Programs & Examples On #Simpletest

Simpletest is a Unit and Web Testing framework developed in PHP. You can read more about it and how to set it up at http://simpletest.org/.

Eclipse JUnit - possible causes of seeing "initializationError" in Eclipse window

For me it was a silly mistake. I inadvertently set the test as private instead of public:

@Test
private void thisTestWasCausingProblems() {
...
}

it should have been

@Test
public void thisTestIsOK() {
...
}

Why does visual studio 2012 not find my tests?

I was experiencing this issue many times when I try to build the solution in a different PC.

I am using NUnit and Specflow as well. By default My test project targets X86 But I have to change this to X64. Steps are 1. Test Menu -> Test Setting -Default Processor Architecture -> x64. 2. Clean Build 3. Build 4. If still tests didn't show up. 5. Go to Tools ? Extensions and Updates Then Install NUnit and Specflow libraries 6. Clean Build 7. Build

Then usually test will showed up in Test Editor.

Remove specific characters from a string in Python

Even the below approach works

line = "a,b,c,d,e"
alpha = list(line)
        while ',' in alpha:
            alpha.remove(',')
finalString = ''.join(alpha)
print(finalString)

output: abcde

Command line input in Python

Just Taking Input

the_input = raw_input("Enter input: ")

And that's it.

Moreover, if you want to make a list of inputs, you can do something like:

a = []

for x in xrange(1,10):
    a.append(raw_input("Enter Data: "))

In that case, you'll be asked for data 10 times to store 9 items in a list.

Output:

Enter data: 2
Enter data: 3
Enter data: 4
Enter data: 5
Enter data: 7
Enter data: 3
Enter data: 8
Enter data: 22
Enter data: 5
>>> a
['2', '3', '4', '5', '7', '3', '8', '22', '5']

You can search that list the fundamental way with something like (after making that list):

if '2' in a:
    print "Found"

else: print "Not found."

You can replace '2' with "raw_input()" like this:

if raw_input("Search for: ") in a:
    print "Found"
else: 
    print "Not found"

Taking Raw Data From Input File via Commandline Interface

If you want to take the input from a file you feed through commandline (which is normally what you need when doing code problems for competitions, like Google Code Jam or the ACM/IBM ICPC):

example.py

while(True):
    line = raw_input()
    print "input data: %s" % line

In command line interface:

example.py < input.txt

Hope that helps.

Convert list of ASCII codes to string (byte array) in Python

For Python 2.6 and later if you are dealing with bytes then a bytearray is the most obvious choice:

>>> str(bytearray([17, 24, 121, 1, 12, 222, 34, 76]))
'\x11\x18y\x01\x0c\xde"L'

To me this is even more direct than Alex Martelli's answer - still no string manipulation or len call but now you don't even need to import anything!

ORA-12514 TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

The problem was that my connection string url contained database name instead of SID. Replacing database name with oracle database connection SID solved this problem.

To know your oracle SID's you can browse tnsnames.ora file.

XE was the actual SID, so this is how my tomcat connection string looks like now:

    <Resource
       name="jdbc/my_db_conn"
       auth="Container"
       type="javax.sql.DataSource"
       driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
       url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@//127.0.0.1:1521/XE"
       username="test_user"
       password="test" />

My server version was "Oracle 11.2 Express", but solution should work on other versions too.

SQL Server Management Studio – tips for improving the TSQL coding process

Devart' SQL Complete express edition is an SSMS addon and is a free and useful addon. It provides much needed code formatting and intellisense features.

I also use SSMSToolsPack addon and it is very good. I Love;

  1. It's SQL snippets where you can create short keys for code snippets and it appends them automatically when you type these keys and press enter.
  2. Search through history to retrieve your queries which you ran months ago and forgot, saved a lot of my time.
  3. Restore last session. Now I never save my queries if I have to just restart my windows. I just click on restore last session and my last session gets and restored and connection created automatically.
  4. Create insert statements from query results (very useful). Just love this addon.

A small catch recently introduced. SSMSToolsPack is not free anymore for SSMS 2012. It's still free for SSMS 2005 and SSMS 2008, till yet. Use it only if you want to buy it when you migrate to SSMS 2012. Otherwise may be it's a good idea to wean away from it.

Restart android machine

adb reboot should not reboot your linux box.

But in any case, you can redirect the command to a specific adb device using adb -s <device_id> command , where

Device ID can be obtained from the command adb devices
command in this case is reboot

OS X Framework Library not loaded: 'Image not found'

I experienced that problem only when running on real device (iPhone SE). On simulator project worked as expected.

I did try all fixes from this very thread and from here. None of those worked for me.

For me problem was solved after restarting iPhone (sic!).

I did:

  • clean build folder,
  • clean derived data,
  • delete app from device,
  • reboot device

And it finally works. :)

If every other solution fails don't forget to try it out.

Joining Spark dataframes on the key

Let me explain with an example

  1. create emp DataFrame

    import spark.sqlContext.implicits._ val emp = Seq((1,"Smith",-1,"2018","10","M",3000), (2,"Rose",1,"2010","20","M",4000), (3,"Williams",1,"2010","10","M",1000), (4,"Jones",2,"2005","10","F",2000), (5,"Brown",2,"2010","40","",-1), (6,"Brown",2,"2010","50","",-1) ) val empColumns = Seq("emp_id","name","superior_emp_id","year_joined", "emp_dept_id","gender","salary")

    val empDF = emp.toDF(empColumns:_*)

  2. Create dept DataFrame

    val dept = Seq(("Finance",10), ("Marketing",20), ("Sales",30), ("IT",40) )

    val deptColumns = Seq("dept_name","dept_id") val deptDF = dept.toDF(deptColumns:_*)

Now let's join emp.emp_dept_id with dept.dept_id

empDF.join(deptDF,empDF("emp_dept_id") ===  deptDF("dept_id"),"inner")
    .show(false)

This results below

+------+--------+---------------+-----------+-----------+------+------+---------+-------+
|emp_id|name    |superior_emp_id|year_joined|emp_dept_id|gender|salary|dept_name|dept_id|
+------+--------+---------------+-----------+-----------+------+------+---------+-------+
|1     |Smith   |-1             |2018       |10         |M     |3000  |Finance  |10     |
|2     |Rose    |1              |2010       |20         |M     |4000  |Marketing|20     |
|3     |Williams|1              |2010       |10         |M     |1000  |Finance  |10     |
|4     |Jones   |2              |2005       |10         |F     |2000  |Finance  |10     |
|5     |Brown   |2              |2010       |40         |      |-1    |IT       |40     |

Django datetime issues (default=datetime.now())

In Django 3.0 auto_now_add seems to work with auto_now

reg_date=models.DateField(auto_now=True,blank=True)

Adding integers to an int array

To add an element to an array you need to use the format:

array[index] = element;

Where array is the array you declared, index is the position where the element will be stored, and element is the item you want to store in the array.

In your code, you'd want to do something like this:

int[] num = new int[args.length];
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
    int neki = Integer.parseInt(args[i]);
    num[i] = neki;
}

The add() method is available for Collections like List and Set. You could use it if you were using an ArrayList (see the documentation), for example:

List<Integer> num = new ArrayList<>();
for (String s : args) {
    int neki = Integer.parseInt(s);
    num.add(neki);
}

Hiding and Showing TabPages in tabControl

    public static Action<Func<TabPage, bool>> GetTabHider(this TabControl container) {
        if (container == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("container");

        var orderedCache = new List<TabPage>();
        var orderedEnumerator = container.TabPages.GetEnumerator();
        while (orderedEnumerator.MoveNext()) {
            var current = orderedEnumerator.Current as TabPage;
            if (current != null) {
                orderedCache.Add(current);
            }
        }

        return (Func<TabPage, bool> where) => {
            if (where == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("where");

            container.TabPages.Clear();
            foreach (TabPage page in orderedCache) {
                if (where(page)) {
                    container.TabPages.Add(page);
                }
            }
        };
    }

Used like this:

    var showOnly = this.TabContainer1.GetTabHider();
    showOnly((tab) => tab.Text != "tabPage1");

Original ordering is retained by retaining a reference to the anonymous function instance.

What is output buffering?

UPDATE 2019. If you have dedicated server and SSD or better NVM, 3.5GHZ. You shouldn't use buffering to make faster loaded website in 100ms-150ms.

Becouse network is slowly than proccesing script in the 2019 with performance servers (severs,memory,disk) and with turn on APC PHP :) To generated script sometimes need only 70ms another time is only network takes time, from 10ms up to 150ms from located user-server.

so if you want be fast 150ms, buffering make slowl, becouse need extra collection buffer data it make extra cost. 10 years ago when server make 1s script, it was usefull.

Please becareful output_buffering have limit if you would like using jpg to loading it can flush automate and crash sending.

Cheers.

You can make fast river or You can make safely tama :)

issue ORA-00001: unique constraint violated coming in INSERT/UPDATE

The error message will include the name of the constraint that was violated (there may be more than one unique constraint on a table). You can use that constraint name to identify the column(s) that the unique constraint is declared on

SELECT column_name, position
  FROM all_cons_columns
 WHERE constraint_name = <<name of constraint from the error message>>
   AND owner           = <<owner of the table>>
   AND table_name      = <<name of the table>>

Once you know what column(s) are affected, you can compare the data you're trying to INSERT or UPDATE against the data already in the table to determine why the constraint is being violated.

How to make a copy of an object in C#

Properties in your object are value types and you can use the shallow copy in such situation like that:

obj myobj2 = (obj)myobj.MemberwiseClone();

But in other situations, like if any members are reference types, then you need Deep Copy. You can get a deep copy of an object using Serialization and Deserialization techniques with the help of BinaryFormatter class:

public static T DeepCopy<T>(T other)
{
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
        formatter.Context = new StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates.Clone);
        formatter.Serialize(ms, other);
        ms.Position = 0;
        return (T)formatter.Deserialize(ms);
    }
}

The purpose of setting StreamingContext: We can introduce special serialization and deserialization logic to our code with the help of either implementing ISerializable interface or using built-in attributes like OnDeserialized, OnDeserializing, OnSerializing, OnSerialized. In all cases StreamingContext will be passed as an argument to the methods(and to the special constructor in case of ISerializable interface). With setting ContextState to Clone, we are just giving hint to that method about the purpose of the serialization.

Additional Info: (you can also read this article from MSDN)

Shallow copying is creating a new object and then copying the nonstatic fields of the current object to the new object. If a field is a value type, a bit-by-bit copy of the field is performed; for a reference type, the reference is copied but the referred object is not; therefore the original object and its clone refer to the same object.

Deep copy is creating a new object and then copying the nonstatic fields of the current object to the new object. If a field is a value type, a bit-by-bit copy of the field is performed. If a field is a reference type, a new copy of the referred object is performed.

Wait for Angular 2 to load/resolve model before rendering view/template

Try {{model?.person.name}} this should wait for model to not be undefined and then render.

Angular 2 refers to this ?. syntax as the Elvis operator. Reference to it in the documentation is hard to find so here is a copy of it in case they change/move it:

The Elvis Operator ( ?. ) and null property paths

The Angular “Elvis” operator ( ?. ) is a fluent and convenient way to guard against null and undefined values in property paths. Here it is, protecting against a view render failure if the currentHero is null.

The current hero's name is {{currentHero?.firstName}}

Let’s elaborate on the problem and this particular solution.

What happens when the following data bound title property is null?

The title is {{ title }}

The view still renders but the displayed value is blank; we see only "The title is" with nothing after it. That is reasonable behavior. At least the app doesn't crash.

Suppose the template expression involves a property path as in this next example where we’re displaying the firstName of a null hero.

The null hero's name is {{nullHero.firstName}}

JavaScript throws a null reference error and so does Angular:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'firstName' of null in [null]

Worse, the entire view disappears.

