It's possible to create generator iterators using a comprehension-like syntax. generator = (i * 2 for i in range(3)) next(generator) # 0 next(generator) # 2 next(generator) # 4 next(generator) # raises StopIteration If a function doesn't necessarily need to be passed a list, you can sa...

a, b = 2, 3 (a ** b) # = 8 pow(a, b) # = 8 import math math.pow(a, b) # = 8.0 (always float; does not allow complex results) import operator operator.pow(a, b) # = 8 Another difference between the built-in pow and math.pow is that the built-in po...

A practical use case of a generator is to iterate through values of an infinite series. Here's an example of finding the first ten terms of the Fibonacci Sequence. def fib(a=0, b=1): """Generator that yields Fibonacci numbers. `a` and `b` are the seed values""" ...

<input type="hidden" name="inputName" value="inputValue"> A hidden input won't be visible to the user, but its value will be sent to the server when the form is submitted nonetheless.

Direction-Specific Properties CSS allows you to specify a given side to apply margin to. The four properties provided for this purpose are: margin-left margin-right margin-top margin-bottom The following code would apply a margin of 30 pixels to the left side of the selected div. View Resu...

The <article> element contains self-contained content like articles, blog posts, user comments or an interactive widget that could be distributed outside the context of the page, for example by RSS. When article elements are nested, the contents of the inner article node should be related t...

The <main> element contains the main content for your web page. This content is unique to the individual page, and should not appear elsewhere on the site. Repeating content like headers, footers, navigation, logos, etc., is placed outside the element. The <main> element should only e...

Swift label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.left //or the shorter label.textAlignment = .left Any value in the NSTextAlignment enum is valid: .left, .center, .right, .justified, .natural Objective-C label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft; Any value in the NSTextAlignment enum is vali...

Use new Date() to generate a new Date object containing the current date and time. Note that Date() called without arguments is equivalent to new Date(Date.now()). Once you have a date object, you can apply any of the several available methods to extract its properties (e.g. getFullYear() to get t...

It is possible to emulate container types, which support accessing values by key or index. Consider this naive implementation of a sparse list, which stores only its non-zero elements to conserve memory. class sparselist(object): def __init__(self, size): self.size = size se...

Sometimes it's necessary to set an array to zero, after the initialization has been done. #include <stdlib.h> /* for EXIT_SUCCESS */ #define ARRLEN (10) int main(void) { int array[ARRLEN]; /* Allocated but not initialised, as not defined static or global. */ size_t i; for(i ...

Arrays have fixed lengths that are known within the scope of their declarations. Nevertheless, it is possible and sometimes convenient to calculate array lengths. In particular, this can make code more flexible when the array length is determined automatically from an initializer: int array[] = {...

The <nav> element is primarily intended to be used for sections that contain main navigation blocks for the website, this can include links to other parts of the web page (e.g. anchors for a table of contents) or other pages entirely. Inline items The following will display an inline set of ...

Git will usually open an editor (like vim or emacs) when you run git commit. Pass the -m option to specify a message from the command line: git commit -m "Commit message here" Your commit message can go over multiple lines: git commit -m "Commit 'subject line' message here Mor...

Extensions can contain convenience initializers. For example, a failable initializer for Int that accepts a NSString: extension Int { init?(_ string: NSString) { self.init(string as String) // delegate to the existing Int.init(String) initializer } } let str1: NSString = &qu...

# First falsy element or last element if all are truthy: reduce(lambda i, j: i and j, [100, [], 20, 10]) # = [] reduce(lambda i, j: i and j, [100, 50, 20, 10]) # = 10 # First truthy element or last element if all falsy: reduce(lambda i, j: i or j, [100, [], 20, 0]) # = 100 reduce(la...

Presence works by sending messages when a user joins, leaves, or times out from a particular channel. You can listen for these messages to track who is in a channel, and how long since they did anything. First, make sure each user as a UUID. Set this when you initialize PubNub: var pubnub = PUBNUB...

For example calculating the average of each i-th element of multiple iterables: def average(*args): return float(sum(args)) / len(args) # cast to float - only mandatory for python 2.x measurement1 = [100, 111, 99, 97] measurement2 = [102, 117, 91, 102] measurement3 = [104, 102, 95, 101] ...

There is a complementary function for filter in the itertools-module: Python 2.x2.0.1 # not recommended in real use but keeps the example valid for python 2.x and python 3.x from itertools import ifilterfalse as filterfalse Python 3.x3.0.0 from itertools import filterfalse which works...

Extensions are used to extend the functionality of existing types in Swift. Extensions can add subscripts, functions, initializers, and computed properties. They can also make types conform to protocols. Suppose you want to be able to compute the factorial of an Int. You can add a computed property...
