Special care needs to be taken when there is a possibility that an array become an empty array when it comes to logical operators. It is often expected that if all(A) is true then any(A) must be true and if any(A) is false, all(A) must also be false. That is not the case in MATLAB with empty arrays....

To convert a String to uppercase, use uppercaseString: NSString *myString = @"Emphasize this"; NSLog(@"%@", [myString uppercaseString]; // @"EMPHASIZE THIS" To convert a String to lowercase, use lowercaseString: NSString *myString = @"NORMALIZE this"; N...

Strings are compared for equality using isEqualToString: The == operator just tests for object identity and does not compare the logical values of objects, so it can't be used: NSString *stringOne = @"example"; NSString *stringTwo = [stringOne mutableCopy]; BOOL objectsAreIdentical =...

The checked out file will overwrite not yet commited changes you did in this file. This command will check out the file file.example (which is located in the directory path/to/) and overwrite any changes you might have made to this file. git checkout some-branch path/to/file some-branch can be ...

To develop an application for iOS, you should start with an application called Xcode. There are other alternative tools you can use, but Xcode is Apple's official tool.

There are two ways to connect to a MySQL/MariaDB server, depending on your infrastructure. Standard (TCP/IP) connection $dsn = 'mysql:dbname=demo;host=server;port=3306;charset=utf8'; $connection = new \PDO($dsn, $username, $password); // throw exceptions, when SQL error is caused $connection-...

Lists can be created in multiple ways. The recommended way is to use a List literal: var vegetables = ['broccoli', 'cabbage']; The List constructor can be used as well: var fruits = new List(); If you prefer stronger typing, you can also supply a type parameter in one of the following ways:...

Sets can be created via the constructor: var ingredients = new Set(); ingredients.addAll(['gold', 'titanium', 'xenon']);

Maps can be created in multiple ways. Using the constructor, you can create a new map as follow: var searchTerms = new Map(); Types for the key and value can also be defined using generics: var nobleGases = new Map<int, String>(); var nobleGases = <int, String>{}; Maps can othe...

The % wildcard appended to the beginning or end (or both) of a string will allow 0 or more of any character before the beginning or after the end of the pattern to match. Using '%' in the middle will allow 0 or more characters between the two parts of the pattern to match. We are going to use this...

When working with multi-module projects, it is helpful to centralize dependencies in a single location rather than having them spread across many build files, especially for common libraries such as the Android support libraries and the Firebase libraries. One recommended way is to separate the Gra...

To print a listing of the Error Code descriptions to the Immediate Window, pass it to the Debug.Print function: Private Sub ListErrCodes() Debug.Print "List Error Code Descriptions" For i = 0 To 65535 e = Error(i) If e <> "Application-defined or obje...

Eloquent is the ORM built into the Laravel framework. It allows you to interact with your database tables in an object-oriented manner, by use of the ActiveRecord pattern. A single model class usually maps to a single database table, and also relationships of different types (one-to-one, one-to-man...

First, some terminology: argument (actual parameter): the actual variable being passed to a function; parameter (formal parameter): the receiving variable that is used in a function. In Python, arguments are passed by assignment (as opposed to other languages, where arguments can be passed by...

INSERT INTO `table_name` (`field_one`, `field_two`) VALUES ('value_one', 'value_two'); In this trivial example, table_name is where the data are to be added, field_one and field_two are fields to set data against, and value_one and value_two are the data to do against field_one and field_two resp...

INSERT INTO `table_name` (`index_field`, `other_field_1`, `other_field_2`) VALUES ('index_value', 'insert_value', 'other_value') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE `other_field_1` = 'update_value', `other_field_2` = VALUES(`other_field_2`); This will INSERT into ta...

In Haskell, it often makes sense not to bother with file handles at all, but simply read or write an entire file straight from disk to memory†, and do all the partitioning/processing of the text with the pure string data structure. This avoids mixing IO and program logic, which can greatly help avoi...