We could claim that this is reasonable behavior if we believed that the hero property must never be null. If it must never be null and yet it is null, we've made a programming error that should be caught and fixed. Throwing an exception is the right thing to do.

On the other hand, null values in the property path may be OK from time to time, especially when we know the data will arrive eventually.

While we wait for data, the view should render without complaint and the null property path should display as blank just as the title property does.

Unfortunately, our app crashes when the currentHero is null.

We could code around that problem with NgIf

<!--No hero, div not displayed, no error --> <div *ngIf="nullHero">The null hero's name is {{nullHero.firstName}}</div>

Or we could try to chain parts of the property path with &&, knowing that the expression bails out when it encounters the first null.

The null hero's name is {{nullHero && nullHero.firstName}}

These approaches have merit but they can be cumbersome, especially if the property path is long. Imagine guarding against a null somewhere in a long property path such as a.b.c.d.

The Angular “Elvis” operator ( ?. ) is a more fluent and convenient way to guard against nulls in property paths. The expression bails out when it hits the first null value. The display is blank but the app keeps rolling and there are no errors.

<!-- No hero, no problem! --> The null hero's name is {{nullHero?.firstName}}

It works perfectly with long property paths too:

a?.b?.c?.d

What should main() return in C and C++?

What to return depends on what you want to do with the executable. For example if you are using your program with a command line shell, then you need to return 0 for a success and a non zero for failure. Then you would be able to use the program in shells with conditional processing depending on the outcome of your code. Also you can assign any nonzero value as per your interpretation, for example for critical errors different program exit points could terminate a program with different exit values , and which is available to the calling shell which can decide what to do by inspecting the value returned. If the code is not intended for use with shells and the returned value does not bother anybody then it might be omitted. I personally use the signature int main (void) { .. return 0; .. }

Determining Referer in PHP

We have only single option left after reading all the fake referrer problems: i.e. The page we desire to track as referrer should be kept in session, and as ajax called then checking in session if it has referrer page value and doing the action other wise no action.

While on the other hand as he request any different page then make the referrer session value to null.

Remember that session variable is set on desire page request only.

Android Get Current timestamp?

I suggest using Hits's answer, but adding a Locale format, this is how Android Developers recommends:

try {
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.getDefault());
        return dateFormat.format(new Date()); // Find todays date
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

        return null;
    }

(Deep) copying an array using jQuery

I've come across this "deep object copy" function that I've found handy for duplicating objects by value. It doesn't use jQuery, but it certainly is deep.

OS X Sprite Kit Game Optimal Default Window Size

You should target the smallest, not the largest, supported pixel resolution by the devices your app can run on.

Say if there's an actual Mac computer that can run OS X 10.9 and has a native screen resolution of only 1280x720 then that's the resolution you should focus on. Any higher and your game won't correctly run on this device and you could as well remove that device from your supported devices list.

You can rely on upscaling to match larger screen sizes, but you can't rely on downscaling to preserve possibly important image details such as text or smaller game objects.

The next most important step is to pick a fitting aspect ratio, be it 4:3 or 16:9 or 16:10, that ideally is the native aspect ratio on most of the supported devices. Make sure your game only scales to fit on devices with a different aspect ratio.

You could scale to fill but then you must ensure that on all devices the cropped areas will not negatively impact gameplay or the use of the app in general (ie text or buttons outside the visible screen area). This will be harder to test as you'd actually have to have one of those devices or create a custom build that crops the view accordingly.

Alternatively you can design multiple versions of your game for specific and very common screen resolutions to provide the best game experience from 13" through 27" displays. Optimized designs for iMac (desktop) and a Macbook (notebook) devices make the most sense, it'll be harder to justify making optimized versions for 13" and 15" plus 21" and 27" screens.

But of course this depends a lot on the game. For example a tile-based world game could simply provide a larger viewing area onto the world on larger screen resolutions rather than scaling the view up. Provided that this does not alter gameplay, like giving the player an unfair advantage (specifically in multiplayer).

You should provide @2x images for the Retina Macbook Pro and future Retina Macs.

"Active Directory Users and Computers" MMC snap-in for Windows 7?

iterating and filtering two lists using java 8

`List<String> unavailable = list1.stream()
                .filter(e -> (list2.stream()
                        .filter(d -> d.getStr().equals(e))
                        .count())<1)
                        .collect(Collectors.toList());`
for this if i change to 
`List<String> unavailable = list1.stream()
                .filter(e -> (list2.stream()
                        .filter(d -> d.getStr().equals(e))
                        .count())>0)
                        .collect(Collectors.toList());`
will it give me list1 matched with list2 right? 

How to set Angular 4 background image?

If you plan using background images a lot throughout your project you may find it useful to create a really simple custom pipe that will create the url for you.

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';

@Pipe({
  name: 'asUrl'
})
export class BackgroundUrlPipe implements PipeTransform {

  transform(value: string): string {
    return `url(./images/${value})`
  }

}

Then you can add background images without all the string concatenation.

<div [ngStyle]="{ background: trls.img | asUrl }"></div>

jQuery to serialize only elements within a div

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.LinkedHashMap cannot be cast to com.testing.models.Account

The way I could mitigate the JSON Array to collection of LinkedHashMap objects problem was by using CollectionType rather than a TypeReference . This is what I did and worked:

public <T> List<T> jsonArrayToObjectList(String json, Class<T> tClass) throws IOException {
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    CollectionType listType = mapper.getTypeFactory().constructCollectionType(ArrayList.class, tClass);
    List<T> ts = mapper.readValue(json, listType);
    LOGGER.debug("class name: {}", ts.get(0).getClass().getName());
    return ts;
}

Using the TypeReference, I was still getting an ArrayList of LinkedHashMaps, i.e. does not work:

public <T> List<T> jsonArrayToObjectList(String json, Class<T> tClass) throws IOException {
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    List<T> ts = mapper.readValue(json, new TypeReference<List<T>>(){});
    LOGGER.debug("class name: {}", ts.get(0).getClass().getName());
    return ts;
}

How do I get a decimal value when using the division operator in Python?

Add the following function in your code with its callback.

# Starting of the function
def divide(number_one, number_two, decimal_place = 4):
    quotient = number_one/number_two
    remainder = number_one % number_two
    if remainder != 0:
        quotient_str = str(quotient)
        for loop in range(0, decimal_place):
            if loop == 0:
                quotient_str += "."
            surplus_quotient = (remainder * 10) / number_two
            quotient_str += str(surplus_quotient)
            remainder = (remainder * 10) % number_two
            if remainder == 0:
                break
        return float(quotient_str)
    else:
        return quotient
#Ending of the function

# Calling back the above function
# Structure : divide(<divident>, <divisor>, <decimal place(optional)>)
divide(1, 7, 10) # Output : 0.1428571428
# OR
divide(1, 7) # Output : 0.1428

This function works on the basis of "Euclid Division Algorithm". This function is very useful if you don't want to import any external header files in your project.

Syntex : divide([divident], [divisor], [decimal place(optional))

Code : divide(1, 7, 10) OR divide(1, 7)

How to include (source) R script in other scripts

Creating a static class with no instances

The Pythonic way to create a static class is simply to declare those methods outside of a class (Java uses classes both for objects and for grouping related functions, but Python modules are sufficient for grouping related functions that do not require any object instance). However, if you insist on making a method at the class level that doesn't require an instance (rather than simply making it a free-standing function in your module), you can do so by using the "@staticmethod" decorator.

That is, the Pythonic way would be:

# My module
elements = []

def add_element(x):
  elements.append(x)

But if you want to mirror the structure of Java, you can do:

# My module
class World(object):
  elements = []

  @staticmethod
  def add_element(x):
    World.elements.append(x)

You can also do this with @classmethod if you care to know the specific class (which can be handy if you want to allow the static method to be inherited by a class inheriting from this class):

# My module
class World(object):
  elements = []

  @classmethod
  def add_element(cls, x):
    cls.elements.append(x)

Moment.js - two dates difference in number of days

Here's how you can get the comprehensive full fledge difference of two dates.

 function diffYMDHMS(date1, date2) {

    let years = date1.diff(date2, 'year');
    date2.add(years, 'years');

    let months = date1.diff(date2, 'months');
    date2.add(months, 'months');

    let days = date1.diff(date2, 'days');

nodejs get file name from absolute path?

To get the file name portion of the file name, the basename method is used:

var path = require("path");
var fileName = "C:\\Python27\\ArcGIS10.2\\python.exe";
var file = path.basename(fileName);

console.log(file); // 'python.exe'

If you want the file name without the extension, you can pass the extension variable (containing the extension name) to the basename method telling Node to return only the name without the extension:

var path = require("path");
var fileName = "C:\\Python27\\ArcGIS10.2\\python.exe";
var extension = path.extname(fileName);
var file = path.basename(fileName,extension);

console.log(file); // 'python'

How do I disable text selection with CSS or JavaScript?

You can use JavaScript to do what you want:


if (document.addEventListener !== undefined) {
  // Not IE
  document.addEventListener('click', checkSelection, false);
} else {
  // IE
  document.attachEvent('onclick', checkSelection);
}

function checkSelection() {
    var sel = {};
    if (window.getSelection) {
        // Mozilla
        sel = window.getSelection();
    } else if (document.selection) {
        // IE
        sel = document.selection.createRange();
    }

    // Mozilla
    if (sel.rangeCount) {
        sel.removeAllRanges();
        return;
    }

    // IE
    if (sel.text > '') {
        document.selection.empty();
        return;
    }
}

How To Inject AuthenticationManager using Java Configuration in a Custom Filter

Override method authenticationManagerBean in WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter to expose the AuthenticationManager built using configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder) as a Spring bean:

For example:

   @Bean(name = BeanIds.AUTHENTICATION_MANAGER)
   @Override
   public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
       return super.authenticationManagerBean();
   }

One DbContext per web request... why?

One thing that's not really addressed in the question or the discussion is the fact that DbContext can't cancel changes. You can submit changes, but you can't clear out the change tree, so if you use a per request context you're out of luck if you need to throw changes away for whatever reason.

Personally I create instances of DbContext when needed - usually attached to business components that have the ability to recreate the context if required. That way I have control over the process, rather than having a single instance forced onto me. I also don't have to create the DbContext at each controller startup regardless of whether it actually gets used. Then if I still want to have per request instances I can create them in the CTOR (via DI or manually) or create them as needed in each controller method. Personally I usually take the latter approach as to avoid creating DbContext instances when they are not actually needed.

It depends from which angle you look at it too. To me the per request instance has never made sense. Does the DbContext really belong into the Http Request? In terms of behavior that's the wrong place. Your business components should be creating your context, not the Http request. Then you can create or throw away your business components as needed and never worry about the lifetime of the context.

Why use multiple columns as primary keys (composite primary key)

You use a compound key (a key with more than one attribute) whenever you want to ensure the uniqueness of a combination of several attributes. A single attribute key would not achieve the same thing.

C99 quotes

This answer aims to quote and explain the relevant parts of the C99 N1256 standard draft.

Definition of declarator

The term declarator will come up a lot, so let's understand it.

From the language grammar, we find that the following underline characters are declarators:

int f(int x, int y);
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

int f(int x, int y) { return x + y; }
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

int f();
    ^^^

int f(x, y) int x; int y; { return x + y; }
    ^^^^^^^

Declarators are part of both function declarations and definitions.

There are 2 types of declarators:

  • parameter type list
  • identifier list

Parameter type list

Declarations look like:

int f(int x, int y);

Definitions look like:

int f(int x, int y) { return x + y; }

It is called parameter type list because we must give the type of each parameter.

