Generic functions

Generic functions allow some or all of their arguments to be parameterised. fn convert_values<T, U>(input_value: T) -> Result<U, String> { // Try and convert the value. // Actual code will require bounds on the types T, U to be able to do something with them. } If the compi...

Creating a new object

PowerShell, unlike some other scripting languages, sends objects through the pipeline. What this means is that when you send data from one command to another, it's essential to be able to create, modify, and collect objects. Creating an object is simple. Most objects you create will be custom obj...

Identify Binary Files

Git is pretty good at identifying binary files, but you can explicitly specify which files are binary. Create a .gitattributes file in the project root containing: *.png binary binary is a built-in macro attribute equivalent to -diff -merge -text.

Alternative loop syntax

You can also use loop with curly brackets like this: if ( have_posts() ) { while ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); var_dump( $post ); } }

Plugins - Getting Started

The jQuery API may be extended by adding to its prototype. For example, the existing API already has many functions available such as .hide(), .fadeIn(), .hasClass(), etc. The jQuery prototype is exposed through $.fn, the source code contains the line jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype Adding functio...

Initial Usage Example

jquery-ui-rotatable is a plugin for jQuery UI that works in a similar way to Draggable and Resizable, without being as full-featured. By default, it puts a small rotation icon in the bottom left of whatever element you want to make rotatable. <html> <head> <title>My Ro...

Member initialization

Each of the enum members may be initialized with a value. If a value is not specified for a member, by default it's initialized to 0 (if it's the first member in the member list) or to a value greater by 1 than the value of the preceding member. Module Module1 Enum Size Small ...

Committing at a specific date

git commit -m 'Fix UI bug' --date 2016-07-01 The --date parameter sets the author date. This date will appear in the standard output of git log, for example. To force the commit date too: GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2016-07-01 git commit -m 'Fix UI bug' --date 2016-07-01 The date parameter accepts t...

Reading or writing through a null pointer

int *ptr = nullptr; *ptr = 1; // Undefined behavior This is undefined behavior, because a null pointer does not point to any valid object, so there is no object at *ptr to write to. Although this most often causes a segmentation fault, it is undefined and anything can happen.

No return statement for a function with a non-void return type

Omitting the return statement in a function which is has a return type that is not void is undefined behavior. int function() { // Missing return statement } int main() { function(); //Undefined Behavior } Most modern day compilers emit a warning at compile time for this kind o...

Switch off properties during macro execution

It is best practice in any programming language to avoid premature optimization. However, if testing reveals that your code is running too slowly, you may gain some speed by switching off some of the application’s properties while it runs. Add this code to a standard module: Public Sub SpeedUp( _ ...

Returning lambdas from functions

Returning lambdas (or closures) from functions can be tricky because they implement traits and thus their exact size is rarely known. // Box in the return type moves the function from the stack to the heap fn curried_adder(a: i32) -> Box<Fn(i32) -> i32> { // 'move' applies move se...

Sorting sequence containers by overloaded less operator

If no ordering function is passed, std::sort will order the elements by calling operator< on pairs of elements, which must return a type contextually convertible to bool (or just bool). Basic types (integers, floats, pointers etc) have already build in comparison operators. We can overload this ...

BigInteger Mathematical Operations Examples

BigInteger is in an immutable object, so you need to assign the results of any mathematical operation, to a new BigInteger instance. Addition: 10 + 10 = 20 BigInteger value1 = new BigInteger("10"); BigInteger value2 = new BigInteger("10"); BigInteger sum = value1.add(value...
