A thread is a part of a program that can execute independently of other parts. It can perform tasks simultaneously with other threads. Multithreading is a feature that enables programs to perform concurrent processing so that more than one operation can be done at a time. For example, you can use...

The process of overload resolution is described in the C# specification, section 7.5.3. Also relevant are the sections 7.5.2 (type inference) and 7.6.5 (invocation expressions). How overload resolution works will probably be changed in C# 7. The design notes indicate that Microsoft will roll out ...

Gradle is a JVM-based build system that enables developers to write high-level scripts that can be used to automate the process of compilation and application production. It is a flexible plugin-based system, which allows you to automate various aspects of the build process; including compiling and ...

Concurrent computing is a form of computing in which several computations are executed concurrently instead of sequentially. Java language is designed to support concurrent programming through the usage of threads. Objects and resources can be accessed by multiple threads; each thread can potentiall...

The Executor interface in Java provides a way of decoupling task submission from the mechanics of how each task will be run, including details of thread use, scheduling, etc. An Executor is normally used instead of explicitly creating threads. With Executors, developers won't have to significantly r...

NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(jsonData, options: NSJSONReadingOptions) // Returns an Object from jsonData. This method throws on failure. NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(jsonObject, options: NSJSONWritingOptions) // Returns NSData from a JSON object. Pass in NSJSONWritingOptions....

HTML provides not only plain paragraph tags, but six separate header tags to indicate headings of various sizes and thicknesses. Enumerated as heading 1 through heading 6, heading 1 has the largest and thickest text while heading 6 is the smallest and thinnest, down to the paragraph level. This topi...

Integer Literals is a numeral without a decimal point for example 0, 1, 42, ... is implicitly applied to fromInteger which is part of the Num type class so it indeed has type Num a => a - that is it can have any type that is an instance of Num Fractional Literals is a numeral with a ...

require spl_autoload_require Autoloading, as part of a framework strategy, eases the amount of boilerplate code you have to write.

CSS specificity intends to promote code conciseness by allowing an author to define some general formatting rules for a broad set of elements, and then to override them for a certain subset.

read.csv(file, header = TRUE, sep = ",", quote = """, dec = ".", fill = TRUE, comment.char = "", ...) read.csv2(file, header = TRUE, sep = ";", quote = """, dec = ",", fill = TRUE, comment.char = "", ....

See also separate topic on Overload Resolution Ambiguities can occur when one type can be implicitly converted into more than one type and there is no matching function for that specific type. For example: void foo(double, double); void foo(long, long); //Call foo with 2 ints foo(1, 2);...

Threads allow Python programs to handle multiple functions at once as opposed to running a sequence of commands individually. This topic explains the principles behind threading and demonstrates its usage.

In C++, it is possible to define operators such as + and -> for user-defined types. For example, the <string> header defines a + operator to concatenate strings. This is done by defining an operator function using the operator keyword. The operators for built-in types cannot be change...

Delphi is a general-purpose language based on an Object Pascal dialect with its roots coming from Borland Turbo Pascal. It comes with its own IDE designed to support rapid application development (RAD). It allows cross-platform native (compiled) application development from a single code base. Cu...