Identifier list

Definitions look like:

int f(x, y)
    int x;
    int y;
{ return x + y; }

Declarations look like:

int g();

We cannot declare a function with a non-empty identifier list:

int g(x, y);

because 6.7.5.3 "Function declarators (including prototypes)" says:

3 An identifier list in a function declarator that is not part of a definition of that function shall be empty.

It is called identifier list because we only give the identifiers x and y on f(x, y), types come after.

This is an older method, and shouldn't be used anymore. 6.11.6 Function declarators says:

1 The use of function declarators with empty parentheses (not prototype-format parameter type declarators) is an obsolescent feature.

and the Introduction explains what is an obsolescent feature:

Certain features are obsolescent, which means that they may be considered for withdrawal in future revisions of this International Standard. They are retained because of their widespread use, but their use in new implementations (for implementation features) or new programs (for language [6.11] or library features [7.26]) is discouraged

f() vs f(void) for declarations

When you write just:

void f();

it is necessarily an identifier list declaration, because 6.7.5 "Declarators" says defines the grammar as:

direct-declarator:
    [...]
    direct-declarator ( parameter-type-list )
    direct-declarator ( identifier-list_opt )

so only the identifier-list version can be empty because it is optional (_opt).

direct-declarator is the only grammar node that defines the parenthesis (...) part of the declarator.

So how do we disambiguate and use the better parameter type list without parameters? 6.7.5.3 Function declarators (including prototypes) says:

10 The special case of an unnamed parameter of type void as the only item in the list specifies that the function has no parameters.

So:

void f(void);

is the way.

This is a magic syntax explicitly allowed, since we cannot use a void type argument in any other way:

void f(void v);
void f(int i, void);
void f(void, int);

What can happen if I use an f() declaration?

Maybe the code will compile just fine: 6.7.5.3 Function declarators (including prototypes):

14 The empty list in a function declarator that is not part of a definition of that function specifies that no information about the number or types of the parameters is supplied.

So you can get away with:

void f();
void f(int x) {}

Other times, UB can creep up (and if you are lucky the compiler will tell you), and you will have a hard time figuring out why:

void f();
void f(float x) {}

See: Why does an empty declaration work for definitions with int arguments but not for float arguments?

f() and f(void) for definitions

f() {}

vs

f(void) {}

are similar, but not identical.

6.7.5.3 Function declarators (including prototypes) says:

14 An empty list in a function declarator that is part of a definition of that function specifies that the function has no parameters.

which looks similar to the description of f(void).

But still... it seems that:

int f() { return 0; }
int main(void) { f(1); }

is conforming undefined behavior, while:

int f(void) { return 0; }
int main(void) { f(1); }

is non conforming as discussed at: Why does gcc allow arguments to be passed to a function defined to be with no arguments?

TODO understand exactly why. Has to do with being a prototype or not. Define prototype.

Convert between UIImage and Base64 string

Decoding using convenience initialiser - Swift 5

extension UIImage {
    convenience init?(base64String: String) {
        guard let data = Data(base64Encoded: base64String) else { return nil }
        self.init(data: data)
    }
} 

Convert a tensor to numpy array in Tensorflow?

You need to:

  1. encode the image tensor in some format (jpeg, png) to binary tensor
  2. evaluate (run) the binary tensor in a session
  3. turn the binary to stream
  4. feed to PIL image
  5. (optional) displaythe image with matplotlib

Code:

import tensorflow as tf
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import PIL

...

image_tensor = <your decoded image tensor>
jpeg_bin_tensor = tf.image.encode_jpeg(image_tensor)

with tf.Session() as sess:
    # display encoded back to image data
    jpeg_bin = sess.run(jpeg_bin_tensor)
    jpeg_str = StringIO.StringIO(jpeg_bin)
    jpeg_image = PIL.Image.open(jpeg_str)
    plt.imshow(jpeg_image)

This worked for me. You can try it in a ipython notebook. Just don't forget to add the following line:

%matplotlib inline

How to get the Facebook user id using the access token

The facebook acess token looks similar too "1249203702|2.h1MTNeLqcLqw__.86400.129394400-605430316|-WE1iH_CV-afTgyhDPc"

if you extract the middle part by using | to split you get

2.h1MTNeLqcLqw__.86400.129394400-605430316

then split again by -

the last part 605430316 is the user id.

Here is the C# code to extract the user id from the access token:

   public long ParseUserIdFromAccessToken(string accessToken)
   {
        Contract.Requires(!string.isNullOrEmpty(accessToken);

        /*
         * access_token:
         *   1249203702|2.h1MTNeLqcLqw__.86400.129394400-605430316|-WE1iH_CV-afTgyhDPc
         *                                               |_______|
         *                                                   |
         *                                                user id
         */

        long userId = 0;

        var accessTokenParts = accessToken.Split('|');

        if (accessTokenParts.Length == 3)
        {
            var idPart = accessTokenParts[1];
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(idPart))
            {
                var index = idPart.LastIndexOf('-');
                if (index >= 0)
                {
                    string id = idPart.Substring(index + 1);
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(id))
                    {
                        return id;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return null;
    }

WARNING: The structure of the access token is undocumented and may not always fit the pattern above. Use it at your own risk.

Update Due to changes in Facebook. the preferred method to get userid from the encrypted access token is as follows:

try
{
    var fb = new FacebookClient(accessToken);
    var result = (IDictionary<string, object>)fb.Get("/me?fields=id");
    return (string)result["id"];
}
catch (FacebookOAuthException)
{
    return null;
}

How to run Maven from another directory (without cd to project dir)?

You can use the parameter -f (or --file) and specify the path to your pom file, e.g. mvn -f /path/to/pom.xml

This runs maven "as if" it were in /path/to for the working directory.

How can I list the scheduled jobs running in my database?

Because the SCHEDULER_ADMIN role is a powerful role allowing a grantee to execute code as any user, you should consider granting individual Scheduler system privileges instead. Object and system privileges are granted using regular SQL grant syntax. An example is if the database administrator issues the following statement:

GRANT CREATE JOB TO scott;

After this statement is executed, scott can create jobs, schedules, or programs in his schema.

How add items(Text & Value) to ComboBox & read them in SelectedIndexChanged (SelectedValue = null)

try this:

ComboBox cbx = new ComboBox();
cbx.DisplayMember = "Text";
cbx.ValueMember = "Value";

EDIT (a little explanation, sory, I also didn't notice your combobox wasn't bound, I blame the lack of caffeine):

The difference between SelectedValue and SelectedItem are explained pretty well here: ComboBox SelectedItem vs SelectedValue

So, if your combobox is not bound to datasource, DisplayMember and ValueMember doesn't do anything, and SelectedValue will always be null, SelectedValueChanged won't be called. So either bind your combobox:

            comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Text";
            comboBox1.ValueMember = "Value";

            List<ComboboxItem> list = new List<ComboboxItem>();

            ComboboxItem item = new ComboboxItem();
            item.Text = "choose a server...";
            item.Value = "-1";
            list.Add(item);

            item = new ComboboxItem();
            item.Text = "S1";
            item.Value = "1";
            list.Add(item);

            item = new ComboboxItem();
            item.Text = "S2";
            item.Value = "2";
            list.Add(item);

            cbx.DataSource = list; // bind combobox to a datasource

or use SelectedItem property:

if (cbx.SelectedItem != null)
             Console.WriteLine("ITEM: "+comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString());

What do the different readystates in XMLHttpRequest mean, and how can I use them?

The full list of readyState values is:

State  Description
0      The request is not initialized
1      The request has been set up
2      The request has been sent
3      The request is in process
4      The request is complete

(from https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_ajax_http_response.asp)

In practice you almost never use any of them except for 4.

Some XMLHttpRequest implementations may let you see partially received responses in responseText when readyState==3, but this isn't universally supported and shouldn't be relied upon.

Changing Background Image with CSS3 Animations

Your code can work well with some adaptations :

div {
  background-position: 50% 100%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: contain;
  animation: animateSectionBackground infinite 240s;
}

@keyframes animateSectionBackground {
  00%, 11% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-1.jpg); }
  12%, 24% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-2.jpg); }
  25%, 36% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-3.jpg); }
  37%, 49% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-4.jpg); }
  50%, 61% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-5.jpg); }
  62%, 74% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-6.jpg); }
  75%, 86% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-7.jpg); }
  87%, 99% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-8.jpg); }
}

Here is the explanation of the percentage to suit your situation:

First you need to calculate the "chunks". If you had 8 differents background, you need to do : 100% / 8 = 12.5% (to simplify you can let fall the decimals) => 12%

After that you obtain that :

@keyframes animateSectionBackground {
  00% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-1.jpg); }
  12% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-2.jpg); }
  25% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-3.jpg); }
  37% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-4.jpg); }
  50% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-5.jpg); }
  62% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-6.jpg); }
  75% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-7.jpg); }
  87% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-8.jpg); }
}

If you execute this code, you will see the transition will be permanantly. If you want the backgrounds stay fixed while a moment, you can do like this :

@keyframes animateSectionBackground {
  00%, 11% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-1.jpg); }
  12%, 24% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-2.jpg); }
  25%, 36% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-3.jpg); }
  37%, 49% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-4.jpg); }
  50%, 61% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-5.jpg); }
  62%, 74% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-6.jpg); }
  75%, 86% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-7.jpg); }
  87%, 99% { background-image: url(/assets/images/bg-8.jpg); }
}

That mean you want :

  • bg-1 stay fixed from 00% to 11%
  • bg-2 stay fixed from 12% to 24%
  • etc

By putting 11%, the transtion duration will be 1% (12% - 11% = 1%). 1% of 240s (total duration) => 2.4 seconds.

You can adapt according to your needs.

Sending a notification from a service in Android

This type of Notification is deprecated as seen from documents:

@java.lang.Deprecated
public Notification(int icon, java.lang.CharSequence tickerText, long when) { /* compiled code */ }

public Notification(android.os.Parcel parcel) { /* compiled code */ }

@java.lang.Deprecated
public void setLatestEventInfo(android.content.Context context, java.lang.CharSequence contentTitle, java.lang.CharSequence contentText, android.app.PendingIntent contentIntent) { /* compiled code */ }

Better way
You can send a notification like this:

// prepare intent which is triggered if the
// notification is selected

Intent intent = new Intent(this, NotificationReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);

// build notification
// the addAction re-use the same intent to keep the example short
Notification n  = new Notification.Builder(this)
        .setContentTitle("New mail from " + "[email protected]")
        .setContentText("Subject")
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon)
        .setContentIntent(pIntent)
        .setAutoCancel(true)
        .addAction(R.drawable.icon, "Call", pIntent)
        .addAction(R.drawable.icon, "More", pIntent)
        .addAction(R.drawable.icon, "And more", pIntent).build();


NotificationManager notificationManager = 
  (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

notificationManager.notify(0, n); 

Best way
Code above needs minimum API level 11 (Android 3.0).
If your minimum API level is lower than 11, you should you use support library's NotificationCompat class like this.

So if your minimum target API level is 4+ (Android 1.6+) use this:

    import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
    -------------
    NotificationCompat.Builder builder =
            new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.mylogo)
                    .setContentTitle("My Notification Title")
                    .setContentText("Something interesting happened");
    int NOTIFICATION_ID = 12345;

    Intent targetIntent = new Intent(this, MyFavoriteActivity.class);
    PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, targetIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    builder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
    NotificationManager nManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    nManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());

How to set default value for column of new created table from select statement in 11g

new table inherits only "not null" constraint and no other constraint. Thus you can alter the table after creating it with "create table as" command or you can define all constraint that you need by following the

create table t1 (id number default 1 not null);
insert into t1 (id) values (2);

create table t2 as select * from t1;

This will create table t2 with not null constraint. But for some other constraint except "not null" you should use the following syntax

create table t1 (id number default 1 unique);
insert into t1 (id) values (2);

create table t2 (id default 1 unique)
as select * from t1;

Convert a list to a data frame

Sometimes your data may be a list of lists of vectors of the same length.

lolov = list(list(c(1,2,3),c(4,5,6)), list(c(7,8,9),c(10,11,12),c(13,14,15)) )

(The inner vectors could also be lists, but I'm simplifying to make this easier to read).

