I'm wondering what is the cleanest way to make a property return the value specified in its  if not initialized.  For example, I would like the getter of this property to return 42 if not initialized:  [DefaultValue(42)] public int MyProperty { get; set; }   Any solution / refactored code welcomed. Target is .Net 4 (if greater, please indicate a fallback)  Ultimately, the aim is to avoid "hardcoding" the default value twice in order to facilitate maintenance. Also note that in a real scenario, there would be several such properties in one class. So ideally, I would prefer to avoid a solution that manually lists and initializes each properties to its default value.
How do you give a C# auto-property an initial value?  I either use the constructor, or revert to the old syntax.    Using the Constructor:  class Person  {     public Person()     {         Name = "Initial Name";     }     public string Name { get; set; } }   Using normal property syntax  (with an initial value)  private string name = "Initial Name"; public string Name  {     get      {         return name;     }     set     {         name = value;     } }   Is there a better way?
If $ a,b,c\in \left(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\;,$ Then prove that $\frac{\sin (a+b+c)}{\sin a+\sin b+\sin c}<1$ If $\displaystyle a,b,c\in \left(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\;,$ Then prove that $\displaystyle \frac{\sin (a+b+c)}{\sin a+\sin b+\sin c}&lt;1$   $\bf{My\; Try::}$ Using $$\sin(a+\underbrace{b+c}) = \sin a\cdot \cos (b+c)+\cos a\cdot \sin (b+c)$$  $$ = \sin a\cdot (\cos b\cos c-\sin b\sin c)+\cos a(\sin b\cos c+\cos b\sin c)$$  $$ = \sin a\cos b\cos c-\sin a\sin b\sin c+\cos a \sin b\cos c+\cos a\cos b\sin c$$  Now how can i solve it after  that , Help required, Thanks How to create a Customized Ubuntu Server ISO? Can I charge my laptop with a charger that has different specifications? I'm using a common charger for both of my laptops.  The charger is specified at 20 Volts and 3.25 Amperes. My other laptop has a specification of 19 V and 3.42 A.  Is it safe to charge my laptop with chargers whose specifications exceed or are not equal to the mentioned specifications?  I have read somewhere that it may cause some damage if the voltage or amperage is not matching the specs. How do you convert a matrix to a cell array of equivalent size? Got any tips or tricks for Terminal in Mac OS X? One tip or trick per answer.  My favorite is   open .   Opens the folder you're currently browsing in Finder. You can also pass URLs, images, documents or else to open.  If you specify a program name with -a you can pass the URL, image, document or folder to that program instead, e.g. open -a Preview image.png, overriding the default program set for the filetype.

The most common task using sudo is installing and removing software.  sudo apt-get purge &lt;appname&gt;   But sudo itself can be removed.  sudo apt-get purge sudo # Do not run this command on production computers!   This is where the fun comes  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo bash: /usr/bin/sudo: No such file or directory   Although it's obvious that no person in his right mind will purge sudo (other than me), someone can be fooled to run this command (not directly, in its hex mode, or whatever it's called) or a person could SSH in disguised as tech guru and do the mess.  So is there a way of reinstalling sudo? Cost Distance Analyst In QGIS?

Due to the lack of a decent driver (Yes, i'm unlucky to have a legacy driver which doesn't play nice with the new Xorg.), I had to mess around with stuff to first troubleshoot and afterwards "fix" my system.  I've finally got unity back, but now CtrlAltarrow and CtrlAltShiftarrow don't work anymore. They are bound in "keyboard" > "shortcuts", but nothing happens when I try it. A strange thing is that other keyboard shortcuts, like ctrlaltt to show terminal are still working.  I noticed that CtrlAltarrow doesn't show in the list with "unity shortcuts" (the list that shows when you hold the super key).  Does anyone know how to re-enable this way of workspace switching?  I enabled workspaces in the appearance menu. It doesn't have any effect though. Switching via the workspace-switcher in the unity dash works fine though.  CCSM is installed, but I can't seem to find a way to add keyboard bindings there.     System: ubuntu 13.04 64bit Website logo text - best tag for SEO purposes? I'm trying to develop a new website in HTML5 adhering to SEO standards where possible and I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out what tag my site name and slogan should live in.  Originally I had my site name in a &lt;h1&gt; tag and my sloagan in a &lt;h2&gt;, but soon realised this wasn't fitting with the "each page is a separate document/article" approach.  The site name is the largest text on the page (sometimes the same as my article heading), but I've currently got the text in a &lt;p&gt; tag with CSS doing all the styling work.  My questions is, what should I do with the site name and slogan? Is the &lt;h1&gt; appropriate, then use another &lt;h1&gt; tag for each page title or should I continue using the styled &lt;p&gt; tag? Or should I convert this into an image and use that for the site name/slogan?  (Side note: on my index page I want the site name and slogan to be &lt;h1&gt; and &lt;h2&gt;respectively as this makes sense with the homepage...)

