An enumeration is a user-defined data type consists of integral constants and each integral constant is given a name. Keyword enum is used to define enumerated data type. If you use enum instead of int or string/ char*, you increase compile-time checking and avoid errors from passing in invalid con...

There are times in which it is desirable to consolidate factor levels into fewer groups, perhaps because of sparse data in one of the categories. It may also occur when you have varying spellings or capitalization of the category names. Consider as an example the factor set.seed(1) colorful <...

To iterate over several generators in parallel, use the zip builtin: for x, y in zip(a,b): print(x,y) Results in: 1 x 2 y 3 z In python 2 you should use itertools.izip instead. Here we can also see that the all the zip functions yield tuples. Note that zip will stop iterating as soon...

NSString *pathToPlist = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"plistName" ofType:@"plist"]; NSDictionary *plistDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:pathToPlist];

It is usually not a good idea to mix signed and unsigned integers in arithmetic operations. For example, what will be output of following example? #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { unsigned int a = 1000; signed int b = -1; if (a > b) puts("a is more than b&quot...

A common usage scenario that this feature really helps with is when you are looking for an object in a collection and need to create a new one if it does not already exist. IEnumerable<MyClass> myList = GetMyList(); var item = myList.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Id == 2) ?? new MyClass { Id = 2...

There are multiple ways to set a key's object in an NSDictionary, corresponding to the ways you get a value. For instance, to add a lamborghini to a list of cars Standard [cars setObject:lamborghini forKey:@"Lamborghini"]; Just like any other object, call the method of NSDictionary th...

There are multiple ways to get an object from an NSDictionary with a key. For instance, to get a lamborghini from a list of cars Standard Car * lamborghini = [cars objectForKey:@"Lamborghini"]; Just like any other object, call the method of NSDictionary that gives you an object for a ...

Represents a thread-safe collection of key/value pairs that can be accessed by multiple threads concurrently. Creating an instance Creating an instance works pretty much the same way as with Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, e.g.: var dict = new ConcurrentDictionary<int, string>(); Ad...

Defining a method in Ruby 2.x returns a symbol representing the name: class Example puts def hello end end #=> :hello This allows for interesting metaprogramming techniques. For instance, methods can be wrapped by other methods: class Class def logged(name) original_method...

You can use a For Each...Next loop to iterate through any IEnumerable type. This includes arrays, lists, and anything else that may be of type IEnumerable or returns an IEnumerable. An example of looping through a DataTable's Rows property would look like this: For Each row As DataRow In DataTable...

The following example shows how you can use Json.Net to serialize the data in an C# Object's instance, to JSON string. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using Newtonsoft.Json; public class Employee { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; s...

The following example shows how you can deserialize a JSON string containing into an Object (i.e. into an instance of a class). using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using Newtonsoft.Json; public class Program { public class Employee { public s...

Detailed instructions on getting database set up or installed.

If you want to import a module that doesn't already exist as a built-in module in the Python Standard Library nor as a side-package, you can do this by adding the path to the directory where your module is found to sys.path. This may be useful where multiple python environments exist on a host. im...

Creating a Custom Element with bindable properties is a snap. If you want to create an element that accepts one or more values which the plugin can use, the @bindable decorator and syntax is what you are looking for. Below, we are creating a custom element that accepts an array of fruits and displa...

A basic custom element is created in Aurelia based on naming conventions, by simply adding the suffix CustomElement to the name of a class. This suffix will automatically be stripped out by Aurelia. The remaining part of the class name will be lowercased and separated using a hyphen and can then be ...