Then you can make the following modification. Remember that you can unlist one level at a time:

lov = unlist(lolov, recursive = FALSE )
> lov
[[1]]
[1] 1 2 3

[[2]]
[1] 4 5 6

[[3]]
[1] 7 8 9

[[4]]
[1] 10 11 12

[[5]]
[1] 13 14 15

Now use your favorite method mentioned in the other answers:

library(plyr)
>ldply(lov)
  V1 V2 V3
1  1  2  3
2  4  5  6
3  7  8  9
4 10 11 12
5 13 14 15

Random strings in Python

Answer to the original question:

os.urandom(n)

Quote from: http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html

Return a string of n random bytes suitable for cryptographic use.

This function returns random bytes from an OS-specific randomness source. The returned data should be unpredictable enough for cryptographic applications, though its exact quality depends on the OS implementation. On a UNIX-like system this will query /dev/urandom, and on Windows it will use CryptGenRandom. If a randomness source is not found, NotImplementedError will be raised.

For an easy-to-use interface to the random number generator provided by your platform, please see random.SystemRandom.

Concatenate two char* strings in a C program

strcat(str1, str2) appends str2 after str1. It requires str1 to have enough space to hold str2. In you code, str1 and str2 are all string constants, so it should not work. You may try this way:

char str1[1024];
char *str2 = "kkkk";
strcpy(str1, "ssssss");
strcat(str1, str2);
printf("%s", str1);

More than 1 row in <Input type="textarea" />

Although <input> ignores the rows attribute, you can take advantage of the fact that <textarea> doesn't have to be inside <form> tags, but can still be a part of a form by referencing the form's id:

<form method="get" id="testformid">
    <input type="submit" />
</form> 
<textarea form ="testformid" name="taname" id="taid" cols="35" wrap="soft"></textarea>

Of course, <textarea> now appears below "submit" button, but maybe you'll find a way to reposition it.

Multiple IF statements between number ranges

It's a little tricky because of the nested IFs but here is my answer (confirmed in Google Spreadsheets):

=IF(AND(A2>=0,    A2<500),  "Less than 500", 
 IF(AND(A2>=500,  A2<1000), "Between 500 and 1000", 
 IF(AND(A2>=1000, A2<1500), "Between 1000 and 1500", 
 IF(AND(A2>=1500, A2<2000), "Between 1500 and 2000", "Undefined"))))

Adding a user on .htpasswd

Exact same thing, just omit the -c option. Apache's docs on it here.

htpasswd /etc/apache2/.htpasswd newuser

Also, htpasswd typically isn't run as root. It's typically owned by either the web server, or the owner of the files being served. If you're using root to edit it instead of logging in as one of those users, that's acceptable (I suppose), but you'll want to be careful to make sure you don't accidentally create a file as root (and thus have root own it and no one else be able to edit it).

Zero an array in C code

Using memset:

int something[20];
memset(something, 0, 20 * sizeof(int));

Check for false

If you want to check for false and alert if not, then no there isn't.

If you use if(val), then anything that evaluates to 'truthy', like a non-empty string, will also pass. So it depends on how stringent your criterion is. Using === and !== is generally considered good practice, to avoid accidentally matching truthy or falsy conditions via JavaScript's implicit boolean tests.

How should I call 3 functions in order to execute them one after the other?

your functions should take a callback function, that gets called when it finishes.

function fone(callback){
...do something...
callback.apply(this,[]);

}

function ftwo(callback){
...do something...
callback.apply(this,[]);
}

then usage would be like:

fone(function(){
  ftwo(function(){
   ..ftwo done...
  })
});

Get ALL User Friends Using Facebook Graph API - Android

In v2.0 of the Graph API, calling /me/friends returns the person's friends who also use the app.

In addition, in v2.0, you must request the user_friends permission from each user. user_friends is no longer included by default in every login. Each user must grant the user_friends permission in order to appear in the response to /me/friends. See the Facebook upgrade guide for more detailed information, or review the summary below.

The /me/friendlists endpoint and user_friendlists permission are not what you're after. This endpoint does not return the users friends - its lets you access the lists a person has made to organize their friends. It does not return the friends in each of these lists. This API and permission is useful to allow you to render a custom privacy selector when giving people the opportunity to publish back to Facebook.

If you want to access a list of non-app-using friends, there are two options:

  1. If you want to let your people tag their friends in stories that they publish to Facebook using your App, you can use the /me/taggable_friends API. Use of this endpoint requires review by Facebook and should only be used for the case where you're rendering a list of friends in order to let the user tag them in a post.

  2. If your App is a Game AND your Game supports Facebook Canvas, you can use the /me/invitable_friends endpoint in order to render a custom invite dialog, then pass the tokens returned by this API to the standard Requests Dialog.

In other cases, apps are no longer able to retrieve the full list of a user's friends (only those friends who have specifically authorized your app using the user_friends permission).

For apps wanting allow people to invite friends to use an app, you can still use the Send Dialog on Web or the new Message Dialog on iOS and Android.

Auto-indent in Notepad++

Notepad++ will only auto-insert subsequent indents if you manually indent the first line in a block; otherwise you can re-indent your code after the fact using TextFX > TextFX Edit > Reindent C++ code.

How to get the range of occupied cells in excel sheet

The only way I could get it to work in ALL scenarios (except Protected sheets) (based on Farham's Answer):

It supports:

  • Scanning Hidden Row / Columns

  • Ignores formatted cells with no data / formula

Code:

// Unhide All Cells and clear formats
sheet.Columns.ClearFormats();
sheet.Rows.ClearFormats();

// Detect Last used Row - Ignore cells that contains formulas that result in blank values
int lastRowIgnoreFormulas = sheet.Cells.Find(
                "*",
                System.Reflection.Missing.Value,
                InteropExcel.XlFindLookIn.xlValues,
                InteropExcel.XlLookAt.xlWhole,
                InteropExcel.XlSearchOrder.xlByRows,
                InteropExcel.XlSearchDirection.xlPrevious,
                false,
                System.Reflection.Missing.Value,
                System.Reflection.Missing.Value).Row;
// Detect Last Used Column  - Ignore cells that contains formulas that result in blank values
int lastColIgnoreFormulas = sheet.Cells.Find(
                "*",
                System.Reflection.Missing.Value,
                System.Reflection.Missing.Value,
                System.Reflection.Missing.Value,
                InteropExcel.XlSearchOrder.xlByColumns,
                InteropExcel.XlSearchDirection.xlPrevious,
                false,
                System.Reflection.Missing.Value,
                System.Reflection.Missing.Value).Column;

// Detect Last used Row / Column - Including cells that contains formulas that result in blank values
int lastColIncludeFormulas = sheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count;
int lastColIncludeFormulas = sheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count;

NSUserDefaults - How to tell if a key exists

Swift 3.0

if NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().dictionaryRepresentation().contains({ $0.0 == "Your_Comparison_Key" }){
                    result = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey(self.ticketDetail.ticket_id) as! String

How to find a number in a string using JavaScript?

I thought I'd add my take on this since I'm only interested in the first integer I boiled it down to this:

let errorStringWithNumbers = "error: 404 (not found)";        
let errorNumber = parseInt(errorStringWithNumbers.toString().match(/\d+/g)[0]);

.toString() is added only if you get the "string" from an fetch error. If not, then you can remove it from the line.

A column-vector y was passed when a 1d array was expected

With neuraxle, you can easily solve this :

p = Pipeline([
   # expected outputs shape: (n, 1)
   OutputTransformerWrapper(NumpyRavel()), 
   # expected outputs shape: (n, )
   RandomForestRegressor(**RF_tuned_parameters)
])

p, outputs = p.fit_transform(data_inputs, expected_outputs)

Neuraxle is a sklearn-like framework for hyperparameter tuning and AutoML in deep learning projects !

Can ordered list produce result that looks like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 (instead of just 1, 2, 3, ...) with css?

I needed to add this to the solution posted in 12 as I was using a list with a mixture of ordered list and unordered lists components. content: no-close-quote seems like an odd thing to add I know, but it works...

ol ul li:before {
    content: no-close-quote;
    counter-increment: none;
    display: list-item;
    margin-right: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    right: 10px;
}

When to use references vs. pointers

You properly written example should look like

void add_one(int& n) { n += 1; }
void add_one(int* const n)
{
  if (n)
    *n += 1;
}

That's why references are preferable if possible ...

Add border-bottom to table row <tr>

You can use the box-shadow property to fake a border of a tr element. Adjust Y position of box-shadow (below represented as 2px) to adjust thickness.

tr {

Python: how to capture image from webcam on click using OpenCV

Breaking down your code example (Explanations are under the line of code.)

import cv2

imports openCV for usage

camera = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

creates an object called camera, of type openCV video capture, using the first camera in the list of cameras connected to the computer.

for i in range(10):

tells the program to loop the following indented code 10 times

    return_value, image = camera.read()

read values from the camera object, using it's read method. it resonds with 2 values save the 2 data values into two temporary variables called "return_value" and "image"

    cv2.imwrite('opencv'+str(i)+'.png', image)

use the openCV method imwrite (that writes an image to a disk) and write an image using the data in the temporary data variable

fewer indents means that the loop has now ended...

del(camera)

deletes the camrea object, we no longer needs it.

you can what you request in many ways, one could be to replace the for loop with a while loop, (running forever, instead of 10 times), and then wait for a keypress (like answered by danidee while I was typing)

or create a much more evil service that hides in the background and captures an image everytime someone presses the keyboard...

Redirect on Ajax Jquery Call

JQuery is looking for a json type result, but because the redirect is processed automatically, it will receive the generated html source of your login.htm page.

One idea is to let the the browser know that it should redirect by adding a redirect variable to to the resulting object and checking for it in JQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){ 
    jQuery.ajax({ 
        type: "GET", 
        url: "populateData.htm", 
        dataType:"json", 
        data:"userId=SampleUser", 
        success:function(response){ 
            if (response.redirect) {
                window.location.href = response.redirect;
            }
            else {
                // Process the expected results...
            }
        }, 
     error: function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) { 
            alert('Error!  Status = ' + xhr.status); 
         } 

    }); 
}); 

You could also add a Header Variable to your response and let your browser decide where to redirect. In Java, instead of redirecting, do response.setHeader("REQUIRES_AUTH", "1") and in JQuery you do on success(!):

//....
        success:function(response){ 
            if (response.getResponseHeader('REQUIRES_AUTH') === '1'){ 
                window.location.href = 'login.htm'; 
            }
            else {
                // Process the expected results...
            }
        }
//....

Hope that helps.

Autowiring two beans implementing same interface - how to set default bean to autowire?

The reason why @Resource(name = "{your child class name}") works but @Autowired sometimes don't work is because of the difference of their Matching sequence

Matching sequence of @Autowire
Type, Qualifier, Name

Matching sequence of @Resource
Name, Type, Qualifier

The more detail explanation can be found here:
Inject and Resource and Autowired annotations

In this case, different child class inherited from the parent class or interface confuses @Autowire, because they are from same type; As @Resource use Name as first matching priority , it works.

How to get english language word database?

I do not see http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/ mentioned here, but that is where I would start if I were looking for something like this (and I was, when I stumbled over this question).

If you cannot find what you want there, and what you want is a list of english words, then you should probably spend some extra time describing how to recognize what it is that you want.

