How to use the value returned from Position as index for another list?
Position vs Part
Prime ideal in a polynomial ring over an integrally closed domain Why does everyone tell me writing code like this is a bad practice?  if (foo)     Bar();  //or  for(int i = 0 i &lt; count; i++)     Bar(i);   My biggest argument for omitting the curly braces is that it can sometimes be twice as many lines with them. For example, here is some code to paint a glow effect for a label in C#.  using (Brush br = new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(15, GlowColor))) {     for (int x = 0; x &lt;= GlowAmount; x++)     {         for (int y = 0; y &lt;= GlowAmount; y++)         {             g.DrawString(Text, this.Font, br, new Point(IconOffset + x, y));         }      }  }  //versus using (Brush br = new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(15, GlowColor)))     for (int x = 0; x &lt;= GlowAmount; x++)         for (int y = 0; y &lt;= GlowAmount; y++)             g.DrawString(Text, this.Font, br, new Point(IconOffset + x, y));   You can also get the added benefit of chaining usings together without having to indent a million times.  using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)) {     using (Brush brush = new SolidBrush(backgroundColor))     {         using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.FromArgb(penColor)))         {             //do lots of work         }     }  } //versus using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)) using (Brush brush = new SolidBrush(backgroundColor)) using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.FromArgb(penColor))) {     //do lots of work }     The most common argument for curly braces revolves around maintance programming, and the problems that would ensue by inserting code between the original if statement and its intended result:  if (foo)     Bar();     Biz();     Questions:   Is it wrong to want to use the more compact syntax which the language offers? The people that design these languages are smart, I can't imagine they would put a feature which is always bad to use. Should we or Shouldn't we write code so the lowest common denominator can understand and have no problems working with it?  Is there another argument that I'm missing? Why would layout_width="wrap_content" take up the entire width of the screen? I have a "term reference" field, in a form that uses an auto-complete widget. I want to limit user input to terms in the vocabulary only, and output a message when a user tries to enter a non existing term.  I found the  module. However this does not work with forms that contain a field collection or a field group.  There is also a contributed patch . But I was wondering whether there was a simpler/cleaner solution like a module or maybe I missed an already existing way of doing it with latest drupal and taxonomy versions. Is adjoint of singular matrix singular? What would be its rank? Define ≡ in this situation? terminal won't launch after install python 3.5 After I installed Python 3.5 and ran the commands below, my terminal and many other programs won't launch any more.  cd /usr/bin sudo rm python3 sudo ln -s python3.5 python3    How can I restore the default Python version again to fix these problems? How can I test if a RegEx matches a string exactly?  var r = /a/; r.test("a"); // returns true r.test("ba"); // returns true testExact(r, "ba"); // should return false testExact(r, "a"); // should return true Force a browser to load the 'https' edition of a website, not the 'http'? Python multiprocessing: restrict number of cores used What is the formula for Real vs Apparent Depth, when not looking perpendicular to the interface?   I know the formula $$\frac{\text{real depth}}{\text{apparent depth}}=n$$   but I'm not looking for this. Find the value of $\binom{2000}{2} + \binom{2000}{5} + \binom{2000}{8} + \cdots \binom{2000}{2000}$ Find the value of $\binom{2000}{2} + \binom{2000}{5} + \binom{2000}{8} + \cdots \binom{2000}{2000}$     I've seen many complex proofs. I am looking for an elementary proof. I know the fact that $\binom{2000}{0} + \binom{2000}{1} + \binom{2000}{2} + \cdots \binom{2000}{2000} = 2^{2000}$. This may help here. What is the difference between SAN, NAS and DAS? What is the difference between SAN, NAS and DAS? Probability question with interarrival times (Why did the chicken cross the road?) A chicken wants to cross a single-lane road where the cars arrive according to a Poisson process with rate $\lambda$. She needs at least $k$ minutes to cross the road safely, so she will have to wait until she sees a gap of at least $k$ between the oncoming cars. If the gap between the car that just arrived and the next one is at least $k$ then she starts crossing the road immediately. Let $T$ denote the random time she needs to wait by the road.  Find the expected time needed to cross the road. How to check for an active Internet connection on iOS or macOS? What is a Generic Handler in asp.net and its use? Considering phrases of the form "I left [the] X", what causes some words to need a "the" before them, while it sounds awkward with others?  Needs "the":   I left the office I left the bank I left the house I left the courthouse   Awkward with "the":   I left work I left social media I left New York   Either way works:   I left [the] school I left [the] church Do I need to play previous Witchers before Witcher3 I'm thinking about buying The Witcher 3 and I know it's heavily based on a story/narrative.   For the story/narrative to make sense, do I need to play the previous 2 Witcher games - or are the stories for each title independent of one another? What is the current state of apple device (iPhone, iPod, etc.) support? What ubuntu applications provide support? (guides, how to's, status) Also, specifically, details on support for syncing music to iPhone's and iPod's with the latest OS version:   Can you sync music to apple devices using >iOS4? (iPhone &amp; iPod) What applications allow you to do this and how? (guides, how to's, status)    What has already been established is:   Apple does not support Linux and has no plans to.  provides some support, however it currently does not support music/video synchronization with devices &gt;iOS4. Go to  and scroll to the section titled "" to see if your device version is supported. Is it possible to allow usage for an app or program for a specific times on a Mac? I was trying to achieve this using a second account (which is the admin account) and Parental Controls, but it seemed this isn't possible to do so.  I know there are some programs which you can download that help you with this, (Cold Turkey, for example). But, it would be much easier if I could do this using only tools already available on macOS.
