PHP has a built-in array() data type which can be easily treated as though it were a list or a queue data type. The way to do this is through the use of the array_shift() function which takes the element at the beginning of the array and returns it, and in the process, shortens the… Thirsting to get the remainder of “PHP array_shift() Function Definition?” Use this link!

I check my website logs frequently, I also have a script that shows me all of the search terms people use to find my website, and a list of reverse DNS lookup for each of the queries so I can see which companies are making use of my resources. Very useful data mining which can… Craving to read the rest of “Two Things That Irk Me!?” Click this!

Even though PHP has an intrinsic array data type you as the programmer have the ability to manipulate arrays in several different ways. PHP can manipulate the array() data type as though it were a stack data structure through two simple functions, array_push() and array_pop() which just reinforces how versatile PHP can be.

This short article covers Objective-C 2.0 property accessors that do not have an associated instance variable. Objective-C 2.0 offers the ability to automatically declare and implement class properties via the @property and @synthesize compiler directives. For the most part, these two compiler directives, part of the Declared Properties feature, go hand in hand with each… Looking to get the rest of “Objective-C Property Accessors?” Click here!

Objective-C 2.0 offers some neat new features that make life easier for programmers. If you’re familiar with Java programming you are used to declaring getter and setter functions to access the instance variables of a class, and similarly in C#, you have the ability to declare property functions, get and set, which do the same… Click to continue reading the rest of this article

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 read the rest of “Objective-C Categories?” Use this link!

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,… Thirsting to get the rest of “PHP array_pop() Function?” Click the link!

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… Continue reading the rest of the post

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… Continue reading the remainder of “PHP shuffle() Function.”

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.