Many times the problem comes because php does not support short open tags in php.ini file, i.e:

<?
   phpinfo();
?>

You must use:

<?php
   phpinfo();
?>

doGet and doPost in Servlets

If you do <form action="identification" > for your html form, data will be passed using 'Get' by default and hence you can catch this using doGet function in your java servlet code. This way data will be passed under the HTML header and hence will be visible in the URL when submitted. On the other hand if you want to pass data in HTML body, then USE Post: <form action="identification" method="post"> and catch this data in doPost function. This was, data will be passed under the html body and not the html header, and you will not see the data in the URL after submitting the form.

Examples from my html:

<body>  
<form action="StartProcessUrl" method="post">
.....
.....

Examples from my java servlet code:

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
         String surname = request.getParameter("txtSurname");
         String firstname = request.getParameter("txtForename");
         String rqNo = request.getParameter("txtRQ6");
         String nhsNo = request.getParameter("txtNHSNo");

         String attachment1 = request.getParameter("base64textarea1");
         String attachment2 = request.getParameter("base64textarea2");

How do I generate a list with a specified increment step?

You can use scalar multiplication to modify each element in your vector.

> r <- 0:10 
> r <- r * 2
> r 
 [1]  0  2  4  6  8 10 12 14 16 18 20

or

> r <- 0:10 * 2 
> r 
 [1]  0  2  4  6  8 10 12 14 16 18 20

Best way to find the months between two dates

Somewhat a little prettified solution by @Vin-G.

import datetime

def monthrange(start, finish):
  months = (finish.year - start.year) * 12 + finish.month + 1 
  for i in xrange(start.month, months):
    year  = (i - 1) / 12 + start.year 
    month = (i - 1) % 12 + 1
    yield datetime.date(year, month, 1)

Cannot push to GitHub - keeps saying need merge

First and simple solution:

  • Try this command git push -f origin master.
  • This command will forcefully overwrite remote repository (GitHub)

Recommended Solution 1 :

  • Run these commands:
git pull --allow-unrelated-histories  //this might give you error but nothing to worry, next cmd will fix it
git add *
git commit -m "commit message"
git push

If this doesn't work then follow along

Solution 2 (Not Recommend) :

Will Delete all your commit history

  • Delete .git directory from the folder.

  • Then execute these commands:

      git init
      git add .
      git commit -m "First Commit"
      git remote add origin [url]
      git push -u origin master
    

OR

git push -f origin master 

Only use git push -f origin master if -u dont work for you.

This will solve almost any kind of errors occurring while pushing your files.

How to get the index of an element in an IEnumerable?

The whole point of getting things out as IEnumerable is so you can lazily iterate over the contents. As such, there isn't really a concept of an index. What you are doing really doesn't make a lot of sense for an IEnumerable. If you need something that supports access by index, put it in an actual list or collection.

SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings

1.Finding the conflicting jar

If it's not possible to identify the dependency from the warning, then you can use the following command to identify the conflicting jar

mvn dependency:tree

This will display the dependency tree for the project and dependencies who have pulled in another binding with the slf4j-log4j12 JAR.

  1. Resolution

Now that we know the offending dependency, all that we need to do is exclude the slf4j-log4j12 JAR from that dependency.

Ex - if spring-security dependency has also pulled in another binding with the slf4j-log4j12 JAR, Then we need to exclude the slf4j-log4j12 JAR from the spring-security dependency.

 <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
           <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
    </dependency>

Note - In some cases multiple dependencies have pulled in binding with the slf4j-log4j12 JAR and you don't need to add exclude for each and every dependency who has pulled in. You just have to do that add exclude dependency with the dependency which has been placed at first.

Ex -

<dependencies>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
        </dependency>

</dependencies>

How to run a Python script in the background even after I logout SSH?

Here is a simple solution inside python using a decorator:

import os, time

def daemon(func):
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        if os.fork(): return
        func(*args, **kwargs)
        os._exit(os.EX_OK)
    return wrapper

@daemon
def my_func(count=10):    
  for i in range(0,count):
     print('parent pid: %d' % os.getppid())
     time.sleep(1)


my_func(count=10)
#still in parent thread
time.sleep(2)
#after 2 seconds the function my_func lives on is own

You can of course replace the content of your bgservice.py file in place of my_func.

How to completely uninstall python 2.7.13 on Ubuntu 16.04

How I do:

# Remove python2
sudo apt purge -y python2.7-minimal

# You already have Python3 but 
# don't care about the version 
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

# Same for pip
sudo apt install -y python3-pip
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/pip3 /usr/bin/pip

# Confirm the new version of Python: 3
python --version

Nginx not running with no error message

You should probably check for errors in /var/log/nginx/error.log.

In my case I did no add the port for ipv6. You should also do this (in case you are running nginx on a port other than 80): listen [::]:8000 default_server ipv6only=on;

Xampp localhost/dashboard

Here's what's actually happening localhost means that you want to open htdocs. First it will search for any file named index.php or index.html. If one of those exist it will open the file. If neither of those exist then it will open all folder/file inside htdocs directory which is what you want.

So, the simplest solution is to rename index.php or index.html to index2.php etc.

align 3 images in same row with equal spaces?

I assumed the first DIV is #content :

<div id="content">
   <img src="@Url.Content("~/images/image1.bmp")" alt="" />
   <img src="@Url.Content("~/images/image2.bmp")" alt="" />
   <img src="@Url.Content("~/images/image3.bmp")" alt="" />
</div>

And CSS :

#content{
         width: 700px;
         display: block;
         height: auto;
     }
     #content > img{
        float: left; width: 200px;
        height: 200px;
        margin: 5px 8px;
     }

If input value is blank, assign a value of "empty" with Javascript

I think the easiest way to solve this issue, if you only need it on 1 or 2 boxes is by using the HTML input's "onsubmit" function.

Check this out and i will explain what it does:

<input type="text" name="val" onsubmit="if(this == ''){$this.val('empty');}" />

So we have created the HTML text box, assigned it a name ("val" in this case) and then we added the onsubmit code, this code checks to see if the current input box is empty and if it is, then, upon form submit it will fill it with the words empty.

Please note, this code should also function perfectly when using the HTML "Placeholder" tag as the placeholder tag doesn't actually assign a value to the input box.

How do I run a Python script from C#?

I ran into the same problem and Master Morality's answer didn't do it for me. The following, which is based on the previous answer, worked:

private void run_cmd(string cmd, string args)
{
 ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
 start.FileName = cmd;//cmd is full path to python.exe
 start.Arguments = args;//args is path to .py file and any cmd line args
 start.UseShellExecute = false;
 start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
 using(Process process = Process.Start(start))
 {
     using(StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
     {
         string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
         Console.Write(result);
     }
 }
}

As an example, cmd would be @C:/Python26/python.exe and args would be C://Python26//test.py 100 if you wanted to execute test.py with cmd line argument 100. Note that the path the .py file does not have the @ symbol.

How do I get the resource id of an image if I know its name?

You can use this function to get a Resource ID:

public static int getResourseId(Context context, String pVariableName, String pResourcename, String pPackageName) throws RuntimeException {
    try {
        return context.getResources().getIdentifier(pVariableName, pResourcename, pPackageName);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Error getting Resource ID.", e)
    } 
}


So if you want to get a Drawable Resource ID, you can call the method like this:

getResourseId(MyActivity.this, "myIcon", "drawable", getPackageName());

(or from a fragment):

getResourseId(getActivity(), "myIcon", "drawable", getActivity().getPackageName());


For a String Resource ID you can call it like this:

getResourseId(getActivity(), "myAppName", "string", getActivity().getPackageName());

etc...


Careful: It throws a RuntimeException if it fails to find the Resource ID. Be sure to recover properly in production.

How to dispatch a Redux action with a timeout?

The appropriate way to do this is using Redux Thunk which is a popular middleware for Redux, as per Redux Thunk documentation:

"Redux Thunk middleware allows you to write action creators that return a function instead of an action. The thunk can be used to delay the dispatch of an action, or to dispatch only if a certain condition is met. The inner function receives the store methods dispatch and getState as parameters".

So basically it returns a function, and you can delay your dispatch or put it in a condition state.

So something like this is going to do the job for you:

import ReduxThunk from 'redux-thunk';

const INCREMENT_COUNTER = 'INCREMENT_COUNTER';

function increment() {
  return {
    type: INCREMENT_COUNTER
  };
}

function incrementAsync() {
  return dispatch => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      // Yay! Can invoke sync or async actions with `dispatch`
      dispatch(increment());
    }, 5000);
  };
}

Foreign key constraint may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths?

There is an article available in which explains how to perform multiple deletion paths using triggers. Maybe this is useful for complex scenarios.

http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2733/solving-the-sql-server-multiple-cascade-path-issue-with-a-trigger/

A cycle was detected in the build path of project xxx - Build Path Problem

This could happen when you have several projects that include each other in JAR form. What I did was remove all libraries and project dependencies on buildpath, for all projects. Then, one at a time, I added the project dependencies on the Project Tab, but only the ones needed. This is because you can add a project which in turn has itself referenced or another project which is referencing some other project with this self-referencing issue.

This resolved my issue.

Presenting modal in iOS 13 fullscreen

This worked for me

let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "storyboardID_cameraview1") as! CameraViewController
  
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
    
self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)`

How can I copy a Python string?

Copying a string can be done two ways either copy the location a = "a" b = a or you can clone which means b wont get affected when a is changed which is done by a = 'a' b = a[:]

Android - Handle "Enter" in an EditText

In your xml, add the imeOptions attribute to the editText

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edittext_additem"
    ...
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"
    />

Then, in your Java code, add the OnEditorActionListener to the same EditText

mAddItemEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
                //do stuff
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

Here is the explanation- The imeOptions=actionDone will assign "actionDone" to the EnterKey. The EnterKey in the keyboard will change from "Enter" to "Done". So when Enter Key is pressed, it will trigger this action and thus you will handle it.

Difference between Amazon EC2 and AWS Elastic Beanstalk

First off, EC2 and Elastic Compute Cloud are the same thing.

Next, AWS encompasses the range of Web Services that includes EC2 and Elastic Beanstalk. It also includes many others such as S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and all the others.

EC2

EC2 is Amazon's service that allows you to create a server (AWS calls these instances) in the AWS cloud. You pay by the hour and only what you use. You can do whatever you want with this instance as well as launch n number of instances.

Elastic Beanstalk

Elastic Beanstalk is one layer of abstraction away from the EC2 layer. Elastic Beanstalk will setup an "environment" for you that can contain a number of EC2 instances, an optional database, as well as a few other AWS components such as a Elastic Load Balancer, Auto-Scaling Group, Security Group. Then Elastic Beanstalk will manage these items for you whenever you want to update your software running in AWS. Elastic Beanstalk doesn't add any cost on top of these resources that it creates for you. If you have 10 hours of EC2 usage, then all you pay is 10 compute hours.

Running Wordpress

For running Wordpress, it is whatever you are most comfortable with. You could run it straight on a single EC2 instance, you could use a solution from the AWS Marketplace, or you could use Elastic Beanstalk.

What to pick?

In the case that you want to reduce system operations and just focus on the website, then Elastic Beanstalk would be the best choice for that. Elastic Beanstalk supports a PHP stack (as well as others). You can keep your site in version control and easily deploy to your environment whenever you make changes. It will also setup an Autoscaling group which can spawn up more EC2 instances if traffic is growing.

Here's the first result off of Google when searching for "elastic beanstalk wordpress": https://www.otreva.com/blog/deploying-wordpress-amazon-web-services-aws-ec2-rds-via-elasticbeanstalk/

Could not instantiate mail function. Why this error occurring

Had same problem. Just did a quick look up apache2 error.log file and it said exactly what was the problem:

> sh: /usr/sbin/sendmail: Permission denied

So, the solution was to give proper permissions for /usr/sbin/sendmail file (it wasn't accessible from php).

