Create Array without nullable types from Array with nullable types

In Kotlin we have to distinguish between nullable types and not nullable types. Let's say I have an Array<String?> fom which I know that every value within it is actually not null. Is there an easy way to create an Array<String> from the source array without copying it?

  • How about mapNotNull().toArray()?

array.requireNoNulls() returns same array Array<T?> with non-optional type Array<T> (But throws IllegalArgmentException if any of the item found null).



if you are sure that your array doesn't have null then you can typecast.



array as Array<String>

  • array.requireNoNulls() is safer to use in what sense? It throws an IllegalArgumentException if there are any null elements.

Array.filterNotNull might be the safer way to do it. But it will create a new Array.



val items: Array<String?> = arrayOf("one", "two", null, "three")

val itemsWithoutNull: List<String> = items.filterNotNull()

count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
