Flutter - Understanding Dart data types

Dart is the programming language adopted for developing APPs using Flutter technology.

It may assume dynamic typing, supporting that a certain variable receives any value and its type changes accordingly. For this purpose the variable has to be declared using the keyword "var".

It may also use explicit data types when variables are declared expressing its type. Some of native data types are: int, double, num, String, bool, List and Map.

Below an example about how each of these data types could be utilized:

void main(){
  //data types: Number (int, double, num),String, bool, List, Map.
  print("=== INT ===");
  int intNumber=1;
  print(intNumber);

  print("=== DOUBLE ===");
  double doubleNumber=1.5;
  print(doubleNumber);

  print("=== NUM ===");
  var number=3.2;
  print(number);

  print("=== String ===");
  String stringValue="Rafael";
  print(stringValue);

  print("=== BOOL ===");
  bool booleanValue=false;
  print(booleanValue);

  print("=== List ===");
  var list = new List.filled(3, 0, growable: false);//(size, default, growable)
  list[0] = 12;
  list[1] = 13;
  list[2] = 11;
  print(list);

  print("=== Map ===");
  var map = { "firstName":"Rafael", "LastName":"Queiroz"};
  print(map["firstName"]);

  map = new Map();
  map["programing_language"]="Dart";
  print(map["programing_language"]);
}

You may watch a demonstration about how to use each of these data types in the video below:

JSON conversion: Built-in functions to convert a string in JSON format to a python object

Image
  Often web services, files or any other data exchange mechanism utilizes the JSON format as a standard to shared data between different processes. In this context, it is important to a programming language to provide functions to parse these JSON strings to a native object, enabling the data processing in a more feasible way then the string processing. For python programming language there is a module name json, which contains a method to load a JSON string, but it needs an additional parameter that is the “hook function”, a function to handle how each object will de translated to object. import json #https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html from types import SimpleNamespace #https://docs.python.org/3/library/types.html print ( "### JSON to object example with multilevel objects ####" ) data = '{"name": "Ramza Beoulve", "details": {"firstName": "Ranza", "lastName": "Beoulve"}}' # Parse...

Filter: Implementing map reduce with lambda functions (python)

Image
  The filter function is useful to reduce the amount of elements that there is in a list. It is quite performatic and composes part of map reduce techniques provided by python. The filter function basically receives two parameters. The first one is the function that will verify if a certain element keeps in the produce list or not, basically it has to compare a certain element with a criteria and if it returns true the element is preserved, otherwise not. The second parameter is the list to be filtered. The output of the filter function is another list with filtered elements. Important! The filter does not change the original list, but produces a new one. print ( "### FILTER ###" ) number_list = range (- 5 , 5 ) print ( "original list:" ) print (number_list) # Using normal function def biggerThanZero (x):     return x > 0 bigger_than_zero = list ( filter (biggerThanZero , number_list))   # filter(function, list) print ( "filtered list (bigger tha...

JS – Mastering Browser Console: Creating a Dynamic Login Form with Declarative Programming

Image
The browser console is typically utilized by most developers just for output information, using functions like console.log(), console.warn(), or console.error(). However, the browser console is interactive and can assist us in many situation if we know how to interact with that. Normally when we use some console environment to perform some programming, it is most likely to adopt the Declarative Programming paradigm, which we want to receive the result, the output of a certain function after every instruction, and it differs from the Imperative Programming, which we previously define a set of instructions which control the flow of the code execution. Basically from the browser console we can input and execute JS instructions in the same way we do when we programming in JS using .js files or add code inside <script> tags. However, the benefit of using the console is that we can interact with the JS objects in the exact point of interest, then, we can read or write over the obje...
