Sometimes the property name needs to be stored into a variable. In this example, we ask the user what word needs to be looked up, and then provide the result from an object I've named dictionary. var dictionary = { lettuce: 'a veggie', banana: 'a fruit', tomato: 'it depends on who yo...

To find a character or another string, you can use std::string::find. It returns the position of the first character of the first match. If no matches were found, the function returns std::string::npos std::string str = "Curiosity killed the cat"; auto it = str.find("cat"); ...

The function std::find, defined in the <algorithm> header, can be used to find an element in a std::vector. std::find uses the operator== to compare elements for equality. It returns an iterator to the first element in the range that compares equal to the value. If the element in question is...

An array can easily be converted into a std::vector by using std::begin and std::end: C++11 int values[5] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; // source array std::vector<int> v(std::begin(values), std::end(values)); // copy array to new vector for(auto &x: v) std::cout << x << &q...

When you start a thread, it will execute until it is finished. Often, at some point, you need to (possibly - the thread may already be done) wait for the thread to finish, because you want to use the result for example. int n; std::thread thread{ calculateSomething, std::ref(n) }; //Doing some...

You cannot pass a reference (or const reference) directly to a thread because std::thread will copy/move them. Instead, use std::reference_wrapper: void foo(int& b) { b = 10; } int a = 1; std::thread thread{ foo, std::ref(a) }; //'a' is now really passed as reference thread.join()...

In C++, threads are created using the std::thread class. A thread is a separate flow of execution; it is analogous to having a helper perform one task while you simultaneously perform another. When all the code in the thread is executed, it terminates. When creating a thread, you need to pass somet...

std::this_thread is a namespace which has functions to do interesting things on the current thread from function it is called from. FunctionDescriptionget_idReturns the id of the threadsleep_forSleeps for a specified amount of timesleep_untilSleeps until a specific timeyieldReschedule running threa...

What are Array-like Objects? JavaScript has "Array-like Objects", which are Object representations of Arrays with a length property. For example: var realArray = ['a', 'b', 'c']; var arrayLike = { 0: 'a', 1: 'b', 2: 'c', length: 3 }; Common examples of Array-like Objects...

At first glance it may appear that null and undefined are basically the same, however there are subtle but important differences. undefined is the absence of a value in the compiler, because where it should be a value, there hasn't been put one, like the case of an unassigned variable. undefined...

1 / 0; // Infinity // Wait! WHAAAT? Infinity is a property of the global object (therefore a global variable) that represents mathematical infinity. It is a reference to Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY It is greater than any other value, and you can get it by dividing by 0 or by evaluating the express...

When local changes are present, the git pull command aborts reporting : error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge In order to update (like svn update did with subversion), you can run : git stash git pull --rebase git stash pop A convenient way coul...

To get info from the requesting url (notice that req is the request object in the handler function of routes). Consider this route definition /settings/:user_id and this particular example /settings/32135?field=name // get the full path req.originalUrl // => /settings/32135?field=name // get...

Unlike the WHERE clause, HAVING can be used with aggregate functions. An aggregate function is a function where the values of multiple rows are grouped together as input on certain criteria to form a single value of more significant meaning or measurement (Wikipedia). Common aggregate function...

The STUFF() function inserts a string into another string by first deleting a specified number of characters. The following example, deletes "Svr" and replaces it with "Server". This happens by specifying the start_position and length of the replacement. SELECT STUFF('SQL Svr D...

Linking to other Javadocs is done with the @link tag: /** * You can link to the javadoc of an already imported class using {@link ClassName}. * * You can also use the fully-qualified name, if the class is not already imported: * {@link some.other.ClassName} * * You can link to members...

Apple's Reachability class periodically checks the network status and alerts observers to changes. Reachability *internetReachability = [Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection]; [internetReachability startNotifier];

- (void)reachabilityChanged:(NSNotification *)note { Reachability* reachability = [note object]; NetworkStatus netStatus = [reachability currentReachabilityStatus]; if (netStatus == NotReachable) { NSLog(@"Network unavailable"); } }

- (void)reachabilityChanged:(NSNotification *)note { Reachability* reachability = [note object]; NetworkStatus netStatus = [reachability currentReachabilityStatus]; switch (netStatus) { case NotReachable: NSLog(@"Network unavailable"); br...

Many IDEs provide support for generating HTML from Javadocs automatically; some build tools (Maven and Gradle, for example) also have plugins that can handle the HTML creation. However, these tools are not required to generate the Javadoc HTML; this can be done using the command line javadoc tool. ...
