Program units often make use of literal constants. These cover the obvious cases like print *, "Hello", 1, 1.0 Except in one case, each literal constant is a scalar which has type, type parameters and value given by the syntax. Integer literal constants are of the form 1 -1 -1_1 ...

You can call a function in Racket by wrapping it in parentheses with the arguments after it. This looks like (function argument ...). > (define (f x) x) > (f 1) 1 > (f "salmon") "salmon" > (define (g x y) (string-append x y)) > (g "large" "sal...

A common pattern in C# is using bool TryParse(object input, out object value) to safely parse objects. The out var declaration is a simple feature to improve readability. It allows a variable to be declared at the same time that is it passed as an out parameter. A variable declared this way is sco...

Local functions are defined within a method and aren't available outside of it. They have access to all local variables and support iterators, async/await and lambda syntax. This way, repetitions specific to a function can be functionalized without crowding the class. As a side effect, this improves...

Define AccumulatorParam: from pyspark import AccumulatorParam class StringAccumulator(AccumulatorParam): def zero(self, s): return s def addInPlace(self, s1, s2): return s1 + s2 accumulator = sc.accumulator("", StringAccumulator()) def add(x): gl...

Preconditions allows methods to provide minimum required values for input parameters Example... void DoWork(string input) { Contract.Requires(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(input)); //do work } Static Analysis Result...

Postconditions ensure that the returned results from a method will match the provided definition. This provides the caller with a definition of the expected result. Postconditions may allowed for simplied implmentations as some possible outcomes can be provided by the static analyizer. Example......

Validating array form input fields is very simple. Suppose you have to validate each name, email and father name in a given array. You could do the following: $validator = \Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'name.*' => 'required', 'email.*' => 'email|unique:users'...

Sometimes it is appropriate to use an immutable empty collection. The Collections class provides methods to get such collections in an efficient way: List<String> anEmptyList = Collections.emptyList(); Map<Integer, Date> anEmptyMap = Collections.emptyMap(); Set<Number> anEmptySe...

A pure function is a function that, given the same input, will always return the same output and are side-effect free. // This is a pure function function add($a, $b) { return $a + $b; } Some side-effects are changing the filesystem, interacting with databases, printing to the screen. //...

Partial credit to this SO answer. List Concatenation aggregates a column or expression by combining the values into a single string for each group. A string to delimit each value (either blank or a comma when omitted) and the order of the values in the result can be specified. While it is not part ...

When running from the CLI, PHP exhibits some different behaviours than when run from a web server. These differences should be kept in mind, especially in the case where the same script might be run from both environments. No directory change When running a script from a web server, the current w...

There are a number of different ways to install the AWS CLI on your machine, depending on what operating system and environment you are using: On Microsoft Windows – use the MSI installer. On Linux, OS X, or Unix – use pip (a package manager for Python software) or install manually with the bundle...

Once registered a dependency can be retrieved by adding parameters on the Controller constructor. // ... using System; using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection; namespace Core.Controllers { public class HomeController : Controller { public HomeController(ITestServic...

Named functions function multiply(a, b) { return a * b; } Anonymous functions let multiply = function(a, b) { return a * b; }; Lambda / arrow functions let multiply = (a, b) => { return a * b; };

Here is how to make a Heads Up Notification for capable devices, and use a Ticker for older devices. // Tapping the Notification will open up MainActivity Intent i = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class); // an action to use later // defined as an app constant: // public static final String ME...
