10 Scala One Liners to Impress Your Friends

Here are 10 one-liners which show the power of scala programming, impress your friends and woo women; ok, maybe not. However, these one liners are a good set of examples using functional programming and scala syntax you may not be familiar with. I feel there is no better way to learn than to see real examples.

Updated: June 17, 2011 - I'm amazed at the popularity of this post, glad everyone enjoyed it and to see it duplicated across so many languages. I've included some of the suggestions to shorten up some of my scala examples. Some I intentionally left longer as a way for explaining / understanding what the functions were doing, not necessarily to produce the shortest possible code; so I'll include both.

1. Multiple Each Item in a List by 2

The map function takes each element in the list and applies it to the corresponding function. In this example, we take each element and multiply it by 2. This will return a list of equivalent size, compare to o

Disassemble and Modify an Binary To Change a Function

In this gist I show how to disassemble and modify a Linux executable binary to change the body of a function. This will allow you to control how a binary behaves, even when you don't have access to the source code and you can't recompile it.

In my case, I was asked to try and bypass the protection mechanism implemented. The protection mechanism implemented was meant to only allow a binary to be run in presence of a valid license.

So basically my activity involved:

Finding the function which performs the protection check
Disassembling the binary

	import matplotlib
	import tensorflow as tf
	import gzip
	import os
	import sys
	import time


	flags = tf.flags

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <uv.h>

	//which was based on libuv 0.1, there is considerable difference there.