Command to do this would be:

> chmod 777 /usr/sbin/sendmail

be sure that it even exists!

Getting rid of all the rounded corners in Twitter Bootstrap

If you want to avoid recompiling the all thing, just add .btn {border-radius: 0;} to your CSS.

What does yield mean in PHP?

This function is using yield:

function a($items) {
    foreach ($items as $item) {
        yield $item + 1;
    }
}

It is almost the same as this one without:

function b($items) {
    $result = [];
    foreach ($items as $item) {
        $result[] = $item + 1;
    }
    return $result;
}

The only one difference is that a() returns a generator and b() just a simple array. You can iterate on both.

Also, the first one does not allocate a full array and is therefore less memory-demanding.

How to check for an active Internet connection on iOS or macOS?

For my iOS Projects, I recommend using

Reachability Class

Declared in Swift. For me, it works simply fine with

Wi-Fi and Cellular data

.

 import SystemConfiguration

 public class Reachability {

 class func isConnectedToNetwork() -> Bool {

    var zeroAddress = sockaddr_in(sin_len: 0, sin_family: 0, sin_port: 0, sin_addr: in_addr(s_addr: 0), sin_zero: (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))
    zeroAddress.sin_len = UInt8(MemoryLayout.size(ofValue: zeroAddress))
    zeroAddress.sin_family = sa_family_t(AF_INET)

    let defaultRouteReachability = withUnsafePointer(to: &zeroAddress) {
        $0.withMemoryRebound(to: sockaddr.self, capacity: 1) {zeroSockAddress in
            SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(nil, zeroSockAddress)
        }
    }

    var flags: SCNetworkReachabilityFlags = SCNetworkReachabilityFlags(rawValue: 0)
    if SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(defaultRouteReachability!, &flags) == false {
        return false
    }

    let isReachable = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsReachable)) != 0
    let needsConnection = (flags.rawValue & UInt32(kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired)) != 0
    let ret = (isReachable && !needsConnection)
    return ret
} }

Use conditional statement,

if Reachability.isConnectedToNetwork(){
          * Enter Your Code Here*
        }
    }
    else{
        print("NO Internet connection")
    }

This class is useful in almost every case your app uses the Internet Connection. Such as if the condition is true, API can be called or task could be performed.

Return value in a Bash function

Although bash has a return statement, the only thing you can specify with it is the function's own exit status (a value between 0 and 255, 0 meaning "success"). So return is not what you want.

You might want to convert your return statement to an echo statement - that way your function output could be captured using $() braces, which seems to be exactly what you want.

Here is an example:

function fun1(){
  echo 34
}

function fun2(){
  local res=$(fun1)
  echo $res
}

Another way to get the return value (if you just want to return an integer 0-255) is $?.

function fun1(){
  return 34
}

function fun2(){
  fun1
  local res=$?
  echo $res
}

Also, note that you can use the return value to use boolean logic like fun1 || fun2 will only run fun2 if fun1 returns a non-0 value. The default return value is the exit value of the last statement executed within the function.

How would I get everything before a : in a string Python

Using index:

>>> string = "Username: How are you today?"
>>> string[:string.index(":")]
'Username'

The index will give you the position of : in string, then you can slice it.

If you want to use regex:

>>> import re
>>> re.match("(.*?):",string).group()
'Username'                       

match matches from the start of the string.

you can also use itertools.takewhile

>>> import itertools
>>> "".join(itertools.takewhile(lambda x: x!=":", string))
'Username'

MySQL - sum column value(s) based on row from the same table

  SUM(IF(p.`PaymentMethod`='Check',Amount,0)) AS Check_,
  SUM(IF(p.`PaymentMethod`='Credit Card',Amount,0)) AS Credit_Card_,
  SUM( CASE PaymentMethod 
      WHEN 'Cash' THEN Amount
      WHEN 'Check' THEN Amount
      WHEN 'Credit Card' THEN Amount
     END) AS Total
FROM
  `payments` AS p 
GROUP BY p.`ProductID`;

How to push a single file in a subdirectory to Github (not master)

When you do a push, git only takes the changes that you have committed.

Remember when you do a git status it shows you the files you changed since the last push?

Once you commit those changes and do a push they are the only files that get pushed so you don't have to worry about thinking that the entire master gets pushed because in reality it does not.

How to push a single file:

git commit yourfile.js
git status
git push origin master

Convert Text to Date?

You can quickly convert a column of text that resembles dates into actual dates with the VBA equivalent of the worksheet's Data ? Text-to-Columns command.

With ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns("A").Cells
    .TextToColumns Destination:=.Cells(1), DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(0, xlYMDFormat)
    .NumberFormat = "yyyy-mm-dd"   'change to any date-based number format you prefer the cells to display
End With

Bulk operations are generally much quicker than looping through cells and the VBA's Range.TextToColumns method is very quick. It also allows you the freedom to set a MDY vs. DMY or YMD conversion mask that plagues many text imports where the date format does not match the system's regional settings. See TextFileColumnDataTypes property for a complete list of the available date formats available.

Caveat: Be careful when importing text that some of the dates have not already been converted. A text-based date with ambiguous month and day integers may already been converted wrongly; e.g. 07/11/2015 may have been interpreted as 07-Nov-2015 or 11-Jul-2015 depending upon system regional settings. In cases like this, abandon the import and bring the text back in with Data ? Get External Data ? From Text and specify the correct date conversion mask in the Text Import wizard. In VBA, use the Workbooks.OpenText method and specify the xlColumnDataType.

How to replace url parameter with javascript/jquery?

A solution without Regex, a little bit easier on the eye, one I was looking for

This supports ports, hash parameters etc.

Uses browsers attribute element as a parser.

function setUrlParameters(url, parameters) {
    var parser = document.createElement('a');
    parser.href = url;

    url = "";

    if (parser.protocol) {
        url += parser.protocol + "//";
    }

    if (parser.host) {
        url += parser.host;
    }

    if (parser.pathname) {
        url += parser.pathname;
    }

    var queryParts = {};

    if (parser.search) {
        var search = parser.search.substring(1);

        var searchParts = search.split("&");
        for (var i = 0; i < searchParts.length; i++) {
            var searchPart = searchParts[i];

            var whitespaceIndex = searchPart.indexOf("=");

            if (whitespaceIndex !== -1) {
                var key = searchPart.substring(0, whitespaceIndex);
                var value = searchPart.substring(whitespaceIndex + 1);

                queryParts[key] = value;
            } else {
                queryParts[searchPart] = false;
            }
        }
    }

    var parameterKeys = Object.keys(parameters);

    for (var i = 0; i < parameterKeys.length; i++) {
        var parameterKey = parameterKeys[i];

        queryParts[parameterKey] = parameters[parameterKey];
    }


    var queryPartKeys = Object.keys(queryParts);

    var query = "";

    for (var i = 0; i < queryPartKeys.length; i++) {
        if (query.length === 0) {
            query += "?";
        }
        if (query.length > 1) {
            query += "&";
        }

        var queryPartKey = queryPartKeys[i];

        query += queryPartKey;

        if (queryParts[queryPartKey]) {
            query += "=";

            query += queryParts[queryPartKey];
        }
    }

    url += query;

    if (parser.hash) {
        url += parser.hash;
    }

    return url;
}

Proper way to set response status and JSON content in a REST API made with nodejs and express

The standard way to get full HttpResponse that includes following properties

  1. body //contains your data
  2. headers
  3. ok
  4. status
  5. statusText
  6. type
  7. url

On backend, do this

router.post('/signup', (req, res, next) => {
    // res object have its own statusMessage property so utilize this
    res.statusText = 'Your have signed-up succesfully'
    return res.status(200).send('You are doing a great job')
})

On Frontend e.g. in Angular, just do:

let url = `http://example.com/signup`
this.http.post(url, { profile: data }, {
    observe: 'response' // remember to add this, you'll get pure HttpResponse
}).subscribe(response => {
    console.log(response)
})

C# Creating an array of arrays

The problem is that you are attempting to define the elements in lists to multiple lists (not multiple ints as is defined). You should be defining lists like this.

int[,] list = new int[4,4] {
 {1,2,3,4},
 {5,6,7,8},
 {1,3,2,1},
 {5,4,3,2}};

You could also do

int[] list1 = new int[4] { 1, 2, 3, 4};
int[] list2 = new int[4] { 5, 6, 7, 8};
int[] list3 = new int[4] { 1, 3, 2, 1 };
int[] list4 = new int[4] { 5, 4, 3, 2 };

int[,] lists = new int[4,4] {
 {list1[0],list1[1],list1[2],list1[3]},
 {list2[0],list2[1],list2[2],list2[3]},
 etc...};

php mail setup in xampp

My favorite smtp server is hMailServer.

It has a nice windows friendly installer and wizard. Hands down the easiest mail server I've ever setup.

It can proxy through your gmail/yahoo/etc account or send email directly.

Once it is installed, email in xampp just works with no config changes.

How to add pandas data to an existing csv file?

You can append to a csv by opening the file in append mode:

with open('my_csv.csv', 'a') as f:
    df.to_csv(f, header=False)

If this was your csv, foo.csv:

,A,B,C
0,1,2,3
1,4,5,6

If you read that and then append, for example, df + 6:

In [1]: df = pd.read_csv('foo.csv', index_col=0)

In [2]: df
Out[2]:
   A  B  C
0  1  2  3
1  4  5  6

In [3]: df + 6
Out[3]:
    A   B   C
0   7   8   9
1  10  11  12

In [4]: with open('foo.csv', 'a') as f:
             (df + 6).to_csv(f, header=False)

foo.csv becomes:

,A,B,C
0,1,2,3
1,4,5,6
0,7,8,9
1,10,11,12

Java 8 lambda get and remove element from list

I'm sure this will be an unpopular answer, but it works...

ProducerDTO[] p = new ProducerDTO[1];
producersProcedureActive
            .stream()
            .filter(producer -> producer.getPod().equals(pod))
            .findFirst()
            .ifPresent(producer -> {producersProcedureActive.remove(producer); p[0] = producer;}

p[0] will either hold the found element or be null.

The "trick" here is circumventing the "effectively final" problem by using an array reference that is effectively final, but setting its first element.

setting JAVA_HOME & CLASSPATH in CentOS 6

Providing javac is set up through /etc/alternatives/javac, you can add to your .bash_profile:

JAVA_HOME=$(l=$(which javac) ; while : ; do nl=$(readlink ${l}) ; [ "$nl" ] || break ; l=$nl ; done ; echo $(cd $(dirname $l)/.. ; pwd) )
export JAVA_HOME

How to add element into ArrayList in HashMap

I know, this is an old question. But just for the sake of completeness, the lambda version.

Map<String, List<Item>> items = new HashMap<>();
items.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new ArrayList<>()).add(item);

How to create an AVD for Android 4.0

I had a similar problem but using IntelliJ IDEA rather than Eclipse. I already had the ARM EABI installed, but I still got the error.

For IntelliJ IDEA, it appears you also have to create an AVB first before running the emulator, so to do this you must just go into Android SDK Manager and create a new AVB. This should solve your problem... Please make sure you have followed the above answer to include the ARM before following these steps.

What is the difference between single and double quotes in SQL?

The difference lies in their usage. The single quotes are mostly used to refer a string in WHERE, HAVING and also in some built-in SQL functions like CONCAT, STRPOS, POSITION etc.

When you want to use an alias that has space in between then you can use double quotes to refer to that alias.

For example

(select account_id,count(*) "count of" from orders group by 1)sub 

Here is a subquery from an orders table having account_id as Foreign key that I am aggregating to know how many orders each account placed. Here I have given one column any random name as "count of" for sake of purpose.

