerator by generating code that makes use of already existing and new created members as well as basic Exception handling. The following code emits a DynamicAssembly that contains an equivalent to this c# code: public static class UnixTimeHelper { priva...

Branching in Subversion is very simple. In the simplest form, creating a new branch requires you to run the command against the remote repository's URLs. For example, let's create a new branch out of the mainline trunk: svn copy https://svn.example.com/svn/MyRepo/MyProject/trunk https://svn.example...

When you interact with the remote central repository using your private local workspace -- the working copy -- you can use repository-relative URL instead of direct URL to URL copy to create a new branch: svn copy "^/MyProject/trunk" "^/MyProject/branches/MyNewBranch" -m "C...

The working copy (WC) is your local and private workspace that you use to interact with the central Subversion repository. You use the working copy to modify the contents of your project and fetch changes committed by others. The working copy contains your project's data and looks and acts like a r...

Before publishing a package you have to version it. npm supports semantic versioning, this means there are patch, minor and major releases. For example, if your package is at version 1.2.3 to change version you have to: patch release: npm version patch => 1.2.4 minor release: npm version min...

Delete a file asynchronously: var fs = require('fs'); fs.unlink('/path/to/file.txt', function(err) { if (err) throw err; console.log('file deleted'); }); You can also delete it synchronously*: var fs = require('fs'); fs.unlinkSync('/path/to/file.txt'); console.log('file deleted'...

This demonstrates a filter on a for-loop, and the use of yield to create a 'sequence comprehension': for ( x <- 1 to 10 if x % 2 == 0) yield x The output for this is: scala.collection.immutable.IndexedSeq[Int] = Vector(2, 4, 6, 8, 10) A for comprehension is useful when you need to crea...
