Since Scala 2.7.2 there is something called Manifest which is a workaround for Java's type erasure. But how does Manifest work exactly and why / when do you need to use it? ...

...ring. When there is more than one component to the argument then they must all be strings so that string concatenation can be applied. The preprocessor can never assume that an unquoted string should be treated as if it were quoted. If it did then: #define ABC 123 int n = ABC; would not compile. ...

...esture is continuous. It begins (began) when the minimum number of fingers allowed (minimumNumberOfTouches) has moved enough to be considered a pan. It changes (changed) when a finger moves while at least the minimum number of fingers are pressed down. It ends (ended) when all fingers are lifted. C...

... have the same results. Pre-increment is a little bit faster because it really increments the variable and after that 'returns' the result. Post-increment creates a special variable, copies there the value of the first variable and only after the first variable is used, replaces its value with seco...

...sizeof(struct { int: -!!(e); })) (e): Compute expression e. !!(e): Logically negate twice: 0 if e == 0; otherwise 1. -!!(e): Numerically negate the expression from step 2: 0 if it was 0; otherwise -1. struct{int: -!!(0);} --> struct{int: 0;}: If it was zero, then we declare a struct with an an...

I tend to declare as static all the methods in a class when that class doesn't require to keep track of internal states. For example, if I need to transform A into B and don't rely on some internal state C that may vary, I create a static transform. If there is an internal state C that I want to be ...
