I need to change the output of a method a bit: Execute the function, and if it's a empty string, then convert it to a "1". How can i write this short on just one line?
var = some_really_long_method(foo)
var = "1" if var == ""
I tried below, but that does call the method twice, right?
var = some_really_long_method(foo) == "" ? "1" : some_really_long_method(foo)
You could use Object#then:
def some_really_long_method
p 'called'
p res = ["", "10"].sample
res
end
var = some_really_long_method.then { |m| m == "" ? '1' : m }
You can check for yourself that the method is called once.
Newlines are optional in Ruby, they can always be replaced with either an expression separator (;), a keyword (e.g. then, do), or sometimes just whitespace.
Therefore, every program, no matter how complex, can always be written in one line, just by removing the linebreaks:
var = some_really_long_method(foo); var = "1" if var == ""
var = "1" if (var = some_really_long_method(foo)) == ""

this is my line of code.
budgetLabel.text = String((budgetLabel.text)!.toInt()! - (budgetItemTextBox.text)!.toInt()!)
the code works, but when I try to input a floating value into the textbox the program crashes. I am assuming the strings need to be converted to a float/double data type. I keep getting errors when i try to do that.
In Swift 2 there are new failable initializers that allow you to do this in more safe way, the Double("") returns an optional in cases like passing in "abc" string the failable initializer will return nil, so then you can use optional-binding to handle it like in the following way:
let s1 = "4.55"
let s2 = "3.15"
if let n1 = Double(s1), let n2 = Double(s2) {
let newString = String( n1 - n2)
print(newString)
}
else {
print("Some string is not a double value")
}
If you're using a version of Swift < 2, then old way was:
var n1 = ("9.99" as NSString).doubleValue // invalid returns 0, not an optional. (not recommended)
// invalid returns an optional value (recommended)
var pi = NSNumberFormatter().numberFromString("3.14")?.doubleValue
Fixed: Added Proper Handling for Optionals
let budgetLabel:UILabel = UILabel()
let budgetItemTextBox:UITextField = UITextField()
budgetLabel.text = ({
var value = ""
if let budgetString = budgetLabel.text, let budgetItemString = budgetItemTextBox.text
{
if let budgetValue = Float(budgetString), let budgetItemValue = Float(budgetItemString)
{
value = String(budgetValue - budgetItemValue)
}
}
return value
})()
You need to be using if let. In swift 2.0 it would look something like this:
if let
budgetString:String = budgetLabel.text,
budgetItemString:String = budgetItemTextBox.text,
budget:Double = Double(budgetString),
budgetItem:Double = Double(budgetItemString) {
budgetLabel.text = String(budget - budgetItem)
} else {
// If a number was not found, what should it do here?
}
I'm writing a for loop for a project that prompts the user to input a number and keeps prompting, continually adding the numbers up. When a string is introduced, the loop should stop. I've done it with a while loop, but the project states that we must do it with a for loop also. The problem is that the prompt keeps running even when 'a = false'. Could someone explain javascript's thinking process? I want to understand why it keeps running back through the loop even though the condition isn't met. Thank you
var addSequence2 = function() {
var total = 0;
var a;
for (; a = true; ) {
var input = prompt("Your current score is " +total+ "\n" + "Next number...");
if (!isNaN(input)) {
a = true;
total = +total + +input;
}
else if (isNaN(input)) {
a = false;
document.write("Your total is " + total);
}
}
};
There is a difference between a = true and a == true.
Your for-loop is basically asking "can I set 'a' to true?", to which the answer is yes, and the loop continues.
Change the condition to a == true (thus asking "Is the value of 'a' true?")
To elaborate, in most programming languages, we distinguish between assignment ("Make 'x' be 4") and testing for equality ("Is 'x' 4?"). By convention (at least in languages that derive their syntax from C), we use '=' to assign/set a value, and '==' to test.
If I'm understanding the specification correctly (no guarantee), what happens here is that the condition condenses as follows:
Is (a = true) true?
Complete the bracket: set a to true
Is (a) true? (we just set it to true, so it must be!)
Try using the equal to operator, i.e. change
for (; a = true; ) {
to
for (; a == true; ) {
You should use a == true instead of a = true......= is an assignment operator
for (; a = true; ), you are assigning the value to the variable "a" and it will always remain true and will end up in infinite loop. In JavaScript it should a===true.
I suspect you want your for to look like this :
for(;a==true;)
as a=true is an assignment, not a comparison.
a == true. The double equal sign compares the two. Single equal assigns the value true to a so this always returns true.
for (; a = true; ) <-- this is an assignation
for (; a == true; ) <-- this should be better
Here's your fixed code :
var addSequence2 = function() {
var total = 0;
var a = true;
for(;Boolean(a);) {
var input = prompt("Your current score is " +total+ "\n" + "Next number...");
if (!isNaN(input)) {
total = total + input;
}
else{
a = false;
document.write("Your total is " + total);
}
}
};
My challenge is twofold:
To pick individual strings from an array of similar strings, but only if a boolean test has been passed first.
"Finally" I need to concatenate any/all of the strings generated into one complete text and the entire code must be in Swift.
