Objective-C supports inheritance (but not multiple inheritance) like any good object oriented language. However, like many newer OOP languages, such as C# and Ruby, Objective-C 2.0 also supports extension methods, which in Objective-C parlance are called Categories. If you are at all familiar with C# (3.0 and on) you might have created extension methods, extending… Needing to get the rest of “Objective-C Categories?” Click here!

PHP provides incredibly rich and diverse functionality for manipulating arrays. The word “array” and the data type array() in PHP is a bit of a misnomer because the built-in functionality of PHP  is quite capable of treating arrays as though they were many other data structures from simple arrays such as regular single-dimension arrays, regular,… Click this link to continue reading the remainder of “PHP array_pop() Function.”

Just a quick update concerning my SenseCam project. I have finally gotten around to porting my SenseCam software from the old J2ME version on my k850i to an Objective-C version for the iPhone 4. I effectively had to do a complete rewrite from the ground up, but the development work only took about two weeks… Yearning to get the remainder of “SenseCam On The iPhone?” Use this link!

PHP provides the built-in ability to randomly sort, i.e. shuffle, an array of values in place. The PHP shuffle() function takes a standard array of values and swaps each element randomly with another element in the array. The shuffle terminology comes from what you would do if you needed to shuffle a deck of playing… Hankering to read the remainder of “PHP shuffle() Function?” Use this link!

Performing a simple sort of text strings that are all the same case, e.g. upper-case, is no more difficult in .NET than it is for sorting integers. The .NET method Array.Sort comes to our rescue by being able to sort objects that are derived from the base System.Array type. Sorting Strings Alphabetically This program sorts… Need to read the remainder of “C# Array.Sort Sorting Strings?” Click this!

The .NET framework provides a built-in method for sorting a portion of an array on the few occasions when you need it. Again, it is trivially easy to use, simply specifying the array to sort, the index of the element of where to start sorting from, and the number of elements to sort. Bear in… Looking to get the rest of “C# Array.Sort Range Of Elements Example?” Click on this link!

All arrays in .NET are derived from the Array base type, making an array a system object. The System.Array type is an abstract base type so cannot itself be instantiated. But the System.Array base type can be used to obtain a reference to a previously declared array. Obtaining a reference to an array is trivial… Hankering to get the remainder of “C# Array.Sort Array Reference Example?” Use this link!

Sorting arrays in .NET is trivially easy. The Array.Sort method is very simple to use and one of the fastest implementations for doing a straight forward sort that you can make use of. For most of your array sorting requirements, this is the function you should be using. Sorting Of An Array This program sorts… Click here to continue reading the rest of the article

Unlike most languages, when you need to extract a few random elements from an array, PHP provides built-in functionality. The PHP array_rand() function will return either a random index or key, or an array of random indices or keys, given an input of an array and the number of indices or keys to return. PHP… Looking to get the rest of “PHP array_rand() Function?” Click this!

PHP is a great little language with a lot of neat functions to help you manipulate arrays and strings. It’s obvious why it is one of the more popular languages for developing on the backend of web sites. Often I find myself needing to wrap an array of strings in a list of HTML or… Yearning to read the remainder of “PHP Imploded Wrap?” Click the link!
