The best source is the C# specification, specifically section Literals. The relevant bits: The type of an integer literal is determined as follows: If the literal has no suffix, it has the first of these types in which its value can be represented: int, uint, long, ulong. If the literal is suffixed by U or … Read more
You can replace the whole lot with: for day in 0{1..9} {10..31} ; do mkdir ${path}/02.${day}.2011 done while still not having to start up any external processes (other than what may be in the loop body). That’s probably not that important here since mkdir is not one of those things you tend to do a … Read more
Another option is to use ExpandString() e.g.: $expanded = $ExecutionContext.InvokeCommand.ExpandString($template) Invoke-Expression will also work. However be careful. Both of these options are capable of executing arbitrary code e.g.: # Contents of file template.txt “EvilString”;$(remove-item -whatif c:\ -r -force -confirm:$false -ea 0) $template = gc template.txt iex $template # could result in a bad day If … Read more
I believe the confusion is because you’re conflating names with storage. fn main() { let x = 5; // x_0 println!(“The value of x is {}”, x); let x = 6; // x_1 println!(“The value of x is {}”, x); } In this example, there is one name (x), and two storage locations (x_0 and … Read more
To complement Keith Hill’s helpful answer with a PSv3+ alternative: The $using: scope modifier can be used to reference the values of variables in the caller’s scope inside the script block passed to Start-Job, as an alternative to passing arguments (by default, a script block executed as a background job does not see any of … Read more
One approach would be to make oneFunction return the word so that you can use oneFunction instead of word in anotherFunction : def oneFunction(lists): category = random.choice(list(lists.keys())) return random.choice(lists[category]) def anotherFunction(): for letter in oneFunction(lists): print(“_”, end=” “) Another approach is making anotherFunction accept word as a parameter which you can pass from the result … Read more