Illustration: A back of the envelope code for illustration of logic:
generatedText.text =
case Int1 <= 50 && Int2 == 50
return generatedParagraph1 = pick one string at RANDOM from a an array1 of strings
case Int3 =< 100
return generatedParagraph2 = pick one string at RANDOM from a an array2 of strings
case Int4 == 100
return generatedParagraph3 = pick one string at RANDOM from a an array3 of strings
...etc
default
return "Nothing to report"
and concatenate the individual generatedParagraphs
Attempt: Code picks a random element within stringArray1, 2 and 3.
Example of what the code returns:
---> "Sentence1_c.Sentence2_a.Sentence3_b."
PROBLEM: I need the code to ONLY pick an element if it has first passed a boolean. It means that the final concatenated string (concastString) could be empty, just contain one element, or several depending on how many of the bools were True. Does anyone know how to do this?
import Foundation
var stringArray1 = ["","Sentence1_a.", "Sentence1_b.", "Sentence1_c."]
var stringArray2 = ["","Sentence2_a.", "Sentence2_b.", "Sentence2_c."]
var stringArray3 = ["","Sentence3_a.", "Sentence3_b.", "Sentence3_c."]
let count1 = UInt32(stringArray1.count)-1
let count2 = UInt32(stringArray2.count)-1
let count3 = UInt32(stringArray3.count)-1
var randomNumberOne = Int(arc4random_uniform(count1))+1
var randomNumberTwo = Int(arc4random_uniform(count2))+1
var randomNumberThree = Int(arc4random_uniform(count3))+1
let concatString = stringArray1[randomNumberOne] + stringArray2[randomNumberTwo] + stringArray3[randomNumberThree]
Okay, I didn't pass a Bool, but I show concatenating three random strings from a [String]. I ran this in a playground.
import Foundation
var stringArray = [String]()
for var i = 0; i < 100; i++ {
stringArray.append("text" + "\(i)")
}
func concat (array: [String]) -> String {
let count = UInt32(stringArray.count)
let randomNumberOne = Int(arc4random_uniform(count))
let randomNumberTwo = Int(arc4random_uniform(count))
let randomNumberThree = Int(arc4random_uniform(count))
let concatString = array[randomNumberOne] + array[randomNumberTwo] + array[randomNumberThree]
return concatString
}
let finalString = concat(stringArray)
I would like to replace every blank spaces in a string by a fixnum (which is the number of blank spaces).
Let me give an example:
s = "hello, how are you ?"
omg(s) # => "hello,3how10are2you1?"
Do you see a way (sexy if possible) to update a string like this?
Thank you Rubists :)
gsub can be fed a block for the "replace with" param, the result of the block is inserted into place where the match was found. The argument to the block is the matched string. So to implement this we capture as much whitespace as we can ( /\s+/ ) and feed that into the block each time a section is found, returning that string's length, which gets put back where the whitespace was originally found.
Code:
s = "hello, how are you ?"
res = s.gsub(/\s+/) { |m| m.length }
puts res
# => hello,3how10are2you1?
it is possible to do this via an array split : Javascript example
var s = "hello, how are you ?";
function omg( str ) {
var strArr = str.split('');
var count = 0;
var finalStr = '';
for( var i = 0; i < strArr.length; i++ ) {
if( strArr[i] == ' ' ) {
count++;
}
else
{
if( count > 0 ) {
finalStr += '' + count;
count = 0;
}
finalStr += strArr[i];
}
}
return finalStr
}
alert( omg( s ) ); //"hello,3how10are2you1?"
Lol, this seems the best it can be for javascript
I want to generate dynamic query to check manage the where clause with number of parameters available...if some parameter is null i don't want to include it in the where clause
var test = from p in _db.test
where if(str1 != null){p.test == str} else i dnt wanna check p.test
I have around 14 parameters for the where clause
need help,
thanks
You can do it in steps:
// set up the "main query"
var test = from p in _db.test select _db.test;
// if str1 is not null, add a where-condition
if(str1 != null)
{
test = test.Where(p => p.test == str);
}
In addition to #Fredrik's answer, you can also use the short-circuit rules when evaluating boolean expressions like so:
var test = from p in _db.test
where str1 == null || p.test == str1;
Edit If you have lots of strings to test, (str1, str2, etc...) then you can use the following, which will be translated to an SQL IN clause:
var strings = new List<string>();
if (str1 != null) strings.Add(str1);
if (str2 != null) strings.Add(str2);
if (str3 != null) strings.Add(str3);
...
var test = from p in _db.test
where strings.Contains(p.test);
It's even easier if your strings are already in a collection (which, if you've got 14 of them, I assume they would be...)
Consider param1 and param2 are the parameters. Your query should be as under:
string param1 = "Value1";
string param2 = "Value2";
var q = from bal in context.FxBalanceDetails
where (string.IsNullOrEmpty(param1) || bal.Column1 == param1)
&& (string.IsNullOrEmpty(param2) || bal.Column2 == param2)
select bal;
This will ensure that the where clause gets applied for the particular parameter only when it is not null.
var test =
from p in _db.test
where p.str1 != null ? p.str1 : ""
select p;
Do you check the strings against the same Field of the entity?
If so you can write something like:
var strings = new[] { "foo", "bar", "ok", "", null };
var query = dataContext.YourTable.AsQueryable();
query = strings.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s))
.ToList()
.Aggregate(query, (q, s) => q.Where(e => e.YourField == s));
EDIT:
The previous solution is overcomplicated:
var strings = new[] { "foo", "bar", "ok", "", null }.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s))
.ToList();
var query = dataContext.YourTable.Where(e => strings.Contains(e.YourField));
