A linked list is a linear collection of data elements, called nodes, which are linked to other node(s) by means of a "pointer." Below is a singly linked list with a head reference. ┌─────────┬─────────┐ ┌─────────┬─────────┐ HEAD ──▶│ data │"pointer"│──▶...

There is no way to get a value of type a out of an expression of type IO a and there shouldn't be. This is actually a large part of why monads are used to model IO. An expression of type IO a can be thought of as representing an action that can interact with the real world and, if executed, would r...

In many Excel applications, the VBA code takes actions directed at the workbook in which it's contained. You save that workbook with a ".xlsm" extension and the VBA macros only focus on the worksheets and data within. However, there are often times when you need to combine or merge data fr...

Stackage is a repository for Haskell packages. We can add these packages to a stack project. Adding lens to a project. In a stack project, there is a file called stack.yaml. In stack.yaml there is a segment that looks like: resolver: lts-6.8 Stackage keeps a list of packages for every revision...

Step 1: Install the SDK You can install the SDK manually or via CocoaPods. The latter option is highly recommended. Put these lines in Podfile: target 'MyApp' do use_frameworks! pod 'FBSDKCoreKit' pod 'FBSDKLoginKit' pod 'FBSDKShareKit' end Run pod install in the terminal and op...

Production deployments will vary in many ways, but a standard convention when deploying in production is to define an environment variable called NODE_ENV and set its value to "production". Runtime flags Any code running in your application (including external modules) can check the valu...

F# allow existing types to be extended with new static functions. type System.String with static member EqualsCaseInsensitive (a, b) = String.Equals(a, b, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) This new function can be invoked like this: let x = String.EqualsCaseInsensitive("abc", &...

Modules can be used to add new functions to existing Modules and Types. namespace FSharp.Collections module List = let pair item1 item2 = [ item1; item2 ] The new function can then be called as if it was an original member of List. open FSharp.Collections module Testing = le...

[<Measure>] type m // meters [<Measure>] type cm // centimeters // Conversion factor let cmInM = 100<cm/m> let distanceInM = 1<m> let distanceInCM = distanceInM * cmInM // 100<cm> // Conversion function let cmToM (x : int<cm>) = x / 100<cm/m> l...

Cryptography is something very hard and after spending a lot of time reading different examples and seeing how easy it is to introduce some form of vulnerability I found an answer originally written by @jbtule that I think is very good. Enjoy reading: "The general best practice for symmetric e...

The List API has eight methods for positional access operations: add(T type) add(int index, T type) remove(Object o) remove(int index) get(int index) set(int index, E element) int indexOf(Object o) int lastIndexOf(Object o) So, if we have a List: List<String> strings = new ArrayL...

Batch execution using java.sql.PreparedStatement allows you to execute a single DML statement with multiple sets of values for its parameters. This example demonstrates how to prepare an insert statement and use it to insert multiple rows in a batch. Connection connection = ...; // obtained earl...

Batch execution using java.sql.Statement allows you to execute multiple DML statements (update, insert, delete) at once. This is achieved by creating a single statement object, adding the statements to execute, and then execute the batch as one. Connection connection = ...; // obtained earlier c...

options = { "x": ["a", "b"], "y": [10, 20, 30] } Given a dictionary such as the one shown above, where there is a list representing a set of values to explore for the corresponding key. Suppose you want to explore "x"="a" w...

If you use a dictionary as an iterator (e.g. in a for statement), it traverses the keys of the dictionary. For example: d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c':3} for key in d: print(key, d[key]) # c 3 # b 2 # a 1 The same is true when used in a comprehension print([key for key in d]) # ['c', 'b', '...

If you are working with vectors or lines you will at some stage want to get the direction of a vector, or line. Or the direction from a point to another point. Math.atan(yComponent, xComponent) return the angle in radius within the range of -Math.PI to Math.PI (-180 to 180 deg) Direction of a vect...
