Replacing First Three Digits of a Number Introduction Have you ever found yourself dealing with a dataset that contains numbers with a specific format? Perhaps you need to replace the first three digits of these numbers with another value. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this using R and regular expressions. Background Regular expressions (regex) are a powerful tool for pattern matching in string data. They allow us to search for patterns in strings and perform actions based on those matches.

Understanding and Working with Regular Expressions in Python ============================================================= In this article, we will explore the concept of regular expressions in Python, including how to use them for pattern matching, data extraction, and validation. We’ll also examine common pitfalls and solutions when working with str objects. Regular expressions (regex) are a powerful tool for searching and manipulating text patterns. They can be used for a variety of tasks, such as validating input data, extracting specific information from unstructured data, and performing complex text replacements.

R: Splitting Strings with Custom Delimiters ===================================================== In this article, we will explore ways to split strings in R that have a custom format. We will dive into the world of string manipulation and see how to achieve this using various libraries and techniques. Background When working with data from external sources or APIs, it’s not uncommon to encounter strings that need to be processed before being used for further analysis.

Understanding UIDynamics and UIGravityBehaviour in iOS Development Introduction to UIDynamics UIDynamics is a feature in Apple’s UIKit framework that allows developers to create dynamic interactions between objects on the screen. It provides an API for creating various behaviors, including gravity, elasticity, and collisions, which can be applied to UIViews. One of the key components of UIDynamics is UIGravityBehaviour, which simulates a gravitational force acting on objects in your app. When you use UIGravityBehaviour, it applies a downward force to the object’s center point, causing it to accelerate downwards.

Using mutate() and across() for Specific Rows in Dplyr The dplyr package provides a powerful and flexible way to manipulate data frames in R, including the mutate() function for creating new columns. One of its lesser-known features is using across() with regular expressions (regex) to perform operations on specific columns or patterns. In this article, we will explore how to use mutate(), across(), and matches() to apply a transformation only to rows that match a certain condition in the data frame.

Error w/ R curve() function: ’expr’ did not evaluate to an object of length ’n' Introduction In this post, we will delve into the error encountered when using the curve() function in R with a custom expression. The specific issue at hand is that when trying to plot a simple function defined from user input, the curve() function encounters an error due to an unexpected symbol. Background on R’s Curve Function Before diving into the problem, let’s first take a look at what the curve() function does in R.

R Shiny: Conditional Update of Possible User Input Choices in a Dynamic Situation In this article, we will explore how to update the possible choices for user input boxes in a dynamic Shiny app based on previous selections. Introduction A Shiny app is an interactive web application built using the Shiny package in R. It allows users to interact with the app by selecting options from dropdown menus, sliders, and other input types.

Understanding UIWebView Interaction and Hiding the UIToolbar In this article, we will delve into the world of UIWebView interaction and explore how to hide the UIToolbar element when a user interacts with the web view. We’ll also discuss some common pitfalls and provide sample code to help you achieve your desired “Full Screen” look. What is UIWebView? UIWebView is a UIKit component that allows you to embed a web view into your iOS app.

Understanding Mutable Arrays in Objective-C: A Deep Dive Introduction to Mutable Arrays In Objective-C, a mutable array is a type of collection that allows you to store and manipulate a series of values. Unlike immutable arrays, which cannot be modified once created, mutable arrays can be added to, removed from, or modified after initialization. In this article, we will explore the basics of mutable arrays in Objective-C, including declaration, initialization, and usage.

Working with R and CSV Files: Understanding the Issue of Missing Decimals When working with data in R, it’s common to need to export your data to a CSV file for further analysis or sharing. However, there have been instances where decimal values seem to disappear when exported from R to Excel via an import data function. In this article, we’ll explore the underlying reasons behind this issue and provide some practical solutions to help you maintain accurate decimal representations in your CSV files.