L293, L298 and SN754410 H-bridge drivers on low voltage power supply This question is about the following three integrated H-bridge drivers: -    or L293D (D = protection diodes added)  (protection diodes included)  (no protection diodes)   Time after time the same question keeps coming up - someone is using one of these devices (on a low voltage, usually around 6V or less) and they are just not performing adequately. The reasons are listed further below but my question is this: -  What H-bridge drivers are preferred when controlling a low-voltage motor?   Information  The L293 and the SN754410 are nearly identical and crucially, if you try and control a 1 amp load, you are faced with dismal performance: -    The tables tell you (typical conditions) that the upper transistor drops (loses) about 1.4 volts when driving a 1A load and, the lower transistor drops (loses) about 1.2 volts when driving a 1A load. The upshot is that if you have a 6V, 1A motor and 6V battery, don't expect to see more than 3.4 volts across the motor: -  \$V_{OUT} = 6V - (1.4V + 1.2V) = 3.4V\$  Worst case scenario is you might only see 2.4 volts across it.  What about the L298? It's got a nice big heat-sink whereas the L293 and SN754410 are regular-looking chips. Here's what the volt drop (losses) look like: -    It's the same story - for a 1A load, you can expect to lose up to 3.2 volts and, what you thought might be 6V across your motor, is at best 4.2 volts and at worst only 2.8 volts.  Clearly none of the devices listed are suitable for low voltage applications where the motor might be expected to draw in excess of 0.5 amps. As a physics student, I have occasionally run across the gamma function  $$\Gamma(n) \equiv \int_0^{\infty}t^{n-1}e^{-t} \textrm{d}t = (n-1)!$$  when we want to generalize the concept of a factorial.  Why not define the gamma function so that   $$\Gamma(n) = n!$$  instead?  I realize either definition is equally good, but if someone were going to ask me to choose one, I would choose the second option.  Are there some areas of mathematics where the accepted definition looks more natural?  Are there some formulas that work out more cleanly with the accepted definition? How to find the roots of $x^4 +1$ I'm trying to find the roots of $x^4+1$. I've already found in this site solutions for polynomials like this $x^n+a$, where $a$ is a negative term. I don't remember how to solve an equation when $a$ is a positive term as the equation above.  Thanks Is there a maximum number of devices allowed on a Google Play Account? Prove that if $a&gt;0$ then $1+a^9 \leq \frac{1}{a}+a^{10} $.   Using the fact that $a \gt 0$, multiply by $a$ on both sides and get everything to one side we have; $a^{11}-a^{10}-a+1 \geq 0$. By factoring $(a^{10}-1)(a-1) \geq 0 $.  I am not sure how to proceed any further. Where is Jon going?

I would like to find some standard way to install it in El Capitan (mine OS X 10.11.3) because it has significantly better support in some functions than Matlab, discussed in the thread .  I do brew search octave and get  homebrew/science/octave    Caskroom/cask/octave       Caskroom/cask/xoctave       where one of the first two should be a correct one. The project's homepage  for OS X is down  about installing Octave on OS X systems.  There is also ruby's way of installing Octave described in the thread  but for Yosemite.  I would like to find some standard way of getting Octave for OS X.   I do successfully brew update and brew upgrade before the commands.
