select '123' * 2; To make the multiplication with 2 MySQL automatically converts the string 123 into a number. Return value: 246 The conversion to a number starts from left to right. If the conversion is not possible the result is 0 select '123ABC' * 2 Return value: 246 select 'A...

Multicasting is a type of Datagram Socket. Unlike regular Datagrams, Multicasting doesn't handle each client individually instead it sends it out to one IP Address and all subscribed clients will get the message. Example code for a server side: public class Server { private DatagramSo...

It is not possible to directly use static_cast, const_cast, dynamic_cast and reinterpret_cast on std::shared_ptr to retrieve a pointer sharing ownership with the pointer being passed as argument. Instead, the functions std::static_pointer_cast, std::const_pointer_cast, std::dynamic_pointer_cast and ...

The as operator will cast to a supertype. As it cannot fail, it does not return an optional. let name = "Ringo" let value = string as Any // `value` is of type `Any` now

/// <summary> /// Read configuration values from app.config and convert to specified types /// </summary> public static class ConfigurationReader { /// <summary> /// Get value from AppSettings by key, convert to Type of default value or typ...

Raycasting means throwing a ray from the mouse position on the screen to the scene, this is how threejs determines what object you want to click on if you have implemented it. Threejs gets that information using an octree, but still in production you may not want to compute the result at each frame ...

C-Style casting can be considered 'Best effort' casting and is named so as it is the only cast which could be used in C. The syntax for this cast is (NewType)variable. Whenever this cast is used, it uses one of the following c++ casts (in order): const_cast<NewType>(variable) static_cast&...

It is possible to send a message or data to all avaible connections. This can be achieved by first initializing the server and then using the socket.io object to find all sockets and then emit as you normally would emit to a single socket var io = require('socket.io')(80) // 80 is the HTTP port io...

MATLAB R2016b featured a generalization of its scalar expansion1,2 mechanism, to also support certain element-wise operations between arrays of different sizes, as long as their dimension are compatible. The operators that support implicit expansion are1: Element-wise arithmetic operators: +, -,...

Type Casting Type casting is a way to check the type of an instance, or to treat that instance as a different superclass or subclass from somewhere else in its own class hierarchy. Type casting in Swift is implemented with the is and as operators. These two operators provide a simple and express...

Beware of using "downcasting" - Downcasting is casting down the inheritance hierarchy from a base class to a subclass (i.e. opposite of polymorphism). In general, use polymorphism & overriding instead of instanceof & downcasting. C++ Example // explicit type case required Child ...
