• Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, C#, C++, Golang, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Clojure, Delphi, 1C and SQL. The construct is on the tip of your tongue, but the exact syntax slips away: • How do you sort an array with the language's own tools? • How do you run a task on a background thread? • How do you insert a substring at the right place in a string? The app answers with a ready-made example, and all that is left is to adjust it to your task. • Over 6500 ready-to-use examples (snippets): strings, arrays, collections, files, networking, multithreading, design patterns. • SQL in a section of its own: JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, subqueries, data types, over 200 examples with a practice database. • Run examples and see the result right in the app: most examples and every SQL query are runnable. Running requires an internet connection. • Add your own examples and keep a personal code library in the app. • Prepare for interviews and exams on examples you can trust. • Examples are selected from professional literature and specialist resources, and every one of them has been verified by running it. • All content works offline. Made by a developer for developers.
