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...

This example show how to subscribe, and once that is successful, publishing a message to that channel. It also demonstrates the full set of parameters that can be included in the subscribe's message callback function. pubnub = PUBNUB({ publish_key : 'your_pub_key', ...

def multiply(s1, s2): print('{arg1} * {arg2} = {res}'.format(arg1=s1, arg2=s2, res=s1*s2)) return s1 * s2 asequence = [1, 2, 3] Given an initializer the function is started by applying it to the...

# 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...

Sorted sequences allow the use of faster searching algorithms: bisect.bisect_left()1: import bisect def index_sorted(sorted_seq, value): """Locate the leftmost value exactly equal to x or raise a ValueError""" i = bisect.bisect_left(sorted_seq, value) ...

Searching in nested sequences like a list of tuple requires an approach like searching the keys for values in dict but needs customized functions. The index of the outermost sequence if the value was found in the sequence: def outer_index(nested_sequence, value): return next(index for index, ...

int i = 42; i = i++; /* Assignment changes variable, post-increment as well */ int a = i++ + i--; Code like this often leads to speculations about the "resulting value" of i. Rather than specifying an outcome, however, the C standards specify that evaluating such an expression produc...

println! (and its sibling, print!) provides a convenient mechanism for producing and printing text that contains dynamic data, similar to the printf family of functions found in many other languages. Its first argument is a format string, which dictates how the other arguments should be printed as t...

6 Fetch request promises initially return Response objects. These will provide response header information, but they don't directly include the response body, which may not have even loaded yet. Methods on the Response object such as .json() can be used to wait for the response body to load, then p...

try/catch try..catch blocks can be used to control the flow of a program where Exceptions may be thrown. They can be caught and handled gracefully rather than letting PHP stop when one is encountered: try { // Do a bunch of things... throw new Exception('My test exception!'); } catch (E...

One common pitfall when using dictionaries is to access a non-existent key. This typically results in a KeyError exception mydict = {} mydict['not there'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> KeyError: 'not there' One way to avoid...

A replacer function can be used to filter or transform values being serialized. const userRecords = [ {name: "Joe", points: 14.9, level: 31.5}, {name: "Jane", points: 35.5, level: 74.4}, {name: "Jacob", points: 18.5, level: 41.2}, {name: "Jessie",...

You can use a custom toJSON method and reviver function to transmit instances of your own class in JSON. If an object has a toJSON method, its result will be serialized instead of the object itself. 6 function Car(color, speed) { this.color = color; this.speed = speed; } Car.prototype.to...

Inheritance in Python is based on similar ideas used in other object oriented languages like Java, C++ etc. A new class can be derived from an existing class as follows. class BaseClass(object): pass class DerivedClass(BaseClass): pass The BaseClass is the already existing (parent)...

Instance variables are unique for each instance, while class variables are shared by all instances. class C: x = 2 # class variable def __init__(self, y): self.y = y # instance variable C.x # 2 C.y # AttributeError: type object 'C' has no attribute 'y' c1 = C(3) c1....