Now let's write an outer query to display the rows where "count of" is greater than 20.

select "count of" from 
(select account_id,count(*) "count of" from orders group by 1)sub where "count of" >20;

You can apply the same case to Common Table expressions also.

How to redirect siteA to siteB with A or CNAME records

It sounds like the web server on hosttwo.com doesn't allow undefined domains to be passed through. You also said you wanted to do a redirect, this isn't actually a method for redirecting. If you bought this domain through GoDaddy you may just want to use their redirection service.

How to make correct date format when writing data to Excel

Try using

DateTime.ToOADate()

And putting that as a double in the cell. There could be issues with Excel on Mac Systems (it uses a different datetime-->double conversion), but it should work well for most cases.

Hope this helps.

MySQL maximum memory usage

mysqld.exe was using 480 mb in RAM. I found that I added this parameter to my.ini

that reduced memory usage from 400,000+ kb down to 105,000kb

What does the error "arguments imply differing number of rows: x, y" mean?

Your data.frame mat is rectangular (n_rows!= n_cols).

Therefore, you cannot make a data.frame out of the column- and rownames, because each column in a data.frame must be the same length.

Maybe this suffices your needs:

require(reshape2)
mat$id <- rownames(mat) 
melt(mat)

How to create a directory and give permission in single command

Don't do: mkdir -m 777 -p a/b/c since that will only set permission 777 on the last directory, c; a and b will be created with the default permission from your umask.

Instead to create any new directories with permission 777, run mkdir -p in a subshell where you override the umask:

(umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwx && mkdir -p a/b/c)

Note that this won't change the permissions if any of a, b and c already exist though.

Set "Homepage" in Asp.Net MVC

Attribute Routing in MVC 5

Before MVC 5 you could map URLs to specific actions and controllers by calling routes.MapRoute(...) in the RouteConfig.cs file. This is where the url for the homepage is stored (Home/Index). However if you modify the default route as shown below,

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

keep in mind that this will affect the URLs of other actions and controllers. For example, if you had a controller class named ExampleController and an action method inside of it called DoSomething, then the expected default url ExampleController/DoSomething will no longer work because the default route was changed.

A workaround for this is to not mess with the default route and create new routes in the RouteConfig.cs file for other actions and controllers like so,

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Example",
    url: "hey/now",
    defaults: new { controller = "Example", action = "DoSomething", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Now the DoSomething action of the ExampleController class will be mapped to the url hey/now. But this can get tedious to do for every time you want to define routes for different actions. So in MVC 5 you can now add attributes to match urls to actions like so,

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // url is now 'index/' instead of 'home/index'
    [Route("index")]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
    // url is now 'create/new' instead of 'home/create'
    [Route("create/new")]
    public ActionResult Create()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Java Inheritance - calling superclass method

You can't call alpha's alphaMethod1() by using beta's object But you have two solutions:

solution 1: call alpha's alphaMethod1() from beta's alphaMethod1()

class Beta extends Alpha
{
  public void alphaMethod1()
  {
    super.alphaMethod1();
  }
}

or from any other method of Beta like:

class Beta extends Alpha
{
  public void foo()
  {
     super.alphaMethod1();
  }
}

class Test extends Beta 
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Beta beta = new Beta();
      beta.foo();
   }
}

solution 2: create alpha's object and call alpha's alphaMethod1()

class Test extends Beta
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Alpha alpha = new Alpha();
      alpha.alphaMethod1();
   }
}

How to get a index value from foreach loop in jstl

Maybe someone else might get same error. Look at this guys!

ArrayList or List declaration in Java

The first declaration has to be an ArrayList, the second can be easily changed to another List type. As such, the second is preferred as it make it clear you don't require a specific implementation. (Sometimes you really do need one implementation, but that is rare)

Simple way to unzip a .zip file using zlib

Minizip does have an example programs to demonstrate its usage - the files are called minizip.c and miniunz.c.

Update: I had a few minutes so I whipped up this quick, bare bones example for you. It's very smelly C, and I wouldn't use it without major improvements. Hopefully it's enough to get you going for now.

// Do not use this code as is! It is educational only, and probably
// riddled with errors and leaks!

Append Char To String in C?

The Original poster didn't mean to write:

  char* str = "blablabla";

but

  char str[128] = "blablabla";

Now, adding a single character would seem more efficient than adding a whole string with strcat. Going the strcat way, you could:

  char tmpstr[2];
  tmpstr[0] = c;
  tmpstr[1] = 0;
  strcat (str, tmpstr);

but you can also easily write your own function (as several have done before me):

  void strcat_c (char *str, char c)
  {
    for (;*str;str++); // note the terminating semicolon here. 
    *str++ = c; 
    *str++ = 0;
  }

How do I print the content of httprequest request?

If you want the content string and this string does not have parameters you can use

    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
        System.out.println(line);
    }

What is the difference between __init__ and __call__?

The first is used to initialise newly created object, and receives arguments used to do that:

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, a, b, c):
        # ...

x = Foo(1, 2, 3) # __init__

The second implements function call operator.

class Foo:
    def __call__(self, a, b, c):
        # ...

x = Foo()
x(1, 2, 3) # __call__

How to execute a file within the python interpreter?

For Python 2:

>>> execfile('filename.py')

For Python 3:

Getting error: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres", when trying to get pgsql working with rails

Many of the other answers pertain to settings in the various config files, and the ones pertaining to the pg_hba.conf do apply and are 100% correct. However, make sure you are modifying the correct config files.

As others have mentioned the config file locations can be overridden with various settings inside the main config file, as well as supplying a path to the main config file on the command line with the -D option.

You can use the following command while in a psql session to show where your config files are being read (assuming you can launch psql). This is just a troubleshooting step that can help some people:

select * from pg_settings where setting~'pgsql';  

You should also make sure that the home directory for your postgres user is where you expect it to be. I say this because it is quite easy to overlook this due to the fact that your prompt will display '~' instead of the actual path of your home directory, making it not so obvious. Many installations default the postgres user home directory to /var/lib/pgsql.

If it is not set to what it is supposed to be, stop the postgresql service and use the following command while logged in as root. Also make sure the postgres user is not logged into another session:

usermod -d /path/pgsql postgres

Finally make sure your PGDATA variable is set correctly by typing echo $PGDATA, which should output something similar to:

/path/pgsql/data

If it is not set, or shows something different from what you expect it to be, examine your startup or RC files such as .profile or .bash.rc - this will vary greatly depending on your OS and your shell. Once you have determined the correct startup script for your machine, you can insert the following:

export PGDATA=/path/pgsql/data

For my system, I placed this in /etc/profile.d/profile.local.sh so it was accessible for all users.

You should now be able to init the database as usual and all your psql path settings should be correct!

Android: How to Programmatically set the size of a Layout

Java

This should work:

// Gets linearlayout
LinearLayout layout = findViewById(R.id.numberPadLayout);
// Gets the layout params that will allow you to resize the layout
LayoutParams params = layout.getLayoutParams();
// Changes the height and width to the specified *pixels*
params.height = 100;
params.width = 100;
layout.setLayoutParams(params);

If you want to convert dip to pixels, use this:

int height = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, <HEIGHT>, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

How do you set up use HttpOnly cookies in PHP

  • For your cookies, see this answer.
  • For PHP's own session cookie (PHPSESSID, by default), see @richie's answer

The setcookie() and setrawcookie() functions, introduced the httponly parameter, back in the dark ages of PHP 5.2.0, making this nice and easy. Simply set the 7th parameter to true, as per the syntax

Function syntax simplified for brevity

setcookie(    $name, $value, $expire, $path, $domain, $secure, $httponly )
setrawcookie( $name, $value, $expire, $path, $domain, $secure, $httponly )

In PHP < 8, specify NULL for parameters you wish to remain as default.

In PHP >= 8 you can benefit from using named parameters. See this question about named params.

setcookie( $name, $value, httponly:true )

It is also possible using the older, lower-level header() function:

header( "Set-Cookie: name=value; httpOnly" );

You may also want to consider if you should be setting the secure parameter.

Selenium Error - The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver timed out after 60 seconds

I had the same exception when trying to run a headless ChromeDriver with a scheduled task on a windows server (unattended). What solved it for me is to run the task as the user "Administrators" (notice the S at the end). What I also did (I don't know if its relevant) is selected the "Any Connection" from the task "Conditions" tab.

How can I make a list of installed packages in a certain virtualenv?

why don't you try pip list

Remember I'm using pip version 19.1 on python version 3.7.3

How to remove outliers from a dataset

Nobody has posted the simplest answer:

x[!x %in% boxplot.stats(x)$out]

Also see this: http://www.r-statistics.com/2011/01/how-to-label-all-the-outliers-in-a-boxplot/

Composer could not find a composer.json

You could try updating the composer:

sudo composer self-update

If that doest works remove composer files & then use: SSH into terminal & type :

$ cd ~
$ sudo curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer

If you face an error that says: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'proc_open(): fork failed - Cannot allocate memory' in phar

/bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024
/sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
/sbin/swapon /var/swap.1

To install package use:

composer global require "package-name"

Nodejs cannot find installed module on Windows

if you are using windows , it takes some steps , 1) create a file called package.json

 {
  "name": "hello"
, "version": "0.0.1"
, "dependencies": {
    "express": "*"
  }
}

where hello is the name of the package and * means the latest version of your dependency

2) code to you project directory and run the following command

npm install

It installs the dependencies

Ruby Hash to array of values

hash.collect { |k, v| v }
#returns [["a", "b", "c"], ["b", "c"]] 

Enumerable#collect takes a block, and returns an array of the results of running the block once on every element of the enumerable. So this code just ignores the keys and returns an array of all the values.

The Enumerable module is pretty awesome. Knowing it well can save you lots of time and lots of code.

How to merge lists into a list of tuples?

In python 3.0 zip returns a zip object. You can get a list out of it by calling list(zip(a, b)).

How to remove files and directories quickly via terminal (bash shell)

So I was looking all over for a way to remove all files in a directory except for some directories, and files, I wanted to keep around. After much searching I devised a way to do it using find.

find -E . -regex './(dir1|dir2|dir3)' -and -type d -prune -o -print -exec rm -rf {} \;

Essentially it uses regex to select the directories to exclude from the results then removes the remaining files. Just wanted to put it out here in case someone else needed it.

How to check if a div is visible state or not?

if (!$('#singlechatpanel-1').css('display') == 'none') {
   alert('visible');
}else{
   alert('hidden');
}

How can I change the Y-axis figures into percentages in a barplot?

Use:

+ scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent)

Or, to specify formatting parameters for the percent:

+ scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent_format(accuracy = 1))

(the command labels = percent is obsolete since version 2.2.1 of ggplot2)

Call JavaScript function on DropDownList SelectedIndexChanged Event:

Or you can do it like as well:

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl" runat="server"  AutoPostBack="true" onchange="javascript:CalcTotalAmt();" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddl_SelectedIndexChanged"></asp:DropDownList>

How can I change the default Mysql connection timeout when connecting through python?

I know this is an old question but just for the record this can also be done by passing appropriate connection options as arguments to the _mysql.connect call. For example,

con = _mysql.connect(host='localhost', user='dell-pc', passwd='', db='test',
          connect_timeout=1000)

Notice the use of keyword parameters (host, passwd, etc.). They improve the readability of your code.

For detail about different arguments that you can pass to _mysql.connect, see MySQLdb API documentation

Center align with table-cell

This would be easier to do with flexbox. Using flexbox will let you not to specify the height of your content and can adjust automatically on the height it contains.

