Interview Questions – ES6 Questions

1. What is traceur?
   • ES6 -> ES5
   • Traceur is a JavaScript.next-to-JavaScript-of-today compiler that allows you to use features from the future today. Traceur supports ES6 as well as some experimental ES.next features.Traceur’s goal is to inform the design of new JavaScript features which are only valuable if they allow you to write better code. Traceur allows you to try out new and proposed language features today, helping you say what you mean in your code while informing the standards process.JavaScript’s evolution needs your input. Try out the new language features. Tell us how they work for you and what’s still causing you to use more boilerplate and “design patterns” than you prefer

    

2. What are the required node_modules to makes traceur working properly

   • $ npm install traceur
     $ npm install traceur-runtime

3. Why do you need traceur-runtime?
4. What is the node command to compile ES6 to ES5?

Java examples: Enhanced For Loop

	public static void enhancedForLoop(){
	int[] arr = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
	System.out.println("\nEXAMPLE: Enhanced For Statement");
	for (int temp: arr){ // Create a temporary variable, same type as array values. For
	// loop assign array value to the temporary variable
	System.out.println("Enhanced = " + temp);
	}
	}

Java examples: Switch Statement

	public static void witchStatment(int num) {
	System.out.println("\nEXAMPLE: Switch Statement");
	switch(num){ //Check the value
	case 0:
	System.out.println("Case = " + num); // Execute this if 'case' matches the 'value'
	break; // Stop the statement
	case 1:
	System.out.println("Case = " + num); // Execute this if 'case' matches the 'value'

Java examples: While Loop vs ‘do’-while loop

While Loop

	public static void whileLoop(){
	System.out.println("\nEXAMPLE: While Loop");
	int num = 0;
	while(num <= 20) { // Check the while condition first, Then execute the loop
	// Then while 'l' is less than or equal to '0'
	System.out.println("num = " + num);
	num++; //increment 'l' by 1
	}
	}

‘do’-while loop

	public static void doWhileLoop() {
	System.out.println("\nEXAMPLE: Do While Loop");
	int num = 0;
	do {
	// DO the work... Execute the loop first
	System.out.println("num = " + num);
	num++; //increment 'l' by 1
	} while(num <= 20); // Check the conditions
	}

Self Invoking Function (Tutorial – JS)

Self invoking functions are used to stop global scope pollution and ensure the code doesn’t conflict with other code in the page.


(function (a, b) { //Temporary name space for all
// the variables within the function

//code goes here

}() //Invoke the function

); //Without this enclosing parenthesis JS
//will identify this as a function declartion statement only

 

Working example – JSFiddle

var p = 8;
var q = 7;

(function (a, b) {
var x = a * a ;
var y = b * b;
var z = Math.sqrt(x + y);
var r = p + q; // Effects of global scope pollution
console.log(r);
console.log(z);

}(3, 4));

console.log(p); // declaration of variables outside polluted the global scope
console.log(z); // “ReferenceError: z is not defined” = Global scope is not polluted

Semantic Snips – Update

I am having some spare time. So I am taking the liberty to compile Semantic Snippets.

I’m using few handpicked resources to ensure everything is consistent. So all the code will be mash up of

• WHATWG
• W3.org
• WAI-ARIA
• Schema.org
• BBC Future Media Standards & Guidelines
• Google webmaster academy
• HTML 5 Doctor
• Dive in to HTML5
• Initializr
• Twitter Bootstrap
• Baseline Grid

At this stage I do not intend provide comprehensive guide to how html5 should be used as above resources are more than enough. Just compilation of snippets inline with best practice for different use cases with references to additional reading materials.

Some of this issues may be subjected to debate. I certainly welcome that

CATH Introduction – BioInformatics

CATH DATABASE Link

What is CATH?

Cath is a database of manually curated protein domain structures. It’s a hierarchical domain classification of protein structures in the Protein Data Bank. Protein structures are classified using a combination of automated and manual procedures. There are four major levels in this hierarchy:

• Class – structures are classified according to their secondary structure composition (mostly alpha, mostly beta, mixed alpha/beta or few secondary structures).

• Architecture – structures are classified according to their overall shape as determined by the orientations of the secondary structures in 3D space but ignores the connectivity between them.

• Topology (fold family) – structures are grouped into fold groups at this level depending on both the overall shape and connectivity of the secondary structures.

• Homologous superfamily – this level groups together protein domains which are thought to share a common ancestor and can therefore be described as homologous.

Cath Domain

structure Domains are regions of contiguous polypeptide chain that have been described as compact, local, and semi-independent units. Within a protein, domains can be anything from independant globular units joined only by a flexible length of polypeptide chain, to units which have a very extensive interface. There are a number of algorithms that have been developed to detect domains automatically, some of which have been incorporated into the CATH update protocol. Many domains, however, still …

Calculating average using a perl script

Ok here is the basic perl script for calculating average.

I assume you know how to run the script if you dont ( I will put up a tutorial later so for now dig around in other forms )

Perl Script for calculating average from another file

#!/usr/bin/perl
#calculate averate from a file

use strict;

my $total = 0;
my $count =0;
while (my $line = <>) {
      $total +=$line;
      $count ++=;
}
print "Average = ", $total / $count, "\n";

So the  explaniation for the above code is…

use strict; – allow to find simple mistakes

to find the $average need to calculate

my $total

and the total number of lines

my $count

At the begining of the loop these values are 0.

therefore define the inital value

my $total  = 0;
my $count =0;

So now what you need to do this read each line andadd each value consequtively.

while (my $line = <>) {
   $total += $line;
   $count ++=;
 }
print "Average = ", $total / $count, "\n";

Read the first line.  Then add then and the value read to the total inital value  of 0.

   $total = $line + $total

calculate the total

   $count = $count + 1

calculate the total number of lines read
this can be written in short form as below

   $total += $line;
   $count ++=;

then go back in loop adding value conseutively until there are no more lines to read and then print the line

print "Average = ", $total / $count, "\n";

Hope this is clear I will put a anotated diagram up with more explanation later on.

Java Tutorial – Installing JAVA SE Development Kit (JDK)

Before writing a JAVA program first need to download JDK which allows write JAVA and compile the code.

1. Download appropriate JAVA SE Development Kit (JDK) for your operating system
2. Run the Installation
3. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin (this location may change in any instance you want to navigate to bin in JDK installation) make sure you have the .exe files there.
4. copy the location of the bin C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin
5. Right click on computer and select properties > Advanced System settings > Environment variables
6. Click on New and Variable name as Path and variable value as location of the bin so in my case it would be C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin
7. Click OK  OK
8. To make sure compiler is working and ready for JAVA programming open cmd and run JavaC and if Java Compliler is working should get some random code as below
