If value types are assigned to variables of type object they are boxed - the value is stored in an instance of a System.Object. This can lead to unintended consequences when comparing values with ==, e.g.: object left = (int)1; // int in an object box object right = (int)1; // int in an object bo...

Boxed value types can only be unboxed into their original Type, even if a conversion of the two Types is valid, e.g.: object boxedInt = (int)1; // int boxed in an object long unboxedInt1 = (long)boxedInt; // invalid cast This can be avoided by first unboxing into the original Type, e.g.: lon...

This example shows how to check permissions at runtime in Android 6 and later. public static final int MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 10; // code you want. String[] permissions = new String[] { Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.ACC...

Use the speakUtterance: method of AVSpeechSynthesizer to convert text to speech. You need to pass an AVSpeechUtterance object to this method, which contains the text that you want to be spoken. Objective C AVSpeechSynthesizer *speaker = [[AVSpeechSynthesizer alloc] init]; AVSpeechUtterance *speec...

Examples below are given in Ruby, but same matchers should be available in any modern language. Let’s say we have the string "AℵNaïve", produced by Messy Artificial Intelligence. It consists of letters, but generic \w matcher won’t match much: ▶ "AℵNaïve"[/\w+/] #⇒ "A&q...

All C functions are in actuality pointers to a spot in the program memory where some code exists. The main use of a function pointer is to provide a "callback" to other functions (or to simulate classes and objects). The syntax of a function, as defined further down on this page is: retu...

The splice()method can be used to remove elements from an array. In this example, we remove the first 3 from the array. var values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3]; var i = values.indexOf(3); if (i >= 0) { values.splice(i, 1); } // [1, 2, 4, 5, 3] The splice() method can also be used to add elemen...

The editor.apply() method is asynchronous, while editor.commit() is synchronous. Obviously, you should call either apply() or commit(). 2.3 SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_FILE, MODE_PRIVATE); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit(); editor.putBoolean(PREF_CONS...

UDP is a connectionless protocol. Messages to other processes or computers are sent without establishing any sort of connection. There is no automatic confirmation if your message has been received. UDP is usually used in latency sensitive applications or in applications sending network wide broadca...

UDP is a connectionless protocol. This means that peers sending messages do not require establishing a connection before sending messages. socket.recvfromthus returns a tuple (msg [the message the socket received], addr [the address of the sender]) A UDP server using solely the socket module: from...

Sending data over the internet is made possible using multiple modules. The sockets module provides low-level access to the underlying Operating System operations responsible for sending or receiving data from other computers or processes. The following code sends the byte string b'Hello' to a TCP ...

\bfoo\b will match the complete word with no alphanumeric and _ preceding or following by it. Taking from regularexpression.info There are three different positions that qualify as word boundaries: Before the first character in the string, if the first character is a word character. After...

A pseudo-random number generator generates values that can be guessed based on previously generated values. In other words: it is deterministic. Do not use a pseudo-random number generator in situations where a true random number is required. #include <iostream> #include <random> in...

The random number generator can (and should) be used for multiple distributions. #include <iostream> #include <random> int main() { std::default_random_engine pseudo_random_generator; std::uniform_int_distribution<int> int_distribution(0, 9); std::uniform_real_dis...

If you have a type definition file (d.ts) for the module, you can use an import statement. import _ = require('lodash'); If you don't have a definition file for the module, TypeScript will throw an error on compilation because it cannot find the module you are trying to import. In this case, yo...

Define a new type Person using namedtuple like this: Person = namedtuple('Person', ['age', 'height', 'name']) The second argument is the list of attributes that the tuple will have. You can list these attributes also as either space or comma separated string: Person = namedtuple('Person', 'age,...

By default, Interface Builder doesn't accept the CGColor datatype, so to allow adding a CGColor using user defined attributes in interface builder; one may want to use an extension like this: Swift Extension : extension CALayer { func borderUIColor() -> UIColor? { return borderCol...

IMPORTANT: This delegate method is only called in the foreground. Swift func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveLocalNotification notification: UILocalNotification) { } Objective-C - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotifi...

Tuples can be compared based on their elements. As an example, an enumerable whose elements are of type Tuple can be sorted based on comparisons operators defined on a specified element: List<Tuple<int, string>> list = new List<Tuple<int, string>>(); list.Add(new Tuple<...

The strchr and strrchr functions find a character in a string, that is in a NUL-terminated character array. strchr return a pointer to the first occurrence and strrchr to the last one. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { char toSe...