DEMO

here's the gist of the demo

.container{

  display: flex;
  height: 100%;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;

}

html

<div class="container">
  <div class='content'> //you can size this anyway you want
    put anything you want here,
  </div>
</div>

CSS Styling for a Button: Using <input type="button> instead of <button>

Float:left... Although I presume you want the input to be styled not the div?

.button input{
    color:#08233e;float:left;
    font:2.4em Futura, ‘Century Gothic’, AppleGothic, sans-serif;
    font-size:70%;
    padding:14px;
    background:url(overlay.png) repeat-x center #ffcc00;
    background-color:rgba(255,204,0,1);
    border:1px solid #ffcc00;
    -moz-border-radius:10px;
    -webkit-border-radius:10px;
    border-radius:10px;
    border-bottom:1px solid #9f9f9f;
    -moz-box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
    -webkit-box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
    box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
    cursor:pointer;
}
.button input:hover{
    background-color:rgba(255,204,0,0.8);
}

DIV height set as percentage of screen?

This is the solution ,

Add the html also to 100%

html,body {

   height: 100%;
   width: 100%;

}

Test if executable exists in Python?

You can try the external lib called "sh" (http://amoffat.github.io/sh/).

import sh
print sh.which('ls')  # prints '/bin/ls' depending on your setup
print sh.which('xxx') # prints None

How to convert HTML to PDF using iText

You can do it with the HTMLWorker class (deprecated) like this:

import com.itextpdf.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker;
//...
try {
    String k = "<html><body> This is my Project </body></html>";
    OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("C:\\Test.pdf"));
    Document document = new Document();
    PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
    document.open();
    HTMLWorker htmlWorker = new HTMLWorker(document);
    htmlWorker.parse(new StringReader(k));
    document.close();
    file.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

or using the XMLWorker, (download from this jar) using this code:

import com.itextpdf.tool.xml.XMLWorkerHelper;
//...
try {
    String k = "<html><body> This is my Project </body></html>";
    OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("C:\\Test.pdf"));
    Document document = new Document();
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
    document.open();
    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(k.getBytes());
    XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, is);
    document.close();
    file.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

T-SQL XOR Operator

Using boolean algebra, it is easy to show that:

A xor B = (not A and B) or (A and not B)


A B | f = notA and B | g = A and notB | f or g | A xor B    
----+----------------+----------------+--------+--------    
0 0 | 0              | 0              | 0      | 0    
0 1 | 1              | 0              | 1      | 1    
1 0 | 0              | 1              | 1      | 1    
1 1 | 0              | 0              | 0      | 0

Print execution time of a shell command

If I'm starting a long-running process like a copy or hash and I want to know later how long it took, I just do this:

$ date; sha1sum reallybigfile.txt; date

Which will result in the following output:

Tue Jun  2 21:16:03 PDT 2015
5089a8e475cc41b2672982f690e5221469390bc0  reallybigfile.txt

Granted, as implemented here it isn't very precise and doesn't calculate the elapsed time. But it's dirt simple and sometimes all you need.

An exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in myproject.DLL but was not handled in user code

It means somewhere in your chain of calls, you tried to access a Property or call a method on an object that was null.

Given your statement:

img1.ImageUrl = ConfigurationManager
                    .AppSettings
                    .Get("Url")
                    .Replace("###", randomString) 
                + Server.UrlEncode(
                      ((System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Form)Page
                      .FindControl("mobileForm"))
                      .Title);

I'm guessing either the call to AppSettings.Get("Url") is returning null because the value isn't found or the call to Page.FindControl("mobileForm") is returning null because the control isn't found.

You could easily break this out into multiple statements to solve the problem:

var configUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("Url");
var mobileFormControl = Page.FindControl("mobileForm")
                            as System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Form;

if(configUrl != null && mobileFormControl != null)
{
    img1.ImageUrl = configUrl.Replace("###", randomString) + mobileControl.Title;
}

Remove CSS class from element with JavaScript (no jQuery)

var element = document.getElementById('example_id');
var remove_class = 'example_class';

element.className = element.className.replace(' ' + remove_class, '').replace(remove_class, '');

"configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed": How do I know why this happened?

If you want to check syntax error for any nginx files, you can use the -c option.

[root@server ~]# sudo nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/my-server.conf
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/my-server.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/my-server.conf test is successful

What is a mixin, and why are they useful?

OP mentioned that he/she never heard of mixin in C++, perhaps that is because they are called Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP) in C++. Also, @Ciro Santilli mentioned that mixin is implemented via abstract base class in C++. While abstract base class can be used to implement mixin, it is an overkill as the functionality of virtual function at run-time can be achieved using template at compile time without the overhead of virtual table lookup at run-time.

The CRTP pattern is described in detail here

I have converted the python example in @Ciro Santilli's answer into C++ using template class below:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <assert.h>

    template <class T>
    class ComparableMixin {
    public:
        bool operator !=(ComparableMixin &other) {
            return ~(*static_cast<T*>(this) == static_cast<T&>(other));
        }
        bool operator <(ComparableMixin &other) {
            return ((*(this) != other) && (*static_cast<T*>(this) <= static_cast<T&>(other)));
        }
        bool operator >(ComparableMixin &other) {
            return ~(*static_cast<T*>(this) <= static_cast<T&>(other));
        }
        bool operator >=(ComparableMixin &other) {
            return ((*static_cast<T*>(this) == static_cast<T&>(other)) || (*(this) > other));
        }
        protected:
            ComparableMixin() {}
    };

    class Integer: public ComparableMixin<Integer> {
    public:
     Integer(int i) {
         this->i = i;
     }
     int i;
     bool operator <=(Integer &other) {
         return (this->i <= other.i);
     }
     bool operator ==(Integer &other) {
         return (this->i == other.i);
     }
    };

int main() {

    Integer i(0) ;
    Integer j(1) ;
    //ComparableMixin<Integer> c; // this will cause compilation error because constructor is protected.
    assert (i < j );
    assert (i != j);
    assert (j >  i);
    assert (j >= i);

    return 0;
}

EDIT: Added protected constructor in ComparableMixin so that it can only be inherited and not instantiated. Updated the example to show how protected constructor will cause compilation error when an object of ComparableMixin is created.

Use dynamic variable names in JavaScript

If you don't want to use a global object like window or global (node), you can try something like this:

var obj = {};
obj['whatever'] = 'There\'s no need to store even more stuff in a global object.';

console.log(obj['whatever']);

how to add a day to a date using jquery datepicker

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes)

I had this problem. I searched the internet, took all advices, changes configurations, but the problem is still there. Finally with the help of the server administrator, he found that the problem lies in MySQL database column definition. one of the columns in the a table was assigned to 'Longtext' which leads to allocate 4,294,967,295 bites of memory. It seems working OK if you don't use MySqli prepare statement, but once you use prepare statement, it tries to allocate that amount of memory. I changed the column type to Mediumtext which needs 16,777,215 bites of memory space. The problem is gone. Hope this help.

How to fix Cannot find module 'typescript' in Angular 4?

add scroll bar to table body

These solutions often have issues with the header columns aligning with the body columns, and may not work properly when resizing. I know you didn't want to use an additional library, but if you happen to be using jQuery, this one is really small. It supports fixed header, footer, column spanning (colspan), horizontal scrolling, resizing, and an optional number of rows to display before scrolling starts.

jQuery.scrollTableBody (GitHub)

As long as you have a table with proper <thead>, <tbody>, and (optional) <tfoot>, all you need to do is this:

$('table').scrollTableBody();

Python equivalent of a given wget command

Here's the code adopted from the torchvision library:

import urllib

def download_url(url, root, filename=None):
    """Download a file from a url and place it in root.
    Args:
        url (str): URL to download file from
        root (str): Directory to place downloaded file in
        filename (str, optional): Name to save the file under. If None, use the basename of the URL
    """

    root = os.path.expanduser(root)
    if not filename:
        filename = os.path.basename(url)
    fpath = os.path.join(root, filename)

    os.makedirs(root, exist_ok=True)

    try:
        print('Downloading ' + url + ' to ' + fpath)
        urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, fpath)
    except (urllib.error.URLError, IOError) as e:
        if url[:5] == 'https':
            url = url.replace('https:', 'http:')
            print('Failed download. Trying https -> http instead.'
                    ' Downloading ' + url + ' to ' + fpath)
            urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, fpath)

If you are ok to take dependency on torchvision library then you also also simply do:

from torchvision.datasets.utils import download_url
download_url('http://something.com/file.zip', '~/my_folder`)

When is the init() function run?

https://golang.org/ref/mem#tmp_4

Program initialization runs in a single goroutine, but that goroutine may create other goroutines, which run concurrently.

If a package p imports package q, the completion of q's init functions happens before the start of any of p's.

The start of the function main.main happens after all init functions have finished.

Is it bad practice to use break to exit a loop in Java?

In my opinion a For loop should be used when a fixed amount of iterations will be done and they won't be stopped before every iteration has been completed. In the other case where you want to quit earlier I prefer to use a While loop. Even if you read those two little words it seems more logical. Some examples:

for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
    System.out.println(i);
}

When I read this code quickly I will know for sure it will print out 10 lines and then go on.

for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
    if (someCondition) break;
    System.out.println(i);
}

This one is already less clear to me. Why would you first state you will take 10 iterations, but then inside the loop add some extra conditions to stop sooner?

I prefer the previous example written in this way (even when it's a little more verbose, but that's only with 1 line more):

int i=0;
while (i<10 && !someCondition) {
    System.out.println(i);
    i++;
}

Everyone who will read this code will see immediatly that there is an extra condition that might terminate the loop earlier.

Ofcourse in very small loops you can always discuss that every programmer will notice the break statement. But I can tell from my own experience that in larger loops those breaks can be overseen. (And that brings us to another topic to start splitting up code in smaller chunks)

Python "string_escape" vs "unicode_escape"

According to my interpretation of the implementation of unicode-escape and the unicode repr in the CPython 2.6.5 source, yes; the only difference between repr(unicode_string) and unicode_string.encode('unicode-escape') is the inclusion of wrapping quotes and escaping whichever quote was used.

They are both driven by the same function, unicodeescape_string. This function takes a parameter whose sole function is to toggle the addition of the wrapping quotes and escaping of that quote.

Bootstrap 4 - Glyphicons migration?

The glyphicons.less file from Bootstrap 3 is available on GitHub. https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/less/glyphicons.less

It needs these variables:

@icon-font-path:          "../fonts/";
@icon-font-name:          "glyphicons-halflings-regular";
@icon-font-svg-id:        "glyphicons_halflingsregular";

Then you can convert the .less file to a .css file which you can use directly. You can do this online on lesscss.org/less-preview/. Here I've done it for you, save it as glyphicons.css and include it in your HTML files.

<link href="/Content/glyphicons.css" rel="stylesheet" />

You also need the Glyphicon fonts which is in the Bootstrap 3 package, place them in a /fonts/ directory.

Now you can just keep on using Glyphicons with Bootstrap 4 as usual.

How to pass an array to a function in VBA?

This seems unnecessary, but VBA is a strange place. If you declare an array variable, then set it using Array() then pass the variable into your function, VBA will be happy.

Sub test()
    Dim fString As String
    Dim arr() As Variant
    arr = Array("foo", "bar")
    fString = processArr(arr)
End Sub

Also your function processArr() could be written as:

Function processArr(arr() As Variant) As String
    processArr = Replace(Join(arr()), " ", "")
End Function

If you are into the whole brevity thing.

Floating point exception

It's caused by n % x, when x is 0. You should have x start at 2 instead. You should not use floating point here at all, since you only need integer operations.

General notes:

  1. Try to format your code better. Focus on using a consistent style. E.g. you have one else that starts immediately after a if brace (not even a space), and another with a newline in between.
  2. Don't use globals unless necessary. There is no reason for q to be global.
  3. Don't return without a value in a non-void (int) function.
