b.You can search and replace a simple text pattern in a string using the replace() method.
stri = "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream."
stri = replace(stri, "scream" => "cry")
println(stri)
stri = "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream."
replace(stri, "scream"=>uppercase) #replace scream by SCREAM

x > 50
end

i. Creating and Writing to a Text File in Julia
fid = open("abc.txt", "x") #"x" flag ensures that the file is created only if it does not already exist.
write(fid, "Hello Julia")
close(fid)
open("def.txt", "w") do fid #no need for close statement
write(fid, "Hey")
end
#Read a text file line by line
for line in eachline("my_file.txt")
print(line)
end
#most compact
foreach(println,eachline("my_file.txt"))
readlines("my_file.txt")
j. Parse date string to DateTime object
using Dates
dstr = "2023-07-03"
println(typeof(dstr))
date_time = DateTime(dstr, "yyyy-mm-dd")
println(date_time)
println(typeof(date_time))
New trick suggested by reviewers:
k. Make a 10-element vector of random named tuples
points = [(x=rand(), y=rand()) for i in 1:10]
distances = [sqrt(p.x^2 + p.y^2) for p in points if p.x > p.y]
#distances = [hypot(p.x , p.y) for p in points if p.x > p.y]
l. Unpacking of tuples of varying sizes (Julia version 1.9)
julia> a, b..., c = (1, 2, 3, 4)
(1, 2, 3, 4)
julia> a
1
julia> b
(2, 3)
julia> c
4
m. Convert a number array to string
julia> r = join([1,2,3.1], ", ")

n. Round a float to integer
julia> round(Int, 12.5) == Int(trunc(12.5))
true

a = [1,2,3]
splice!(a,2)
a

u. Get all the permutations with replacement (Cartesian product)
colors = ['R','G']
n = 3
vec(Iterators.product(fill(colors, n)...) |> collect)
