I often see functions where other functions are called multiple times instead of storing the result of the function once. i.e (1) : void ExampleFunction() { if (TestFunction() > x || TestFunction() < y || TestFunction() == z) { a = TestFunction(); return; } b = TestFunction(); } Instead I would write it that way, (2) : void ExampleFunction() { int test = TestFunction(); if (test > x || test < y || test == z) { a = test; return; } b = test; } I think version 2 is much better to read and better to debug. But I'm wondering why people do it like in number 1? Is there anything I don't see?

For some reason some devices fail to convert a string to a date. This is my date converting code: func dateFromString(string: String) -> Date? { let f = DateFormatter.init() f.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" return f.date(from: string) } Now, through my analytics platform I capture when this return nil. I have no clue why so. I assume it has something to do with local and maybe timezone or 12/24h settings but I can't figure out what is the problem. More Details... I have tracked the following settings that causes a nil return: timezone - Asia/Muscat local - en_GB string - "2016-12-18 08:31

My client wants a website that includes importing CSV data WITHOUT it being hosted on a server. The idea is so that their sales people can demonstrate their products without having web access or hosting set up on their PCs. They will also be able to update the data by exporting a new CSV file from the original Excel document, without any knowledge of HTML or Javascript. I've found quite a few solutions online - like Papa Parse ( http://papaparse.com/ ) but all of them require the user to select a file using <input type="file" /> . As an example, the following script, using Papa Parse, works

I am a Stata user trying to learn R. I have a couple of lengthy folder paths which, in my Stata code, I stored as local macros. I have multiple files in both those folders to use in my analysis. I know, in R, I can change the working directory each time I want to refer to a file in one of the folders but it is definitely not a good way to do it. Even if I store the folder paths as strings in R, I can't figure out how to refer to those. For example, in Stata I would use `folder1'. I am wondering if trying to re-write Stata code line by line in R is not the best way to learn R. Can someone

The FoneHome iPhone app has a feature where you can play a sound as part of a local notification. That sound is loud regardless of what the iPhone's volume level is set at. How is it possible to get a local notification (or push) to play an audio alert that is loud independent of what the current iPhone volume level is? I tried just setting the soundName to a WAV file but it plays at whatever the current volume is, and I see no options to set it otherwise. Try using the following code NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/audiofile.mp3", [[NSBundle mainBundle]
