Roots: nth-root with fractional exponents

While the math.sqrt function is provided for the specific case of square roots, it's often convenient to use the exponentiation operator (**) with fractional exponents to perform nth-root operations, like cube roots. The inverse of an exponentiation is exponentiation by the exponent's reciprocal. S...

Using modules from other program units

To access entities declared in a module from another program unit (module, procedure or program), the module must be used with the use statement. module shared_data implicit none integer :: iarray(4) = [1, 2, 3, 4] real :: rarray(4) = [1., 2., 3., 4.] end module program test !...

Using custom deleters to create a wrapper to a C interface

Many C interfaces such as SDL2 have their own deletion functions. This means that you cannot use smart pointers directly: std::unique_ptr<SDL_Surface> a; // won't work, UNSAFE! Instead, you need to define your own deleter. The examples here use the SDL_Surface structure which should be fre...

Writing a lens without Template Haskell

To demystify Template Haskell, suppose you have data Example a = Example { _foo :: Int, _bar :: a } then makeLenses 'Example produces (more or less) foo :: Lens' (Example a) Int bar :: Lens (Example a) (Example b) a b There's nothing particularly magical going on, though. You can write ...

Lens and Prism

A Lens' s a means that you can always find an a within any s. A Prism' s a means that you can sometimes find that s actually just is a but sometimes it's something else. To be more clear, we have _1 :: Lens' (a, b) a because any tuple always has a first element. We have _Just :: Prism' (Maybe a) a...

Lenses compose

If you have a f :: Lens' a b and a g :: Lens' b c then f . g is a Lens' a c gotten by following f first and then g. Notably: Lenses compose as functions (really they just are functions) If you think of the view functionality of Lens, it seems like data flows "left to right"—this might ...

Example tests (self documenting tests)

This type of tests make sure that your code compiles properly and will appear in the generated documentation for your project. In addition to that, the example tests can assert that your test produces proper output. sum.go: package sum // Sum calculates the sum of two integers func Sum(a, b in...

Ternary operator

Conditions may also be evaluated in a single line using the ternary operator: If you wanted to determine the minimum and maximum of two variables, you could use if statements, like so: let a = 5 let b = 10 let min: Int if a < b { min = a } else { min = b } let max: Int ...
