The double-negation !! is not a distinct JavaScript operator nor a special syntax but rather just a sequence of two negations. It is used to convert the value of any type to its appropriate true or false Boolean value depending on whether it is truthy or falsy. !!1 // true !!0 ...

Another neat feature using slices is slice assignment. Python allows you to assign new slices to replace old slices of a list in a single operation. This means that if you have a list, you can replace multiple members in a single assignment: lst = [1, 2, 3] lst[1:3] = [4, 5] print(lst) # Out: [1...

Dart has a switch case which can be used instead of long if-else statements: var command = 'OPEN'; switch (command) { case 'CLOSED': executeClosed(); break; case 'OPEN': executeOpen(); break; case 'APPROVED': executeApproved(); break; case 'UNSURE': ...

To check for a precise number of elements in the collection def f(ints: Seq[Int]): String = ints match { case Seq() => "The Seq is empty !" case Seq(first) => s"The seq has exactly one element : $first" case Seq(first, second) => s"The...

Prerequisites: NodeJS and npm There are two ways of installing Webpack: globally or per-project. It is best to have the dependency installed per-project, as this will allow you to use different versions of webpack for each project and don't require user to have installed webpack globally. Install...

All Java exceptions are instances of classes in the Exception class hierarchy. This can be represented as follows: java.lang.Throwable - This is the base class for all exception classes. Its methods and constructors implement a range of functionality common to all exceptions. java.lang.Excep...

$fruit1 = ['apples', 'pears']; $fruit2 = ['bananas', 'oranges']; $all_of_fruits = array_merge($fruit1, $fruit2); // now value of $all_of_fruits is [0 => 'apples', 1 => 'pears', 2 => 'bananas', 3 => 'oranges'] Note that array_merge will change numeric indexes, but overwrite string...

A context manager is an object that is notified when a context (a block of code) starts and ends. You commonly use one with the with statement. It takes care of the notifying. For example, file objects are context managers. When a context ends, the file object is closed automatically: open_file = ...

In Python 2, an iterator can be traversed by using a method called next on the iterator itself: Python 2.x2.3 g = (i for i in range(0, 3)) g.next() # Yields 0 g.next() # Yields 1 g.next() # Yields 2 In Python 3 the .next method has been renamed to .__next__, acknowledging its “magic” ro...

If a name is bound inside a function, it is by default accessible only within the function: def foo(): a = 5 print(a) # ok print(a) # NameError: name 'a' is not defined Control flow constructs have no impact on the scope (with the exception of except), but accessing variable that w...

x and y are extracted from the tuple: val (x, y) = (1337, 42) // x: Int = 1337 // y: Int = 42 To ignore a value use _: val (_, y: Int) = (1337, 42) // y: Int = 42 To unpack an extractor: val myTuple = (1337, 42) myTuple._1 // res0: Int = 1337 myTuple._2 // res1: Int = 42 Note that...

A case class is a class with a lot of standard boilerplate code automatically included. One benefit of this is that Scala makes it easy to use extractors with case classes. case class Person(name: String, age: Int) // Define the case class val p = Person("Paola", 42) // Instantiate a v...

Many context managers return an object when entered. You can assign that object to a new name in the with statement. For example, using a database connection in a with statement could give you a cursor object: with database_connection as cursor: cursor.execute(sql_query) File objects retur...

The null coalescing operator makes it easy to ensure that a method that may return null will fall back to a default value. Without the null coalescing operator: string name = GetName(); if (name == null) name = "Unknown!"; With the null coalescing operator: string name = GetN...

enum MyEnum { One, Two, Three } foreach(MyEnum e in Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum))) Console.WriteLine(e); This will print: One Two Three

The FlagsAttribute can be applied to an enum changing the behaviour of the ToString() to match the nature of the enum: [Flags] enum MyEnum { //None = 0, can be used but not combined in bitwise operations FlagA = 1, FlagB = 2, FlagC = 4, FlagD = 8 //you must use pow...
